BAYONNE, SEPT. 29.—The mail from Madrid
has not yet arrived, and we cannot therefore state
any thing new from that city. We can, however,
`confirm the entire route'of .all the Defenders of
the Faith in the three provinces of .Biscay, who
must have lost all hope of ever rallying again,
for the Constitutionalists pursue even their scat-
tered remains.
The Journals of Toulouse had given an account of a victory
gained by Baron d'Eroles, General-in.-Chief of the Army of
the Faith, over the, Division of Tabuenca, about 4,000 strong,
between the bridge of Montagnana and Benavarre, that is to
say, on the frontiers of Catalonia and Arragon, on the 18th.
It is to be observed that these same Journals state that Baron
d'Eioles was 'on the 11th at Sora, which he had left precipi-
tately to go to the Sco d'Frgel, Whither a division of the Con-.
stitutional troops of .1,200 men was advancing by way of Ta-
lame. This defeat of the pretended division of Tabuenca must
necessarily be a forgery, or an exaggeration of the agents of
the Defenders of the Faith, for COl. Tabuenca never had above
1,01)0 men under his command. However, great publicity has
been given to this news, of which no mention is made in the
letters from Pampeluna. The following is the account given
by the Defenders of the Faith, at iraty, or probably these 'at
Bayonne, in a printed bulletin which they have circulated :
" By the last official despatches received from the Regency
at the Seo d'Urgel, we have learnt officially, several victories'
gained by the armies of the King over the enemies of the coun-
try, whose endeavours will always be defeated, wherever they
shall present themselves. The affair of Benavarre on the 18th
of this month, which was so glorious for the Defenders of the
Faith, will be memorable for all good Spaniards. Five hun-
dred killed, 81)0 prisoners, amongst whom is• Colonel Tabuenca,
two standards, an immense quantity of baggage, arms, and
ammunition, were the fruits of this day, which must animate
the friends of the King and Religion, who would remain pas-
sive in this struggle.
" But this is not the only advantage we have in our favour ;
for all the Royalists in. Europe take a lively interest in our snc-
cess. The Monarchs of the Holy Alliance are on the point of
meeting in Congress at Verona ; the great Alexander arrived
at Vienna on the 7th of this month, and every thing makes us
hope for powerful aid from the august allies, who will no
longer suffer our dear country to be governed by an anar-
chical andiambitious faction. The repose of Europe demands
that it should be so. • _ _ _ _ _ _

" Brave Navarese ! rally then round the Standards of the
Faith and of the Monarch, and let us redouble our efforts to
expel from our fine country those wretches who threaten to
cover it with mourning and blood.
" Iraty, Sept. 24. (Signed) " CABRA."
We say that this account has probably been circulated by
the Secret Committee at Bayonne, and this is the most probable,
for General Espinosa closely blockades Iraty, which would be
already in his hands if he had not been obliged to detach Co-
lonels Tabuenca and Asuca to Arragon. Travellers from
Spain concur in stating the interior to be tranquil, and in de-
scribing the extraordinary enthusiasm for the new system shewn
by the respectable part of the nation.
It appears that great hopes are entertained of the Expedition
of General Mina, whose first movements will be towards the
Seo d'Urgel, %rich, and Barcelona. •
[From the Constitutionnel.]
PEeho du Midi, of September 27, announces a pretended
battle between the onstitutional Army, commanded by Mina,
and the Royalists under the Baron d'Eroles, who was dismissed
by Ferdinand. It even pretends that Te Deurn was sung at
Urgel, on the 20th, for the complete victory gained by the
Royalists on the 16th. The other Journal of Toulouse also
speaks of an engagement, but according to it Mina did not
command.

Referring to dates, it is easy to see that this is one of the
many reports which, though sure to be denied on the morrow,
are always nevertheless readily published by certain Journals.

" OFFICIAL ACCOUNTS OF THE PROGRESS OF THE CON-
TEST IN CATALONA AND NAVARRE.

" General Milans has addressed the following Report to the
Captain General of Catalonia, dated Penida, 15th September.

'' With as much satisfaction as maybe allnwed me, after hav-
ing shed so much Spanish blood, I have to announce to your
Excellency, that this morning I surprised 300 factious at this
place. Forty-seven prisoners have been taken, and about 20
have thrown themselves into the tower c f the Church, which I
have blockaded. All the rest have been either killed or
drowned in the sea. Amongst those in the tower are the
chiefs Cuti and Nas. I am preparing means to force those in
the tower to surrender. The object of these misguided men
was to carry off a convoy,,which I had commanded to march by
the sea-shore, under the protection of the battalion of cordova,

whilst I mal'Phed by St. Peloni and Hostalrich. Having
learnt that they were reinforcing themselves to attack the con-
voy, I made a bold and rapid march of 11 hours, and at the
moment when they least expected it I fell upon them. They
were supported by 300 men, whom 1 soon perceived upon the
heights of Penida. A t eight o'clock in the morning I attacked
anti defeated them, kilted seven men, and wounded several
others. I halted the convoy at Calella until the men in the
Church tower surrendered."

PiGut:us.s, SEPT. 23.—An Express which arrived this
morning states that there area great number of dead on the
bridge of Sarrea. It is added that the cavalry of Riego repulsed
the besiegers, but that he was subsequently obliged to retire.
Misas, with 1,500 men, entered Calello on the 13th. The
garrison made a sortie, and a battle took place at Vilalenin. At
first the Royalists obliged the Constitutionalists to retire ; but
a chosen column under the command of Puyvali, together with
the artillery of the battery, compelled the Royalists to rbtreat.
—The miliatia are represented to have performed prodigies of
valour. , ,

Misas has been required to proceed to Seo d'Urgel.
Engagments have taken place at the very gates of Girona
every day since the 20th. There are 400 Royalists at Sarrea.
The Constitutionalists, to the amount of 800, made a sortie,
but the result is unknown.

BARCELONA, SEPT. 17.—0 n the 10th Gen, Rotten had pre-
pared 'a convoy of provisions for Cardona, which was to depart
on the 11th, at three o'clock in the morning; but, in conse-
quence of some-intelligence, Rotten marched with 2000 men, a
cannon and some cavalry, in the direction of Cardona, leaving
the convoy in' the environs. The Royalists, informed of this,
determined to meet him, and endeavour to carry off the convoy.
They advanced in considerable numbers, and in an instant the
alarm amongst the Constitutionalists became general ; they,
however, succeeded in securing the provisions of the convoy.
'At half-past 10 o'clock we learnt that Baron D'Erolles had
precipitately 'quitted Saura for Sco d'Urgel, upon which place a
column of 1200 men were proceeding by way of Talarn. On
the 12th General Rotten arrived at Cardona at half-past eight
o'clock, without interruption, after a march of 14 hours. The
Royalists abandoned the Camp of Mugal and Bulcegnie, not
being in sufficient force to resist, and concentrated themselves
upon theleights of Serraleix, which they were also obliged to
cede to superior numbers.
Tortosa is closely blockaded on all sides by the- Royalist
troops. This place, which is almost without provisions, cannot
hold out much longer.—The garrison consists of 600 men.
