EN-lIM4RATION OF THE INSURGENTS IN

CATALONIA.

The number of the insurgents in Catalonia is between 8 and
9,000 men, di' ided into two principal bands :
The first of 4,500 or 5,000 men is commanded in chief by
Musen Benet, called Tristany, canon ; Llarch de Copons,
muleteer ; Boquier, smuggler ; Caballeria, student ; then El
Estudiante Gruan, a mysterious personage, whose real
namels not lt.n own. _ _ _

The second of 3;500 or 4,000 men, is under the command
of Torres, ex- officer of the Royal Guard ; Ros de Eroles,
muleteer ; OTtian, arich landowner ; Borges, ex-sub-lieute-
nant of the 1110 zos de Escuadra ; and Carriescoas, muleteer.
These two bands often divide into small parties, threaten
several places .at once, and cause their numbers to be consi-
dered as more considerable. There are other chiefs, but they
arc not in the, :field ; they are members of the several Juntas.
A letter fvol n Tortola says, that Col. Manuel Sebastian,
commanding one of the brigades of Catalonia, has defeated the
Carlist chief, 'Torres, in the district of Tatam. The action
was warm at la st ; Torres, who had 2,000 men, lost 250 killed
and wounded.. One hundred Carlists, with their arms, sub-
mitted to Col!. Sebastian.

Frankfort Papers of Wednesday's date have been
received. %\ Te extract from them the following impor-

twit article :

(From the Isar, May 4.)
When the pt udent and far-sighted Government of Austria
reduces its milli .ary establishment, it may be confidently as-

slimed that the general peace is in no danger, and it redounds
to the eternal honour of the great Statesman who is at the
head of the Cabinet of Vienna, that he has surprised, not
only Germany, but all Europe with this confidence. By the
approaching evacuation of Silistria, the oriental question is
amicably settled in one of its main points, and what remains
depends rather on the special relations between Prussia and
England, which, however warlike the speeches in Parliament
may sound, will undoubtedly not have recourse to arms, ex-
cept in case of extreme necessity, and even then the war
would hardly become general. Spain does not disturb the
peace of Europe, and is left to itself, for it is well understood
that the real difference between intervention and co-operation
is, that the latter method exposes the auxiliary powers to all
kinds of embarrassments. The conciliatory policy of France,
which is answered by the approximation of the other Conti-
nental Cabinets, is an essential support of peace. The jour-
ney of the French Princes, who, on their return from Vi-
enna will pass through Munich, will tend (as it is stated
on goDd authority) to a closer connection. What chiefly in-
terests Southern Germany is the relieving of the navigation
of the Danube from all impediments at the mouth of that Ri-
ver ; for the intercourse between the Black Sea and the At-
lantic and, German Oceans, is that the condition of the future
commercial importance of our country. We must observe,
that there is no official proof whatever that Russia (as ac-
counts from England state) is preparing at the mouth of the
Danube, a yoke under which the trade of the Continent must
bend. Accounts from Vienna affirm, on the contrary, that
there is every prospect that Russia will give its assent to a
convention which shall permanently establish a favourable
system for the trade of the Danube with the united guarantee
of several of the Great Powers. The differences between
Belgium and Holland, too, will be speedily arranged. Every
where the conviction is gaining ground, that the time of revo-
lutions is past since the road of Reform has been entered on,
and the Government have taken the lead to protect the politi-
cal body from the stagnating and antiquated abuses, as well as
from precipitate and inconsiderate innovation.
, Thus we may hope that the great work of peace is com-
, pleted, which alone can bring about the perfect development of
the national prosperity.
