PARIS, OCT. 23. (FROM OUR OWN CORRkSrONDENT.) SPAIN. Since my last various and contradictory have been the accounts from the Pyrennees, respecting the operations of the Constitutional force'. The divisions which so long disunited and disgraced the patriots, which hastened the French invasion, facilitated the triumph of aervilism and the fall of the Cortes in 1823, still clung like a fatal mil dew to the cause, even to the moment when the harvest seemed ready for the sickle, and Spain seemed about to embrace once more her patriotic exiles, and to regain her fimented Constitution. Happily the fire of the enemy has effected what all the efforts of friendly mediators and all the appeals of patriotism had failed in ; the egotism— the selfish ambition of Valdez and his followers have been ...lifted tinder the blows of Juanito, and he has been fain to owe his escape from destruction to the friendly shield with which Mina has covered and protected him. He has tar dily done that which ought never to have been left for one ro - ment undone—he has acknowledged the Chief whom fat tin—whom France and England, with a voice too is minims to be safely slighted, hail already proclaimed as . Vie most worthy; and we may hope that, grateful for not Wing summoned to a severe account before a Council of Mar for disobedience of orders, and a wanton exposure as well as sacrifice of the lives of his brave followers, he will 4a found in his proper sphere zealous and courageous to t xecete the part assigned to him in the glorious enterprise, and duly to appreciate that, if to him are denied the talent and the opinion needful in a Commander-in-Chief, there is yet a glory in obedience and devotion, which lie may share with many others, his superiors or his equal in rank and pretensions. The banner of Tarifa was an omen of evil acceptation fhr the onslaught, and will not be re garded less so by the soldier and the public for refreshing its disastrously ensanguined hue in the unfortunate fields near Zugarramurdi. Nor are dark threats and proclama tions of vengeance and re-actions a means of disarming opposition and smoothing obstacles. lnfatuand to risk so good so great a cause so slightly, to dare to wave the sword of retribution, and to shake the chains of a dun geon at the head of his paltry hundred in the face of the expectant millions of Spain. But 1 forbear; a just in dignation would not permit me to say less; the more so when I ►ee men occupied in justifying the case with all the energy of a miserable party spirit. An honest journal of the departments has exclaimed that Valdez ought to have been instantaneously taken am d shot by Mina, for compro mising the general weal; I would say, let him honourably wipe out the misdeed in the blood of the common foe on the field of action. You will have read the proclamation of Aline on enter ing Spain ; how nobly dies it contrast with the puny ap peal and pretentious presumption of that of Valdez. It is a document worthy of the occasion—worthy the nation to whom it loftily appeals, whose confidence it invites and commands together. If I mistake not, it will receive the applause of all Europe, but, above all, of England. 'flie Sovereigns will find no wild crusades proclaimed; the people are invited with no prospects of anarchy, confu sion, and pillage. Vengeance and re-actions are disavowed with the accent of truth ; and the Sovereign himself, if he be yet at the eleventh hour wise, may safely repose in the obvious good faith of the words of Mina. I had written thus far when letters from Bayonne, to the date of the 18th, were communicated to me by dif fevnt individuals, I grieve to find from them no con firniation of Valdez's acknowledgment of Mina, but rather reason to stippore the contrary. I will only say that it ought, in such a case, to be no longer a question of tole. rating such an anomaly destructive of the common cause. I must join the French Journalist; let the agitator, the intriguer, who is probably after all a concealed traitor, working in concert with Ferdinand, be at once punished with the utmost severity of military law. There is no safety for the Constitutionalists short of this. Quiroga has at rived at Bayonne, and proceeds without delay to join Mina. I bear that other officers are putting themselves in route from this city, where I shall expect shortly net to find one remaining. I should be sorry if it were otherwise. Dr. Alinano, the friend and partner of Aguado, has been at Bayonne for some time, despatching day Intelligence to the Captain-General of Guipuzcoa, the Governors of Pamplona and fit. Sebastian, anti the Court of Madrid, of the movements of the refugees. The boasting and iodination. of Valdez and his partizans, af forded him ample gratification; but he would find it im possible to penetrate the habitual reserve of Mina. From Perpignan we Lave no intelligence by courier of the entry said, by telegraphic despatch to this Government, to have been effected by the patriot forces in that quarter into Ca talonia. In a day or two we shall doubtless have all par tiehlars. In Paris and France we are without any striking no• veity. All eyes are directed to the approaching trials, and all tongues canvassing the approaching changes in the Mi nistry. A few evenings ago 1 attended a meeting of the Socikt; n ann ie s) d e st a iisque Unieerselle, relatively to which a few particulars cannot be uninteresting to the public. 'lbis Society owes its foundation to a man well known and sieeerveilly appreciated in England where he was several wears resident as Vice-Consul, M. Cresar Moreau, and its objects are of the most useful description, as well as of the afloat advantageous application as well nationally as intli- Aidually. Its peculiar utility to Prance needs not to be painted out, inasmuch as though she is eminently rich in men endowed with all learning and knowledge, there are perhaps some branches of Statistics which may not have been cultivated until latterly with the zeal of which they are deserving, nor carried to the perfection of which they seem susceptible in a country so rich in matter and materials. The manufacturing and agricultural industry and commerce of France have received since the peace so strong an impulse, and have made a pogrom so extraordinary, as necessarily to excite the at tention of all classes, and to call for the increased zeal of the political economist, in order to understand well the ewer, and to appreciate properly the beoeficial conse quenceo of their prosperity, so as most effectually to ad minister to their future best interests. The wars of the republic, and the glories of the empire, had necessarily east these vital interests so far into the shade, that their study became an object of very aecontlery importance— perhaps, I might add, of very unfashionable aecount. M. Moreau lots therefore opened a vast and an honour. able career to the rodent spirit of enterprise and informa tion which so erniunetly distinguishes his countrymen. II h a h a d d one no moo than establish this Societal de Statiaque Universelle as a ettaint of centralization for the knowledge and talent of Frame, he would have effected it great benefit, but the objects of tiler honorable Associa- Aim are not so eircumscribed ; they embrace the learning anal invite the co-operation of the learned men of ail &race, Although not yet a year old it dates from the 22d Nov.

It is pleasing to find, in despite of the neglect of a Ministry, a patriotic man thus worthily dispose of his time and fortune. L. - - - FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Messuger des Chambres of Sunday.) AFFAIRS OF THE PYRENEES. PARIS, OCT. 23.—The news spread yesterday and the day before, respecting the former operations commenced by the Spanish refugees, hire been very much at variance with each other, and are be come to-day a subject of controversy between the Journals. The following seems to us to be the true state of affairs up to the 18th ; but first of all we must say a few words on the policy of France with regard to the Spanish refugees. The Spanish Government had been demanding for a fortnight, by repeated notes, the dispersion of the refugees, who were organising themselves on the frontier, incontestably for the purpose of hos tility and invasion. It asked whether it was going to be at peace or war with France, and whether, in recognising the new French Government, it entered into relations with a hostile or friendly or at least a neutral Cabinet. It is evident that our Govern ment, after the neutrality which it observed in the affairs of Belgium, and in view of the interests of the frontiers, of the political advantages and national sympathies that might lead France to risk the chances of war, would not have acted conformably to its honourable principles of non-intervention if it permitted, under its eye and under its auspices, the formation of an army destined to interfere in the in ternal affairs of Spain. Grant that the Government of that country is vicious, despotic, tergiversating, and despised on account of its system of constantly wavering between two factions that are irreconcile able, it is for Spain herself to modify or change it, as has been done in France and Belgium; but France could not embark in a war in which its in terest is not concerned ; and justice and the princi ples or national law relative to the conduct of one Government to another, would not permit France to lend its territory to an invading corps, unless Spain had ors her side maintained on our frontiers a corps of emigrated Curlists, destined to bring civil war into our southern departments. It will therefore be evident to every politician, as well as every impartial mind, that the keeping and maintaining an army of Spanish emigrants in the midst of the notch authorities, placed us in a state of war with a neighbouring Government, which had done nothing to provoke us to it. (This permission grunted to the Spanish refugees to go to the southern department was, that they might be nearer at hand to receive assistance from their families, or to return singly into their own country, but not to authorize them to form themselves into regiments, or an in vading army.) In conformity with these principles, orders having been sent to the French authorities on the frontiers to make the Spaniards return into the interior, the insur gent leaders, Valdez, Vigo, Pablo, and Gurrea, took a step which might at first appear hazardous, and calculated to endanger their cause, but it was the only one they could, under the circumstances. They left the French villages, to proceed to the villages on the Spanish line. There they will not be any more molested by the French authorities ; they will continue to obtain provisions in France ; they will complete their organization ; and if they experience any check, they will have a safe retreat. Such is the true explanation of the movements effected from the 15th to the 19th. The refugees took up some cantonments in some villages of the Pyrenees, but they have not gone farther, and have not even penetrated to Irun. Valdez was on the 14th at Urdex, on the 15th at Zugarramurdi. Mina was on the 19th at Vera, with 500 or 6'oo men. Other Chiefs had occupied various other points with their detachments. It seems ceitain that Valdez had a sanguinary battle at !qua:mm(ll with the Royal troops of the Brigadier Juannito, and that part of his troops re passed the frontier in confusion, but that Valdez coming up in time succeeded in maintaining himself on the Spanish territory. The movement of the refugees is general from Bayonne to Perpignan. They wait in the inacces sible positions which the summits of the Pyrenees afford, till the desertion of the Royal troops, or in surrections in the interior, shall enable them to act on a great scale. The chief obstacle to the success of the refugees is their intestine dissension, their jealousies, and their unbridled pretensions to rank and honours. The proclamation of Valdez represents them less as deliverers than as the conquerors of their country men. After having said that lie will consider as enemies only those who shall appear in arras against the re fugees, he adds the following phrase, which is not calculated to inspire confidence—" The axe of the law alone must stiike the eth e r criminals." W e think that deliverers ought to hold a more concilia tory language. Wo entertain the most sincere wishes for the noble cause of constitutional liberty in the Penin sula. We know how worthy the energetic Spanish nation is of participating in the advance of modern civilization. We should, therefore, deeply regret to Oa the implacable passions, the destructive hatreds of fisetiou, endanger the success of a great people, by furniabioe; ;t.5 oppressors with arguments against liberty. We have to-day' reaelved newts from the fron tier, of which the following is an extract ;-,.,." A letter Lora Perpignan of the 16th gives as follows t-:-- 1 The compoti•iop of the Junta in that city—Don Ferdi nand Milane de I,!epsch, President ; Felice Bobocay Galeeron ; Mariano Crewe; Don Antonio Bogey; Doti Thomas Boset; Curb of ;Altura; and Paul Getters, fitereteri.' o Division £till prevails.

( From the National.) it is TIQW 4e,4 440'114 matter of doubt that the pre cipitated address of the Pire4 , er of Deputies relit- Ave to the abolition of the peneity of. 4e4tb, arid the imprudent eagerness with which the Qoyerprpent greeted that addrese p Wes a fault, and a very great o ne. indeed, such was its gsrvity, that without the devotedness of the National Guard s it might have given rise to the moat fatal consequences; arid the Government itself has given up, of its own accord, at resolution whieh it had provoked and approved, being fully oonvitteed that it would he held out to the applause. of Europe, and boded down to the admi,7 ration of posterity. But, with this conviction at the .battotn of the heart, would it have bran prudent to persist in such a resolution ? No, indeed, for the tranquillity of the Acointry was in danger. The Ministry has therefore ‘4,4pil very wisely, and we sincerely wish that its tardy pratlcAce may have fully done away the fatal effects of its primitive aberrations. The first disorders have been reprea4d) yes, hut it is copye by dint of force than persuasion. The agitation of etip public mind has somewhat subsided iii consequence of thersdjoorinnent of the measure in question; but still distrust exists, acid that alone is a great evil. It will always appear digicult to be lieve that those men who endeavoured to arrest the ordinary course of justice in favour of the Ministers, will not allow the law to proceed against them : — They will always be supposed to conceal some kind of disguises,—some hidden purposes; and their fu ture conduct will seem, though perhaps unjustly, to be inspired by the same principles as those which directed them of late, In fine, every one will be on hie guard against their weakness, and their acts as well us their works will become an object of close and austere criticism. It is said already that in con sequence of the zeal shown by the National Guard against public meetings which were so universally disapproved of, the Ministers have resumed their wonted confidence, and are decided on not allowing the late address to remain without effect. We do not, indeed, give any credit to this report ; but it is not so with the public, and this evinces the prevail s ing spirit of distrust and suspicion. As for the conduct of the Ministers, we have rea son to doubt that truestatesmen would have allowed themselves to be led on to such a measure, the fatal consequences of which might have been duly foreseen and calculated. But even supposing that the calm and apparent impassibility of the people, the example of the Chamber, and exalted ideas of philanthropy, might have led some of the Ministers astray, and furnished an excuse for their imprudence, however great and fatal it might be, yet this imprudence once committed, what ought to have been done ? Why, confess it immediately, without any foolish shame, and declare openly that immediate measures should be taken to prevent its consequences. Then, indeed, your loyally and candour would have lulled suspicion; but instead of that, you have kept a dis dainful silence, and for such a length of time that the agents of the old police have succeeded in de luding some unhappy men, and given rise to disorders. After having thus lost the opportunity of speaking a propos, you have not even spoken with dignity and in such a manner as to silence malevolence. In an article, full of indulgence for themselves, and ad monitions to others, the Ministers have condescended to say, that they may, perhaps, retrieve an unto ward determination; but they take great care'not to take any engagement, they do not perceive that they give rise to the most absurd suspicions, and the most unreasonable anxiety. We shall not, certainly, suppose that the ob scurity of the ministerial explanations were owing 'to a want of perspicacity and ability. No, indeed : the Ministers knew, as well as we do ourselves, that had their explanations been more sincere, the pre servation of older would have been much easier; but they could not bring themselves to condemn their own acts, and to publicly disavow a design which they had thought excellent, and which they have abjured merely because they have been obliged to do so, and they believe they have not been well understood. Let that portion of the Ministry whom we now allude to, and who enjoy great influence in the council, let them deny, if they dare, that such are their true intentions. They are still convinced that it would be noble and glorious to save, even at the expellee of law, the great criminals against whom the people is so greatly incensed ; and yet they pro mise to let the law have its own course. is that the conduct of conscientious men ? Is it proper that it should be said of a Government which ought to command the respect of all France, that it retro grades after having advanced, and that merely be cause it meets with re►istance ? Let those men who have been deceived resign their functions. The King is supposed to have acknowledged the error, and it will be no proof of weakness to embrace ano ther system of politics. The Minister of the Interior has just addressed the following circular to the Prefects of the Depart ments : " PARIS, OCT. 22. " It is possible, Sir, that incorrect or exagger ated accounts may make a false impression in the departments upon what passed at Paris on the even ing of the 18th inst. It is my wi s h th at y ou s h ou ld be prepared for, and take care to remove unfounded disquietude, if it should arise. What is of import ance to France and its Government is, that on every occasion the whole truth should be known. The greatest publicity and the utmost candour will belie,- forth be the best guarantees for giving confidence to the public mind. However afflicting the seem which have taken place may have been to well-dis posed citizens, their final issue ought to inspire con fidence in the future, and proves that public order cannot be long and seriously disturbed. lf, indeed, criminal manaiuvres have been ab!e to take advan tage of the commotion which always exists after even a pure and glorious revolution,—if blind pre tensions and disorderly passions have attempted to obtain their ends,—if the partisans of the fallen dynasty have flattered themselves with the hope of turning this occasion to the account of their evil de signs; on the other hand, the agitators of every class must have been convinced of their weakness, anti the vanity of their hopes. They were thwarted at the first outset by the ardour and firmness of the National Guard. They found it vigilant and cou rageous in the defence of public order, inaccessible to their suggestions, proud of and worthy of the confidence of the King and the country. Its action surmounted without difficulty all idea of resistance. Not a drop of blood was shed, net a blow was struck. The brotherly love which should unite all classes of society did not cease to prevail among them. The National Guard displayed its strength, and is only the more popular on that account. Thus disappointed, similar attempts sully and unite more closely all well.disposed persons, both those who possess property, and those who work. They always readily agree in measures to repel dangerous counsels, ambitious intrigue , , or hostile plots. They rally from all sides round the King, te whom this event has afforded fresh opportunity of dispitying the steadiness of his character, anti the sincerity of his patriotic sentiments. His presence and his words were received with the most lively transports of affection and confidence. A new bond has been formed between him and the people. Tranquillize, therefore, the minds of all, Sir, if they have been alarmed. Nuthiug menaces either the King or the Charter ; nothing threatens either the course of justice or the public peace. The disturbers have already been prosecuted, and will be punished in conformity to the laws they have transgreiied.

(From the Constitutionnel of Sunday.) The subject of a modification of the Ministry to a considerable extent is now spoken of more than ever. This modification is every where believed to b e indisiwnsible, even by the two factions of the Cabinet itself. Nothing, loweVer, is yet resolved on. The determination is, in fact most deli ate and moat important. With the Cabinet the system also must be changed. The problem to be solved is to find men at once popular and able to be placed at the head of affair's. Fifteen years of counter-revo lutionary administration have made the solution suf ficiently difficult. That capacity which is seldom found in the absence of experience, has been too much abandoned to the system which is overthrown, and shares the reprobation it has incurred so de servedly. There are, doubtless, able men who are also true patriots; but their administrative talent has had no means of showing itself. This is what is repeated and believed in more than one salon of the capital. It appears to us, that in this embarrassment the best remedy is to be guided by public opinion. First of all, it is necessary to obtain and secure public confidence. We have no want of honest and active citizens. Such are the men which the country needs. Under the impulse and the guarantee of these great names, men of action may be assembled, versed in the knowledge of all the details of busi ness. In either class we are not so poor as has been pretended. Although nearly fixed as to the necessity of some change in the Cabinet, but uncertain as to the choice of the Members, there appears to be something like unanimity as to certain individuals. Those of Du pont de l'Eure and Lafitte continue to be mentioned in preference to every other. The latter decidedly refuses the portfolio of the finance department; on the other hand, Baron Louis declares that he will not remain in the Ministry on any terms. We shall wait for the designation of individuals a little more positively than they have yet been named, before presenting our readers with one of those lists which are prepared to-day to be destroyed to-morrow. The only point which is not doubtful is that of a new choice on the part of the Crown from the opi- nions of the cote gauche. It remains to be seen whether it will be taken from the centre, or nearer the extreme. In the finance department the Committee ap pointed to distribute the 30,000,000 has decided unanimously that the printing and bookselling trades shall receive the necessary funds for restoring their credit, and a productive activity to their labours. In the Department of Foreign Affairs, Gallotti has been reclaimed, and the recall of M. Casteliccala will doubtless be obtained. The Ministry is zeal ously occupied with the recognition of South Ame rica. Several frigates have been required from the Department of the Marine, to support the claims of French commerce at Chili, Mexico, &c. &c. There is even a project on the Lapis for the diminution of the budget. We are not ungrateful for good when it comes, although it should be something of the latest. As to the interior, a single point seems to predominate. It is the abominable conduct of the Prefect of the Seine! Compared with his offence, the accusation of the Ex-Ministers is a mere baga telle ! He has scarcely thought of inquiring where the great capitalist resides wh o suppli es t h e c i v il li s t of the Regency Carlist, and who distributes funds to the disturbers of the public peace. Nor does he seem to attach any importance to the discovery of the conspiracy by which the Wahl Royal was to be carried by a coup-de-main, nor to the finding out with due accuracy why the valet of a certain digni tary is so taken with the travelling mania that he does nothing but run between Germany and France, and France and Germany. Your true conspirators in the eyes of a certain class are at the Hotel de Ville, and not at all at the Chancery ! (From the Journal des Debuts of Sunday.) There are some people who imagine that the evils which now ufflict us are chiefly caused by the man ner in which the Chamber and the Ministry are composed. If the Chamber were dissolved, and the Ministry renewed, all would be completed, or at least in a train towards completion ! As to the dissolution of the Chamber, however inopportune and.unreasonuble its itself we may think it, and how ever little it be calculated to restore the good order and public confidence which it has always a tendency to shape, even in ordinary times, bow, it may be staked, will it advance the parties who cull for it so loudly ? It will not be enough to dissolve one Chamber, you must also prevent it from returning, unless you wish to find yourselves in the very situa tion of Charles X., between the shame of yielding, to which parties do not submit with a better grace than despots, and actual violence. What is it that we daily hear, doubtless in good faith ? That the proKinces are far behind the metropolis,—that the spirit of moderation is there pushed to extremes, — and that there is no great good to be expected from partial re-elections? What can this mean, if it be not that in case of u general election the Chamber would be returned very nearly what it now is ? To prevent such a result, are the provinces to be agitated by the fury of the clubs, and the citizens to be excited against each other ? That would be to set the four corners of the kingdom on fire, and would, after all, be fruitless. If you dissolve the Chamber, it will be en pure perle The Chamber will survive it, because it is the expression of the true opinion of the country,— whether good or bad is of little consequence to our present argument. Our new monarchy is us yet too young to with stand such dangers. It would run the risk of perishing. We have behind us, and those by whom we are attacked have behind them, a class of men who are fur from thinking that the Charter of 1830 is a ddinitive measure. They would undermine and ruin it as far as they are able. They would do the same to the Chamber, not for what it has omitted to do, but for what it has accomplished in framing the Charter. To yield to them once is to pledge ourselves to yield a second time. To-day it is the turn of the Chamber, to-morrow it will he that of the Charter. They wish only to bury the workman under the ruins of his work. Order and disorder are now trying their strength. Hitherto order has beets uppermost ; but disorder is not dis couraged. If order yields, order will perish. Suffer our young monarchy and our Charter to be strengthened and consolidated. Let the elm meter of the revolution of 1830 be fixed and esta blished; for that, after all, is the true question at issue. Let it be distinctly settled that the object of this revolution has been the reform, and not the overthrow of the constitutional monarchy,--the con solidation, and not the destruction, of our laws and institutions. Allow a reasonable period to sanction this principle and to make it an incontestable truth, and let us accustom ourselves to invoke the Charter of 1830 us we formerly did the Charter of Louis XVIII. The dissolution of the Chamber will then b e w i t hout danger, because it will not and cannot be the dissolution of the Goveremerit. REDUCTIONS ON THE CHARGE OF COLLECTING THE REVENUE. Govt rnnter.t are exerting themselves as much as pos sible to reduce the expenditure in the collection of the Revenue. The Postmaster-General, with Sir Francis Freeling, have for some time past had before them plans for a more economical mode of transacting the business of the post-office. A new plan for delivering the foreign mails has been partially adopted, the letters by which are not 4s heretofore to be despatched by special carriers, but by the WriOnia delivorins.thq inland letters when it is possible to do so.

(From the Messager des Charnbres of Monday.) At eleven o'clock yesterday the King presided at a Council of the 'Ministers. At one his Majesty received his Excellency the Spanish Ambassador, who had the honour of presenting his cre dentials. He was introduced by the Minister for Foreign Affairs. At the pressing solicitation of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the unfortunate Galliotti has just been given up to the French Government. The C ►mmission charged with the distribution of the thirty millions in aid of commerce continues its labours. It is but justice to state that it neglects no means of ob taining every advantage from so delicate a measure, and upon the utility of which some wise heads still entertain doubts. After having relieved several large establishments involved to a great extent, we understand that the efforts of the Commission are directed at the present moment to the assistance of what is termed the minor commercial interest (le petit commerce), and that it is devising the means of discounting a certain number of bills of small amount. We have no doubt but these exertions will have a good result, the persons who usually employ their ca pital in discounting will regain confidence, when they see that the Government does not disdain their interests. The Commission having examined the wants of these two branches of commerce, will then extend its attention to an intermediate quarter. Letters from Toulon of the 16th of October, bring in• tulligence that the brig La Surprise had arrived from Nav,trin. The State frigate (La Constance) from Alex- andria, and the schooner (La Lamproi) from M irseilles. The affair of M. Kergorlay has been submitted to M. Portalie, the Juge d'lnbtruction. The loyalty and inde pendence of this Magistrate afford that guarantee which we ought to require from all our other Magistrates. -- Courier des Tribunaux. The Duchess of Goutsut, the governess of the Duchess de Berri's children, returned to Paris yesterday. It is the general opinion that, as soon as she has arranged some private affairs here, she will set out for Edinburgh to join the family of the Ex-Monarch, Charles X. (From the Courrier Francais.) MADRID, OCT. 14. The King lus addressed the following Royal Decree to the Minister of Justice " My will is, that the honours granted to the Prince of the Asturias shall also be granted to my beloved daughter, Donna Maria Elizabeth Louisa, as she is my heir and legitimate successor to my Crown, as long as God does not give me male descendants.

" News o.om Bayonne gives a very satisfactory explanation of the rumours which have been circulated relative to the defeat of Valdez. It is now certain that he has not been defeated, and whil,t he was supposed to be routed, he was taking up the position which he had occupied at his very first attack. The reinforc e ments sent to him by General Mina enabled him to proceed, and we sh ill soon have in telligence of some important success. Already a telegra phic despatch of the 22d announces that on the 21st Mina entered Vera with 400 men, and hal advanced be yond Losaca. Some Royal Carabineers had joined him, and it was generally supposed that he was marching to Tolosa. Extract of a private letter from Paris, dated Sunday night : I have this moment beard that the Council is sitting here for a change of Ministry; it is, therefore highly pro bable that the ordinance will be published in the Moniteur of to-morrow. The letters we receive from Molines state that a tree of liberty had been planted in the Place Royale. At Molines the greatest excitement prevailed, and the people were in entire possession of the place. All the streets had been unpaved, and barricades erected at every point. Various Outrages had been committed, and some symptoms of a wish had been shown by the people to burn the houses of some of the obnoxious functionaries. On its being made known to them, however, that the neigh bouring houses would inevitably suffer from the conflagra tion, this plan was abandoned, and the consequent mischief prevented." (From the Private Correspondence of the Morn. Herald.) PARIS, oar. 23. The friends of General Mina received last night an ex press from Bayonne, bringing, together wiili the account of his entry into Spain, already known by a telegraphic despatch, the proclamation, issued by him and El Pastor. Mina was accompanied by a detachment of cavalry, almost composed of superior officers, amounting to 100, and fol lowed by about 500 well armed men. It is known by telegraph that, up to the 21st, none of the chiefs had re entered France. Valdez has had serious engagements with the Royal troops, and though the latter were timely reinforced, Val dez had kept his station. Some of his men approached the French frontiers to secure two pieces of cannon, which incumbered their movements, hut finding themselves on the point of being disarmed by the French authorities, they re-entered Spain, and joined coldly. We are anxiously waiting for the telegraphic despatch of to-day. The 'Ministers behave themselves exceedingly bad in Spanish affairs.

SPAIN. The following is the Manifesto which has been issued by Mina upon crossing the Spanish frontier:— SPANIARDS ! - The time is now arrived for us to show ourselves to the world with that dignity and nobleness cha racteristic of our nation. . 4 Blotted, in the year 1523, the laurels gained in the war of independence, and trampled upon all our rights, since that time, and in a heap, have fallen upon the nation misfortunes, persecutions, death ; the Spaniards being go• verned by caprice, unrestrained avarice, always arbitrarily, sometimes mildly. " We bring to recollection these evils only for the pus. pose of putting an end to them, uniting the sons of so un fortunate a country with a fraternal and indissoluble bond. " Experience has taught some that the leaving the fate of a people to the sole and free will of those who govern gives occasion to outrages without measure and irreparable acts of injustice; and to others, that the desire of widen ing excessively privileges and public liberty, brings with it disorder—the first cause, or, at least, pretext for despotism. " France has just set us an example, traced in a former age by England, of the mode of preventing the destruction of nur liberties—defending them with heroic valour and admirable moderation. Let its imitate in this these distinguished nations. " Let us imitate them also in the institutions by which they are governed ; according to which, placing ourselves in harmony with them, and with the other constitutional countries of Europe, we shall establish the two greet founda tion* of the prosperity of States, liberty and order. " The Spanish nation, assembled by means of its repre sentatives, and taught by the lessons of experience, will adopt, doubtless a free Government, in which will be as sured no less the rights of all Spaniards than the preroga tives of the Crown. " The nation, with well-adapted and just providence., will open the fountains of public wealth, at present so much obstructed; will terminate the disputes with America, yielding to what time and circumstances have rendered in dispensable; and, finally, bringing to a close the frightful wasting of the public resources, and the frauds introduced in the national credit, will cause the debt and former con tracts to be respected and religiously fulfilled, and which, with great scandal, were disowned and annulled. " To the nation, then, assembled in Corks, it belongs to discoss an 4 resolve iinon Matters so important. My present proposition confines itseV now only to the animat ing Spaniards, to the end that they may all agre'e in seek ing so sacre4 an object, an 4 in accelerating the coming of tio 'happy a day. Numerous others t my potiwa4es, all with one abrord, and parting from the same centre, will operate on divers points of the Peninsula ; and, unanimous, we shall welcome in a most friendly manner those who join our banners, or co-operate in the sacred cause of liberty, forgetting former proceedings and all party distinctions. For those only who oppose us, or who fail us for the future, we shall establish prompt and severe justice. " pur device is ' pblivion of the past; !mion, liberty, and order, far the • '• " giyen at the 'Camp of Ifonotir and Assembly of the tipsniards, this oth of October, 1830. " FRANCISCO ESPOZ Y MINA."
