LEGHORN. JULY w.

The Neapolitan ship, Capri, of 74 guns, the Ga-
latea, of 28, and the St. Antonio, of eight, have ar-
rived from Naples, to wait for his Majesty the King
of Naples.
His Majesty the King of Wurtembnrg, and the
Prince of Hesse Cassel, have.arrived here to take the
Benefit of sea-bathing.

We have received to-day the following accounts
from Bayonne :

BAYONNE, JULY *o.

The action before Cadiz, on the 16th, was one of
the most serious that has yet taken place, and not
doubt considerable loss must have been sustained :
in that before Corunna, on the 15th, the 7th regi-
ment appears to have suffered the must.

At Seville there were so many sick and wounded,
on the 20th, that it had been resolved to embark a
great number of the latter on board the French squa-
dron, to convey them to France.
The communications between Andalusia and Ma-
drid are at times interrupted, notwithstanding the
movements of the French, who occupy the Sierra iklo-
rena. Ballasteros retains his positions at Malaga, Gre-
nada, and Ronda, with ten or twelve thousand men;
and has detached ten guerillas, each consisting of'
200 foot ancl'4o horse, commanded by good Qfficers,l
in different directions, especially to the Sierra Morena.
General Molitor, it is said, has received orders
from the Prince, to advance, with all the force that,
he can command, towards Grenada, to attack Bal-
lasteros and cover tiourdesoulle. Cartbagena and Ali.
cant are not yet blockaded: those-two places, besides
a good garrison, have each a guerilla of 1200 men;

the Constitutionalists, however, want resources, ani
are obliged to have recourse to recnisitions, in order
to subsist. BaNsteros is reprnached by his patty
with dilatoriness and pusillanimity; the factis, that
with almost equal forces he has done nothing, in
comparison with Mina, but yielded only the grt nod
to his adversaries, retieating for 140 leagues.
The Empecinado, after entering Valladolid, pro)
cecded towards Aranda, with 1,500 men,:of which
300 are cavalry. Almost all the prisoners whom be
'has released have joined him. The Royalists, in their
turn, have retaken the city, and put in prison the
wives of the prisoners.

Bourck continues his operations in Galicia. Mo•
was advancing against Vigo. Corunna, which
is blockaded, will not be able to hold out long, ot
account of its position, any more than Ferrol.

O'Donnel has written to the Regency, that tin
body of troops is kept at Valladolid, and-Ciudad
Rodrigo blockaded, Old Castile will not enjoy trio.
quillity. -

Pampeluna and St. Sebastian hold out obstinately;
[the garrison of the former has made many. sallies;
lin the last, while two columns of 500 men each, pro-
tected by artillery, engaged the enemy on one side,
another column of 1,000 men cut down the corn on
the other side, to carry it into the fortress. General
Guilleminot has given orders to besiege both places
in form.

The present state of things in Spain, is very un-
favourable to foreign commerce, the French cruisers
stationed before Barcelona, Tarragona, Carthagena,
Malaga, Algesiras, Cadiz, Corunna, Vigo, Ferrol,
Santander, Santona, and St. Sebastian, sti icily search-
ing all vessels, and hindering them from entering
these ports; and even in the ports occupied by the
French, or the soldiers of the Faith, the duties are
very high.
Sir Robert Wilson and General Laßemand fought
with courage at the affair of Corunna.

PRIVATE LETTER.
FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.
" PART% AUGUST S.

a Stock Exchange rumours, and letters from Bay
onne, with the intention of favouring the Bears,
stated that the army before Corunna was in full re.
treat. There is not a word of truth in it. The French
army has never been obliged to retire. Bourck's
army was too small for effective operations: but he
maintained his ground until the arrival of fresh troops,
which reinforced him on the 23d July : and letters
from the army of the 24th, state that active opera.
tions were to be commenced the next dry; and it was
expected the place would not hold out a fortnight.

" The Duke d'Angouleme is expected toreseh
Cadiz by the 15th or 20th, to undertake the siege in
person, but it is thought that the negotiations for the
dissolution of the Cortes and the deliverance of Fer-
dinand will be terminated on his Royal Highness's
arrival, and wait only his ratification. The fact is
certain that two Regiments of the gartison hate de-1
dared their resolution not to fight fot the Cortes. It
was wished to disband them, but they refused to da
liver up their arms, ant requested permission to►leass
the city, which was refused. Discontent is said to be
general at Cadiz, and that the Cortei ceased to be-
come popular when they attracted all the horrors of
war to the city, which, deprived of its commerce,
wanting provisions, and subject to every rind%
anxiously waits to see a period to its misfortunes!

The Paris Papers of Monday arrived last night,
but brought no intelligence of any importance.
following is given in the Conatitutiennd asan extol
of a letter from the bivouack, near Barcelona, dal
July 29 :

" The Spaniards make great boasting in the Batt
