EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

We hove received Paris Papers, with a bul.
letin of Marshal the Duke of Brun to, giving an
account of a severe action, on the 28th ult., be-
tween a corps of Constitutionalists and a French
column, commanded by Gen. L ROCIIEJAQUELIN,
in the plain of Puerto Mirabel, near Novalmoral,
on the banks of the Tagus, and we believe a few
miles to the westward of Peraleda. Both parties
appear to have behaved with great gallantry ;
and although the French claim
.a victory, and
took about 'lOO prisoners, they acknoWledge that
every man of their own cavalry was wounded.—
The Constitutionalists in this quarter are acknow-
ledged to' have been actin:: on the offensive, and
they appear to Italie been in SUlTlvient 'force to
occupy the attention of the French for some time.
The bulletin of Ma'rshalMotiCEY also shews that
the Constitutionalists in Catalonia, notwithstand-
ing the fall of Figuerus, continue to display their
wonted vigour and activity. lint these indica-
tions of patriotism and strength in the remaining
defenders of the national independence, are, we
fear, utterly insufficient to repair the consequences
of the fatal' blow which'" has been given to this
Constitutional cause at Cadiz. The triumph of
the French, as far as regards the accomplishment
of their arrogant threat at the commencement of
the war, must be, considered as complete. Not so,
• however, the more important work of restoring to
tranquillity the unhappy country which they have
so deeply and irreparably injured. FERDINAND
VII. is indeed " free to give to his people such insti.
tutions" as the frantic pt4ty of the Faith may
mond, or as the Duke of A NGOULEM tc maybe pleased
to dictate ; but time alone can heal thet wide and
destructive breach which the events of the last
six months have occasioned in the state of Spa-
nish society, and how great must be the !nuke of
time so employed, may be inferred from the ex-
asperated and vindictive feelings which have.
every where been excited, and which have ar-
rayed in unquenchable hatreti, end hostility one
part of the population against the other.

PORT-ST. MARY, SEPT. 30, Three &Clock.—
The Guards have set oil again for Chiclam*, and
are going to take up the -position whiCh they oc-
cupied three (lags ago. Our seldiers, as well as
their Chiefq, show the greatest indignation at the
perfidy of the Cortes. His Royal Ugliness is on
the eve of his departure ; but he was prevented
by the arrival of three, flags of truce, which an,
nounce again the libeityof the King; and that he
Mould arrive to=morrow 'at Port SL Mary. The
.people and soldiers not attach much eon&
dents in this new prOinise ; but they positively
asserted that they came to prepare lodgings for
the King and his august family. '

MADRID, OCT. 4, Teno'Clock in the Morning.
—Madrid was yesterday in the greatest conster
nation. The news which was spread for the pv4"..
ceding' two days was contradicted. Since six
o'clock in the evening the whole population of
Madrid assembled on the Prado. At a quarter
before nine o'clock, a courier was perceived
corning. lie %vas immediately surrounded, and
instantly cried out, ‘4 The King is free, and all

agreeable information went like lightning from
one part of the town to the ether. More than

Bourbons!"

PARIS, OCT. 10.

REPORT OF THE MARSHAL DUKE OF REGGIO TO

HIS EXCELLENCY THE MINISTER OF WAR.

" M. LE MA It I.CIiA L,—Gen. Count Laroche-
jaquelin, whom I had posted on the Tagus at
Siavalmorel with his brigade ready to pass that
river, in order to move' on Badajos by Truxillo,
at the same time that Lieut.-Gen. Count Bourck
'should present himself before Cuidad Rodrigo,
gives me information that on the 28th September
last, the Constitutional troops which had quitted
Truxillo to approach the Tagus, made an ap-
pearance in the afternoon to wish to force the
passage at the ford of Almaras, but they were
keenly. repulsed by a half battalion of the division
Quesada charged with defending it.

" As soon as General Laroche Jacquelin had
knowledge of the enemy, he advanced on the
point threatened with the ISt regiment of Hus-
sars, the 7U of Horse Chasseurs, the 7th Light
Infantry, and two' pieces of horse artillery. The
:loth, in the morning, the enemy shewing the
heads of columns on the right bank of the Tagus,
General La Roche Jacquelin, presuming that he
persisted in his project of forcing the ford, did
not wish to let slip the occasion of reconnoitring
the troops which he had to oppose; he imme-
diately caused his troops to pass to the left bank,
which decided the advanced guard of the enemy
to beat a retreat.—A fter having followed hiS Move:
meat for nearly an hour, he found the Constitutional
masses in order of battle on the plain of Puerto
Mirabel ; after cannonading them for some time,
General Laroche Jacquelin threw himself on the
enemy's cavalry with the greatest impetuosity,
overthrew it, took from them a piece Of cannon
and their cassoon, and .completely routed them.
At the same time the 7th regiment of Light In-
fantry drove off the enemy's tirailleors posted on
the rocks, nod curried at 'the charge a height
crowned by tile,Spanish Infantry.
.;
44' The loss of the enemy was considerable ; a
hundred prisoners remained in our power, among
whom are the Colonel in Chief of the. Staff and a
great (asset grand) number of officers.
"'Notwithstanding our numerical inferiority,
the ardour of our troops was such, says M. La
aoilte.:.TaCtjue.lini in his report, that there was
not One of our cavalry who did not pay in his

person.
" does much honour to the troops
engaged, and to be just, we ought to name all
the brave who took part in it. General Count
La Roche Jacquelin praises much the conduct of
four companies of infantry of the division Que.
sada, who were under his orders.—Accept, &c.

REPORT OF MAASIIAL THE DUKE OF CO2iUOLIANO TO

VIE MINISTER OF WAR.

"NATARO, OCT. 2.
" Monseigneur,—l had the honour of rendering an account
to your Excellency of the occupation of the fort of Figueras by
the allied troops. The garrison amounted at, the moment of its
surrender to 2,410. It was composed of the battalions of Na.
vane, Arragon, and Murcia: 000 were sick. .

" The garrison had still provisions for about twenty days ;
by reducing rations one.third, they might have held out, for a
month,

" The number of cannon was 139. The stores consisted of
00,1150 killopframmes of powder, 4,200 bombs, 2,833 shells,
93,127 balls, 13,320 grenades, 1,432,42(; cartridges, and 3,438
quintals of case-shot. , •
".The 24 battalion of the sth Line, titicl sth battalion of the
Royal Spanish division, form now the •garrison of Figueras.—
They are commanded by M. de CoiVei, Lieut.-Colonel of the
sth Line. Orders have been giien for 'immediately proilsion-
ing the fortress for a' month.

" The column which' left Tarragona as I have already re.
ported toy Our Rxcelleney; is commanded by San /gigue]. It
amounts to 3,000 . infantry,
.and 300 horse. Froin Lerida it
Molt dui direction of Benerar. The allied troops placed them-
selves between tisa enemy and Lerida, to separate them from
that place, and render it iMpossible for them to return into Ca-
talonia.. Baron d'EroleS and Gippril Trotnelin occupied 'ra-
marita, while Santos Ladron was stationed at Fraga with 2,500
men, well organized. We are assured that the garrison of Le-
rida amounts only to 800 men; among whom are 400 provin-
cial militia.,
" Another column of 2,000 infantry and 100 horse attempted
to leave Tarragona on. the 29thOf September, at eight o'clock
in the morning, and moved towards Valls, leaving Valmol on
the left. About the half of those troops pushed forward to
Valls, while the other took a position between Secuita and
'Claim A battalion of the Ist Light Infantry occupied the
latter village. The other battalion was at Rlera. :General
Achard assembled at Catllar these two battalions, and 40 horse
of the Pith Chasseurs.

" To support this movement, Baron Montgarde marched from
Altr.ftillo six cowponies of the 31st line, a battalion of the 18th,
and 50 home. In making his dispositions for the attack, Ge-
Petal Aehard's principal object was to cut off the retreat of
the Constitutional troops to Tarragona. Alarmed by these
manretivres, the enemy retreated with the greatest preciph
htion. The Ist Light And the detachment of the 6th Chas..
sours, though they marched with, the uttitoseraplUity to Lorito,

could only overtake the rear guard of the enemy. Attacked by
our infantry, charged by our Chasseurs, the rear-guard fled in
the greatest disorder, and was pursued to the very walls of Tar.
ragona. They left 12 dead on the field of battle, and had many
wounded.

"We had seven men put hors de combat. General Achard
praises highly the ardour of the troops.
[Here follow the names of. those who particularly
guished themselves.] •
Marshal the Duke of Conegliano, 310NCEY."

A Private Letter from Tort St. Mary, of the
`2Bth September, 18'23, says 46 that of ninety-
four Deputies, sixty, it is said, voted for restor-
ing to the King his power, and have received the
accolade of his Majesty. The tortes dissolved
themselves. For the last 36 hours the Isle of
Leon was attacked with the greatest vigour.—
nallasteros, the Duke L'lnfantado, and the Am-
bassadors are arrived here."

CONSTANTINOPLE, SEPT. o.—As to the-affairs
of Greece, it was decided at the conference be-
tween Lord Strangford and the Reis Effendi that
they would be discussed in another moment,
which was conformable to the instructions given
on this subject by the Emperor Alexander. This
oews leaves little hope of an amicable arrange-
ment of the fate of Greece; it appears, on the
contrary, that the foreign negociators at Constan-
tinople have as oided discussing an object which
might have caused fear for the three reclama-
dons of the Christian Princes, especially respect-
ing the commerce of the Black Sea ; thus the
regeneration of Greece will depi•nd probably on
the success of her arms, and the fate of a fourth
campaign, from which the Porte, freed from the
war with Persia, and her fears of an invasion on
the part of Rus)ia, will display all her force in
order to replace under her yoke the Islands of
the Archipelago, and all those which have hoisted
the standard of the Cross.

CITY, 74
IC Chi é C
c —Congas opened this
morning at 8:IL:, at which price they remain
steady up to this hour,- With little doing. The
lowering of the French Rentes at Paris, and the
rise of the Spanish Bonds in the above Capital,
has had no effect on our Markets, nor do we hear
any further information of the state of affairs at
Cadiz by the Expresses arrived this morning.—
We have no reports, nor any news in the City.
FOREIGN MARKET.--The most business doing
this morning is in Poyais, which opened at 16
and got up to 18j.—Spanikh add Colombian
Bonds remain steady.

We have received the Official Account of the
Quarter's Revenue, but too late for inserting it
in our present Paper. The results, however, are
most gratifying, and shall be laid before oil:-
Readers correctly on Monday. In the mean
time, we beg leave to refer to our extracts from
the London Journals, for a tolerably accurate
summary as given by the New Times.

BAYONNE, OCT. 2.--Yesterday there arrived
in our port his Majesty's ship La Alalonine and L'AlSacienne,
having on board 250 men of the garrison of St. Sebastian. As
they are to perform quarantine, it has been judged dangerous
• to keep so many men crowded into so small* compass, and
part of them have been accordingly removed into the merchant
vessels, which are hired at 300 francs per day : 100 French sick
arrived here yesterday from St. Jean de Luz, and an equal
number had been sent the day before to Dax. The disorder at
Passage remains in the same state as before, not making any
/irogreas, and this is much gained. The Constitutional troops
who have marched from Vrustillo to the • number of 000 or 900
men, are pursued by above 2,000 French, who are going doubt.
less to oblige them to return into the place which it will be cessary to besiege. it' it does not surrender, as the others have
done. Accounts from Alicant say that the garrison has made
a sally, in which it gained considerable advantage over General.
Sempen'e, who was at aches. The submission of Colonel
Amor is spoken of. Soon there will be no snore troops of ar-
tillery before Pampeluna; all are gone to Lerida, which will
be immediately invested. The capitulation of Figueras renders
another division of the French army disposable for farther
operation,.
ST. PETERSIWIZOII, • SEPT. 19.—The PrlnCw.s;
