SUN-OFFICE, Two O'CLOCK.'
The Duke de SAN CAut.os, and. the Duke
nu. INFANTADO, who are now, their way
to Madrid, are to exercise. important„func-
.
tions in the new ,ProOsionar Spanish G!ivfrri-
ment. All idea of negotiations between France
and the Constitutional Spanish Government
is believed to have been abandoned. If any negocia.
'ions, therefore, should hereafter' be entered info,
they must be between the rival governments for
Spain, viz. the King and the Cortes on.the one part,
and the Council of Regency on the other; and they
-win have for their object the alteration or entire
subversion of the Constitution, if the French
should be progressively successful, or the sub-
mission of the Spanish Royalists, if the cause of
the Constitution should prove triumphant.

EXPRESS FRONT PARTS.

We have received by Expressthe Mode and
the Pilote Paris Papers of yesterday. At length
the French admit that there has been an engage-
ment in Catalonia between Ceneral DoxitoiEu
and a Spanish corps commanded by IIoTEN and
by the Political Chief of Catalonia. Ge.
seral DosAntEu of course claims the vic-
tory, though he does not even pretend that
he has reaped any fruits from it. He has

taken no cannon,—no camp equipage,—no
prisoners!—Marshal MUNCEY remained at Ge-
rona on the 19th instant ! It is no longer
possible to conceal that the French have entirely
failed in Gatalonia. They have not, it is
true, been routed in any general action,
nor have they been compelled to withdraw
within their own frontier, but it is clear
,that all
their movements have been controlled and deter-
mined by the manoeuvres of the Spanish Com-
manders, and that they have been unable to ac-
complish any of those " decisive" operations upon
which the Duke d'ANnotit,Emt calculated as ne-
cessary for the success Of the war.

PARIS, MAY 25.—We learn from Bayonne
under (late the 18th of May, that the Frencl
are expected to enter Madrid on the 21st, pre.
ceded by the Spanish Royal Guard. A travel.
ler just arrived from that capital reports, that
the Count of Abishal, who comman►]s the revo,
lationary troops there, will sen►l in his submis.
sion as soon as the French Army shall present
itself before the gates of that Capital.

We learn from Puycerda. under date the IGth
of May. that Count Molitor summoned the Co.
vernot of Lerida to surrender. A part of the
gitrtison u ished to capitulate, but the remainder
being opposed to it, the result has been, that the
Miquedets have been ordered out of the town,
which augurs well for its speedy surrender.

' The towit of ingualathihas been evacuated by
the Constitutionalists, about 800 strang, who
have marched in the direction of Barcelona.
It is doubtful whether they will be able to reach
that place._

The results of the action On the other side of
Hostalrich ari"tipt yet known ; but it is uScer-
fained to have. been disadvaniageinis to the'Con-
mitutionalists. under the orders of Aliions. It is
reported Ilia.t.h6 was s ounded, and that his troops
suffered severely. .

sail-about eleven o'clock at night for Corunna.
From Irtin to the Head-quarters there are few
troops employed on any other service than as
Patrols, and in escorting convoys from France.
Our relations with Arragon and Navarre having
been 're-established, we have 'just been informed
that on the Bth of this month (Ascension Day),
whilst the division of the Army of the Faith en-
camped before Pampeluna were at Mass, the
garrison of that place made a
,sortie with six
pieces of Field artillery, and threw the whole
camp into complete disorder.

We learn from Saragossa that there are only
from 6 to 700 men in garrison there, Who occupy.
the Citadel. Patrols go from time to time into
the town to keep good order between the Royal-
fists - and the Citizens, who will not submit to
their exactions ; 'but scarcely a day passes-with-
out *Rothe victims to the re-action. These disorders
