FRENCH PAPERS.

MADRID, AUGUST 6.

The wishes of the true friends of the Constitution
are at length accomplished. His Majesty has thiS
evening named the new Ministry, agreeably to the
presentations made by M. Lopez Banos, immediately
after his arrival here. They are as follows:
For the Interior, D. Jose Gana, Ex-Deputy ; Ukra-Marine.
M. Vadille, Ez-Deputy ; Foreign Affairs, D. Evariste San Mi-
guel, Major of the Army of the Isle of Leon, Colonel of the
National Armies, and Adjutant-General of the Etat-Major ;
War, Field Marshal D. Michel Lopez Banos; Justice D. Fe-
lipe Benicia Navarro, Ss-Deputy; Marine, D. Dlonissi Ca-
paz, Deputy to the Cones of 1814, Captain in the Navy, and
Secretary of the Admiralty ; Finance, D. *Antonio Martinez ;
the latter having given in his resignation, Ls replaced for the in-
terim, by M. Egea, Director of Finance.
The nomination of the new Ministers affords the
strongest guarantee for the consolidation of the exist-
ing system. The country will have nothing further
to dread from conspiracies like those which have re-
cently placed it in a state t3f jeopardy. There is every
reason to believe that the first acts of the new Minis-
try will be signalised by the assembling of the Extra-
ordinary Cortes, and the appointment of men distin-
guished for their patriotism, as Civil and Militaty
Superintendants of the Provinces. The national opi-
nion is loudly expressed on these two important points.
General Mina, who has just arrived at Madrid, will
lose no time in departing for Catalonia. A great
number of military veterans and patriots claim the
honour of forming part of his army.
M. Fernando Salamanca; Captain of the Ist Batta-
lion of the Royal Guards, has been arrested on the
frontiers, at the moment he was about to embark on
the Bidassoa. Me has been conducted under a strong
escort to Madrid, where he will immediately be
brought to trial. • -
M. Martinez de la Rosa, in quitting the Ministry,
has surrendered to the nation all the sums due to him
since he entered on his functions.

It is said that Quesada has been defeated, after a
sanguinary conflict.
Addresses arrive daily from the various towns in
the provinces; they all breathe the purest spirit of
patriotiirM ; they rejoice at the triumph of liberty over
despotistn, but they deplore, at the same time, the
sanguinary struggles which marked that memorable
day. The Address of Saraggossa is extremely vio-
lent. That of Irtin ii clittatedby the Most enlightened

misguided wretches, that we shall never be disposed

blood of our brethren."

After. M. CR A M ER, the Deputy Procureur-General,
had spoken against three others of the accused, the
Sitting was adjourned.
The proceedings were resumed on the following
day, when M. FLEMIENT, Counsel for Tellier ; and
M. BARTH& Counsellor Guinan!, attacked and re-
futed the allegations and arguments on which the
prosecutor relied. 'The speeches of these two elo-
quent Advocates made a powerful impression on all
who beard them.

M. VI RN EY was afterwards heard in defence of Co-

REPORT CONCERNING THE PRINCIPAL KVE Ts

IN TIIESSALY.

44 We began offensive operations in Thessaly on
the 12th April ; our army was divided into two sepa-
rate columns; the first was to attack Neopatra at the
same time that the other was to advance bn Zeitouni.
The latter, commanded by General Nicetas came by
sea ; it disembarked on the 13th April, in the bay of
Echinon, near Stelida. The enemy soon appeared
with superior forces, and twice beaten, retreated on
Stelida. Pursued even here, it soon sought safety in
Right, and 80 Mahometan Albanians, who had thrown
themselves into two fortified houses to resist the oc-
cupation of the town, were si on, with the houses, a
prey to the flames.
" The same day Odysseus advanced at the head of
a battalion on Santa Marina, a small town of much
importance near Zeitouni, and carried it by, sioem.
" Coutoyanne, who commanded the other eblumn,
advanced againstNeopatt a, defeated the enerriy,whbrn
he met about a league from the town, pursued bim
to the gates, and even burnt a part of the suburbs
where the Turks kept up a fire. At the commence-
ment of the night he returned to his post.
44 On the 14th, Easter-day, the enemy advanced
with all his forces, bringing with him a considerable
park of artillery. At first he marched on Santa Ma-
rina, but after making several useless attacks on this
position he marched to Stelida. He attacked it three
times, and was three times repulsed with considerable
loss. Ills cavalry, which supported the principal
attacks, suffered much more than hik infantry.
" At midnight the troops which occupied. Stelida
effected their junction with Odysseus at Santa Marina.
The enemy, who thought them dispersed, marched
towards this town the ensuing day. A continued
cannonade, well kept up but badly directed, did no
harm; then he advanced to the entrenchment% which.
he thought were defended by only a small number
of men. After three discharges the Greeks attacked
him sword in hand; he beat a retreat and was pur-
sued nearly to the gates of Zeitouni. These opera-
tions were suspended for a few days by another cir-
cumstance. Hassan Pacha, drunk with the blood of
the peaceable peasants whom he had murdered in
Macedonia, in the environs of Naousta, had advanced
on Thessaly, at the head of 10,000 men.- Proud of
his massacres, he threatened to cross the morons
and defiles, to rejoin the army of Joussonf, at Patras.
On April 26th he penetrated to Agrapha. Stergios,
who commanded there, profiting by his confidence,
feigned a retreat After drawing him into the most
difficult situations, he attacked him suddenly. The
carnage was dreadful—mote than half the Turks
were cut in pieces on the spot, and a great number
perished in the retreat. Hassan Pacha, with the ruins
of his army, reached Phanari, which another Tut kish
army had occupied for some time.

"Afterwards the Agiaphistes advanced on Chasia,
a chair& of mountains which connects Pondus with
Olympus; united with Stournane, who commands
in this country, they attacked on May 25, at Keracha,
the Turkish advanced guard, and routed it. On the
27ih, they marched to Plianari. The combat which
ensued there was bloody, and for a long time doubt-
ful. At length the enemy, harassed on his Banks,
took to flight in great disorder, abandoned his camp,
provisions, Ste. lie reached Triccala, which he eva-
cuated two days afterwards to retire to Larissa.
" At noon, on the 22d of May, the Turks in Neo.
patra abandoned the town, from being violently at-
, tacked; they passed the Sperchius, and retreated to.
wards the North.
" From this theiment the enemy 010,011 only of
retreating at a)/ prink ; and, at the beginning of Jtrne,
Thessaly, aS far at Likrissa, was acoated.
