of Barcelona to,march against the enemy, which
is not credible, it being to. be presumed that he
would still leave's force before that Thrfrest-suf,

You have doubtless learnt the affairs of the 9th, when the
"enemy
were driven from the positioh of Molitios del Rey. 'They
mired Lb Villa Franca, Where they had from 7 to 8,0(111 men,
• 'commanded by &titans and Llobera., Hine is, it is said, sick
at liveelonu; this morning, however, it is 'currently reported
that he has rejoined his trodps.
" General Donnadieu observes Villa Franca with his division.
hineett,tie tith the division of Curial has formed the blockade of
Ilareelona.; that is to ray, we are sUittered round the city.
'imagine to yoUrself 8,000 men A the' Most maintaining a line
of more than three leagues,'Whilst the elmstitutional militia do
nut suffer us to sleep. Almost every night Om enemy attack
us 7 or at 'least harass us in such it manner as to keep us con
atantly under arms. We in short begin to habituate ourselves
to have no sleep, awl we are very much fatigued.

"flaw night the 12th light infantry had a surprise, aifil lost

that We see no end to our troubles, for the enetny on enter the

" The Spaniards boast eUeli in the
.Barcelona Journals of
their sortie of the 16th. They have celebrated that day as a
triumph. They give the pgreatist praise to the battalions of Bar.
barn°, the Colonies, and Leom which they say charged with
the bayonet. They assert that they captured two pieces of
cannon, that they took prisoners, and that they should have
obtained a signal 'advantage had they had 'cavalry. During
this attack, which commenced by the Fort of Opio, Mina
caused himself to be conveyed is the ramparts of Barcelona,
from whence he could perceive and follow all the movements.
• " There is a talk of new'and verYteriouaengagementa Which
took place on the Mb, but the details arc not stated. Any
thing respecting the army is written very briefly, and persons
'who arrive are very circumspect.

speaking of the Regency at Madrid," Its
finances and its it'ilfty are about to he organized,
and its, march better regulated ; every day will
powerfully contribute to the Malntentince of
order." We have already expressed our opiniod
on the difficulties which. were in the way of. this
regularity of proceeding which the Moniteicr fore-
told of the Regency; we have even priinttd intt
some of the obstacles which would delay for a cod-
siderable period the introduction of order in the
finance's, and consequently prelient the nrganika-
t iouu of the army. AV e must 110 W, huiVeVer, confess
that ere; then forgot the most formidable object
which the Regency would t ncounter in, ha march
to 'teetilarity and organization—that whickrestilts
from the zeal, the cupidity, or' the ambitious of
'the individuals it employs, when these indivi-
duals, profiting by the power that they possess;
and the necessity of employing theni, eleVate
themselves to a legislative paver, and decide,
its the spirit of a party on the most sacred lute-
re. its of society. What hope Caul there be, for
o,xaMple, of bringing about the return of order
and organhiatirm, if a General undertakes, by a
Mere Order of the Day, to ameliorate public opi-
nion,.and put down the abuses of the press, to
provide for 'remounting and clothing the troops,
the paymesit of the army and the tribunals; to
extirpate the vestige's Of the Constitution,
floally, to subject to piiiiishinent those who have
manifested Constitutional sentiments by gifts, by
actions, by words, or even by soup ? And what,
if time only Means to be employed-, according to
this Order of the Day, are the most extensive

forms, .dowiciliarywe must despair visits, and burnings• in

to see repose, order, and peace ever restored in

ment. The journals of
.the South of France
have published an Order of the Day of General
Count tPEspagne, which we must bring under
111ft-notiCe of our reader's. 'They (Vill there see,
:by what nstatus he engages the Militia to return`
to their duty and to repentance, end the public

its.exertions.
The Mane informed us yesterday evening that
the Trappist ranks as a MajorXeneral. It was ,
known foul since, that the Cure Merino is a Bri-,
The war in the Peninsula may atfold,
if!toMesh% of deciding a treition of ecclesiastical c

discipline, which has not perhaps yet presented'
itself, 'namely, whether ecclesiastical functions
may accumulate 'with military grades, or whe-
ther they are nattirally suspended w hanthe party
put on the CtlicaSS., and 'w hether 'it itki)`efinitted
•
them to wear epaulettes, and per fOrniikt le same
time the service of the altar and tilde* light
troops? Tli solution of this question 10 neces-,
sary that we may assign a position in society to,
the Trappist dud to Merino, otherwise they may
be considered as altogether military, or altoge-
ther eccUshistic, iir as more ecclesiastic than mi-
litary, or More military than ecclesiastic`; or as'
half military and half ecclesiastic, or 'perhaps as
being neither military nor ecclesiastic. This un-
'certainty must cease-, unless it is ivished to dis-
courage priesEs who devote thethselves to the
career of arms.

The histei'y of Antonin Maragnon; sarnatned
the Trappist, is known. After having dissipated'
at play his own fortune., and that of some of his;
friends, he turned soldier,'and figured in the civil,
wars of his Country ; he then went into a cloister,
'from whence he ernerged at the moment of new
troubles agitating Spain, and since the-Organiia-
thin of the Army of the Faith, he 'figures us a par-,
than chief. The Quotidiehne of yesterday made
him a little Saint. " lie is like (it *says) Peter'
the: Hermit preaching a- 'crusade, and drawing:
vrtth him whole nations, but his modistY
idni to repulse all the homage addeessed to him."
The Drapeaa Blanc says that. the, Municipa-
lity of Placentia has presented an Address to the,
_Regency of Madrid, supplicating it to re-esta-
blish, from the present moment, the Tribunal qf
the Holy 14tisition with all its rights, and th their
full and entire exercise, " persuaded," Says the.
Municipality, or the D.rapeait Diane, " that with-
out this double guarantee we shall never enjoy
that tranquillity and repose of which the enemies
'or the Altar 'and the Thrope have deprived As.",
.We see that the Drapeaa Blanc, who ha's heard;
of arrangements., of transactions-, and of hetii/dck,:
does not lose 'a moment 'in opposing to these per.
fidioni intentions an energetic manifest of the'senti-
()lents of the true Royalist Spaniards. The Holy
Inquisition with all its rightF; and their full and
entice exercise, with its dungeons, 'executioners,,
and torturers; its-mlseties, and its anti:Ali-les, is
the bete means of restoring peace and happiness
to a country. The Drapenit, at present, only re-
'claire's it for Spain, but patiencewhen M.
shall'
be re-esettblislied in the Peninsula, M. de :la
Mennais will signify; without doubt, to the
Ministry, that it is time to realize the words of
Louis XI V., " 77re Pyrenees lire no snore."
