We received. last night the Paris Journals of Sun-
day.—The Journal des Debuts, on the authority of
private letters, states, that the disasters which have
occurred to MINA, have greatly contributed,together
with a want of provisions 'and medicine, to discourage
the garrison of Figueras. MINA, according to these
accounts, is sick, and shut up in the citadel of the
Seo d'Urgel ; his Secretary had fallen into the hands
of General SAINT PRIEST. It is added, that great di-
visions prevail in Barcelona, where the garrison does
not exceed 6,000 men. On the 7th inst. the ships of
war le Trident and le Centaure, and the King's fri-
gate, la Guerriere, arrived in the road of Gibraltar,
where they remained only a few hours, and pro-
ceeded to join the squadron which blockaded Cadiz.

DIADRID, Joss 24, 1823.

MONSILIGNIO4—I have already transmitted to
your Excellency, on the 22d of this month, the copy
of a letter from Count Molitor, relative to the sur-
render of Tortosa. I have now to send you the Re-
port made respecting the same affair, by the Spanish
Marechal de Camp Ramon Chambo to General Mo-
litor. The latter informs his Royal Highness that
he neglects no means fur assembling at Tortosa the
greater part of the forces of the Royalist Chiefs in
the kingdom of Valencia, in order that Ramon
Chambo may make an advantageous diversion in
Catalonia. His Royal Highness has also charged me
to confer, on this subject, with the Regency of Spaip,
that they may .confirm the orders given by Count
Molitor, and hasten their execution. am, &c.
0 The litjor-GeneraL, GUILLEMINOT.
"To M. the Marshal Minister of War." •
RAMON CHAMBO TO COUNT MOLITOR.
" 11nd-quarters, Tortosa, 13th June, 189.3.
MONSEIGNZUR —The commands of your Excel-
lency, communicated to me by the Marquis de Vil-
lores, have been fulfilled. Tortosa, and all her forts,
yield obedience to the King my master.
" This victory, which ensures and facilitates the
conquest of the whole of Catalonia, is the result of a
series of operations difficult to conduct, and such as
are rarely attended with success ; but GOD, who pro-
tects' our arms, has vouchsafed that with 1500 men,
badly equipped, I have been able happily to asscom7
plish this enterprise.
Yotrr Excellency knows the importance of this
place ; deign to give me the means of preserving it,
and undertaking new operations.
"The Marquis de Villores authorized me, in one of
his letters, to offer preferment to those who might dis-
tingui,h. themselves in the taking of Tortosa. I hope,
your Excellency *lll enable me to grant what I have
promis-ed.
" I am using all diligence to place Tortosa beyond
the. reach of a coup-de-inaii on the.part of the enemy ;
and I have only time to say to your Excellency, that
1 am with respect, &C. (Signed)
" RAMON CHAMBO."
