SPANISH NEWS.

The contradictory nature of the intelligence published by the
Toulouse.lournals is Ns ell known. We con fine ourselves to copying
them, leaving to our readers the care of extracting the truth :
but the accounts, one with anothei,:prove that discord continues
to pre-Vail in the Army of the Faith, since it appears that the
Royalists are accusing each other of treason and conspiracy,—
( )

The Echo du JThU dives a letter from Urgel, dat6d.the 15th,
which contains the foll Owing statement:— • •

" As I informed you in my last, the Trappist Don Antonio
Maragon arrived here in time to discover a conspiracy which
might have done us serious injury.

" The day after his arrival he visited the fort; he wished to
exercise the artillery in firing. He'found one battery in which
the guns were.chiefly loaded with sand, and others in which the
halls had been put before the •powder. Suspecting some
treachery, lie asked the Commandant of the Fort and the
• Commander of the Artillery to come into the town and assist
him in investigating this affair : but the Commandant, suppos-
ing that he might be compromised, returned into the fort.. The
Trappist presented himself there again, but admission was
refused him. He succeeded, however, in getting in by a stra-
tagem, and, assisted by the faithful Royalists, he arrested and
imprisoned the traitors. He afterwards reviewed the troops of
the garrison, and intrusted.the keys of .this important position.
to Don Barreira,'SecreTaTrir to the Regency; after causing
it to be occupied by.troops which are to be'relied on.
" After this transaCtion,,he left us, it is said, for Navarre.—
I imagine he will go by the,way, of Toulouse, as he is very de-
sirous of again seeing his superiors, and of holding converse for
some few days with his God in the bosom of retirement.
" We understand that Baron .d'Eroles expects to fight a
battle in a few days." -

A private letter, dated Urge!, the 16th, adds what follows :
" The Trappist, who arrived here on Tuesday last, and who
• was supposed to be destined to.command,the plaCe, set out to-
day for Trance. What can be the motive of his departure ?
' This is a question every body asks. 'There is fightiniat this
moment in the Conque de Tremp and the neighbourhood of
Talart, the Baron d'Eroles' country—a circuaPstante which
will doubtless makehim redouble his courage in the defence of
-his Own hearths."
Another letter of the same date says—" Romanillo is t
.the . only traitor it is believed there are a good many more

among the Royal Chiefs. There has even been a plot in the
fort for giving it up to Mina's soldiers. Four pieces of cannon I
were found to be loaded with any thing else than powder.
There is no doubt that if Mina had continued his march on the
9th and 10th by Orgagna, that.,lte would have taken this place
without firing a shot."
FROM Pu YCERDA, Nov, 10.--" We have the Regensyand
Provincial Junta of Catalonia here. The printing establish-
merit and the Editor of the Diario have also arrived. We shall
soon see that journal re-appear, under the title of Diario de
Puycerda. About sixty cavalry, of Romanillo's division have
just entered this place, which is crowded with troops and
strangers. I send you none of the news of the moment—l
should perhaps be obliged to contradict them by the first cou-
rier. The terms of the loan 'made with the house of Ouvrard
of Paris, by the Regency, have been ratified. It is also de-
creed that the money of France shall have a forced currency.
All that is 9ow wanted is, to find subscribers sufficiently confi-
dent to part with their money on guarantees so satisfactory,
and pledges so solid."
Fors, Nov. 20.—" The famous Trappist has passed through
this city on his way front Puycerda to Toulouse. The arrival
of this quondam General in his cassock was a sort of event for
us. All the inhabitants, from different motives, wished to see
the man who has been so preached up by his party. Some,ex-
pected to see a giant, but they were grievously disappointed.—
He was in the Trappist habit, but he carried neither sword nor
pistols, as in the days of his glory. All our devout ladies
kissed his hands, and wished him prosperity. The Trappist
stopped only two hours, during which he visited the Prefect.

" The journey of the Trappist has dismayed all his partisans
They can no-longer doubt the defeat and complete destruction
of the Army of the Faith in Catalonia. They still rested their
hopes on 'Baron d'Eroles ; but in a few hours after, the arrival
at the inn'of his family and baggage, on their way to Toulouse,
was announced.

" We are assured that the Regency is completely dissolved,
and that the army no longer exists. Monks and other person-
ages are every moment arriving from Puycerda. Persons worthy
of credit, who have just come from that town, state that Mina
has so well manoeuvred that he has succeeded in cutting off all
communication between Catalonia and Arragon, and that he
was expected at Urgel on the 21st or 22d of this month. He
can meet with no resistance, for even the troops of the battalion
of the Faith which was left to defend the castle of Urgel, are
said to have disbanded themselves.

" In consequence of these reverses,. the Mayors Andorre
have, it is said, applied to the Prefect of our Department for
six hundred men ; but as he could not take upon himself to
accede to this proposition, it was immediately referred to
Paris." -
Both the Journal de Toulouse and the Echo du Midi an-
nounce the arrival of the Trappist in that city on the 19th. Che
following is the manner in which this intelligence is given by
the latter :

" Don Antonio, better known by the title, of the Trappist,
and whose name will be memorable in the annals of the Spanish
restoration, arrived here yesterday morning. This venerable
Monk has taken up his residence in the house of the Missionary
priests, which several other Trappists have for a considerable
time inhabited. In every place through which he pagsed on his
Way to Toulouse he was received by the authorities and the in-
habitants in the manner due to so zealous a defender of the altar
and the throne."
The same fact is thus stated in the Journal de Toulouse:—
" The Trappist, who 'has played so
.great a part in the late
affairs in Spain, arrived yesterday morning at Toulouse. It is
reported, but without any apparent foundation, that he has
taken. this long circuit for the purpose of passing from Catalonia
into Arragon. Reasoning on this supposition, it may be re-
garded as certain that the communications are cut off. Be this
as it may, the Trappist on his arrival proceeded to, the old
house of the Inquisition, which is now inhabited by the monks
of his order.' 'We probably shall soon learn what are his real
projects and'ulterior destination." . . .
A letter from Perpignan of the 18th inst. brings the following
intelligence :
" An ordinance arrived at one o'clock p. m. from Mont
Louis. Two regiments of the garrison who were exercising
with their knapsacks on, were immediately ordered back to their
barracks. Two hours fter, a battalion of infantry, with some
pieces of artillery, marched for Mont Louis.
' It is said that the ordinance brought to the authorities the
intelligence that Mina had entered Puycerda, from which, half
an hour earlier, the pretended Regency took their departure ;
that a division of the Spanish army had pursued the rebels to
the French territory ; and that Baron d'Eroles was closely
blockaded in the'Seo d'Urgel. •
" This news appears certain ; but we have not yet heard
whether the Regency have taken refuge in Mont Louis,
44 Within these three or four days, monks of all colours have
been arriving here in swarms. ,Itappears that great 'numbers
of them have been arrested in Catalonia, and embarked for.the
Isle of Cabrea.
44 We are now 'provisioning all our strong places for one
year. A person named Senepar is the contractor. The sup-
plies are to, be • completed by the end of the present month.
To-morrow we expect 200 gendarmes to arrive here."—(Jour-
sal du Commerce.)
Yesterday recent letters from Perpignan were 'received at
Paris, which state that the Army of the Faith was flying on all
sides before General Mina, who was pressing close upon Baron
d'Eroles. This intelligence ac cords well with the arrival of
the Trappist at Toulouse.—( Constitutionnel.)
