PERPIGNAN, JULY 10.

A despatch, received to-day, brings news from
Barcelona of the 10th.

The strike continued. The troops were still
in their barracks ; the General had not left the
fort of Atarazanas. The houses of the manu-
facturers, merchants, and National Guards had
been mark,-.3d during the night with different
signs, dou:atless to point them out to the ven-
geance o the people. Meanwhile the artisans
and workmen who had been compelled to suspend
work had i esumed it.

Troops continue to arrive. Those sent from
Madrid were hourly expected. 2

PARIS TIIESDAY EVEMNG:

THE SORTIE OF THE BTH.
The Times Paris correspondent says :—" I yes-
terday transmitted a telegraphic despatch from
General Pelissier announcing a sortie of the Mis-
sions against the Mamelon and other works, and
their repulse ; and another account purporting'
to proceed from Brussels, adding that the loss
of the Russians was considerable. As if every-
thing since the 17th was destined to be a blun-
der, the intelligence thus announced is founded
on a mistake. The error however is not mine,
nor that of the Patrie, which also published it.
It is solely that of General Pelissi er, who actually
did transmit the despatch so I repeated it. The
absence of that important information in the
Moniteur of to-day was generally noticed, and
no one was more surprised than myself at finding
nearly the same unimportant announcement which
has figured for some days past in the more promi-
nent columns of the official organ.. On inquiry I
learned that in the course of the afternoon of yes-
terday a despatch, dated at a later hour than the
one of the Bth I alluded to, was received from
General Pelissier, in which he corrects the error he
had committed, that error consisting in his having
taken a mere demonstration of the Russians for a
sortie. It is true that a good man :ky shots are said
to have been exchanged between the parties, but
nothing occurred that deserved the more imposing
character of a combat. I have no doubt that the
General expected a sortie, and the demonstration
made was taken by him for the commencement of
a general attack. I confess that the explanation I
appears defective, and therefore aof quite satisfac-
tory, but such as it is I give it as received.
The Morning Post correspon dent says :—" I
have little to add to the telegraphic news you re-
ceived last night. It appears i ;he Russians at- ,
tempted to carry some advance d works of the
Allies by a general attack on their lines about ,
the newly conquered ground. The enemy was
repulsed with considerable loss.. The whole
affair was over before midnight on the Bth.
No doubt we shall hear of similar attacks in
which the Russians have indulged throughout
the siege, and always with considerable loss.
Such a useless expenditure of life and ammu-
nition is surely a proof of great :resources, and a
continual supply on the road. Prince Gortschakoff,
knowing he is about to be again attacked, yet makes
a sortie which he could scarcely ox pest to succeed
from past examples, unless, indeed, the Russian
General's late success induced hint to believe the
allies had lost courage. In this, ho waver, he must
have found himself grievously mistaken, for the
enemy was soon beaten back, and with great loss."
The Patric publishes a letter from Kars, of the
17th ult., stating that the Russi anus had lost 120
men in the engagement which took place near that
city on the previous day. The Turks had 13 killed
and 17 wounded.

English non-commissioned officers and soldiers
were seen yesterday walking arm in arm with
French non-commissioned officers and soldiers on
the Boulevards and in the Champs Elysees. They
were invalids of the army in the Crimea, who met
in Paris, comrades of Alma and Inkerman.
The decree for raising the new loan will appear
in this day's Moniteur, and it is Said that Monday
next will be the first day for subscriptions. 65fr.
is spoken of as the figure ; but that of course must
depend on the state of the market at the latest
moment.
