We are at present without any accounts from Co-
sunna of a later date than we gave yesterday, though
we are in hourly expectation of more detailed infor-
mation as to the events which have taken place in
Gallicia.
Some of our contemporaries have affected to doubt
the fall of, Corunna, because the letter announcing
this event, given exclusively in the STAR of yester-
day, was dated Beurdeaux, on the 17th instant.
We can, however, assure them, not only that the
letter was genuine, but that we gave the date cor-
rectly ; though we suspect that it should have been
dated the 19th. In the uncertainty attending
the sailing of packets, it is not mpusual for a letter
to be begun one day and kept open to the last mo.
meat ; nor is the circumstance much to be wondered
at it the writer does not always affix the latest date.

Bayonne Papers to the Nth reached us this morn-
ing. The intelligence, though not of a decisive
charactera is interesting., If the force of DALLAS-
ILK'S is -vAsat is represented, the situation of the
French in Andalusia will be rendered very critical.
The death of MINA is again repeatedac-
counts of yesterday, which were of a later date,

asserted, that be was alive, though dangerously ill:

The acepantl' from Madrid tai that there is consi-
derable fermentation .in that. Capital, er,account of,
1 the successive departure elf troops, and a report, which

is. in circtslation, -*at VIZ hesbl4paertiets wilt be re-
moved to Seville. Should this take place, a very

in check, who will commit.the greatest excesses.
It is reported that 13.411asteros has entered Anda-
lusia with 24,000 men, and that he has been joined
_ .

by the troops of Lopez Banos and Alava. On leaving
the country where he has been for some time, he has
thrown troops into Alicant and Carthagena, and left
numerous guerillas in the country to harass General
Mollitor, who occupies so extensive a tine that he

can hardly undertake anything decisive.
The troops that come now are for the army of re-
serve, under Marshal Lauriston, which is to besiege
Pampeluna, St. Sebastian,.and Santona, as soon as it
is sufficiently strong. With respect to the latter place,
'it seems that the troops of the Faith that blockaded
it have suddenly dispersed, and the French General
'has been obliged to send troops to supply their place.
*The 20th Regiment sets out to-day for Spain.
. Letters from Saragossa say, that a report had been
spread there of the.death of Mina, at Barcelona: there
'is every appearance of this news being false.

this city, is gone to his diocese.

MADRID, JitLY 13.
EXTRACT OF A LETTER.
" It is very difficult to forria a correct idea of the
situation of the Peninsula, considering the violence
of the partieS, and the want of
,authentic accounts,
official as well as private, for everybody sees things
in his own way, an si
it is impossible to fc-rm any cot
sect notion without having some solid data.
" It may be assumed, that there are four different;
isarties in Spain. Ist. The violent Constitationalists,l
which is increased by thosevere menstUes of the Rati'
gency. 2J. The moderate Constitutionalists. 3d.
The viclent and fanatic Royalists. 4th. The moderate
Royalists, the Afrancescdos, who expected a better
order of things, being disappointed in their hopes,
have abandoned the cause of the Regency, and re-.
main neuter ;except settle of the Military, who have
taken arms for the Faith, nay ely to better themselves.
" The first of the four parties is resolved to cent:
bat the enemies of the public liberty, and has in its,
ranks at least 80,000 combatants, that is, including
the garrisons of 30 fortresses which are in its posses.
sion. The second a: desires to see an end put
to the miseries of war by an honourable arrange-
ment. The third hopes for the restoration of abso-,
lute power, with :Lc Inquisition; and she fourth'
wishes to-see dee King governing by wise and reli-
gio'us las4f. The mass of the na:ina are tranquil
spectators of this st4ygle, u1:1: the exception of some
wretches who have been kciLszed by the agents of
the Faith, to raise the cry of absolute power, the in-
quisition, and rr.tuder. lh implacable hatred of.
Elton two parties will tend to prclong the war.
" The Journals of the Regency and the French
Bulletins, do not give sufficient information respect-
ing the military occurrences, and though we reject
the absurd and alarming reports that are circulating
here, it.cannOtbe denied that the French army is in
what military men call a false position, because any
serious cheek asigOt lead to the necessity of era-1
mating the capital and abandoning Andalusia. -
« There is no doubt that the force of Bourdesoulle,
which is sixteen thriasand men, including the Roy.
alists, is sufficient for the present to blockade Cadiz,
hut it is necessary to keep Ballasteros in check, who,
after putting .Alicant and Carthagena in a state of
defence, and leaving a division of 3000 men on
the right of the Xucar,. has marched toWaras Gre-
nada with eight thousand men. Another Constitu-
tional division, of foot' thousand men, is in the pus
vince of Cuenca; its guerillas entered Samo Sierra,
the provinee.of Madrid, and almost to the gates of
the capital : the Royalist slivitiostolliessieres, which
was sent to comhat it, has been completely beaten
near Cuenca, and it has been necessary to send
French troops to support him, while others left Ma-
drid four days ago for Ciudad Real and Talavera, se
that our garrison amounts to little more than 200.0. i s.,
fantry and 400 horse French troops, and a body of
1100 Spanish Royalists,. which: is organizing, but
which will be hardly formed into a regiment, unless
the Duke's treasury pays the expense. .
Badajoa is in a respectable state of.dcfenee, and!
the allied column of 1500 men which•hasseaght to

blockade it, has not been able to effect its purpose.
This fortress has become the point trappui of various
guerillas, which scour Andalusia and Estremadura,
while Ciudad Rodrigo protects the Constitutionalists
of Old Castile, the guerillas of which daily attack
'Salamanca, Zamora, and Toro, make excursions on
the banks of the Douro, and in the plains of Valla
dolid, and seek merely to keep the people in check;
and to harass the garrisons and columns of the
allied troops. ' •
" The communications between the Portuguese Ca-
, binet and the Regency at Madrid art 'iviy-frequent,.
and it seems there is an intentjon:of forming, on the
banks-of the Minho, an eapedition to act against the
Constitutionalists of Gulicia the aceantand of which,
it is said, will be giiren to 'Count Amirante We
know that a reat Royalists Jiiye,c
, grated from Galicia to Portugal, and that it iraleuele•

on the Minho, a kind of Spanisli Committee of the
Faith has been formed, with a view to elate an insist-
rection in the provinces of Tuy and Orense. The
Congtitattional corps which guarded the entrance of
the Asturias have been diminished by desertion, and
obliged to yield after some combats: about 700 have
retired towards Poles the rest to Galicia. Some
bands in Soria and Moja are too weak to oppose doll
Royalist columns, chiefly composed of National
• Guards, some of theai commanded Priests. The
three provinces and Navarre are tranquil.
4, The accoents from Arragon confirm the march
of Monitor towards Murcia, and say it will be diffi-
cult for that General to maintain himself in so exten-
sive a tine. Ballasteros has experienced some deser-
tions in his 'retreat, and it is said to be the Duke's plan
to send against him all the troops that can be spared,
in hopes of destroying him in Andalusia. The re-
port of Mina's death becomes more positive.
" Roten, Milans, Llobera, and St. Miguel, have

•
10,000 men at Barcelona ; it is thought that they will
'suffer the place to be blockaded, and go with their
main force elsewhere:

Brussels Papers to the 23J instant reached us this
motaisg, with the following intelligence:

On the other hand, troops of every description con-
' tinue to be detached from the northern frontiers, to
reinforce the army. in Spain. Among the corps
