EXPRESS I ROM PARIS.

This forenoon we received the Etoik of Tuesday,
with the following important Telegraphic Dispatch,
received at Calais late that evening.

TELEGRAPHIC DISPATCH FROM PARIS.-
" CALAIS, JULY 12, Note 09CLOCX,

" Agreeably to the Convention concluded on the 4th instant
between General Molitor• and Ballasteros, the latter, with the
troops under his orders, has acknowledged the Regency. Bar-
lasteros has also issued orders to the Generals and Governors of
places in the whole of his Government, to recognize the Re-
gency. Hostilities on both sides having ceased, the army of Bal-
lateros, about 7,000 strong, has gone into the cantonments as-
signed to it."

FROM Tilt ETOTLE.
PAIIIS, AUGUST 12

CAROLINA, AVG. 6.—The defection of General
Ballasteros, who has submitted to the Royal autho-
rity, has deprived the factious of their last hopes.
This important event is the result of important corn-
binations of his Roj al llighness the Duke d'Angou-
lenie, seconded by the matiteuvres of General Molitor
and the valour of his troops, who matched several
nights to place General Ballasteros between the divi-
sion of Molitor and his own. The Prince arrived at
Carolina, in the Sierra Morena, where he was imme-'
diately joined by Count Larochefoucault, his Aide-
de-Camp, bringing him the news from Granada of
thecapitulation of Balissteros. •
•
General Ballastems, in his capitulation, demanded
to preserve his rank, and made the same deciand for
all the military under his command.

SAINT MARTI, AUGUST 6.

BLOCKADE OF BAncnosA.—Twelve hunJred in.

fantry, three hundred cavalry, and two pieces of can-
non were sufficient to repulse the sortie on. the 30th.
51ilans and Llobera are in a dangerous situation.,

Manso has submitted with about two or three
thousand men, and is going to give up Tarragona; this
news, which I believe to be true, still wants con-
firmation.

We have received, by an extraordinary convey-
ance, Madrid Gazettes of the 7th. Cadiz becomes
more and move surrounded : discontent begins to
manifest itself, not only amongst the inhabitants,
but also amongst the troops.
We learn a new trait of revolutionary ferocity—
the Director of the Post at Saint Roque- has been
arrested and shot, by an order of the cruel Ordoynez,
for having expressed his opinion of a Royalist.

ODESSA, JULY 22.
(ZITRAOSDINA ST CONVIYANCr).

On the 13th of this month a fire broke out in the
neigh!-• urhood of Costini, which reached to the arse-
nal ; 2500 houses were consumed ; soon after the fire
caught the arsenal, the Turks had the mortification
to see consumed a ship of the line of 74 guns, two
corvettes, five brigs, and 110 vessels of all sizes:

The following Extracts are from such of the French
Journals of Monday as had not previously leached
us by Express:—

" Villa Franca, August 2.

MONSUONEUR—GeneraI Curial writes me, that
on the 80th of July, at four o'clock in the morning,
the enemy presented himself on the extreme left of
the line of investment of Barcelona, with 5,000 men,
six pieces of cannon, and 80 horses. These forces
were directed on St. Marti. Their. right was sup-
ported by six gun-boats. A brisk fusillade took
place from the sea-shore to the village of Clot.

" The 6th Light Regiment, seconded by the s3d
Chasseurs and two pieces of lighvartillery, attacked
the enemy with the accustomed bravery. He was

forced to make a retrograde movement •on several

points.
" Two pieces of artillery, under the Orders of
Lieutenant Carnot, advanced by the road of the shore
Within half-gunshot, and fired with constant success
on the enemy's artillery and-cavalry, and on the

gunboats. The firing was very brisk at Clot.—
General Curial tells me that he led a battalion of the
19th, which he caused to be preceded by his chosen
companies. The enemy, being thus taken in flank,
was put to the rout on this point. Our soldiers pur-
sued him to the very walls of the citadel. The battle
lasted several hobrs : the enemy, repulsed with the
greatest disorder, had 12 or 15 killed, and a hundred
wounded. Our loss was four killed and 12 wounded.
" According to all accounts, Mina, whose health
is still bad, is yet at Barcelona. The investment of
that fortress by land is complete. Milans and Llo-
beta, who were moving rapidly by Mont Blanc
towards Santa Colonna and the Col de Santa Chris
tina, appear to have directed their march towards
Tarragona, on being informed of ours on Ignalada
and Villa Franca. It is affirmed that a great deser-
tion has taken place among the militia."

BEFORE ST. SEBASTIAN, AUGUST s.
Besieging artillery is arriving continually at Erna ni ;
156 pieces of ordnance are about to invest the fortress
of Pampeluna, and will be followed by 24 compa-
nies of artillery..

They speak of the Assembly of 10,000 men under
the walls of Pampeluna, in order to commence ope-
rations. It is thought that the trenches will open
towards the middle of September. .

Many copies of the capitulation of Ferrol have
been thrown into the fort of St. Sebastian, by order
of the Lieutenant-General commanding the blockade.
A young soldier was appointed to place these papers
on the ramparts. Having attached them to the end
of a pole, he advanced, favoured by the night, to
the foot of the glacis, and returned to his post with-
out being perceived. He was distant forty paces only
from the covered way.
• Yesterday Lieutenant-General Count Ricard sent a
letter to the:Governor of &. Sebastian, to which no
reply had ham received.
In war events occur which are not believed, be-
cause they appeal improbable, which may, however,
be true. Thaewhich happened in the camp two days
ago, is a proof of it—a shell was thrown from the
fort, which alighted at the foot of the tent of an Of-
ficer. withbut bursting. 'This bomb had encountered
the branch of a tree, which had struck off the match
and filled up the aperture. Two days before a simi-
lar thing occurred in the suburb of St. Martin—a
bomb fell in the middle of a pile of aims, destroyed
six muskets, anti threatened the lives of a great num-
ber or soldiers reclined iiroluid them, without hurt-
ing any one. • •
• PARIS, AUGUST. It. •

Letters received from Madrid, by Estafette, yes-
terday, up to the sth inst. announce, that the news of
the defeat of Ballasteros was public there.
A Bulletin from the Major• General is expected to-
morrow, which it is hoped will contain the submis-
sion ofGeneral Ballasteros, which has been announced
in the Telegraphic Dispatch.
It is rumoured• that Ciudad Rodrigo offers to.ca-
pitulate. Various small bands which have fled from
our armies are giving themselies up in all parts—a
fact which arinowices the complete disiolution of the
forces of the Cortes.

According to-the last -advices from Barcelona, that
place had been amply supplied with piorisions. Be-
fore the resources of the city and neighbourhood
were ascertained, some apprehensions were enter-
tained that a place, containing at present 160,000
inhabitants, might experience a scarcity of provisions,
if the Trench undertook the siege in good earnest,
and brought • an adequate force before it, which
must be at least equal to 20,000 men ; but this ap-
ptehension is now entirely removed, so great have
been the exertions in all quarters. As many useless
persons as possible have been removed from the town,
and all the rich families have been enjoined to lay in,
for themselves and all their dependents, a stock fully
equal to six months consumption, renewable as fast
as corsumed. The order has been readily obeyed,
and numerous individuals who had funds laying by
them idle, and newer dreamt of carrying on any
trade, have invested them in provisions, for the pur-
pose of retailing. them out to the inhabitants, at a
moderate rate, in case this Sewn should be pressed.
Besides, there is always in the public storechonses a•
stock kept up by constant renewal at the same
amount, of which the following is a correct account:
Wheat, 100,000 quarters ; flour, 79,000 quintals'
(100 lbs. each); salt fish, 20,000 quintals ; peas,
beans, &c. 79,000 quarters ; pickled tumey fish,
3,800 pipes; oil, 500,000 cuartales ; rice, 30,000
quintals; fire-wood, 400,000 quintals ; besides pulse,
hay, straw, barley, &c. Of 'which the quantity is im-
mense. The fortresses are filled with provisions, and
a constant stock of cattle, sheep, Sm. is kept up. All
the ditches of the walls, as well as the gardens of the
convents tad private families, in short, every portion
of spareground,hasbeen planted with potatoes, which
in three months will yield a crop equalto 50,000 quin.

In the Barbadoes Globe of the 12th of-June, which
has hien received, 'we find the following .

such false reports: had they been true, I must have been tt..e
first person to have been made atquainted with them by Lit
Majesty's Government; and any intelligence which might in any
respect have been beneficial to them would .have been inure.
diately publicly proclaimed for their informati;sit;ies the cut.e

manner, and with the same kind feelings, with which I now de-
clare to them, that the rumour of: a 'speed y eniaFirreitltiirit Vv.-;
and that all persons who may. fill their minds with sOch
hood* must be their enemies, and. wish to urge them to miscon-
duct, whizh would entirely put an ecd to the tweefit-otherwiie
to be expected from any ltir.d intentions toward. them.
