'Camp to. -the Duke of Angouleme, left Madrid
twenty-four hours before him, and proceeds
straight to Cadiz. Several Officers of his House,
hold have also set out to prepare lodgings. The
good wishes of all the inhabitants of Madrid ac.
company this august Prince, who is going to ter-
minate his mission in a glorious manner, and for
the - happirress of Spain. The inhabitants of
Madrid -hope soon to see their Sovereign and his
liberator.

Every-•thing tends to mate us believe, that at
Ilse arrival of his Royal Highness at Port Saint
Mary a part of the 2d corps will be united to the
'troops under General Bourdesoulle.
Merino is still icr Estremadura. The most per-
fect tranquillity prevails in the kingdom of Va.
Ifencia. Our troops occupy the Castle. of Morelia.
Uhnan is still at Valencia. It is said the Empe-
kinado intends to submit. There is no longer any
doubt as to the corps of Villacampa. The French
garrison which occupies Lorca, and which per-
.formed prodigies of valour, receives -constantly
from the inhabitants testimonies of that esteem
and gratitude which their noble conduct inspires.'

MADRID, JULY 31, Tax AT nom'.
We had an alarm last night : about 300 of the
`Constitutional troops presented themselves in two
columns near the gates of St. Fernando and St.
'Vincent; it is said that they were cominanded
by the Empecinado. We beat to arms, and,
When the garrison assembledi the Constitution-
lists re-measured their footsteps.
Praise is due to the good spirit' and excellent
disposition .of the French troops. Some patrols
'of cavalry traversed the streets during the whole
of this day, add; at the, moment I write, all is
'tranquil, 'and the alarm is entirely subsided.:
The poor Regency is attacked on all sides i it
is taxed with despotism, and with giving itself
Up to' the spirit of vengeance; and is at 'Variance
with the nFrench military authority, which re-
-.roaches it with wishing to render itself indepen-.
dent of its benefactOrs.=---(Pildtc).

AUGUST 3.-1 transmit you the folioviing
letter, which I have jest received
• " CiatoitwA, JtitY 31.
" he day before yesterday a division of General Molitor
forced the first brigade of Ballasteres, composed of 3,500 men,
of all arms to accept battle at the defile called Arenas, near
the small plain of that name. The first result was the surprise
of a regiment of cavalry, 300 strong, of which seven only
escaped. The remainder of the brigade was intrenched within
a circle of inaccessible rocks. These miserables, perceiving
themselves all on a sudden surrounded with French bayonets,
thought only of flight. The cavalry threw themselves down
the rocks with haste and confusion truly disgraceful, until at
length all the brigade was killed, wounded, prisoners, or dia.:
perked. The same thing will lial?pen to the remainder or the
army of Ballasteros, which now finds itself surreunded, with.
Out 'the power of escape on any side, since all the outlets are
occupied byrrench troops. Yesterday morning 500 men of
all Anna had already surrendered at Juen,,and, among others,
tfie entire (musical) band of one of the regiments beaten the
day before. At this moment (eight o'clock in the evening) the
Lspersed soldiers are passing this town, and it is asserted that
Loma and the environs are equally filled with them. Before
this action, similar rencontres took place, the results of which

Were similar."—(Journal des ,Debati.)
Puttrto NAN, JULY 31.—The Marshal has or,
tiered all the *administrators who are at Mataro
to return to Gerona. It seems that he has esta-
blibbed his head-quarters at I\lataro. This order,
Which was badly understood, led to the belief
that the Marshal himself had returned to the
latter tciwnf whilst he was, in point of fact,
directing the operation of the corps of the army
Which he had directed to march upon igualada
and Cervera.

We yesterday received information of the
Attar of the 25th, with some details which the
(Officers dr the (10th wrote to their commander at
the dep6t. A battalion of the 16th of the line
foeittg a little toojenturesome, the Constitution=
°lists perceiving it alone without support, quitted
their positions to attack it. Without the 60th,
which in the end was sent to its assistance by
the Marshal, it would have run the greatest
danger. The 60th itself has suffered, a com-
mander of battalion has been wounded, and it
has lost some otlicers. It Seems that the action
Of the 15th ult. was in consequence of this affair,
as the Marshal did not intend to engage until the
16th. 'Eke garrison of Barcelona is constantly
Making sorties, which annoys our troops, and
keeps thorn constantly on the alert. The service
IS extremely hard, and occasions much sicknOss.
Hospitals are established at Perpignan and Ceret.
Ninety-one invalids have already arrived here ;
another, detachment is expected to-morrow.—
Hospitals are preparing at Ades and St. Genus.—,
(Constitutionnel.)

4t is with the most cordial satisfaction that we
Itratounce that a Public Meeting' has at length
been resolved upon, for the purpose of promoting
the independence of Spain. The Meeting will
take place on Wednesday next, at twelve o'clock
at noon, iu the new spacious and splendid Pan-
theon Room, in Church-street, which has been
most spiritedly offered gratuitously for the pur-
pose. Had not this measure been resolved upon,
it was our intention to solicit individual subscrip-
thms in thisTious cause. We have already re-
ceived 331. is. in behalf of the Fund, from several
individuals, whose names we shall for the pre-
sent withhold, as we shall hand over the amount
to the Treasurer who may be appointed at the
ensuing General Meeting.----Liverpool Mercury.
