THE MINISTER AT WAR.

Gcrona, 4M Jag, 1823.

MONSEIGNEUIU"A hundred and twenty men
from the fort of Figueras surprised by a rapid sally tbi post .at
the Jonquiere gate, in the town. The 42b.Lieutenant Dtittas,
of the sth of the Line, sprung forward with-twelve men, and
recovered the position at the point of the bayonet, with three parts
of the causeway which leads from the town to the fort.' Two
soldiers of the garrison were wounded, but we did not sustain
any loss.

Two hours afterwards the garrison made another sortie, in
larger force; a brisk firing ensued near the Jonquiere gate.
General Maringone advanced with forty tirailletirs, when the
enemy was vigorously repulsed; he had four men killed and
five or six wounded. A soldier of the bth infantry was killed,
and five or six of the same regiment were Wounded. Lieut.-
General Baron tie Dames praises in the highest terms the con-
duct of Lieut. Dumas.

Baron d'Eroles has presented himself, with his troops, and

the brigade of St. Priest, before Seo d'Urgel. Mina had pre-
viously quitted that place, leaving such troops as had escaped
in the engagements of the I Ith and 15th of June, and replacing
them with seven or eight hundred men of the garrison. lie
moved rapidly on Cervera and Tarragona ; but has not en-
tered Cardona, as was supposed. Baron d'Eroles occupied
the town of Urgel, and leaving before Sco, General Roma.
gosa, with two Spanish battalions and some companies of

the French, he marched on Cardona, which place he would
invest with his troops on the 30th. The brigade of St. Priest
continues his march on 31anresa. A dispatch which I have
just received from Baron d'Eroles announces that he will
confine himself to observing Cardona, and that he will after-
%raids march on Tortosa. On the 28th of June, the garrison
of Seo made another sortie, and was repulsed. Orders had
been given to Lieut.-Colonel d'lson to reinforce the blockade
with the 3d battalion ofthe 2d regiment of the line.
Mina arrived in bad health at Tarragona. He left on the
26th for Barcelona; his head-quarters are established at Sans,
about half a league to the left of the town.
The Ist battalion of the 00th arrived yesterday at Gerona.
Twit others, as will as the 16th regiment, will arrive in suc-
cession. They continue their march in the direction of San
Celoni and Cardeden. I leave Gerona to-day, and to-morrow
shall establish .my head quarters at Mataro. The troops are
approaching Barcelona, and by the time your Excellency re-
ceives this letter I hope that the
.blockade of that place will be
formed us close as possible, both by sea and land.

I have the honour to be, &c.
Marshal the Due de Cornegliano, MONCEY.

BULLETIN.

IliA Royal Highness has received the following details of the
expedition of Marechal-tie-Camp Hubert, in the Asturias :
The General having succeeded, on the 23d, at two o'clock
p. m. in collecting some boats at Riba de Sella, made the ne.
cessary dispositions for transporting across the river the two
battalions of the 21st. Campillo immediatly quitted his posi-
tion, but Col. Goutefray, of the 21st, impatient to come up
with the enemy, went in pursuit with three companies, as soon
as they were landed on the left bank of the Sella. After four
leagues quick marching on the road to Gijon, he overtook Cam-
who haduken up a position in the village of Couvion,
near Colunga. hie did not hesitate to attack him, though he
had but 90 men with him. •
