MADRID, SEPTEMBER 2.

The movement of General Bourcke to cut off the
retreat of the Constitutional troops coming from
Orense, has been attended with great success.

The enemy has sent a flag of truce with proposi-
tions. Government has received newt from Cadiz
of the 27th August. The King and Royal Family
were in good health. The King took an airing; a
vast concourse of persons went out to see him, and
the acclamations were general with Vive le Rol!
without the epithete of Constitution. General Valdes,
alarmed at these transports of joy, advanced his
trpops against the multitude, but no accident hap-
pened, except the death of a boy. -General Bonne-
main has marched on Malaga to drive away Riego,
and it is repotted that this famous revolutionist has
saved himself by going to Africa.

" REPORT Or MARsHAL THE DUKE OF CORNECLIANO

TO HIS EXCELLENCY THE MINISTER OF WAR.

" Torredembarra, August 50.

66 MONSEIGNIUR—Wishing to ascertain correctly
the nature of the obstacles which opposed the block-
ade of Tarragona, round which the enemy occupies
several strong positions, I decided on a general
reconnoissance.

" The affair which had taken place at Altafulla
did not alter my arrangements, and the troops
marched on the 28th. 1 directed the movement of
those on Valles in person, and General Berge com-
manded the troops which marched from Altafulla.
" The hour of marching was so fixed that all the
troops might reach the points assigned to them at the
same time.

4, The brigade of Tromelin, consisting of the 16th
and 60th regiments of the line, a squadron of the 6th
hussars, and another of the 18th chasseurs, and two
field-pieces, marched en Mount Olivo.

" Ten companies of the Bth of the line, with two
field-pieces, and the troops of the Royal Spanish di-
vision, marched under the orders of Baron d'Eroles,
towards MaJona de Lerito.

" General Berge proceeded in the same direction,
with the brigade of Achard, consisting of the 18th of
the line, and the Ist light infantry.
" General Montgarde marched from Altafulla by
the great road, with ten companies of the 31st.of the
line, two battalions of the 3d, commanded by Gene-
ral Fautin des OJoarte, the Gth regiment of mounted
chasseurs, and two pieces of cannon.
" A cannonier of the enemy fired a few shots on
this column, but he was soon silenced by the dis-
charge of our artillery.
The position of Maduna de Lerito was occupied
by the enemy; and at nine o'clock in the morning
had ordered it to be attacked. The company of vol-
tigeurs of the Ist light infantry, and the advanced
guard of Baron d'Erolei approached it first by two
different points, and were supported by the Ist light
infantry, led by its Colonel, Baron Revel, when they
pursued the enemy. This regiment carried succes-
sively two breastworks, which the enemy had occu-
pied with considerable force—the one between the
sea and Lorito, the other between the latter point and
Tarragona.

" The ten companies of the Bth regiment of the
line assisted in the second attack. General-Fleury;
Commander-in-Chief of the Engineers, and General
Deprez, Chief.of the Staff, marched at their head,
with the Colonel of the Bth.

" The troops were neither arrested by the fire from
the garrison, by the steepness of the declivities they
had to descend, nor by the rocks they had to climb
over. During this attack two companies of volti-1
geurs of the itoyal Spanish troops, and one battalion
of the 16th of the Line, which I .had dispatched to
move on the flanks and rear of the enemy, hastened
his retreat. The brigade of Tromelin, with some
Spanish and French, expelled the enemy from the
fort of Mount Olivo, notwithstanding they were ex-
posed to a brisk fire from the town and the fort.
" On all the points our columns approached, from
the ramparts to the gates, they maintained their po-
sition, until the, object of the reconnoissance was fully
attained.

Between three and four o'clock I ordered the re-
treat, which was conducted with as much order as
the attack.

The enemy attempted to disturb the brigades of
Tromelin and Achard, but he was briskly repulsed,
and cured of pursuing us by an ambuscade formed by
a Colonel of the Ist infantry.

In the evening the troops returned to their respec-
tive positions. Our loss has been 17 men killed and
86 wounded. It is certain that the enemy, in the af-
fairs of the 27th and 28th. has had 100 killed and
more than 500 woimded.—l have the honour, &c.
Marshal Due de Corutgliano, MONCEY."

TOLOSA, AUGUST 20.
For the last three weeks we have seen nothing piss
through here but pieces, of artillery, cannon balls,
bomb shells, and obuses. The siege of Pampeluna
will be 'terrible. It is said the firing will only take
place during the night, and will be incessantly kept
up till morning. The besieged have had. the boldness
to declare that they will receive no more flags of
truce. They are in no want of provisions, having
enough for a year. Nothing new from the blockade
of Santona. The Trappist is still at Vittoria. -

FROM THE JOURNAL DE TOULOUSE, SEPT. 1.

PUYCERDA, AUGUST 27.

From what we hear from La Seu, the Governor
Vigo is not disposed to surrender. Yesterday, at two
o'clock in the morning, the batteries recommenced
firing, and the shells fell so thick upon the town that
several houses have been injured. It is announced
that 200 men of the division of Santos Ladron have
arrived there; they were expected for some days back.
