FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

PARIS, OCldtEtt 13.—We read in the Janrnal
of Toulouse of the 7th, the following article :
" The details Which we shall give on Catalonia
are drawn from authentic sources: They will in-.
form our subscribers of the real state of that pro- .
vince up to th:e:departure of the last courier.
"The fort and town of Figueras are still occu-
pied by the Constitutional troops. The reports
spread as to the taking of Tarragona are as false
as those of the blockade of Lerida, and of a
victory gained on the 9.2 d by the Baron D'Eroles
over Mina. On that very day the former was at
Urge], where he received the congratulations of
the regency on the result of the affair of the 18th
against 'fabuenca ; he then went to Puycerda
with an escort of 20 men, visited the positions,
went as far as Martinet, and returned .precipi-
tately to Urgel, in consequence of a dispatch from
the Regency he was still thereon .theist inst.
Belver, at three leagues from Puycerda, and six
leagues from the sea; is only. occupied by the
inhabitants,., as well as that part of Spanish

Cerdagna. •
" The Royalists who were at Figueras are
gone to join Misas at'Olot. .Before their de-
parture, they levied a contribution of 6 or 700
quadruples on that part of the Lampourdan. All
the divisions of the army of the Faith marched
on Salsona, to cover Urgel, and wait for Mina in
a firm attitude. They occupy positions which
nature has made formidable, and which art and
engineering will render impregnable.—Great
events are expected."
The following are the operations of Mina from
the 3d •of September, the day of his arrival in
this place :
" The 10th he publishe,d the well known pro-
clamation ; the 11th and 12th, he was occupied
in organizing at Lerida the first division of his
army, and gave the command of it provisionally
to General Torrijos.
" The 13th, he marched with this General and
• his division, and at the night-fall arrived at
Bellpuig. The next day, at two in the morning,
in the design of surprising the besiegers of the
fort of the University, he went towards Cervera
with•all the Chasseur companies of the army, the
Miquelets of tarlos, Cardenas, and Carnarasa,
and 75 horse of the Prince, leaving at Bellpuig
General Torrijos, that he might follow the move-
ment with the rest of the troops, at three o'clock
on the morning of the 14th, which was executed.
' " An . advanced post of the Royalists, at a
league and a quarter from Cervera, was informed
of the march of this column. This post, after
'having fired a round, fled in the darkness to
warn the besiegers. Mina then began to prepare
.for an attack, advancing guerillas of infantry and
•cavalry to discover the position of the Royalists.
.At half-past five, he was before Cervera, but o❑
entering the town he saw that not only the troops
of the Faith had abandoned it to go to the Fort
of St. Ramon, but also that the inhabitants had
de-serted their dwellings' in the fear of a new
pillage.
" Mina encamped his troops, issued an order
• for the return of the inhabitants to their houses,
prescribing the most severe discipline to the
troops, particularly to respect property. He
•then ordered General Torrijos to leave at Tarrega
the regiment of Ferdinand VII. and all the
cavalry, and to bring the rest of the infantry to
join him.
" The inhabitants returned to their homes
after they were informed of the precautions taken,
and. Gen. Torrijos entered Cervera about eleven
~the same day, the 14th, The evening Mina was
- informed that Fort St. Ramon, distant two leagues
. from the town, was abandoned.
•" .After having changed and increased the
.-garrison of the fort, and having provisioned it by
means of communication with the troops of Ter-
rega, he left the town the 21st with Gen.Torrijos.
••• The 24th he ,was at Calaf.
" There Mina has published a new Proclama-
tion, in which he exhorts the inhabitants of Cata-
lonia to return to their homes, and announces
that he will suspend his operations till the 28th.
On the 29th they will begin again. It is not yet
:known whether a great number have profited by
this amnesty.
" Colonel Costa, scarcely restored to liberty,
has organised at Barcelona five or six battalions
of communeros, and it was stated in that City
on the 28th ult. that they were, going to march
to join Milaus, who manoeuvres on the right of
Mina.
"lViosen Anton on the 24th attacked with
• 1600 men the fort of La Piedal, and the Capu-
chin Convent of Areuys del Mar. Rifle firing
• - was .kept up for three hours. The Artillery
-firing • was directed by Brigadier Manso, who
was by chance on his passage through the town.
Mosen Anton, informed by trusty persons of the
_•advance of a party of militia, withdrew into the
-• mountains."-,—(Moniteur.)
This intelligence, which contradicts the pre-.
tended victory of the Army of Faith, is the more
•.entitled to belief, because the .Echo du Midi, the
• other Toulouse Journal, of the same date, Which
first announced those advantages, says not a syl-
. . fable respecting them in its number of the 7th.—
(Journal de Path.)
The Journal de Paris totally discredits a story
. mentioned in the Echo du Midi of a French ..Ge-
neral Officer having joined the Spanish Regency
at Urgel, and also the report in circulation at
. Bayonne, that Cadiz had declared itself inde-
, .pendent, and was protected by a formidable fleet.
• Every day (says the' Veridique of Montpelier)
we see a great quantity of .caissons, waggons and
ammunition pass to the frontier, it is said from
• the arsAspal of .Toulouse,---L(Consilutionnel.)
;Wittlin feW days detachments of Horse
Gend'armerieStdie arrived, which.are to be em-
ployed for the Police and•the correspondence of
the Corps. of Observation.—(lbid.)
