the forces of Ms The Royalist Chief Boson fol-
lows this movement bx advancing open Cardoso. Some
chosen men detached from the pores of Baron d'Eroles are
lu pursuit of Mina in order to trate his march. According
to the accounts that have been received, it shosidasem that
he Is retiring upon Barielona by Montserrat.
The town of Oint remains occupied by French battalion.
That of Vich err Ripon are guarded by son* *midi ems-,

month : our troops are well received by the inhabitants--
(Monitewr.)
The above adds very little to the information we had
previously received and comdriunicated. The advanced
position of The Duke d'Angoulente's headquarters bad
been fully anticipated; and next week we may expect
to heir 'of their arrival at Madrid. Bocequillas at which
they were on the 17th, it about 65 miles from that capital
and Buietrago, which the van-guard was snpposed to
have reached on the 18th, is shoot 45. Front the falling
back of .Abisbal's detachments, it follows, as was long
ago announced, that the French will be allowed to
enter Madrid without opposition. lint that, point, we
;is confidently expect, will prove their sae plus ultra.—.
'Their arrival in the capita), there is reason to believemill
be to theM, nor, as it ii to invaders in general, the tenni-
nation, hut the commencement of their warfare. In the
mean time, if an: reliance can be placed on the following
article, it would appear they are not averse to avoid the
extremities they have provoked. The intimation is thus
given in the dogma! de Paris :—"We have this day. seen
a letter from Burgos, dated the 10th of May, which slate',
that the Constitutional General Sancbet, who was made
prisoner by otichroops at Lotgrono, hadobtalised sotto.
rrity of the Prince Generalissimo to Oroceett
It was reported at Burgos that thii General is charged
with the transmission of a reply to the propositions made
by the Government of Seville, in consort with King
Ferdinand." Excepting the mere advance of the
head-quarters, the Duke's army can boast but of
little success. The intelligence commnnicated about
'some prisoners and cannon taken from Ballasteros,
and about his continuing to retire on Valencia, had been
before related again and again ; and only proves that
the country through which the French are passing, is
as barren of laurels, as it had been rendered bare of re-
spectable population, or necessary provision. The news
Irespecting Moncey's army is equally scanty. The Mar-
-1 sisal seems to have been engage' in collecting his forces
which had been scattered in the hope of intercepting
Mina ; and the pursuit of Mina Is now reduced to an
attempt of a feu chosen men to trace his march! After
all, it is evident that up to the 15th instant, the real
oourse of that alert and skilful commander bad not been
discovered, though he bad passed in the rear of a pow-
erful army. all the divisions of which bad been
moving in different directions in order to arrest
his steps. All thatcan be said of him is, that, according
to accounts that had been received," it would seem that
be was retiring upon Barcelona by Montserrat." By this
it was admitted that be had gained an essential point;
he could effect at pleasure a junction with General
Milans.

We are assured that Balloteros is retiring almost

that every thing announces that his project is to retire on
Estremadurs. The Courier met at Baptise 400 Constitu-
