Ballasteros has written to the principal Members
of the Cortes at Cadiz, and that he is answerable than

Madrid enjoys the greatest trangOillity:
ENVIRONS OF SRU, AUGUST 3.

It is said that it is not upon Lerida, but to the
camp at Tarragona, that the Constitutional army,
commanded by Milan: and Lloberas, is marching,
since k has been driven from the position it took by
the sortie of Ignalada. It is said the army could not
be re-united until it reached Targa, and that it had
suffered considerable loss.

This defeat has thrown the Governor of the forts
of Urgel into despair. He had announced to the
garrison, that eight days ago Milan: was near
and that he was marching towards Seu, to raise the
blockade. We are assured that he assembled the
principal officers, and that in the,countil which he
held the question was discussed, whether they should
hold a parley, not with Romagosa, but with sl,e
Colonel commanding the 2d regiment of the French
in the environs. A corporal of artillery, who had
deserted some days ago, declares, that the garrison
is short of ammunition, and that it is impossible it
can hold out any timt.

The day before yesterday some companies of the
corps of Romagosa approached the walls of the forts,
and commenced a brisk fusillade, which they con-
tinued for two hours. The Constitutionalists did not
make any sortie, but returned the fire only from be-
low the walls : two or three Royalists were wounded.

CERVERA, JULY sS.
- A French Officer, attached to a Spanish battalion,
left, on the 4th instant, the blockading army before
Pamplona with a detachment of 100 men, under
the orders of Vicomte de la Bat the, to repair to
Tu-
dela, where they joined the garrison on the 15th. Oa
the next evening, at seven o'clock, they proceeded to
attack the partizan Montilla, at Cervera, which he
occupied with 80 horse and 500 bad subjects who
had joined him.
After a fusillade of three hours, the enemy, re-
pulsed on all points, fled, and took up a position eight
leagues from the field of battle. We have not lost a
man, but the Constitutionalists had 20 men woanded.

Several other minor affairs are recapitulated, in
which the Constitutionalists are said to have been
defeated.

This fkimmoonive received a Lisbon Mail, bringing

petite:nal of the Royalists had led to some excesses
in the Northern Provinces, which, it was feared, might
produce a re-action. The Portuguese are, therefore,
cautioned not to be guilty of any acts which may
call far the interference of the Monarchs of the Al-
liance, who are ey resolved not to allow, in the States
of Europe, any germ of public disturbances, and to
restore them all to obedience to their legitimate Go-
