PARIS, MAY 2s.—A. letter "from Bayonne of
the trid says, that a detachment of the garrison of
Panippluna made a sally on the 20th, at nine in
•-the mooning, ft overtook at Vilelba a battalion
of the Army of the Faith, which was very
roughly handled ; and would, perhaps, have
been entirely destroyed, had not the French

,troops come to its .assistauce. An action then
took place, and, at five in the afternoon, the
enemy's detachment returned into the place.

PUYCEUDA, MAY 18.=----A traveller from Bar.
celona, which he left on the 13th, in the even.

ing, gives a dreadful picture of all the horrors
committed in that city, which has now become
the refuge of the most violent Constitutionalists
of the Provinces. They continue to shoot the
priests, the monks, and persons of the most ele-
-vated rank; =4OOO men are constantly employed
in widening the ditches and making palisades.—
The same traveller gives further details of the
tragical death of the Bishop of Vich. This pre-
late, after having long remained confined in the
Citadel of Barcelona, was tried in the beginning
of April, and declared innocent. Passports were
given to him and to two F,'"celesiastics of his suite
6to go to Tarragona.' On'wiring at Ordalt, six

leagues from Barcelona, his carriage was stopped
by the post stationed there, and the travellers
ordered to alight. The Bishop immediately
showed his passport to the.,Captain of the Post,
who, after reading it, drew a pistol from his
pocket, and killed him. He did the same to the
two Ecclesiastics, who expired on the lifeless
body of their Prelate.
MAY t is reported this morning, that the
division of Paul Miralhes lad been attacked by
a superior force and by cavalry (said to have
come from Lerida), between Cervera and Calaf,
and that Miralhes was .killed, after performing
prodigies of valour. It is added that Miralhes
had only 600 men With him, the rest being at
Solsona. We have the hope that this news will
not be confirmed.

PERPIGNAN; MAY 20.—The engagements of
tirailleurs, which take place from time to time
between the garrison of Figueras, are occasioned
by sallies, the object of which is to procure vege-
tables. On the 18th, in the evening, there was
a pretty lively cannonade to support a sally,
effected partly towards Figueras, partly on the
side of Llers. Those that had advanced towards
the town, after a fire of musketry, which con,
tinned a considerable time, retreated upon the
fort, for two squadrons had been sent to cut them
off, but without/success.

The head-quarters remain at Gerona, from
which the Marshal has been absent two`days to
go to Vich. The war, us it is now carried on in
Catalonia, causing our troops great fatigue, maker
them detest the name of it and the Generals
under him. Marches and - countermarches are,
indeed, not calculated to satisfy those who have
already traversed the same countries with arms
in their bands ; and
.the soldiers lat'ely enlisted
would prefer, without hesitation, a serious en-.
gagement ; but hitherto they have not been able
to overtake the enetny Scarcely have they
arrived in a place which is said to be occupied by
Mina, when they learn that he is somewhere else.

PARIS, MAY 29.—We are aston►shed that the
Journal des Debuts, whiCh yesterday gave us,
with a truly remarkable confidence, the news of
an understanding existing between Generals Abii-
hal, Ballasteros, and Morillo, and which contra-
dicts with no less certainty all that has beet► said
by the Constitutional. Journals on the conse-
quences of the inconsiderate step of the
Governor of Madrid, should not be better Wenn-
ed respecting the events that really have taken
place in that Capital.
We have the following accounts in.a letter of..
the 18th:--

" After violent altercations with the officers of the corps un-
der his command, A bisbal, abandoned by his troops, was forced
to lay down the command, which was transferred to General
Castel-de-los-Rios, late Governor of Catalonia, and one of the
men most decidedly in favour of the Constitution. •
" It was affirmed at the departure of the courier, that Abis-
bal had been arrested. The object of his letter was to sound
the public opinion, but not a single voice was raised in his
favour.

" In an action which the Royalist Chief, 31iralhes, had to
maintain with the troops which came from Lerida, he was
completely defeated, taken prisoner, conveyed to Cervera, and
put to death.
" Santander and Ililbea are uncovered, and exposed to a
coup-de-main of Campanillo, or the Pastor.
" General Sir Robert NI"Ilson is organizing battallems in
_ _

" There is an intention of reinforcing the corps of General
Donnadien which hits suffered in 'the late engagements.
" The garrison of Pampeltina makes frequent sallies. •

PArtis MAY 29.—The Council of the Indies
and the Council of Castile assembled at Madrid
on the 24th, and on the 25th they nominated the
Regency, which is to govern Spain during the
captivity of the King. This Regency is com-
posed of five Members, viz.:—The Duo del
Wanted°, President of the Council of Castillo ;
the Dun de Montemar, President of the Council
of the Indies ; the Bishop of Osma ; Baron
d'Erolas, Member of the Regency
,of Urgel ;
and M: Calderon, Member of the Provisional
Junta, who accompanied the Doke of Augou-
leme to Madrid. The Council of the Indies
exercises the same power over the provinces
beyond the seas, as the Council of Gastille ovor'
Old Spain. We may observe in this choice, asd
iu these combinations, as much good sense as
ability. The effect will be immense.
GERONA, MAY 25.—Yesterday, the 9. Ith, at
two o'clock in the morning, the enemy having
concentrated his forces, attacked the forces of
General Curial, at Mataro ; our'brave men were
soon under arras, and the enemy, vigorously
charged amidst cries of 64 Vive le itoi!" was
driven from position to position, quite to the walls
of Harcelona.—Durinv, the action the constitu-
tional General Llobera was wounded, and the
enemy left the field of battle covered with killed
and wounded.—This morning a standard, taken
from the enemy, was brought to the Marshal by
Baron Connet de Larrey, Captain of the Staff,
who was in the action.—The Marshal, Com-
mander-in-Chief, is setting out this moment ; he
will be at Mataro to-morrow—" Vive le Rol."

P. S.—The port of Barcelona is blockaded by
a French squadron ; that city is not in a condi-
tion to make a long resistance. Internal divi-
sions and want of provisions are two enemies that
already act for us. During the whole action
which took place on the sea-shore, our squadron
kept up a constant destructive fire on the Con-
stitutionalists.

P Anis, M 29.—Lefters received to-day from
Bayonne contain the following news
Since the arrival of General Nifilson in Gallicia, great ar.
111(1111ellt$ are making in all that province.
The garrison of Pampeluna make sallies from time to
time, but all its advantages are confined to the carrying of some
postsj which were not sufficiently oil their guard.
We have above 4,000 men before St. Sebastian, which is
thought a sufficient force against the 3,000 men in that place.
" It seems that sonic of our troops have retired from Sammie
and Saint Andero. The Chief, Campanella, and the garrisons
of those places, make military proMenades.
" The report is confirmed, that the Spanish Army of the first
military division, which occupied Madrid and the environs,
was retiring towards Estremadura."
