means endeavoured to attain since the conclusion of
I have given orders that the Constituted

the districts on the other side of the Vistula have 1
begun to breathe a little front the effect of the heavy

and supplies, both before and during the evacuation
of the country. This short interval I shall employ, ,
a ':,tarney to St. Petersburgh, in consequence of

PARIS, DECEMBER 47. ' •
General Gouvion St. Cyr, who commands the 7th
corps of the army in Spain, marched on the 7th for I
Barcelona, to form a junction with General Duhesme,
and subsequently to continue his route for Valencia.
The 3th corps, under the command of the Duke of
Treviso (Monier), reached Logrono on the 12th, and
was to be in front Of Saragossa on the 15th. The
miners and besieging artillery entered Tudela on the
12th. Immediately after their arrival, Saragossa, to
prevent the unnecessary loss of lives, will be invested,
and neither a bombardment nor mines Will be cm- '
played, unless the obstinacy of the inhabitants should
render it absolutely necessary to resort to such extre-
mities against a city which has already steered so
much.
The corps of Marshal the Duke of Elchingen ar-
rived at Madrid on the 11th, and *as to occupy the
quarters which the Duke of Dantaic quitted onl
marching off the day before.
It was reported at Madrid at the above date, that
in consequence of the defeat of the insurgents at Ca-
parosa, Tudela, Catalayud, and Guadalaxara, scarcely
6000 of their great army then remained in one body.
A letter from Avila, dated December 12, says—
" The greatest tranquillity prevails in Old Castile.
We send supplies of provisions to the Escurial, and
we ardently wish that all the other provinces of the
kingdom enjoyed the same happiness."
The following letter from Count Florida Blanca
to the Marquis de la Romana has been intercepted :
Aranjurz, November 18.
44 My ninth esteemed and worthy friend, I sin-
cerely sympathize in all your regret. Nothing eau
express the wretched condition in Which we find our-
selves placed. In the midst of our misfortunes, we
learn that O'Neil and Saint Marc, on the morning of
the llth, took possession of Caparosa, after it was
encuated by the enemy, who occupied a mote ad-
vantageJus position. We wait for the further parti.
culars of this event. At present the great object is to
unite our forces with the English army, if it be possi.
ble to effect such a junction. lam not certain that
my letter will not fall into the hands of the enemy, as
they occupy almost all the roads. My health is in-
firm, as might naturally be expected in an old man
of 80; but my good spirits never, forsake me."

TURKEY.
Dutch papers to the sd instant have arrived, which'
contain some farther particulars respecting the insur-
rection at Constantinople. MUSTAPMA BAIRACTAR,
appears, is not dead, as stated in the first ac-
runts. He effected his escape, carrying the reign-

harbour ; from which, at the 'date of the latest ac-

Of the town as were occupied by the -insurgents-
Respecung the event of such a contest, it is impossible
