EXPRESS FROM PARTS

At a late hoar this forenoon we received, by
Express, the Moniteur and the EiOde of Wednes-
day evening, and 'the Pi/ote of yesterday. The
latest news from Port St. Mary is of the s2id ult.,
when (all the preparations for the embarkation
of the French troops being completed), General
BOURMONT had come to head-quarters to receive
the final orders of the Prince Generalissimo. The
Etoile contains an article from Perpignan, which
alleges that Figueras has "apitulated, and that
its garrison of three thousand men are pri-
bonen: of war. The unfortunate expedition from
Barcelona, which WWI intercepted and frustrated
by Baron' de Dastas, was supposed to have
been undertaken for the purpose of relieving'
Figueras. The fortress of Badajos is also said
to have capitulated ; and it is alleged that
Lopez BA NOS has submitted on the same
conditions as BaLLASTEROS.—it must be admit-

All the preparations are finished. Every
thing Wilb foreseen by General Bournsont. The •
Prince and the Major-General are gone to, in-
spect the preparations for embarking. They ate
expecting the order to embark every day. The
wind is good, arid the nights are fine. Thirti
men of the first post of the Island of Leon have •
come over to the French. They state that the
discontents of the troops of the line are at, the
greatest height, and that their comrades are im-
patient to join them. On the day of the attack
of Santi Petri, the alarm was general in the
Island, and every one fled to Cadiz. '
During the night of the 81st .and QV, three?
howitzers (or °busier') were placed near the salt
mines, and fired on Carraca. Some officers of.
