. ISPITALPIELDS IrEA PERT

Yesterday the Lords Cothmittee assemblecrstribe
Old House of Lords on the Silk Manufacturer's Bill,
to repeal those regulations called the " Spitalfields
Acts.' There were.only seven or eiBht.Lords pre-
sent, Lords AUCKLAND, ELL/MEC/ROUGH% BEXLEY;
&c. possibly owing to their Lordships meeting earlier
than was generally expected; thityksiset and pro-
ceeded to business at twelve o'clock. Lord Bszt.Eir
was called to the Chair, Lord 14v:carom. being un-
able to attend.

Mr. HA RAISON, &c. attended as Counsel for the
Bill a an 4 Mr. ADAM and Mr.Wit.n, appeared on be-
half of the Journeymen Silk Weavers against the
Bill. The Counsel against the Bill applied for time
to bring forward their witnesses, as, according to the
Standing Orders, evidence was not received until a
Bill had been read a second time and referred to
a Committee. This Bill had not been read a second

time, therefore they did not expect to be called upon
for evidence in the present stage of the proceeding.
They desired that the business might be postponed
till this day week.
The Lords, after some consultation, agreed to re-
port to the House that it was expedient to receive
evidence after the Bill had been read a second time;
after which the Lords Committee had agreed to ad-
journ to Wednesday neat at noon, when Counsel and
witnesses were desired to attend. .

Lord LAUDERDALE appeared in the Committee
when this Report had been agreed upon ; so that it
was too late to remind their Lordships that the Stand-
ing Orders had been waved so as to admit evidence
on the Bill previcusly to its second reading.
There a ere again a good many Weavers in attend,
ante ; but the streets were not so crowded with them
as on former occasions. Besides Committees and De-
putations, it was understood that there were forty
witnesses in attendance, had their Lordships per-
, listed in.calling evidence.--Committee adjourned at
half-past one o'clock.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

Itis forenoon we receiyed the French Papers of
Tuesday, by Express. The Moniteur, in its official
part, contains a Report of Comte BORDESOULLZ.
Lieutenant-General, commanding the troops of the
Expedition to Andalusia, to his Royal Highness the
Duc d'Anootmema, relative to his engagement with
the Constitutional forces at Santa Cruz, announced
in the Official Bulletin we gave yesterday. Of this
Report the following is an abstract :

U MONSEIGNEUR-4 have the honour to inform
your Royal Highness that all the reportstaving con-
firmed to me that General Placentia, who succeeded
Schaleco hi the command of the Constitutional Divi-
sion of La Mancha, and who had retired on the 6th
instant, at eleven o'clock at night, from Manzanares,
on Santa Cruz, after he had taken his position, bad
the imprudence to march from this last point on Al-
magfo, with a battalima and three hundred horse, to
engage the Royalist ttoops commanded by Manuel
Adam,.called Locho.

" This has been confirmed by the report of Locho,
stating, that he was attacked by superior force, and
demanding that I would march to his assistance.—
Instead of yielding to his request, I left at midnight,
on the Bth inst. to march en Santa Cruz, where the
Duc de Dino had orders to meet rue with his ad-
vanced guard. This General Officer, in fact, sur-
rounded Santa Cruz, at half-past two o'clock in the
morning ; but the Constitutional troops having pro-
bably been informed of this movement, had left the
town at midnight, and he only found in the village
a Captain and eight soldiers of the regiment of Al-
manza. This Officer found them occupied with pre-
paring accommodation fur the column of Placentia,
r. hick had been recalled by my movement. The Duc
de Dino made dispositions for opposing his passage,
-but as several soldiers escaped on the route to Elmo-
ral, I doubt not but that Placentia had taken that of
Elviso. I ordered, in consequence, that the Duc
should advance rapidly on the column which had
taken the route to Andalusia, and to destroy it. I
made, at the same time, the brigade of dragoons,
Commanded by the Marshal-de•Camp Canguan, to
march rapidly on Elviso.
" The Out de Dino coming up with the enemy
near Vanillo, and finding them in a position difficult
to force, ordered Conae d'Arsoult to attack his left
on his flank, and, at the same time, that two other
squadrons of Chasseurs charged him in front. These
several attacks were made with such unity and impe-
tuosity. that the artillery, which was already formed,
had not time to fire before the infantry charged,
without forming in a square, as was intended. All
was over in the twinkling of an eye (an din (wit).
A standard, which I have charged my Aide-de-
Camp to present to your Royal Highness, 600 pri-
soners of infantry, 50 of cavalry, 18 Officers, two
pieces of cannon, three waggons, much baggage,
and a military chest, containing 17,000 francs, are
the result of this brilliant affair of the 4,dvanced-
guard. in which all the troops have strewn an ardour
beyond expression, all being eager for the combat."
The Report then proceeds to call the attention
of his Royal Highness to the Officers, one of whom
is stated to have taken the standard from forty men'
who guarded it, and to have made the bearer prisoner,
and others who performed feats equally extraordi-
nary. The Prince de CARIGNAN if said to have at-
tacked the rear-guard of the troops of Placentia, and
made 50 prisoners? "Thus (says the Count), the troop
which consisted of four or five hundred men, and was
pompously called the Division of La Mancha, exists
no longer ; 150 men only, after having sustained a
charge, in which they left 30 prisoners, had two offi-
cers killed, and many men wounded,have fled to carry
the news of their defeat to Seville, where I shall ar-
rive not later than the 22d." The Count states that
he has not to regret the loss of any person: he has
had very few men slightly wounded, and has lost
some horses, which have been replaced by those
taken from the Constitutional cavalry.
The Report is dated Santa Crux, June 9, and is
countersigned by Count GIIILLEMINOT.

PARIS, JUNE 17.
gitOlt THE CONSTITUTIONNZL.
The Ministerial Evening Papers announce that the
Gazette extraordinary of Madrid, of the 7th of June,
states that General Edmond Perigaud had surprised,

at Santa Cruz de Mudela, and at Viso, in the Sierra
Morena, 2,000 men, whom they made prisoner,.

NEWS FROM tHE FRONTIERS OF SPAIN.

The Journals of Toulouse of the 11th inst. publish
the following official information :
" On the 7th inst. at six o'clock in the morning,
Mina left Osseja, Pallau, Age, and Sasperdun, which
he occupied, with his forces, and marched for Car-
dona, by the mountains. He was pursued in that
direction for two hours by two French companies;
and two companies of the corps of Romagosa.

u Baron agYNAUD."

The Echo estimates the force united under the or-
ders of Mina, which marches in two columns, from
four to five thousand men, and it is assured they are
accompanied by a ionvoy of 100 to 120 mules, car-
rying empty sacks.
PERPIGNAN, JUNE 9.

We do not expect until to-morrow positive news
of Mina, either from Cerdagne or Olot. In the
interim we have accounts from the inhabitants of the
above country, who arrived here this day. Mina
caused the Municipalities of Osseja and Pollan to be
called to him, demanding of them provisions; after
which he put himself in march, on the 7th, by• the
Col de Roses : it is believed he is going to Figueroa.
It is also said, that Mina, • on his march, exchanged
troops at Cardona and Seu, which he is also going
to do with the garrison of Figueroa, and by which
means he will always have fresh troops with him.
According to accounts from Barcelona, that town
enjoys the greatest tranquillity, and is• continually
provisioned by small vessels entering the harbour.
On the Ist of June an English brig appeared off
this coast, and was hailed by the Commandant of
the French squadron, but did not obey the first or
second cannon which was fired, accordingly several
boats went after her and brought the brig alongside
of the French Admiral: this took place in the presence
of the population of Barcelona, and the English
Consul, who said that the blockade of Barcelona had
not been officially announced to his Government,
and it is said he immediately dispatched a courier to
the English Aqibassador at Seville on the subject.

The French have evacuated Praga arid Balaguer:
Ballasteros, who marched on Valencia to raise the
siege, has returned to the frontiers of Arragon, after
having reinforced his corps with 5,000 men, part of
which were conscripts, and the remainder old troops,
by which means he has now with him 16,000 men.
This General enjoys great confidence in the provinces
of Catalonia, Valencia, and Arragon, and the Consti-
tutionalists have great faith in him. The corps of
Ulman has retired to Arragon.
