LONDON,
THURSDAY, JULY 3, 1823.

SUN OFFICE, Two o'clock

We understand that accounts have been re-
ceived by the Spanish Legation here, of a victory
said to have been obtained by MtNit over a
corps of French troops. The accounts, however,
are not official ; and suspicions are entertained
as to their authenticity.

The indefatigable MINA, who has almost im-
pressed the French troops with the belief that he
exercises supernatural power, so impenetrable
are Ida designs, and so rapid and mysterious his
movements and appearances and escapes, is again
at large, ranging through Catalonia at his wilt,and
compelling his enemies to renew that fatiguing
and hopeless pursuit in which he had so long
previously'employed them. We stated yesterday
that it was rumoured that MINA. had only entered
the Seo d'Urgel with the view of deceiving his
ememiesi and of inducing them to sit down
before that fortress, whilst he and his troops
marched oil' to some other place. The truth of
this rumour is at length acknowledged and con-
firmed both by the Quotidienne and by the
Gazelle de France, from which we have extracted
the following paragraph :--
" ENVIRONS or LA SEu, JUNE 23.—The French and
Royalist troops are arriving in our neighbourhood. Confusion
is at its height. The miquelets and militia have dispersed.
Baron d'Eroles has taken up a position at Mas d'Eroles and
trail, with 3,000 foot and 200 horse ; the French division is
at bos ; and Rotnago sa, atEnserail, closes up the pass of An-
dare. The pass of Pa!las is the only one that is open. Mina
has not moved on the Gonque tie Tremp ; the day of his depar.
tute from the Seu, he arrived at six in the evening at Ouliana;
on the 20th lie was at Pons, which makes it be presumed that
lie intends moving on Lerida."

MINA, therefore, as it appears by the impor-
tant admissions in the preceding extract, is in a

very different situation from that to which he
was said, by previous French accounts, to have
been reduced ; and instead of being imprisoned
within the walls of a fortress, sick and dispirited,
with the miserable remnants of a force almost in-
capable of further resistance, we see him once
more engaged in active operations, and compel-
ling the French army in Catalonia to act only on
the defensive.

Private Letters from Seville state, that the
whole of the Cortes, with their property, de-
parted for Cadiz, and that all of them had en-
tered that city. The French accounts endea-
voured to produce a belief that very few of the
Members of the Cortes had really shut them-
selves up in Cadiz.

It is confirmed by official accounts that the
constitutional force under VILLA CAMPA aban-
doned their leader before Cadiz,—that one half
of these troops dispersed,—and that the remainder
have joined the French.

Letters from Gibraltar of the 13th, received
this morning, state that two French sail of the
line; two frigates, and a sloop of ware were
cruising in the bay. The same letters state, that
a great Spanish house in Gibraltar had failed.

It is said that an Express has arrived this
morning from Paris, bringing the price of the
French Funds, 88f. 80c.

We have received Calcutta Papers to the 12th
February, from which we make the following

extracts :

[From the John Bull of the 10th.]

44 On Monday the transports with the troops
lately stationed at Bassadore, on the island of
Kishme, anchored in the harbour, the military
garrison of that island being reduced.—Accounts
from Siam state, that the Siamese are erecting a
battery of 40 guns at the entrance of the river,
and that they are clearing away Picknam, the
first village at the entrance, in order to build a
citadel."

We refer our Readers with pleasure to the
very satisfactory view of the financial condition
of the country, given by the CH k tiCELLO it of the
EXCHEQUER last night, in the Right lion. Gen-
tleman's Speech on the Budget.

THE KlNG.—(iVindSo7',././49-.)--/lIS MAJESTY,
this week entertains a numerous party of distin-
guished individuals to meet his Royal Highness
the Duke of Cumberland, who arrived at the
King's Lodge yesterday afternoon, accompanied
by the Prince of Solms.—Yesterday evening
nearly twenty persons of distinction had the
honour of dining with his Majesty, which is
about as large a party as can be conveniently ac-
commodated in the dining-room of the Lodge.
Most of his Majesty's guests sleep at Cumberland
Lodge, the Cottage (or King's Lodge as it is now
called) being calculated to accommodate but few
persons beyond those more immediately con-
nected with hi 3 Majesty's Household.

OCTAVIUS GRAIIAM GtLCIIIIIST, ESQ.—We are
sorry to announce the death of this gentleman,
whose talents, taste, and acquirements were well
known and justly respected in the literary world.
According to report, he was one of the contri-
butors to The Quarterly Review. N'Ve know not
if that be the fiict, but. the reputation of being
concerned in 'a work that has been so firm a
support to the CONSTITUTION and LITERATI/11Z
of this country, in stemming the torrent of demo-
cratical dangers on the one hand, and in check-
ing the progress of false taste, on the other, must
be deemed no slight honour to the person to
whom it is attributed, and Mr.GlLcita in certainly
possessed learning and abilities that fully quali-
fied him for a participation in a work of such
importance to our national politics, morals, and
Literature. Mr. GILCHRIST died on Monday last,
at his house in Stamford, Lincolnshire, at the
age of 43, and it is said has left considerable
property.

Died lately at Paris, Mr.:.islicsioLAß Ct.an v,
formerly merchant In Marseilles, and who had
acquired a large fortune by commercial specula-
tions. Mr. C. was brother to the present Queen
of SWEDEN, and to Madame JOSEPH 8U0N.1.-
PAUTE. He constantly refused the titles, ho-
nours, and appointments that were proffered
him.

It is said that Mr. GItEr.N, the aeronaut, in-
tends to ascend in his balloon from York, during'
the Yorkshire Musical Festival, in September.
The last letters from Marseilles and Bordeaux,
state, that there is n very considerable rise in the
Premiums of Insurance, owing to the increased
activity of the Spanish privateers. No vessel was
allowed to sail from Marseilles without convoy.
Merchandize of all sorts had materially risen in
price in consequence.

Knowledge makes considerable progress in St.
Domingo. An Academy. has -been established
there, under Dr. Fournier Pascay, a distinguished
French Physician, in which are taught all branches
of Medicine, Jurisprudence, Literature, Astro-
nomy, &c.
FAIRLOP FAIR.—At a Special Sessions of the
Peace, held at the Angel Inn, Great Ilford, Es-
sex, on Saturday last, it was decided by the Ma-
gistrates, in consequence of the excesses com-
mitted on former occasions, that the fair held
annually on the Forest of Hainault, known by
the name of Fairlop Fair, the same not being
held by charter or prescription, should last but
one day, to-morrow,
