We have received this forenoon, by Express, the
Moniteur of Thursday. The following are extracts.
ARMY OF TUE PYRENNEES.

" Ikad-quatters, Madrid, June 12, 1E23.

In consequence of the brilliant affair which the
advanced guard of Ccunt Bout desoult had on the Bth,
before Santa Cruz, the enemy's General, Placentia,
cut off from the high road to Andalusia, threw him-
self into the mountains, where he mustered about 300
horse and 800 foot. Being unable to reach Estre-
midura, except by dreadful roads, there was reason
to believe that he would. attempt to push towards
Carolina, by a road long since deserted. General
Baurdeso.,l!, therefore, t',irected the Duke de Dino,
Commalidant of his advanced guard, to proceed in
all haste to Carolina.

if The Duke reached that place on the 9th, at ten
in the morning. Here he was soon informed that
hatencia's small column had crossed the high road
with..khe view of reaching Jaen by the mountains of
Vilehes ; this intelligence was brought to him by the
iluirter-master Oges, who, left in observation, crossed'
the enemy's column to rejoin his General.
The Duke de Dino having immediately marched
towards %Tildes, came np with Placencia, who was
formed on a terrace, separated from him by a ravine;
he ordered the two companies of voltigeurs of the '2d
fight infantry to attack him, supported by the rest of
the regiment. These companies crossed the ravine
with the greatest impetuosity, and forced the enemy's
infantry to take to flight; hat the three squadrons of
Placencia, formed in a hollow, offered some resit:-
mice to our tirailleurs. The cleisseurs.of the Guard
then promptly. cleared the ravine, formed on the left
of the enemy, and immediately bore down at a gal-
lop upon the infantry, who retreated firing, under the
protection of their cavalry.

" The enemy were immediately thrown into dis-
order ; 260 .oldiers, of whom 40 are horsemen, and II
officers, including a chief of squadron, have been made
prisoners in this affair, which has been conducted with
us much intelligence as vigor by the Duke de Dino.

"The column of Placencia is now totally destroyed ;
unfortunately we have had two men killed And seven
wounded, but none of the latter dangerously.

" By older of 11. It. U. the Major-General,
" Count GUILLEMINOT."

Extract of a private letter from Madi id, of June 12:

" While General Buurdesoult is clearing, without
opposition, the defil,:s of the Sierra Morena, the Mili-
tia of Madrid and Seville have delivered thernselve;
up to divor,lcr. Li the latter city, they have pillaged
the houses of sevei:l Canons, and wiLlied to hang the
Ministers and Counsellors of State.

" Our Liberals deceive themselves, if they imagine
Spain is as they have seen it in the last war. At that
period the priesthood united against us the mass
of the nation ; now they are for us, and we have only to
combat the Constitutionals and their hired defenders.
"Le Locho has assembled several thousands of
peasants, deserters from the corps of BallasterOs
and other Constitutional Chiefs, and it is with these
that he follows and flanks General Botirdesoult.

4, Two battalions of Spanish troops have also been
organized at Talavera de la Reyna, which they left
the day before yesterday to join the column of Estre-
rnadura, commanded by General Bourmont. It thus
appears that our divisions increase as they advance
into the country." • .

The 31oniteur contains also extracts from the Madrid
Gazette of the 12th inst.—These exclusi►ely consist
of addresses of adhesion to the new Regency.
from the Political Chief of the Province of St. Ander,
with the chief officers, and other individuals of that

" most noble, most loyal, and most Catholic city of
Turdesillas, in the Province of Valladoliel," who re-
joice at being freed from "a tyrannical yoke, which
they have borne for three years, two months, and five
days." A third Address is from some individuals of '
Aranjuez ; a fourth from the Municipality of the city
of Valladolid; a fifth from Antoire Ferdinand; and
a sixth- from the Municipality of the town of St.
Ander. These Addresses are all full of congratuk-

,PRIVATE LETTER.
FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT. -
" PARIS, JUNE 19—Fova o'CLecg. P•11*
" Dispatches have reached Government this porn-
ing from Lisbon, announcing that the counter-revo-
lution was complete, the Cortes dissolved, and the
King at perfect liberty. His Majesty has kromised,
to give a Constitution analogous to the merits, wishes,
and habits of the Portuguese nation. Thus all has
been effected without the loss of one drop of blood.
" A letter from Count -GUILLEMINOT, dated Ma-
drid, June 14, announces the perfect tranquillity
of the capital, and'the successes of various corps and
detachments of the army.

" It is said that the Cortes at Seville have proposed
to treat with Count Beaumont, who demanded, as a
preliminary step, the release of the King—the result
is not known:

Bayonne Papers to the 13th instant have been re-
ceived. The following are extracts :

BAYONNE, JUNE 12.

Odr city and the neighbourhood continue to be
encumbered with enormous convoys of provisions,
as if the army would still require for a long time to
receive its subsistence from France. Thirty fourgoes,
each with four horses, arrived here yesterday: they
are said to be the first division of 600, which are pre-
pa:ing with all expedition in the interior, to be sent
to Spain, where they are indispensably necessary for
the service.

The letters from Madrid, which we expected to-
day by the army post, have not arrived. We have,
however, recent letters froni Perpignan and Toulouse,
by which we find that the sudden movement of Mina
has had sno other result (which was probably all he
intended) than to alarm the country, and, by shewing
the necessity if incessant vigilance, to excite terror,
and to fatigue the soldiers
It seems, however, that he has not done any mis-
chief in the several places through which he has
pawed, and that he contented hinsielf with pur-
chasing proviiuns, which he duly paid for : he was
not pursued, and has retreated unmolested, taking
the direction towards the mountain of Duria. We
do not learn that . the troops which had been sent
from Toulouse had yet returned to that City. All
the troops that could be spared from Perpignan were
sent in great haste to Mont Louis, which should
seem to indicate that softie further attempt of Mina
is apprehended in that quarter.

We are much surprised at having no news from
Madrid—we are also very desirous of hearing some-
thing of the motions of the Constitutional General
Manso, mho is said to have brought 6000 fresh
troops to Catalonia, as well as those of l3allasteros,
and of our Corps under General Molitor.

PRIVATE LETTER.
" MADRID. JUNE 4.

si It has been reported that the PortnguesaGOlFFl4-
went refused permission to, the entrance of the Spa-
nish Cortes into their Country, not choosing to have
the war brought upon them. Also that their Consti-
tution will be modified according to the ideas and wish
of the British Minister.

" The Cure Merino with his party has entered Pla-
cencia, about fifteen leagues north of Caceres, so that
from 13.idajoz to Leon, with the exception of Ciudad
Rodrigo, the whole country is Royalist.
" The Fi-uncli call the Constitutionalists I Negroes,'
and the word Constitution seems entirely abolished,
since we never hear it now."

German Papers to the 9th inst. have reached us;
but they contain no article of interest.

STUTTGARDT, JUNE 10.

The German Observer announces its suppression in
a supplement added to its last number.
The Criminal Tribunal of this capital has :en•
ter.ccd the editor of the Gazette de I,Teeker to pay a
file of 20 crowns, and the expense of the process, for
having published a libel injurious to the Editors of
the Suabian Mercury.

The Irish Papers received this morning contain
some further details of the affray at Maghera, of
which we gave an account in the STAR of Thursday.
It is now said that ten were killed, and 60 or 70
wounded. No doubt, the Coroner's Inquest, or some
special inquiry by Government, will ascertain the
aggressors and disclose the particulars of this con-
flict. Every account, however, states that the
Ribbonmen, as the Catholic peasantry are termed,
commenced the affray, by attacking a house fre-
quented by an Orange Lodge, and as the riot pro-
ceeded, the military or yeomanry were called to
suppress it, which was accomplished after the unfor-
tunate result we have mentioned.

This affray at Maghera, which is a small town in
the County of Londonderry, has been the most bloody
of any that has occurred for years; but the means of
attack seem to have belonged to one side only. The
peatantry had no fire-arms, and of course, they suf-
fered severely.—The Beljist Chronicle of Vednesday
says, the psecise number of the killed and wounded
is yet doubtful.—The town of Maghera presented a
most dilapidated appearance; in many places the en-
tire windows have been completely destroyed. Some
arrests are said to have taken place.
The intelligence from the South of Ireland coatis,
nues favourable, in .as far as the instances of out-
rage are greatly diminished. The Rock system,
however, is spreading in ether parts.
