" It is stated that the Baron d'Eroles has
quitted Berga to march to Cardona, the blockade
of which has not yet been formed, and that he
detaches 'a Itoyalist,battalion to be stationed be-
fore la Seu. _ .

" Rotnagosa has fortified the walls of the town.
The troops before that fortress still occupy the
same positions. The Constitutionalists have for-
tified themselves at the village of Castel Ciutat,
:to the rear of the- forts. Some Miquelets have
pleaped from that quarter, where they were eau-
timed, and gone to.the neighbouring mountains,
do doubt to rob passengers.
" Since the arrest of the wives of the militia-
leen, the Commandant of the forts is more re-
served ; the bombs are not fixed in such quart—
ties upon the town.
" Last might 'mg men left-the-forts, taking the
direction of Orgagne. No sooner had Romagosa
been informed of it, than-he detached 400-men
in pursuit of them. The motive of this sortie is
not known, but it is not doubted they will be at-
tacked, and their return to the forts be rendeved
impossible.
" A Captain in the corps of Tarragona, wound-
ed in the affair of the Tath, is dead of his wounds,
in Andorre, at the village of-St. Jouliu, whether
he was conveyed after the action."

PERPIGNAN, JULY 12.—The following Order
of the-Day has been published in the Journal of
this town

ORDER,OF THE DAY..
" The Lieutenant-General wished to allow the termination
t-3f the incorporation of the Veterans in the 51st regiment of the
line before he addressed them, for the purpose of, convincing
them that the sacrifice exacted from them by the public inte-
rest will not be of long duration, and to give them the certainty,
that the Government, with regard to,theea, willfultil with reli-
gious exactness the guarantees which the laws. and its promises
give them.
" The Veterans may he convinced that mother service will
he required of them than that to which they are legally liable ;
they will act,, therefore, as-brave and loyal soldiers, and they
maybe persuaded that they,will be treated with the same in-
dulgence and the same paternal care as their young comrades.
The Lieutenant-General is eager to believe, that, once en-
lightened as to their situation, the habit which they, have
already acquired in service will be stilLacted upon of aft*Ording
to young soldiers -the example of good discipline, and that
those who have lent an car to the dangerous councils of ma-
lignity will feel all their fault, and. atone by a conduct exempt
trout reproach, for an error which, as a temporary one, may
.be
forgotten, but which, if prolonged, will call for ail,the severity
of justice.
The Lieutenant-General, who, in-:concert with the admi-
nistration of the corps, is anxiously occupied in sending to the
veterans all the military effects which belong to them, flatters
himself that they will have the merit of associating with him,
who is one of them • in. the success of our arms, and that in.
future he shall only ;lave advantageous reports to make collie
Minister of War respecting., the veterans of the 51st regiment
of the line.

" PERVIGNAN, JULY 12.—At the time the
Marshal was employed in executing his move-
ment for besieging. Barcelona, Milans and Llobera
left the city and took up a position to enable
them to hold tho .Reevt`riny were, .on the nTl7.iii
vranca de Panadel. It is said that their
troops occupy Molins.de ltey. General Donna-
dieu has matched from Alanresa, to occupy that
position.

" It is presumed that the enemy will not re-
main at Molina del Rey, but will retire in the
mountains of Panadel ; and that at this moment
our line incloses Ba rcelona, between the Llobregat
and the river Bests.

" Lieut.-Gen. Curial occupiesliadelotta, where
the left of his division is supported by the brigade
of Gen. tie Vence,. and extending, his right, he
occupies the villages of St. Andre and St. Adrien.
—lf this line is well guarded, there can be no
communication with Barcelona on the land side,
er.ccpt by the very painful and difficult road of
Castelo.de Sels,, along the sea coast.
" Lieut.-G en. St. Priest arrived yesterday from
the army of Catalonia, and set out this morning ;
it is believed he will proceed to Montpellier,
before going to his new post.
No siege artillery have yet gone from. hence
—5,000 bombs from Port-Vendres have arrived
at Matero."

• PAnts,J ILL Y 20.—M4ny personshave witnessed.
with surprise the coudenittation pronounced upon
oueof the most eloquent and pure members of
our junior bar, on the occasion of the defence of
Kcechlio. This surprise is not confined to
the circle of one political.opinion, it is partici.
pied in by men of opposite opinions. As Ma-
gistrates
.can have no other object than truth
and justice, they will doubtless be glad to have
submitted to them, for the interest of both, those
reflections which have reached us from 'different
sides, upon' this subject.
When we speak of the right of defence, the
idea which we attach altogether to this term is
giat 9f absolute liberty on the part of the accus-
ed to say all that he thinks useful to Ids justifi-
cation. It is thus it was understood by the an-
;lents, whose authority is so often invoked at the
'far; it is thus it is at this moment understood
by the
,English, who thoroughly understand ju.
diCial guarantees. Never amongst them has it
been said that the defender of an accused ought
to be disturbed' in his defence, although the li-
cense of pleading goes in England much further
than amongst us.

In fact, the right of free defence is founded in
nature and reason. in nature, the efforts made
by an individual in danger for his preservation,
have always been regarded as innocent. In rea-
son, the accused has not chosen his situation, it
as not he who demands to be constrained to de-
fend himself, and if his words make any wounds
or cause any damage, he cannot be responsible
for blows which his aims in order to repel an ac-
cusation which he-has not solicited.
There is no trial but when the accused has
Teen heard in his defence; and there is uo de.
