BULLIITIN.

His' oyal Highness this moment received the following
nformation-:
" At the close of the brilliant affair which the advance guard
of Count Bourmont had on the 12th June, at San Lucar la
Mayor, the brigade of .Dragoons of General Comte de Saint
May took the lead of the column, end repulsed the enemy with
great vigour, during the day of the 20th, in the direction of
Iluebla and San Juan del Puerto—points allotted for their em-
barketion. During their march they picked up a great number
of prisoners, took a quantity of baggage, and were well re-
ceived by the inhabitants.
" On the 21st, a part of this brigade pursued the enemy's ca-
valry, but they could not come up with thein • they likeivise
pursued some of the infantry, who were a good deal in advance,
and succeeded in embarking at pueblo.
" Colonel Hautefeuille, with 200 dragoons of the 7th and 9th
regiments, marched on San Juan del Puerto, where the enemy
had carried all their artillery. Our troops immediately charged
them at the moment they were putting them on board. Eleven
pieces of different sizes, a great number of caissons, and four
waggons, fell into the hands of Colonel Hautefeuille: General
Lopez Banos' troop, :who could not withstand the advanced
guard one moment, embarked with their General. The garri-
son of Lerida made a sortie on the 17th of 1,000 men, with lOU
cavalry and two pieces of cannon, to attack the Royalist Chief
Santros .Ladron, who observes that place. This column was
obliged to retire, and their artillery was taken: A number
were killed and wounded. GUILLEMINOT.

[From the Constitutions:el, July 5.]
The Ministerial Journals of the evening announce they have
received the Diario of Madrid of the 20th, which does,not con-
tain any news.
- Pants, JuLY 6..--The present situation of Spain still leaves
her holies ; she has no longer a central Government; it may be
said that there are as many wars as provinces, and men who
are compromised like better to fight a long time, than to sub-
mit to enemies who proscribe them, or even than lightly to
accept conditione for which it is difficult to find an effectual
guarantee.
Notwithstanding, however the sentences of death and 'se-
questration which follow each other, it does not appear that all
hopes arorenounced in the Ministerial salons of making an ar-
rangement otherwise than by means of cannon. The Budgets
are the quarters in which we have great parks of reserve, •and
it is hoped that we shall not he obliged to besiege Cadiz in order
to enter it. We know not on what ground it is that hopes are
entertained of soon entering that city, but it will certainly not
be on a wooden horse. Our sincere wishes arc in favOur of any
measure that may stop the effusion of French gold and blood,
and in favour of the, pacification of unfortunate Spain ; but we
persist in belieVing that the proper measure~ have not been
taken to secure it, and above Allem maintain it.
The Memorial Burdelnis gives a list of seventeen vessels
taken by Spanish privateers, and sent to Algesiras ; some have
been released, and others condemned.

PAR 19, JvLY 4.—ln addition to the intelligence from Lisbon
contained in the English Journals; a French Paper gives some
further details respecting the events which accompanied the
late revolution. In the midst of this great political change
thiedestiny of General Sepulveda is worthy of remark. This
man, who, after having conspired against the old Government
in favyur of the Constitution, conspired in the last instance
against the Constitution in favour of the chi Government, was
compelled to quit Lisbon in the evening of the 20th elune„ to
escape from the Constitutionalists irritated by his treason.—
(In proceeding to join the Infante Don Miguel, he, doubtless,
hoped that what he had done in favour of absolute power would
obtain for him a pardon for what he bad done in favour of
liberty—an illusion cot-ninon to all those who quit their ranks
for other standards. S9pulvedoi.was ill received, and even be.
fore the eyes of the Prince he was precipitated from 'horse,
and trampled under foot by' he soldiers. He cried out, " what,
one execution for use at Lisbon, and another here ?" Seeing
every where inevitable death, he doubtless began to think 'that
he would have found a more honourable one in falling sword in
hand with the party whom he had abandoned. Rescued from
the hands of the soldiery, he was conveyed under a strong
escort to the fortress of Pentche ; this was the only safeguard
of which be WAS considered worthy. As the price of his defec.
flan, he wits about to receive death from the hands of subalterns,
front a higher quarter he has received nothing but the favour of
a strong fortress.

A letter front .'Madrid, Of the 18th June, written by a Bel-
gian resident in that capital, Contains, among other things, the
following :
" The troops which compose our garrison observe an admir-
able discipline; their service is hard enough, as they have con-
tinually to prevent re-actions between the parties which divide
the population of Madrid.- These parties are three In number.
The most numerous, and that which reckons in its ranks the
most enlightened men, wish to have great changes effected in
the Constitution of cadir., and that the Throne should be sur-
rounded with suitable splendour and dignity. The second
party, is that of the. Ultra Constitiitionalists, wishing for an or-
der of things which is inconsistent with a illonarchy. The
third, and weakest of these parties, is that which calls for an.
absolute'King. If the ardent and implacable character of the
Castilians was not restrained by a respectable force, throats
would be Cut every day in the streets ; as it is, the French
Generals, notwithstanding all their care, cannot prevent some•
private nets' of vengeance; which front time to tune afflict the
fr~rnds of order."
The Etelk published yesterday evening an act of adhesion of
French or„ndees of Spain, to the Address of 'the tirandi-'
'nee cf drawn up at -Madrid. All that can be con-
cluded from this is, that tins adhesion procures for the Address
iti* the Grandilenee a reinforcement of five signatures.
