GRAND HEAD QUARTERS, Pon: ST. MART'S, Ac 0.23.

Nothing is spoken of in the army but about the expedition
which is preparing against the Isle of Leon.
Twelve battalions, of which five are of the Guard, are at
this moment united at Rota. To-night our gun boats
sailed from the road under a heavy fire of the enemy's
batteries, to receive on board all the troops united at Rota.
Two ships of our squadron were to conduct them to the
south of the Island of Leon. The Edabossier silences the
enemy's batteries, and secures the landing of our troops.
I f God protects this enterprise, and if the two first battalions
can wake good their landing, the expedition will be ac-
complished, and the position of the Isle of Leon carried.
Cadiz cannot hold out 21 hours. It is affirmed that this
night, or the next, the troops will be embarked, amd the
grand day for the attack will be the day of the fete of the
King. Our troops are well disposed, the sea is floe, and
the wind does not blow strong. Every thing gives hopes
of a happy result. Two Portuguese ships has this moment
reinforced our cruisers.

MATARO, Aug. 27.—The corp of Milans and Lieber's,
having to all hopes to retire on Seud'Urgcl, have made
a movement on Tarragona; but having been closely fol-
lowed, only part of them could get in to the place; and
Milans, with :a part of his force, was obliged to take a
position without the walls of that Town. Mina continues
iu Barcelona, and the state of his health is very bad.
We read-in the Monilcur of this day the following
letter :

" Port St. Mary's, Aug. 22.

"We are on the eve of attacking the Trocadero. Oar
works are completed, and nothing is wanting but to
establish the both-ries. it appears, that the honour
is reserved to the 2ild regiment of the Royal Guard, to
march at the head of the troops, awl it is added, it
will take place to-morrow night or the next."

We hare today a fresh arrival from Bayonne, which
brings the following articli.:
BAVONNE, AunVvr 25.—Though we have an extraordinary
number of letters from Madrid to-day, they do not bring 11111
any thing remarkable. The Regency has ordered that thoss
among the persons still in prison who are in bad health, shall
be immediately put upon their trial, that their confinement may
be as short as possible. Other accounts, however, say that all
persons confined for political offences are already set tit liberty.
Nothing is said of the army, which is the effect of the suspei-
sloe of arms. The last news from Cadiz, since the arrival of
the' Lliike at Port St. Mary's, continues to give a favourable
account of the health of the King and the Royal Family.—
There is a report of an engagement at Ellin, in Murcia, be-
tween the troops of Bessieres, and those of Lorho. In which
the loss is said to have been pretty equal, about lOU men on
each side. There are reports at Madrid of a movement of the
troops of Lopez Banos. and Amor, who have 4,500 men be-
tween the capital and Talaveire, who are said to have sect
some parties within 20 miles of Madrid; but it hes been
affirmed on the other band, that they have concluded a suspen-
sion of arms with the Duke of Reggio, as introductory to their
final submission. General Castel dos Rios, with his troops,
forms a part _of the Constitutional forces, which makes them
amount to 4,010 infantry, and 2,000 cavalry.
Several Canons and Priests have loft Madrid to go on politi-
cal missions to the Provinces. There is still a tendency to
fermentation at Madr:d, chiefly caused by the rabble, who are
not,pleased with the French, because the latter consiantly op-
pose the etcesses which they would willingly commit. The
Royalists are in hopes that every thing will be shortly settled
at Cadiz, and some even say that the King of Spain and the
.4481 Family were to dine with the Dukes of Avg uleme yes-
terday, the 2501,M Port St. Mary's. The French line before
Cadiz is said to be conceutrated between Porto Real and Port
St. Mary's. General Girbe who has the command of the En-
gineers at the siege of Pampelune, left this town last night.—
The King's ship Alsaceinne having been repaired, has sailed
again to resume its station before Santana.. •

American Papers have at rived this morning to the 9th of Au-
gust, by which we learn that Vera Cruz was, in the middle of
July, in a quiet state, and that the Congress was engaged in
formidg a new Constitution. At the Havanna, a subscrip-
tion was on foot in behalf of Spain, and to promote it, the
Captain General had issued a very patriotic and animated ad-
dress,.

The following Is from the New Tort Gazette of the Stlt o
August

Mexico.—On the perusal of the Mexican papers by the Cato,
we find it stated in one of the 27th June, oh the authority of a
private letter, that General Santona had an interview with
Arengo, at Javal. It is asserted tbal they toold not agree
when the latter set out the next day to join', the forces in
the district of Pardo. Santona followed him, and the ad-
vanced Guard met on the same day, bet no blood was shed.
The same letter also asserts, that Santona's troops bad pro-
claimed him Second Emperor of Mexico, under the title of
Antonio the First. The Representatives of the Mexican
Government and the Commissioners of Spain sent out to
treat with them, have had several interviews which promise
to have a favourable result. On the Spanish Commissioners
being required to declare the views of the Spanish Govern-
ment oo the subject of the recognition of the Inde-
pendence of Mexico, the Spanish Commissioners replied
that they could give no stronger proof of the disposition
of their Government to recognize their independence, than
ti►e fact„ that they had offered theta suitable conditions, and
guarantees, and had clothed their commissioners with the
necessary authority to act on the subject.

Though the news of the surrender of Corunna is briefly
announced in the Moniteur of Sunday, it is remarkable
that the account stated to be a Telegraphic des-
