FITYCZILDA, FEB. 3.—We have this instant received the 'news, that at live o'cloCk this morning the forts of the Seo ":trEirgel have been given up to the Constitutionalists. The de ' "tails of this business are not kuovin, but it is said that the gar rison saved themselves, and that the COnstitutionalists are in pursuit of them. Nothing is heard in this town but songs of triumph, music,- and` ringing of bells, from joy at this fortu i;•- rate event. We can now say that in Catalonia the faction is extinct. I have not time to tell you more, because joy pre . -'vents me writing. I shall Inform you of more particulars by the ordinary courier. . _ " P.S, Recruits arrivein great multitudes in Catalonia." " PERPIONAN, FEU: 5.--It was said that the communica tions with Spain were broken off according to otders given at ' , eight o'clock this morning ; but the Custom-ho Use officers have received no such order, and the Prefeergave out passports for fipain this morning. - 0. I told you yesterday that orders had been given to the bat talions of the 32d, and to the squadrons of the 12th Chasseurs, to march to-day for Cerdagne, and they have left. General de Vence is to set out immediately for that place, and General Dosson is to establish his head-quarters at Collioure. General 'Peceadetre has established his at Ceret. The report was spread 'that our *Wien; were to occupy Puycerda, but this report is without foundation., "'To-triorrow the firit company 'of 'horse artillery is to re ceive a complete battery, composed of six 'eight-pounders and. two howitzers, .six caissons , for the howitzers, and twelve for the guns, a forge, &c., in all twenty:eight teams 'of six horses. each. " I have already told you, that Misas was come to calm the refugees, and incorporate them with his band. it. part of - those cantoned in the:neighbourhood of Ceret put themselves in motion ou the 2d, to' enter Spain by the , Corde Matrem ; -but they were so warmly received by the militia, that they re turned yesterday to Arles, unckon - the 'seine day took up their former quarters. " Yesterday the militia of Jonquere went to attack the bands of guerait at &joie, and pursued them as far as the Col de Lid, whith separates France from Spain. The factious took 'refuge it the French territoty, after having lost 15 men. Some of their wounded were carried to Ceret. Thia affair caused moment of our troops under General Peccadeuc towards the .• frontier." • OF PLIYCEICUA, r EU. 4.—The ibrts of Urgel were evacuated at 6 o'clock yesterday morning.

Journal,, goisaieres had-relep neared under the walls.of Madridfaurt that there he 4 been a COW111(81011 ill the town,lieedell by gorilla, in consequence 'of which San Miguel. .and three other Ministers had been _displaced. There is no, truth in, these- reports. The ad. ventorer,(4essi4es.) is: flying before the Consti iu annalists, and. a .t . .nurier recently arrived from .Madrid informs _us, that the prospect of war: lied united all parties in.that capital, and that _nod thing was thought of but the defence of the country. Addresses pour hi from the towns to the Cortes, and numerous levies are organising in all parts of Spain. The speech delivered by M. Duvergier de liauranne, in the Chamber of, Deputies, on the► motion for an - Address, has been published, and we find in it the following passages : " I have already said, Gentlemen, that we shall probably make ourselves masters of Madrid, but there our dangers will begin, and there we shall first find ourselves in a singular situa tion ; if we support the re-establishment of absolute power, we shall have some partisans, and many enemies ; if we com mand the establishment of a •Constitution somewhat similar to that of France and of England, we shall have only enemies. " Whatever side we may adopt, we shall be forced to occupy Spain militarily for a long time ; we shall naturally seek to diminish our expences in making the Spaniards contribute, and very soon the other inconveniences of an occupation by fo reigners will arise, the petty vexations of each day, which will offend the national pride of the Spaniards. " Two distinguishing features may be remarked in the Spa nish character, viz.—The most decided ?wired of all Amiga do ?ablation, and a tenaciousness of resistance. A general revolt will break out sooner or later, even your pretended friends will turn against you, the Guerillas will carry on a bloody war against you—beaten to-day, they will re-appear to-morrow. The harrassed army will be ruined by its daily losses, reinforce ments will be continually necessary, and new levies in France will exhaust our Treasury. We may be reduced to make a precipitate retreat " But, (lentlemen, latUSe.Tai - tiii .- ui• eyes over what will be going on in France during this time. Do you not see maritime commerce nearly annihilated —incistry and manufactures checked or wholly stopped ? Do you not see taxes augmented,' discussion Of the motives and results of the war become more animated, and discontent general ? Let'us suppose that we are, without allies, what disorders may not arise, what rebellions not break out? But how will. you suppress them when the interior is destitute of troops ? El,i it not evident that great perils await the Monarchj , ? " I have considered the question, hitherto, only in relation to France and the Triple Alliance . ; but I shall now submit to you some observations on the policy which England may pur sue. She has an evident interest that the Powers of the North do not acqUire a preponderating influence in the affairs of t he South of Europe. It it of consequence to her to hinder the troops of the Triple Alliance from occupying Spain, and remaining in France. But, if the war breaks out, England will be &idea by her interests. Even, in declaring her self neutral, she will preserve a half-hostile attitude. Our Merchants and Ship-owners will be afraid of engaging in coin mecca, and England will make herself mistress of all the trade of the Levant, of Spain, of Portugal, and of North and South America. She will forestall us every where, and when peace returns, the etlbrts of our merchants to renew our com mercial relations, will be fruitless ; habits will be formed ; the English, with whom we have now so much trouble to compete, will be every where masters of the field of commerce. We shall be thrown back 20 years. But may we hope for a strict neu trality ? I shall point out to the Chamber two points of discus sion, which will soon give rise to disputes--I mean the right of search and of blockade. • •' People are much afraid of privateers, and though in my Opinion the danger has been exaggerated, because maritime law requires that the proprietor, the captain, and three parts of the crew, shall be subjects of the beltigerent Powers. It cannot, however, be denied that vessels fitted out under false colours may be dreaded, and that piracy may he practised. Pirates and privateers conceal their guns, and display u friendly tlag ; the only means of carrying on a war against them is the right of search, because they are forced to defend themselves Or run away. On the other hand this right is necessary to ascertain if vessels carry warlike stores. Do you believe, Clentlemen, that the English, who practise the right of search so rigorously when it is useful to them, will Patiently sub mit to it in their turn from us ! It may be feared that this will not be the case. The llionileur of Thuisday contains an ordi. nance for raising M. de Legarde to the dignity of the Peerage, with the title of Baron. The Duke of San-Lore•nzo the Spanish Ambassador, left Paris et five o'clock on Wednes day afternoon for London. His Excelleney will travel slowly on account of the ill.health of the Duchess, on whose account it chiefly that he visits England. It is understoood to be the Duke's Intention to repair almost 'lmmediately to Madrid. SPAIN. tenon rut CONSTITITTIONNEL, PER. 14. The news which we received from Madrid of the Bth inform us that the Spanish Ministry were no sooner informed of what had passed on the opening of the French Chambers than they pro posed the following Decrees, which were in stantly approved of :- 1. A new levy of Men. " 2. The immediate fitting out of 150 gun-boats. " 3. Authorisation given to the Government to permit to friendly potent; the free introduction of their produce.. 4. The disposal of the national property by private sales. " b. The disposal of the produce of the revenue of the mines and other objects applied to - national credit. " ti. The obligation of every province to provide by all pos. .fleble means for the arming, equipping, and other necessary re. luisitions for each partial contingent." The most perfect tranquillity prevails in Madrid. Three corps, d'oryptre are forming ; the army of Catalonia, which will continue to be conimsnded by General Mina ; the army of Navarre and /Wagon cotnmanded by Gen. Hallasteroa; and the army 'of reserve under the orders of Abisbal. The corps of factious commatuled by Hessieres is surrounded at Meta. Ile has demanded to couttlate. Ili manifets th e deairolre as to sue at last all b reve Spaniards forget their die. ,tensions, and unite to march against those. who would invade their country, declaring that there ought to be no longer,any difference when the country itself is threatened. This (banana is :perhaps a little - tardy, and the change will appear a little prompt; but this is not the first time Bessieres ha* changed Ilia eoloura Ilia party. however,, the Constitutionelists love their carontrytoo well nut to hasten to open their arms to their brethren who have gone astray., At the departure of the con. tier the rumour was spreed, that the .capitulation had been accepted by the victorious General. The Ulna generoaity marked the c on d uc t of Mina towards the wrecks uf the bands which still defended Urgel ; be allow. ed them to withdraw without firing on them. His principal object was to take possession of this last refuge for faction in The fort of lrati has been reduced to ashes.

[ritual MAWCAIB.] The speech at opening the- French Chambers has awakened, at ,lilatiridovith a new force, the feelings caused by tleppublication of the Notes of the Powers of the North and France. One:sentiment roarfifested itself in all classes of the population—the resolution ; of defending, at the expence of every sacrifice, the Constitotion. of the Monarchy and the independence of die country. The Cieverrintenp appears disposed to second; by energetic means,_ the ganeroua impulse of the citizens. There has been remark.' ed, m themessures of defence proposed to the Cortes, a dis. position full of wisdom; and perfectly suited to the ancient habits of Spain, .the confiding to each Province the care of pro viding at its own ~.Ixpenetevery thing required for the wants of the moment and the defence of the territory. ( From the Jenrnal des &bats.) This Paper gives the project of law proposed to the Cortes in the Siting of the 7th, the heads of which we have already ex. tracted, and then the following account of the Debate on it:-- "M. Rolm() opposes the Decree—l am far from wishing to refuse the, Government the necessary force to defend our libertiei, but it appears to me that we ought to have already a sufficient armed force. In 1821 the army was 58,000 men ; with the two kicks decreed in 1822, one of 7,000, the other of 30,000, the army ought to be 87,000 men. Add the active militia, which is 58,000 men, we shall have a total of 140,000 • men. Supposing that losses, See. have reduced this number to 128,000 men, we ought to have still some thousands above the maximum recognized. and fixed by. the Government itself at 122,000 men. " The MtNISTE: it of Wan.e-Asjto the levies in some of the • Provinces of the North, it has not been possible to carry them into complete effect; instead of producing 30,000 men, we have in reality only raised hitherto 22,706 men. We have also had some losses in consequence of the war we have been obliged to carry on against the factious. In short, we want a larger force than in the case of an - Ordinary war; we must be ready to repulse the foreign enemy, and we must continue to keep down the civil war kindled in several parts of the territory. M. VALDEz—We have to defend the national independence and the political existence of Spain. If the Government had demanded fifty thousand men instead of thirty thousand, I should have, granted them. There will be no harm in increasing the army to 200,000 men. 'We must not speak of what it pos. sible or impossible; when the object is the salvation of the country. "M. GoszaLEZ.ALowzo—l believe the levy rather under then above our want'. I should have pyeferred torty thousand men. It would also he pendent to withdraw for the moment into the interior provinces the manufactories ()farms, which unfortu nately are placed hear the threatened frontier. "..M. BECURA having demanded that a day be fixed for the deawinee, and that the only sons of widows be excepted. M. CANGA would find these amendments useful at an. other time. said he, ' let us lose no t i me , an d d o not l et us delay an instant the promulgaticin of this Decree. Already the war is commencse The vanguard of the Army of inva. sion is already in Spain. For it is .merelyak a vanguard of th e enemy that we mu s t cons id er those bands ofassasainsebrigands, criminals of all sorts, united under the name of Army of the Faith. These j?otas are but the light troops of the enemy. The' Spaniards are united. The Spaniards' do not make war against each other. King Ferdinand will march the first to de. fend the Constitution he has freely and spontaneously sworn to. If the invading army invoke the God of St. Louis, we will invoke the God who protected the Spanish arms at R onceev all es and in the d a y o f St. Quentin ; we will invoke ,the God of Jus.. tice and Victory.' " • j The Minister of Finance proposes the authorising the Go. .j vernment to take grain in payment of arrears. The Spanish Journals are tilled with observations more or less bitter on the Speech of the King of France; which arrived at Madrid on the Stii. The Universal says that King Phillip. V. on ascending the throne, had sworn to preserve the laws of the kingdom, and had therefore admitted that the Constitution did not emanate solely front the will of the Monarch. BAYON:4E, FEB.. 7.-- 7 We have received the following accounts from Yruu The Speech of the King of France at the opening of the Ses sion. was calculated to irritate all parties in Spain, except those wretched beings who have sought an asylum in France,'and who have now no influence in their own country. The Constitutionalists of both parties, the Moderates, the Anilleros, and the Afrancesados, will none of them agree that Ferdinand' shall be free to. give to his People in stitutions which they can only receive from him ; so that the union of parties is accomplished ; and as for the rest of the nation, all will be ready to repel the enemy, should he venture to appear on their territory. 4 call from the National ltc presentation will suffice to raise the Nation in a mass, to form as many armies as there are pro vinces. Scarcely was the King's Speech known at St: Sebastian, Tolosa, .Balboa, Vittoria, Lo. grotto, and Pampeluna, when the indignation of the ,citizens was at its height. " The Constitu l tion or death I to arms to repulse the enemy !" is the general cry in all these countries ; so that Torrijos having manifested his intention to or ganize the National Guard in the latter place, hitherto a focus of corispiracy, 400 citizens came to ask for arms. The same General having ra salved to open a road across the inaccessible mountains. of Navarre, for the purpose of sending artillery to batty, above 800 inhabitants offered .their services in this labour, which makes us hope that, within a Week, that little fort, the only support of the Defenders of the Faith, will be in the power of the Constitutional troops . . Moreover, the nines of Bastan, Linn, Erro, Achescoa, Salsos, Roncal, Anso, &c. which have hitherto sheltered the factious, have taken arms en masse, and, protected by a column of 1200 Constitu tionalists, have succeeded in expelling the bands of Juanito and SantorLadron, which are cloSely . pursued by the Pastor. The same activity isobserved in other parts, and every body deserts the cause of the Serviles at the approach of datiatr. At Pempe tuna, Logrono, Vittoria, and BOLL, they are ex ercising, about 6000 recruits who have arrived.' there, most of whom are already able to load and iire their pieces, their Officers buying confined themselves for the present to this one essential point. The National Guards acquire:every day fresh vigour, and the people of Bllbottin parti- - 611:4, animated with an enthusiasm not to be described, have all sworn to join the army if the country is invaded. BiliMa has a National Guard of 700 men, most of them rich merchants and proprietors, who will be followed by the rest of the population."---The courier who is just passed through this city for Madrid, on hiSway to Paris, stated that the . Speech of the King of France, whiCh Was'knoWn at Madrid on thue 3d, had produced a salutary effect ; the more so as, on account of th e affair of Bessieres, th e r e w ere at least 15,000 ConstitutimialiSts under arms in Madrid and the neighbourhood. General indig nation was excited,- and it was expected that a decree of the' King would be immediately issued, prohibiting the entrance of French vessels into the ports of the Peninsula, the adjacent islands, and the Coloni es ,' as well as all comm erc i a l inter course by land. . The Constitutionalists having recovered from their alarms, pursue liessires,on all shies ; and when the courier left Madrid on the 4th, in the-evening, it was stated that he had been coMpletely beaten near' Sacedon by the troops of Abisbal.
