tion here. Yesterday, for instance, a Commissary of the Police'
related every where, that he had just received a letter from
his colleague at Paris, who gave him the 'following informa-
tion :---" That a Constitutional Spaniard, who hail come over
to the Royal cause, had escaped from Urgel, and had arrived
on foot in the capital of the department : he had brought the
important news that Mina, who had retreated into the defiles
of the mountains, has found himself constrained to engage
in a combat which • lie could no longer avoid ; but that
just as it was about to commence, his troops, on whose
fidelity he thought he could rely, had mutinied against
him and refused to fight ; that they had even threatened to
seise his person, and would have eirected this project, had
he not escaped by retreating towards Barcelona, with some
companions, who remained attached to him. . The relater of
this news even went so far as to say, that this flight had not
succeeded, and that Mina, 'surprised by his own soldiers; had
been delivere to the French troops, and conveyed to Perpig-
nan, where he then was." Notwithstanding the confidence
with which this was communicated, it has met with no credit,
and sceptics would insinuate that it is merely a piece of policy
to throw a veil over some intelligence of a less welcome de-
scription. It is generally believed, that there has been some
action between Mina and Marshal Moncey, though we are
ignorant of the result.
It has been reported in the army of Marshal Inoneey, that
General Mollitor was coming to join it, and that on the way he
had defeated General Ballasteros, and taken from him 5,000
piisoners. But it seems certain that Ballasteros, far from
having been defeated, is of all the Spanish Generals the one
from whom the most is to be apprehended, because he has
no fixed position, and may suddenly appear at a point in which
it would be easy for him to do us much injury ; this has indu-
duced General Mollitor to move upon Piocia, by which be has
in some measure crt one corps in two.

'We have no news from Pampcluna, to besiege which, no
steps whatever are taken. It is the same with St. Sebastian,
the garrison of which makes frequent sallies, which always
cost us some killed. and wounded. The place continues to in-
crease its stock of provisions, so that it will be able to hold
out a long time when it is regularly besieged.

They write from Sarragossa that that city is in a state of
continual agitation, that the shops are constantly shut lest they
should be pillaged by the rabble, who traverse the streets utter-
ing dreadful cries, and threatening all those who are connected
with the Constitutional System, and even the peaceable in-
habitants. Several assassinations have already been commit-
ted ; there is reason to fear some commotion.

The mail from Madrid, which is this moment arrived, brings
absolutely nothing new—the letters are of the 7th ; they speak
of the tranquillity of the capital arising chiefly from the ab-
sence of almost the whole of the respectable part of the popula-
tion.

Our news from Catalonia says, that Mina, after quitting
*rich and Oldt retired in the direction of Barcelona ; that he
was not attacked, and that only his rear had exchanged a few
musket shots ; it was supposed to be his intention to join the
corps of General Ballasteros. Meantime Marshal Moncey has
fixed his head-quarters at Gerona.-

The Quotidienne affects to believe that the
French invasion of Spain has only been repro-
bated in England by our Revolutionists stnd Ra-
dicals ! The Quotidienne knows better; and it is
therefore unnecessary to prove to it that which is
notorious to the whole world, viz. that but one
sentiment on this subject is entertained by the'
British Sovereign, by his Ministers, by his Parlia-
ment, and by the great body of the rank, the
property, and the intelligence and loyalty of his
people. We will tell the Quotidienne one thing,
however, of which he seems to be ignorant, and
which may serve brim and his friends for matter of
serious meditation. The only persons in England

(with the exception of two Journalists), who VC.
jOiCe at the iniquity of the attack now perpetrating
upon the liberties of the Spanish nation, arc the.
Revolutionists who cherish " hatred in their
hearts against order, justice, and fixed prin-
ciples !"

SWEDEN, and the daughter of. EUGENE BEAU.
UARNOIS, is to take place by proxy, at Munich,

Stockholm, and to be accompanied by the Queen
of SWEDEN now in Paris. On their arrival at
Stockholm a formal celebration of the nuptials
mill take place, which is expected about the 15th
June, on rt hich occasion there will be a series of
fetes in the capital and throughout Sweden',

Yesterday the KING received visits from the
Duke of York and the Duchess of Gloucester.

The Duke of York, prompted by his usual
'kind-feeling, has enclosed 211 guineas to Mr. Ro-
bins, in aid of the unfortunate family of the lute
Prompter of Drury-lane.
The young Princess of Kent has been errone-
ously stated in all the Papers to have completed
her fourth year on Saturday last. Her Highness's
birth-day is the .4 -ith of May ; so that it is on
Saturday next that she will have completed her
fourth year.
Monday morning the Duke of York rode to
Hampton Court, and returned to town in the af-
ternoon.

MELANCHOLY AccinEwr.--Yesterday after-
mon a bricklayer, employed on a building near
Sadler's-Wells, fell from the summit of- the
,building, and notwithstanding the fall to the
,pavement met with several interruptions, he
came to the ground with a tremenduous crash,
by which both his thighs were broken and several
ribs fractured. Ike was instantly conveyed on a
litter by- eight men to St. Bartholewew's Hos-
pital, in an apparent lifeless state.
