rencontret."

ESPANAGUERA, NEAR MARTORELLA, JULY 24.

We learn for certain that the enemy is retreating.
Milans, it is said, is retiring from Tarragona, where
Manso appears to be shot up. Llobera is marching
on Lerida. The fortifications of Tarragona are in a
bad state.

Baron d'Erolles is moving from Manreza on Callat,
with about 2,000 Spanish troops.

FROM TILE QUOTIDIENNE.
PARIS, JULY so.

In carder to refute the insinuations of the Liberals,
relative to the return oC the number of sick each
month in the hospitals of the army, we shall present
an exact table of the altelations that have taken place
in these establishments. The statement that we gave
for the month of May, has shewn the absurdity of
the exaggerations of the. revolutionary Journals on
this point, and has nota little contributed to tranquil-
lize the minds of those families whom they were evi-
dently intended to alarm, by stating that the climate
of Spain and the fatigue of the war had occasioned
numerous maladies in the ranks of our brave soldiers.

The return made by the Quotidienne is from the
15th of June to the 15th of July, and includes the
seven Hospitals of Hernani under St. Sebastian, To•
losa, Aynsoin under Pampeluna, Villa Real, Mon-
dragon, Vittoria, and Irun. The total number of
sick in these Hospitals was 1580, of which •180 had
entered during the month. Of these, it was said, only
12 had died, and 771. had left the Hospitals.

It is reported in the City, on the authority of
letters from Paris, that another sortie has been made
from Cadiz, in which a considerable number were
killed on both sides. It is also said, that the
French had entirely disappeared from the environs
of Cornnna on the 22. d instant.

The papers last received from Cadiz, which reach
to the 14th, disclose a state of things calculated to
encourage hopes favourable to the cause of Spain.
Guerilla corps shell themselves in every spot un-
occupied by the French. Several strong corps are
spread over Estremadura; and in the country between
Madrid and Seville, French couriers are daily- inter-
cepted. The prisoners taken by the invaders fre-
quently escape, and either join some. detachment of
tle regular Constitutional force, or the nearest
guerilla. An active partisan, named JAIME AL-
FONZO, who, at the head of a small party, has for
some time past been harassing the French, and over-
awing the factious in the neighbourhood of Valencia,
is now placed at the head of a strong corps of in-
fantry and cavalry, raised by the exertions of Senor
ABASCA T., the Political Chief of that province. The
friends of the Faith are leaving their standards,
and arc converted into Constitutionalists. Colonel

PAaio, who commanded a detached party in VA.'
lencia, lately joined General BALLAsmans with his
corps, increased by the addition of 1,000 of the army
of the Faith. These men are said to have expressed
their regret for having been misled, and their anxious
desire to turn their arms against the enemies of
Spain. The forces of BALLASTEROS and ZAYAS are
understood to have formed a junction in- the neigh-
bourhood of Grenada. They were rapidly approach-
ing Andalusia; and, on their arrival in that province,
it was thought that unless they received reinforce-
ments, the French would be obliged to withdraw
from before the Isle of Leon. The success of the
French enterprise against Cadiz is considered as hope-
less. The Constitutional papers, in discussing this
subject, observe there are only three ways by which
the enemy can attain his object—namely, by force,
by intrigue, or by famine. In considering these
means, it is observed with respect to the first, that
there is little reason to fear, since all the power
of NAPOLEON could make no impression on Cadiz.
It is true that the French have established a blockade
by sea, but besides that no blockade can be so strict
as to prove completely efficient, the Spaniards still
possess the means of maintaining communications
by land, and obtaining supplies in that direction. As
to the second means, it is presumed that little effect
can be produced by intrigue in a place where the
men who are most compromised in the fate of the
revolution have taken refuge, and where an army de-
voted to the cause is assembled. As to the last re-
source—famine—it is observed, that before the
French can expect to accomplish anything in that
way, they must be masters of the whole of the coast
from Alicant to Algesiras. The Cortes conduct their
Sittings in the usual manner, and deliberate with the
same calmness and firmness which they displayed
in their proceedings before the French army had
crossed the Pyrennees. They lately took into consi-
deration the inconvenience which might arise from
the absence of Deputies, if after the conclusion of the
present Session the permanent Deputation should con-
sider an extraordinary convocation necessary ; andon
the 11th ult. the following Resolution) moved by
Senor Rico, was adopted on a division of 63 against
25—viz. " With the view of preventing the difficul-
ties which may be experienced if there should not be
in this city a majority of the Cortes, it is resolved that
none of the Deputies shall, on any pretext, leave the
Island until the Meeting of the.next ordinary Cortes
for the year 1824."

In the Sitting of the 7th, ou the Report of a Com-
mittee, Army Estimates to the amount of 676,387,951
rvals vellon were voted.

Frankfort Papers to the 26th inst. and Brussels
Papers three days later, reached us this forenoon.—
The following are extracts':

FRANKFORT, JULY 24.

The retirement of M. Le Wangenheim, Minister of
Wirtemberg, at the German Diet, has excited great
sensation in the diplomatic circles. It is a sacrifice
made to the desires of the Plenipotentiaries of the
Sovereigns of the Holy Alliance. The King of
Wirtemberg, however, has testified his satisfaction
with the services of Baron Wangenheim, by giving
him a pension of above 12,000 francs.
An account from Semlin of the 11th says, letters
from Bitoglia, of the SOth June, inform us, that they
expected there, on the Ist July, the Pacha of Scuta,
with 12,000 men. He was to join, at Larissa, the
Scraskier Mahomet Pacha, and to march against the
Morea. The Greeks, however, do not seem to be
much afraid of the consequences of this expedition.
The news of the insurrection of the Greeks in the
South of Thessaly is confirmed. The Turks have
been beaten at Tircola.

We have received letters from Corfu of the ]6th
June, which say, it has been determined, in concert
with the English, that the blockade of the coasts of
Greece extends only to the distance of ten miles from
the shore, and this rule will serve as the basis of the
decisions of the Prize Courts of Hydra and Ipsari.
