A Mail from Passage arrived this morning, bring-
ing accounts up to the 19th ult. The Arabella
pocket, which brought the Mail, was obliged to
put into Cork in' consequence of contrary winds,
otherwise she would have made for Falmouth. It
will be seen by the extracts we have taken that SOULT
is fortifying himself opposite to the Allied Army.
Pamplona still held out, but was expected shortly
to fall.

PASSAGE, 'Om. 18.—Nothing of consequence has
occurred since the 7th, when the enemy was driven
from their positions. He is now intronching him-
self on the ridge behind Lekune, St. Jean de Luc,
&c. for the purpose of retarding our advance. Soult
is said to be actively employed in the erecting of
most formidable intrenchments, which he personally
superintends. Pamplona still holds ont, but it is
supposed that the utmost period of its resistance
cannot extend beyond the latter end of this month.
On the 17th, head-quarters were at Vera.

The Regency of the kingdom has been pleased to

' " Don• Ferdinand, by the Grace God, &c. &c.
and in his captivity and absence the Regency of the
kingdom, appointed by the General and Eatraosdi•
nary Cortes, to all those by whom these presents
shall be seen or heard, make known, that the Cortes
base decreed the following:

" 4 The Cortes have decreed that the Congres
and Government shall immediately leave Caditt,
proceeding to the Isla of Leon ; and that they shall

formed that every tl►ing is prepared in that city to
enable them to begin their sessions, unless the poli-
tical circumstances of Spain, and of Europe, should
greatly change The Regency of the kingdom shall
make this known for its fulfilment, and shall cause
it to be printed, published, and circulated.

We are sorry we are not able to gratify the anxious
curiosity of our Readers, with respect to affairs in
the North, now become unquestionably more inte-
resting than at any former period during the war.
Nothing in the way of Bulletin from the CROWN
PRINCE, or otherwise, to confirm those hopes which
the most sanguine part of the British press had raised
throughout the United Kingdom. The pompous an-
nouncement of French news in a Ministerial Paper
of yesterday, in which " the total discomfiture of
BONAPARTE" was the text, turns out to be less than
a prophecy. But it is yet to come :and really if the as-
sumed premises on which a Print, lees itilational Print
than the eke alluded to, though on the same side of po-
litics, were admitted, then would wejoin heartily with

however, have no apprehension of his safety be-

In arguing thus, we wish to impress our cotm.
hymen with the cautionary fact, that to such
;a condition are the public affairs of this cone-

Is. not not NATIONAL POLICY. It is lamentable
that such is the fact : but so it is; nor is there a sen-

We have given further extracts from the French
