It is stated in a private letter from Paris, dated Sa-
turday evening, on the authority of accounts from
Perpignan of the sth, that one of Romagosa's Aides-
de-Camp had arrived at Puycerda dangerously
wounded. Baron d'Eroles is before Cardona, but will
not be able to make any impression on the place. The
grand park of artillery that was formed at Narbonne
is about to move on Barcelona ; 21 pieces of large
calibre have already reached Perpignan, along with
all sorts of warlike tools. It is thought that the di-
vision of Baron d'Eroles will relieve the division of
Damas before Figueras, and that 'all the French
troops will move on Barcelona. Great talk has been
made at Perpignan of the contract for the transportl
of the cannon, powder, and other articles for the
siege of Barcelona, but as nothing has been done,
after such a long delay, it is thought that the siege
will be put off some time longer.
On the 27th June Colonel San Miguel published
an order of the day, stating that General. Mina hadl
established his head-quarters at. Sans, where he was
det4ined by sickness, arising from his late fatigues.
A report is current on very good authority, of the
arrival of intelligence from Bahia, of an insurrection
among the Portuguese troops in Chat place, on the
50th of May, who had- put General MADEIRA under
arrest, and announced their intention immediately to
abandon the place and-embark for Portugal.
On the 28th of May, General MADEIRA issued a
proclamation, in which the alarming crisis in which
he finds himself is very plainly indicated. It is to
the following effect:
a Inhabitints of Bahia I—.-The crisis in which we are now
placed is dangerous, bosoms the means of subsistence are want.
ing, and there is no eertaiety as to the arrival of provisions. It
is toy duty as General and as Governor to make every sacrifice
for the preservation of this city; but it is also my duty to exer-
cise every precaution, in order that by a case of extreme neces-
sity, I may not be reduced to see the troops I conunand,, the
squadron, and even yourselves, sacrificed. I avail my rU of
every means for fulfilling these two duties. Do not suppose
that measures adopted for security will always be followed by
disasters. The measures to which I resorted alarmed you, but
you have since learned that they were not of an extraordinary
nature. Though yet In the midst of formidable armies, daily
precautions must be taken, because we may not always triumph,'
and it is necessary to prepare, for adverse fortune. You may,
however, be certain' that alltneasures I shall henceforth take wM
be precautionary. It is proper I should communicate with you,
since should it happen that we must abandon this city, many of
you will also leave it; and 1 should be seriously responsible to
rbe Nation and the sing if I did not give you previous intimation.
