obtain the mediation of England—and that the

SARIA, ( Blockade of Barcelona) SEPT. 21.

Three columns of the enemy, in number 6000
infantry and 100 horse, with 10 pieces of cannon,
came from Barcelona on the 12th September. at
half-past five o'clock in the morning, marching
against the left of the line of investment. The
first column followed the sea side ; the second
marched on Olot ; and the third on that part of
the line between Gracia and Casa Donna. The
third column, much more considerable than the
two others, directed its principal efforts against
la. Casa. Nova, la Cala Milans, and la Casa
Donna.

General Peccadeux immediately ordered the
reserve to march. The enemy, attacked by
these troops, and by the fire of our artillery.
were forced to retreat. We lost one officer, one
soldier was killed end 17 wounded. According
to reports, the enemy had 200 kilted.

The Opposition Jourmds have all produced a
pretended correspondence between Marshal the
Duke of Reggio and the Regency. This corre-
spondence is apocryphal. It is evident it comes
from the same quarter as the fabricated Mani-
festo of thin Emperor Alexander, and the protes-,
totion of the Members of the Regency.

REPORT OF TUE MAJOR-GENERAL.

PORT ST. MARY, SEPT. 17.

MY Lora—His Royal Highness charges me
to announce to your Excellency, that the Civil
Intendant of Carolina renders account, under
date of the 15th, at night•, that• Riego was made
prisoner, with three of his Officers, by the inha-
bitants .of the Commune of Arguilos, and taken
to the prison of Carolina. There is every reason
to believe that this Chief, who was overtaken on
the 13th ►►t Jaen, by Gen. Bonnemains,and pursued
sword in hand, to Monetra Real, where our troops
arrived on the same day at
_eleven o'clock at night,
had on the following day a new affair, which
destroyed his corps, or that he was abandoned
by his troops. I shall have the honour to send
to your Excellency 'the details, which no doubt
will come soon to hand. The loss of Riego on
the day of
.the 13th was about .500. men, killed
and wounded, with prisoners.
