" PERPIGNAN, /11*Yi7.—On the 14th, the Marshal advanced
his head-quarters to Vich ; the Administrations. remain at Ge-
rona; General Bergas visited Blanes, Cassa de la Selve, and'
Pidamos. On the 15th, Gen. Rastignae established himself at
Thanes. It is believed that this part of Catalonia will furnish
forage for the supply of the head-quarters. The field pad{ has
arrived in the environs of Gerona.
Our troops still observe Hostalrieli and the road from
Barcelona: our •left 3n Allis quarter has pushed its advanced
posts to the environs of Ttntlera and Malgrate. The enemy
occupy Matirm.
" The blockade of,tlie Citadel of Figueras is extremely re
-
taxed, provisions enter every day : 1,200 sheep and oxen feed
daily on the glacis ; and the garrison are in continual commii-
nication with those without."

INTELLIGENCE FROM THE ARMY OF SPAIN.
Further details have been received respecting the affair of
Casteltersol. We only lost 22 men and one officer (Captain
Jardin).
General Romagosa pursued the enemy to St. Felin. Many
%were killed, amongst others the Colonel of the Regiment of

Leon. •
General I)onnadieu marching upon Cellent, where he e*-
pects to encounter Mina.
It appears that the corps d'arrnee Which was so successfully
attacked by this General on the 17th, was that of Llobera.—
The movement of this Constitutional Chief had for its object
',to protect the retreat -of Alilans. We now learn that he is
marching npon Barcelona by

"We now know correctly the position of the enemy, and
the !timber of troops they have -in Catalonia. Their troops
to not exceed 9,ooo'men, which are divided in three corps of
3,000 men each, the first commanded by fans, the second by
Idobera, and the third by Mina. The • corps of Llobertv tuts
been .defeated at Illoya, with a part of the gartison of Bar.
,celon, by Gen. Donnadieu. The corps of 'Wiens, which Was
'in the environs of St. Celuni, on learning this defeat,' precipi-
tately retreated upon Barcelona. Mina alone remains with his
3,000 men at Cellent, where he was, to be attacked yesterday by
•Gen. Donuadieu and the Baton d'Endes. Thus every thing is
• Clear, and it is evident, that if so weak an enemy has been so
long enabled to escape our columns, it has only been by means
Of the mountains and the difficult country which they occupy.
Something was expected from Mina; hitt even supposing
hint
• to have the talent, which he has not shewn, what can he do with
9,000 men ? Can his combats or his marches influence in any
deciSive manner the fate of the Spanish Revolution
Pants, MAY 25.—Whilst the army of the Eastern Pyrenees
will decide the fate of Catalonia, the army of the Duke d'An.
gottleme will decide the fate of the whole of Spain at Madrid.
11Abisbal, on the approach of our troops, published, on the
15th, a sort of printe-d, Manifesto, which we have now before
us, in which he declares, that the men who govern his country
have lost it by their incapacity and their fully; that the Mini.
stets must be dismissed—the Cortes dissolved—the King re.
called to Madrid, and an arrangement made with Frtince...
• After sending forth this Manifesto, he issued a Proclamation,
inviting Madrid to receive the French. That Capital had no
' need of the invitation; it. had • already supplicated the Duke
• ' d'Angoulente to come—to save it from the horrors of anarchy.
It is believed that L'Abisbal is in concert with Dallasteros and
Alorillo. The last letters from Madrid state the almost general
rising of all the provinco of Spain against the Government of
the tortes. if the Royalist Insurrection has reached Seville, it
is possible that the Cortes will have no time to convey the King
to Cadiz. In that case we shall not be astonished to hear- int.
,mediately of the return of Ferdinand to Madrid.
