LAW RNIS POST.]

By the arrival of a friend yesterday from Ca-
diz, we were favoured with a series of Spanish
Papers to the sth instant On the 4th our
formula saw four hundred prisoners landed at
Cadiz from Valencia. They formed part of
Ulmann's corps, and had been taken when he
vas defeated by the brave Valencians in his at-
tack on their' city. They were in the most mi-
serable condition, without hats, shoes, or regular
clothing, and seemed a wretched set of men.
Two priests, also prisoners, marched at their
head. A few days before, two French mer-
chant fessels had been, brought to Algesiras
by Spanish cruizers. The Ad tress of the King
of Spain to his subjects, respecting the war with
France, which was published at Seville on the.
.27th instant, is a most important, eloquent and

convincing document, which, we trust, expresses
at last the real sentiments of the King ; and if it
does so, will fix him more securely on the throne
than the armies of all the Powers of Europe,
even supposing them to have that object really
in view.

[NEW TIMES.
Sir Robert Wilson has reached Vigo, and has

—made a speech ! No doubt this will have a
wonderful effect on the campaign; He very
piously attended Mass for the souls of some de-
ceased mutineersy and then set off to join, what
he will have some difficulty in finding—the Army !
—The reinforcements which the gallant Ex-
General brought to the cause of Spanish Ra-
dicalism consisted of two English, two French,
aind two German Officers. It would have
been convenient if he had brought a few
muskets, of which (as well as of every thing
else) the Descamisados are much in want. It
happens that about four thousand pounds' worth
have been lying for the last six weeks ready to
be shipped in the Thames the moment they are
paid for; but the mighty State, which a few
months ,ago was borrowing millions, cannot find
means to raise this paltry sum of money !—And
yet there are people out of Bedlam who will
gravely tell you the Cortes have a plan. for a
campaign !

Consols for Account closed on Saturday at 80A, which, con-
sidering the agitation naturally attendant on the close of an ac-
count which has produced several defaulters, cannot but be con.
sidered as evidence of a very satisfactory state of affairs. It is
probable, that by this time the Duke d'Angouleme is in Madrid,
and Mina in Barcelona. A proof, that littlela apprehended from
the manoeuvres of the latter, may be found m the circum-
stance, that General Molitor; who had advanced as far as the
Segre, had received. orders to pass to- the right (or Southern)
bank of the Ebro which implies that Moncey a corps was quite
sufficient of itself to deals with Mina. As to Ballasteros, it is
affirmed that he is retreating„ almost alone, towards the South.
D'Abisbal has contrived to plunder the people of Madrid pretty
handsomely, and appears to be marching off with the money he
has collected from them toward Portugal. We should not be
surprised to hear that he had, on some fine morning, bidden
adieu to his handful of troops and taken his chest of gold with
him, to visit his friends in Lisbon.--(lbid.)

[BRITISH PRESS.]
The French Papers of Thursday and Friday
reached us on Saturday and Sunday by express,
with the private letter of our correspondent.
Angouleme's army, by the last telegraphic dis-
patch, was in full march on Madrid, from which
its advanced guard was not distant more than
thirty miles. As no opposing army intervened
between him and the capital, it was expected
he might enter it about the 26th. Molitor, it
appears, had received orders to pass with his
whole corps to the right bank of the Ebro; he
was advancing to the Sogre. Part of the garri-
son of Barcelona, it appears, has strengthened
the corps of Milans and Llobera, and taken a po-
sition at San Celoni and Tordera, having Hostel.
rich and the river Tordera between it and the
division of Curial. There has been some tre-
mendous fighting between Mina and the di-
vision of Donnadteu, .to which all the private
accounts siva have seen allude, though it has
been suppressed by the French journals.—The
action is stated to have taken place at Ber-
ndt'. The French army is said to have suffered
dreadfully. The shock is mentioned as a most
violent and murderous one ; the action, it is re-
ported, took place on the 10th May. it wilt he
seen from our columns, that our gallant country-
man Sir Robert Wilson, accompanied by Colonel
Light, Captain Erskine, and some French
and German Officers, arrived at Vigo on the
Ist, for the purpose, of supporting the cause of
liberty in Spain. They were formally received
under the Constitutional banners, and the greatest
enthusiasm manifested by the Spaniards on the
occasien. Sir Robert Wilson's experience and
counsels will be of the greatest service to the
Spanish cause.. He arrived at Corunna on the
10th, accorppanied by the British Officers, and
they were to quit that for Lugo on the 15th,
accompanied by a troop of cavalry.
