however, it began to clear and the evening was

LYONS, MAY IL

We expect the arrival here of Marshal Augereetr.
the Duke of Castiglione, who has resigned the
COIIIIIIIIMI of the army of ithalunia, io order to re-
turn to Paris. Hi. successor, Marshal Macdonald,
has by this time probably arrived in Ceram, where
the head-quarters of the 7th corps still are. Gen.
Lacombe St. Michel still holds the situation of Go.
senior of Barcelona, hut sill loon have another
destination. - That city is now is a inure favourable
situation than it was at the beg' g disinter. MI
is quirt in the vicinity ; the armed bands,..ince their
late defeats, have retired to the mountains, and the
communication with theartny in the field has been
perfectly free since the reduction of llostalrich.
The scarcity of provisions, winch was for come time
very severely felt, has of course cease.l. In the be-
ginning °lilac present month, a number of vessels
ft um the south of Fiance arrived safe with a large
supply of +wintry. provisions, and military stores.
The English ve..ets had a short time before with-
drawn to port Mahon, in Minorca, to repair the
damages they sustained in a heavy storm. The
army in Catalouia had, since the (all of Gerona,
limited its operations to frustrating the efforts of
the insurgents against Barcelona, and for the relief
of flostalrieli ; but as the latter place is now is its
hands, and Barcelona ins, be safely left to itself,
it is, by the reinforcements sent to join it, placed
in a situation to co-operate, at least, so far in the
conquest of the provinee of ‘'aleutia, that it has
mkt') post on the northern frontier of that king-
dom, and is actually employed in besieging Tor.
lowa. It is at Ascot formed into six divisions,
namely, three French, one Italian, and two of
the troops of the Rhine. Important &tents
were expected soon after the arrival of Marshal
Nlacdonsld. A considerable corps de reserve
must still be kept in the interior of Catalonia, to
hold in check the insurgents in the mountains,
who in Catalonia make a more obstinate and reso-
lute resistance than in the other parts of Spain.—
Their chief places of remit:sums are between the
Llubregat sod the Ter, and is the mountains an
the north of From Valenti* we have no cer-
tain advice.. It is, however, known, that upon the
appearance of the Fr...tick troop. before th.it place
