AFFAIRS IN SPAIN.

FRONTIER/ 07 SPAIN. Dee. 2.—Torrijos has
begun his operations ou this point ; the bonds in this
neighbourhood are not in a condition to resist him,
less however by their numbers than by the destitu-
tution in which they are, and the discouragement
which springs from it.
O'Donnell is in Navarre, with 400 men, Santos
Ladron and other chiefs hardly recognise his autho-
rity.

According to a convention concluded between
Gen. d'Autichanap and Gen. O'Donnell, the latter
is bound to send back into France all military de-
serters, who pass over to the Army of the Faith.
General d'Autichamp, it is said, has authorised
O'Donnell to assure such deserters of full pardon,
provided they return forthwith.
Adviecs from Portugal state, that the province of
Braga has spontaneously revolted against the consti-
tutional authorities, and that numbers have rallied
under the insurrectionary standard. This revolt,
may very possibly change the disposition of that
count,— towards Spain; but its more immediate ef-
fect will be to free the Spanish royalists in Gallicia
frorr an • fears of the Portuguese troops, who must
shor ly b.: marched to another quarter.
C.iief Beasieres, Colonel of the Army of the
Faith, nominated by Baron d'Erolles, Governor
Commandant of Mequinensa, has arrived in that
fortress, whieh is well provided, and will long hold
out against the constitutionalists. Velasco is .harged
to lay siege to it, but lie is ill prepared to fulfil his
instructions.
PERPIGNAN. DEC. ta.—lt is Armed that the
Regency rested last night at Prades, and that it will
arrive here to-morrow.

Seventy horses, fur re-mounting the artillery, have
arrived to-day.
A letter from Bayonne, dated the sth inst. states,
Military stores continue to arrive here. Two
large boats, from Monte de Marsan, bringing,
amongst other things, barrels of lint and old linen,
tOr surgical dressings, came in yesterday.. We know
not what to think of these preparations, when must
of our public journals speak of peace."
General Mina has entered Puycerda with
of his army, amounting to 6,000; ?lumber
of Spanish refugees, soldiers, priests; monks, and in-
habitants of Catalonia, whom thw•march of Mina has
forced towards the sources ut;the Legre, is said to be
live thousand. The Soldiers of the Faith abandoned
Puycerda, after a short resistance.
The troops of Mina have posted themselves on the
right bank of the Ur, which separates France frotn
bpain at Bourg Madame—our troops ate on the left
bank. The constitutional troops piled their arms,
and after having reposed tor some time, they then
defiled over the bridge of Llivia in the best order
told appearance. Mina was himself at Llivia, and
after leaving a detachment there, returned to Puy-
coda. _ _

The greatest tranquillity prevails in Cerdagne.
Spanisht.Certlagne is wholly constitutional, not one
of its inhabitants is in the Army of the: Faith. On
the approach of Mina all the youths went to join
hint.

Lieut.-Gen. Curial arrives to-morrow ; horses are
gone to carry him
Six thousand rations of bread have been sent from
Perpignan for llle, where the first column of the
Army of the Faith was to arrive to-day; to-morrow
us many rations will be scut to Thuir, where the
column will then be.
Many monks and priests constantly arrive. A
committee is fOrlllea to give them assistance ; it is
said that each ecclesiastic receives 50 francs per
month, and SO cents per league to those who are
scut to the interior. . .

DEC. 4 —Tile advanced guard of Mina arriving
in the environs of l'oycertla, 25 of his cavalry put to
the rout the whole Army of the Faith ; some de-
t4chtnents dispersed through the Spanish territory
