MADRID, SEPTEMBER s 7.

General Bourck's division not having arrived in this
capital, where it has been expected some days back, has
led to the supposition that it has marched towards Es.
trenadura. Since the defeat of General Cities:Wit, there
has heel little said of the body of Constitutional troops
that are in that province, until the last day or two, since
when, they have become the subject of conversation and
rumour. Some persons pretend having seen letters from
sortie of the officers in that army, which state, that there
was some probability of an honourable 'suspension of
arms taking place, on the condition of France guaran-
teeing to Spain a Representative Government. The per-
sons who seem most anxious to spread this news being
well known for their Royalist sentiments, there is hut
little credit attached to the report. The condition of the
Constitutionalists is become every day more and More
cruel and precarious—if they remain in their houses they
are outraged, and persecuted, if they absent themselves
in order to escape insult and bodily injury, the Govern.
ment sequestrates their property ; for several Biscayan
Alcaldes have received orders from the Corregidors to
seize the property of all petitions absent without legiti-
mate cause or permission. So that neither at home nor
abroad is there security or repose for them.
According to the orders of the Regency, a 7'e Deum
ha 3 been sung here for the taking of the little fortress of.
baliti Petri ; a general illumination was also commanded,
and, contrary to their usual custom, the populace
did tot commit the outrages that were dreaded from
tl.eni, they chiefly contented themselves with vocife-
rating " 3ltterte a los Negros." We have seen some
letters from French officers who were at the taking of
that fortress, which state that the injury done by the fire
of the Constitutionalists and the vessels engaged in the
attack, was much more serious than was at first known,
or hai been since acknowledged. The same letters state
that the Governor determined to resist to the last extre-
mity, but that the garrison forced him to capitulate.—
There is much boasting here of the signal vengeance
which General Serapere is resolved to take upon Ali-
cant. The troops under Bessieres are to be united to
the remains of his division for that purpose. It is said
he has declared that he will give no quarter to the Con.
stitutionalists of that place, as he is still smarting under
the shame of his two last defeats near that town.
• BAYONNE, OCTOBER 9.

The disorder at Passages remains in the same state as
before,not making any progress,and this is much gained.
Letters from Madrid of the 28:11 state, that tae Con-
stitutional troops who have marched from 'rivallio to
t 'le number of 8 or 900 men, are pursued by above 2000
French, who are going, doubtless, to oblige them to re-
turn into the place, which it will be necessary to besiege,
it it does not surrender as the whets have done.

Accounts f►om Alicant say, that the garrison has
made a sally, in which it gained considerable advantage
over General Semperre, who was at illches. The sub-
mission of Colonel Amor is spoken of. They write from
Xeres, on the 21st, in the evening, that a dreadful can-
tionade was heard in the direction of the Isle of Leon•
All was ready for the bombardment of Cadiz, and we
have, in fact, heard that it has commenced, but we have
no official accounts published here. it is intended first
to burn the squadron, but as it is moored close in shore,
it is not certain whether our vessels can get near enough
thout being too much exposed to the fire of the bat-
-.

The events in Cadiz :Iry involved in considerable ob-
scurity, which the last arrivals from France are far
from'explaining.".We have this morning received the
Moniteur and Etoile, of Thursday, and the Pilote oft

yesterday by express, but the intelligence they contain!
from Cadiz is not of a later date than that which we
yesterday communicated.

A Morning Paper gives that a private letter from
Poi( S:.lary, dated 28th ult. which states that of ninety-
four Deputies, sixty, it is said, voted for restoring tot
the KING his power, and have received, the accolade of,
his MAJESTY. The Cortes dissolved themselves. For
the last thirty-six hours the. Isle of Leon was attacked
with the greatest vigour. The latter part of this in•
teiligence is quite at variance with all the accounts re-
ceived frOm Cadiz, and while it asserts that the Isle of
Lcon was attacked on the 27th and 28th of. September,
the Duke d'ANcouLette in a telegraphic dispatch of
the 29th states, that hostilities would not recommence
until the next day; and a letter from Port St. Mary,
dated theist inst. at three quarters past II o'clock, A.M.
announces that the Km° and Royal Family had just
arrived, but is wholly silent as to any attack on the Isla.
The Etoile states that preparations were making in
Paris. for the return of the Duc d'ANcovurtits.
The news of the liberation of the Kiri° had reached
Madrid on the 9d inst. when there was great rejoicing.
An Article is inserted in one of the French Papers
or j
from Constantinople, stating that the conference be-
tween Lord STRANGTOND and the RCN EFFENDI,

the 30th August, had the most happy result ; and that
the PORTE had declared that the passage of the Black
Sea shall, in future, be open to all Christian nations,
without distinction. The following are extracts from
the French papers of Thursday and yesterday ;

FROM THE MONITEUR.
PARIS, OCTOBER 10.

a REPORT OF THE MARSHAL DUEL OF REGGIO TO HIS.

EXCELLENCY THE MINISTER OW WAIt.

" M. LE MARECHAL—GeneraI Count La Roche Ja-
(VIOLIN, whom I had posted on the Tagus at Naval-
morel with his brigade ready to pass that river, in order
to move on Badajos by Trusillo, at the same time that
Lieutenant-General Bourck shonld present himself before
Ciudad Rodrigo, giving me information that on the
28th September last, the Constitutional troops which
had quitted Truxillo to approach the Tagus, made an
appearance in the afternoon to wish to force the passag
at the ford of Almaras, but they were keenly repulsed
by a half battalion of the diiision of Quesada charge
with defending it.
As soon as General La Roche Jaquelin had know-1
ledge of the enemy, he advanced on the point threat-1
cued with the Ist regiment of Hussars, the 7th of Horse
Chasseurs, the 7th Light Infantry, and two pieces 'of
horse artillery. The SOth, in the morning, the enemy
shewing the beads of columns on the right bank of the
Tagus. General La Roche Jaquelin presuming that he
persisted in his project of forcing the ford, did not wish
to let.slip the occasion of reconnoitring the troops, which
he had to oppose; he immediately caused his troops to
pass to the left bank, which decided the advanced

guard of the enemy to beat a retreat.—After having
followed his movement for nearly an hour, he found
the Constitutional masses in biotic on the plain of Puerto
de Mirahel ; after cannonading them for some time,,
General La Roche Jacquelin threw himself on the
enemy's cavalry with the greatest impetuosity, over-
threw it, took from them a piece of cannon and their

cassoon, and completely routed them. At the Mt
time the 7th regiment of Light Infantry drove off the
enemy's tirailleurs posted on the rocks, and carried a
the charge a 'height crowned by the Spanish Infantry.
4, The loss of the enemy was considerable; a hundred
prisoners remained in our power, among whom are the
Colonel in Chief of the Staff and a great (me: grawl)
number of officers.

'Notwithstanding our numerical inferiority, thearcloot
of our troops was such, says M. La Roche Jacqudio
in his Report, that there was not one of our cavalry who.,
did not pay in his person.'

"This affair does much honour to the troops engage 4,
and to be just, we ought to name all the brave who
took part in it. General Count La Roche Jaquelin
praises much the conduct of four companies of infantry
of the division of Quesada, who were under his orders-
-Accept, Ecc.

" The Marshal commanding in.chief the lit Corps,

CONSTANTINOPLE, SEPTEMBER 9.

As to the affairs of Greece, it was decided at the con-
ference between Llrd Strangford and the Reis Effendi
that, they would be discussed in another moment,
which was conformable to the instructions given ca
this subject by. the Emperor Alexander. This news
leaves little hope of an amicable arrangement of the
fate of Greece; it appears on the contrary, that:thefo.
reign negotiators at Constantinople hive avoided die
cussing an object which might have caused fear for
the three Reclamations of the Christian Psinces, ape
cially respecting the commerce of the Black Sea; Thu
the regeneration of Greece will depend probably es
the success of her arms; the fate of a fourth campaigs
for which the Porte, freed from the war with Persia, anal
her fears of an invasion on the part of Russia, will dis-
play all her force in order to replace under her yoke the
islands of the Archipelago, and all those which han
hoisted the standard of the Cross.
