A slonscigneur—On t►e 13th in the evening, a third sortie
was nude front the Ina, at Nu china, on two parts of our line;

one of the columns moved on Santa, but halted in the middle of
the plain, under the cannon of the place ; the other moved on
Hoene, to turn our left at Gracias. Count Curial sent against
the latter column, which consisted of about 1,200 mcn, some
companies he had at Gracia.; but two battalions soon came up,
tie 3d of the 3241, asmiehr 110.4t4b.410th, ammandea by the
Colonel of the 60th, Vicomte Munch d'Uzer. These battalions,
takidg the enemy in flank, soon put them to the rout, and
pursued them under the walls of the place, with shouts of
Vive le Red !'

" The enemy had about twenty men wounded, while we had
but three.

" Count Curial speaks highly of Colonel d'Uzer and Colonel
de Tolose, Chief of the Staff of the fifth divhion. These raw
Officers led on their men with great bravery and intelligence. _

Colonel d'Uzer could scarcely restrain the impetuosity of
our troops; and mentions among those who particularly distin-
guished themselves, Capt. Attielas, 3d battalion of the sd; Lieut.
Arne!, of the 60th ; Corporal Lecler, 4th company, Ist battalion
of the 60th ; Corporal Chanez, light company of the 34d ; and
private Delahaye, same regiment : the two latter were wounded.

" MADRID, JULY 16.
" An Officer has this Moment brought the intelli-
gence that a smart action had taken place between
our troops and General Quiroga, who has been com-
pletely defeated. General Huber, who commands
the vanguard of General Bourck's division, has taken
possession of Ferrol, and is at a short distance from
Corunna, which, it is said, has shut its gates against
Quiroga, and awaits the French General to open them.
4, Yesterday afternoon his Royal Highness the
Duke of Angouleme reviewed all the troops of the
garrison, French and Spanish. The fine order of
this corps has obtained the admiration evert of those
individuals known for their Constitutional opinions.
They will be the first to admit that the tyrants of
Cadiz are without hope.
44 Abril, Chief of a Constitutional corps, after being
routed by the Portuguese cavalry, has fallen into the
hands of the brave Merino. He has been sent, with
his brother, prisoner to Segovia.
All the roads in the kingdom of Grenada are
covered with deserters from the ci-devant army of

Ballasteros. These unfortunate beings, without food
or clothing, inquire after the places occupied by
French troops, for the purpose of enrolling themselves
under the colours of the King.
Ballasteros, with the feeble remains of his army,
is wandering among the mountains.. It is thought
that he is near Las Penas de San Pedro. Two Royalist
Chiefs are in pursuit of him."

VITTORIA. JULY 9.
The army before Pampeluna is very strong, and the
materiel immense. The siege cannot be of long dn•
ration, as the garrison is weak, and not well disposed.
AX., JULY 15.

We learn from Braga, that on the gth inst. between
five and six o'clock in the evening, the Governor of
the castle of Cardona having gone to the town, the
Colonel of the Regiment of Siguensa took advantage
of his absence to hoist the white flag, and cry rive
le Roi, in which he was joined by the whole garrison.
The Governor hearing a shout se Inimical, hastened
back towards the castle, and, when he reached its
walls, he exclaimed Five la Constitution. The
soldiers were at first silent ; but a Corporal cried
out Five noire Colonel r when the cries of Five k Roi
being repeated, the Governor, accompanied by the
militia, took to flight. On the next day the uncle of
Baron d'Eroles, with the troops blockading the
place, joined the garrison.
The reduction of this fort, though small, is of
the highest importance to the campaign in Upper
Catalonia, which by this event alone will be freed.

BAYONNE, JULY is.

As none of the summonses to the Governors of St.
Sebastian or Pampeluna have been listened to, pre.
parations are making for attacking these places in
great force. In consequence, several Officers of
Engineers have received orders to repair, immediately,
to these places, to commence the siege.
Letters from Andalusia state, that great confusion
prevails in Cadiz : the levies of contributions are ex.
travagant, •and yet neither the soldiers nor the em-
ployes of Government are paid. The peciple are
discontented.
The last accounts from Madrid state that General
Molitor was marching from Murcia on Grenada.
Ballasteros was retiring with 8,000 men on St. Rock.
The whole of Jaen isfreed from the revolutionary yoke.

ST. MARII, *Let it.
We are in cantonments at St: Marie and Chiclana ;
the Constirationalists do not appear disposed to make
sorties, but they often fire at random and direct their
cannon at objects beyond their reach.
On the Bth instant a Spanish vessel arrived here,
which had landed a great number of Royalist 015-
cers and soldiers, who had been taken prisoners
at Madrid in the affair of the 7th of July.--
After having been shut up in that capital for nine
months, they were transferred to Cadiz, where they
remained two months, and would have been sacrificed

on the scaffsad of the Revolution, had not the Con-
stitutional Authorities feared that their execution
would have caused an entire revolt among the inba-
bitants of Cadiz, who are already so discontented.
They were then embarked for the Isle of Leon, where
they were to be shot; but, during this short passage,
the prisoners found means to break their chains and

make themselves masters of the vessel, with which

they joined the French squadron.
The Captain-General of Andalusia has arrived
here, with two battalions of the Royal Spanish Guard.
The Prince de Carignan, and Lieutenant-General
Bourdesoulle, have paid a visit to Admiral Hamelin,

on board his ship.
Count du Nouvion, Aide-de-Camp of General
Bourdesoulle, has been sent to-day with a flag of
truce, but his dispatches only were received. The
Constitutionalists have also sent a flag of truce, but
it is not known what the object of it is.
The road from St. Marie to Madrid is quite free.
We have not had a single courier intercepted.

EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER PROM MADRID,

DATED JULY 14.

cc We continue to receive the most satisfactory re-
ports from all points of the Peninsula. The blockade
of Cadiz is more strict; our artillery are instructed
not to direct their firing near the residence of theking.
44 Ordeis have been given that the City shall not
be tampered with, and that if Cadiz does not soon
submit, the bombardment shall immediately take

place. There remains a very numerous party of
Royalists in this citadel of warfare and of commerce;
it is known, besides, that the Liberals are divided,
and it is certain that they do not wish either their
warehouses or houses to be burnt.
“ The last measure of the Cortes, as culpable as it'
was ridiculous, has given the death-blow to the Coe.
stitutional party.
is It is reported that some troops, together with a
Portuguese squadron, will appear before Cadiz.
le The hot weather begins to be felt, but it has no
effect on the health, courage, or hilarity of our gal-
lant troops.
41 We learn, from Lugo, that Quiroga, in concert
with the Authorities at Corunna, bad resolved to at-
tack Mon'llo with the six hundred men left. He is
waiting for some artillery to destroy what has been
done by the Count de Carthagena, and force him to
acknowledge the Regency of Seville. It is, however,
far more probable that he is merely waiting for the
['arrival of the steam-boat at Corunna, to escape falling
jaw the hands of the French: perhaps, indeed, Mo-
rino, if be marches onward with the advanced guard,
will save this hero the trouble of meeting him.
The Trappiste has fixed his head-quarters at Lo-
grono ; and in his simple Proclamation, which. how-
ever, is replete with religious sentiments, he has, in
:the name of his captive Sovereign, invited all the'
'young single men, who de not belong to any corps,
'to come forward in order to constitute a corps to be
called his Majesty's Loyal Volunteers, for the pur-
pose of defending, under his command, the cause of
GOD and the Throne.
Since Palarea and Campillo have withdrawn in the
greatest disorder from the Asturias, the following
particulars have reached us :—Palarea lost in the port
of Pajares two entire companies of the regiment of
Grenada, of whom several that belonged to the bat-
talion of Seville were killed ; and two other com-
panies of the regiment of the Constitution went over
to the French. At Hissicissioso, where the troops had
entered with fixed bayonets, he lost the greater part
of the Bilboa Militia, who were with the National
mops. At Rivadeo eleven ships,- laden at Gijon,
with goods belonging to the Treasury, ammunition,
and having on board some wounded volunteers, as
well as a great number of passengers, all bound for
Corunna, sunk in consequence of contrary winds ;
among the passengers was Seoane, the Political Chief
of Bilboa. Some soldiers, who had escaped in the
most deplorable plight, have already arrived at
vadeo, to the number of 160 ; but the wounded inkhe
affair of the 2Sd of June had not, on the 2Sth,:liA4
their wounds dressed."
We learn from the frontier that several esspipere.
Officers, and Constitutional soldiers, had followed the
example set by General Sarsfield, and surrendered at'
the head-quarters of Marshal Moncey.

.; Papers and letters have been received kali Madrid
tb the 17th inst. by express.' The Madrid Gazette of
that date contains a decree of the Regency for
establishing anniversary honours to the memory of
General ELLIN who was executed last autumn in Va-
lencia, the scene of his cruelties and oppressions. The
same Gazette containson account of the presentation

olthe Mini= and Prussian Envoys to the Regency;
and tbespeeches which their Excellencies made on the
gccasioa. There is nothing In these speeches of the
twoXtorthern Ambassadors; or in the answer to them,
which goes beyond what appeared In those that passed
between the French Ambassador and the Regency.
The severe captivity of FiRDINAND is lamented, and
his speedy liberation hoped for and predicted iti all.
The private letters from Madrid of the 17th are ,
more important than the Gazette. Accounts had been
received from Port St. Mary of the 13th. The
blockade of Cadiz had then begun to be more rigorous.
Two vessels that endeavoured toenter with provisions
had been sunk by the cannon of the Vrenakblockading
squadron. It was calculated that in ten or twelve
days a bombarding flotilla would be formed for
