Ig MILITARY GOVERNMENT OF THE KINGDOM OF DOR.

DOVA-LIVE THE ABSOLUTE KING!

EXCZLLENCY !—The fury of the troops of Ballas-
teros cantoned in this province is daily manifested with 'I
the greater violence, in proportion as the joy and love
of the people are more warmly expressed on account of
the deliverance of the King, our Lord, and his Family.
The satellites of that disorganizing faction can no
longer repress the sentiments which animate them, and;
their perfidious design to keep up anarchy and prolong
our misfortunes. As military Commandant of this pr o-I
vince, tette of the principal objects of my attention has
been to watch the conduct and proceedings of these,
men, and to discover their secrets. In reporting to Go-
vernment the result of my measures, I expressed appre-
hensions which have been but too well realized.
" On the 3d of this month the town of Cubra was the
theatre of acts of scandal, violence, and profanation,
committed in presence of Genet al Balanzat, who him-
self instigated those acts, or at least authorised them in
concert with the Liberals, rendered audacious by impu-
nity. On the sth some excesses were renewed a: the
bridge of Dan Gonzalo, and were interrupted by the
consternation and terror, and the transports of joy ex-
cited by the much desired deliverance of his Majesty.
" The Report which I received this morning at three
o'clock, and which I now transmit, will communicate to
your Excellency the details of this horrible aggression,
similar to that perpetrated by the assassin &gavot Ma-
drid. I annex to it the Report of the Commandant of
the column, who left this city to place himself under
the command of General Caro. These two documents
will convince your Excellency of the danger with which
the province is menaced, if energetic measures be not
taken to prevent the explosion, which appears to be im-
minent, and the consequences of which would be incal-
culable. With respect to myself, yielding to no one in
love for my King, I would instantly place myself at the
head of the small force at my disposal, and chastise the
delinquents; but the duties of my situation withhold
me, and check my ardent desire to wash out with the
blood of these rebels the stain with which they-have dis-
graced their country, or to prove, by shedding my own
blood, what a faithful soldier, who has always girded
on his sword with honour. can do for his King. Your
Excellency will render justice to my sentiments, and
appreciate the fears I disclose. I beg of you to make
the conduct of the Constitutional troops known to his
Majesty, in order that he may in his wisdom adopt the
measures which are imperiously called for by a dis-
mayed province. " ANTONIO SALINAS.*
A letter from Perpignan states that Milans left Tar-
ragona, ors the 20th of-September, at the head of 2,000
men. Lloberas, who was retreating before the Baron
d'Eroles, made a sudden countermarch on the 30th,
and attacked the Baron at Sidemont, three leagues from
Lerida. It is said that the Baron's corps, which con-
sisted of about 1,500 or 1,600 men, was roughly handled,
and that he lost 700 prisoners.
Count Pozzo di Borgo, the Russian Ambassador, left
Paris on Wednesday, for Madrid.

(PRIVATE LETTER.)
" The Ist instant, General Rotten, at three P. M. passed
in review the whole garrison of Barcelona; he spoke to.
' all the troops ; he stopped very long before the fine bat-
talion of the 21st of the line, Soria. He told the sol-
diers that he was resolved to defend Barcelona to the
last extremity ; that if, by the events of war, be should
be forced to leave the city, he was determined to retire
to Mount Joui, where he could bury himself under its
ruins, after having consumed all the provisions. He
asked the soldiers if they intended to follow him ? All
answered with one voice, 6 The Constitution or Death:"
