[BY AN EXTRAORDINARY COURIER.I
MADRID, JAN.,l7.—There has been a rumour
since yesterday evening, of the appearance of 5,000 insurgents,
under the orders of Beisieres and' d'Ujman, coating from Sar-

ragossa, and who have already arrived at Guadalaxara. Nothing

is known as to their object and their ulterior direction, but our

Oovernment received several couriers during the night of yes•

terday. The National Guard of Madrid has relieved the re-
gular troops at all the different posts, and the whole garrison
of the. City has advanced along that boad., but no details have
as yet transpired. The National Guard has offered its services
to the Cortes, who have not yet accepted them, en masse, but
contented itself with authorising the volunteers to march against
the enemy It is believed that Moreno and La Rojo de Val-
deras have come—the one from the neighbourhood of Orme,
,and the other from the northern provinces, to unite their forces
with those which' have arrived in the neighbourhood, of Gus-

dalaxara.

JAN. 14..-... Mine Still occupies the Sanly positions. Its army
is distributed upon the different points which,' have already
mentioned. No alteration has hitherto taken place.
Paul Mirales and Joseph Bosons have again occupied Or.
gagna with about 900 men. It appears that they are desirous
of maintaining themselves in this position, and they can now
.do so the more easily, because the bridges, which are in front
of Orgagna, have been destroyed. They have nothing to fear
from the army which is at Seo and its environs.—( Journal

We received, by the preceding courier, ,the news of the
taking of' Tarragona. Having already mentioned, upon the
Authority of our Correspondents, the important capture of that
.city, we delayed announcing it, as the letters which have
reached us all agree as to the events which are said to hive
taken place there; without at all prejudging intelligence so
important, we shall lay before, our readers the details which
those letters supply. The Archbishop of Tarragona, a Mem,
her of the Regency, has himself received dispatches front the
extreme frontier of Roussißon, which state as a positive fact
the taking,of Tarragona.
After having occupied the towns of Yids and of Rena, Ge-
rural Castonsa, who commands -the Royalists, presented hint-
' self before Tarragona, and summoned General Maus°, who
commanded the place, to surrender it into his hands. The
people of Tarragona, who had already loudly signified their
determination not to expose themselves to the rigorous .(,Vnse.
quences of a siege, had also called ripen the General to open
the gates to the Royalists, in %hose ranks they had many
friends and relations. Tarragona hoisted' the King's flag, and
the most perfect unanimitty prevails at this moment among the
inhabitants.--r Echo du 11, •

" It is then but too true that our credulity was played upon
by those who assured us that the Army of the Faith was anni-
hilated. The Unice trel itself, after all its fine displays on this
subject, to-day publishes the Bulletins of General Milans. We
there read that Catalonia and Arragon were never more .full of
Royalist guerillas than now. .11iralea has made a terrible ex-
