NEWS FROM THE ARMY OF SPAIN.

" GERONA, MAY 15.—Last night at twelve
o'clock a dispatch was received from Marshal
Moncey, who had moved forward to attack the
enemy. His Excellency announces that Milans
had just retired, and regrets that he had not been
able to hear a certain whistling sound, which mould
have made his old age young again. These are hii
own expressions.

" It is now five o'clock in the evening, and
his Excellency is not yet returned. The
Chief of the Staff went out to meet him,
but he is, come back, and according to all ap-
pearances his Excellency will not return to.

night.
C. The movements of General Molitor will tend
still more to dishearten Milans, and induce him
to take the, road to Barcelona.
" MAY 16.—His Excellency the Marshal re-
entered Gerona a short time after the departure
of my preceding letter. Milans has evacuated
the strong positions ho occupied, and retires on
Barcelona, the only road now open to him.
44 PARIS, MAY 21.--We have this instant re-
ceived by express the Journals of the South.

(Head Quarters of the Army of Catalonia, Afay 13.)
64 The forces of Mina diminish daily, and fly
before the troops of the 4th corps. This Con-
stitutional Chief moved from Cardonna on Maya,
with the intention, it is supposed, of again form-
ing a junction with Milans in the vicinity of Bar-
celona. The second corps of the army marches in
the direction of Ceivera.

" PARIS, MAY 21.—Letters from Perpignan

present us with some curious details respecting
the composition and movements of the Spanish
Army, now operating in Catalonia under the or-
tiers of Mina. We will lay before our readers
the information which has reached us on this
subject.

" The army under the command of Mimi, exclu
sive of troops in garrison, amounts to 20,000 men.
It is composed principally of veterans who serv-
ed during the war of independence, under the
same General who is now at their head, and •to
whom they are entirely devoted. The garrisons
have not weakened the army to any extent, for
they are almost wholly composed of Active
Militia. The principal Chiefs of Mina's corps
are M Llob era, Manso, Rotten, and Gorrea.
Milans and Llobera are in the environs of Hos-
talrich, Manso in Cerdagne, and Rotten and Gorrea
were at the opening of the campaign in the im-
mediate neighbourhood of Tarragona. As to
Nina, the Journal des Dlbats alone is sufficiently
skilful to point but his route. Gun knows how
admirably it does this!
" The Monileur preserves so strict a silence
upon the operations of the army in Catalonia,
that we are obliged to have recourse to our pri.
vate correspondence, and to extract from that
all the information we can to satisfy the impa-
tient curiosity of our readers.
" A traveller who lies recently arrived from
Spain assures us, that the. Constitutionalists are
full of enthusiasm, and resolved to defend them-
selves to the utmost; they alt retire from those
places where the French arrive, and then reunite
on the points indicated in the general plan of

defence.
44 The Count de l'Abisbal is at the head of a
large force ; Morillo,aho unites his bands, which
daily increase in number.
" The Constitutithmel yesterday 'erroneously
announced that Mituns had re-entered Barce-
lona. On the contrary, every thing indue.es the
belief that this General has not, yet quitted the
environs of llostalrich.
44 Letters from Vich do not speak In the most
favourable terms of the manner in wklich our
men were received in that place.
