serond division of the first corps of the army entered on the

and provisions of all kinds.

From the unofficial articles in different papers, it appears
Viet Milan, gives full occnpation to the French in Cata-
lonia. A letter dated Perpignan, the 23,1 ult. says—" Ac-
)rt:ing to accounts from Berge, the enemy had a poiition
at timsana on the 19th. He was followed by a large con-
vd, of cattle and swine. The rear guard was formed of
the principal eavrhadort, because Milan. was afraid that he
' might lose 1,000 men by desertion. They intended first to
go to the S-n d'Crwel, bat in consequeinee or oormovements
the y have directed their march on Lerida."
l'he Royalist Junta which Baron d'Eroles established
at Manresa, which toots was declareil provisionally the seat
of the Government of Catalonia; fled in consequence of a
movement oft ilan@ in that direction.
The Cuoistitartiorinel gives the following as lee ow di( of
the ministerial saloons :
•• It is said that the Council of War, held at St. Mary's
immediately after the arrival of the Duke of Angouleme,
discussed the question whether it would be proper to make
without delay a serious attack on the Isle of Leon. •It is
said, that after maturely discussing this important epee-
tion, it was agreed that success might be expected, by cum-
bini og the attack in such a manner that it •muld take place
at once by land and sea. It is said that this idea pre-
sailed in the council, and that in pursuance the most pre-
cise orders were given; that every thing was io motion for
the attack by land ; that all the flat-bottom boats and gun-,
boats to be found on the coast were collecting and arming
with every expedition ; and that i• was expected it would
he practicable to commence the botubactlment on the 24th
or 25th of August.
" The inembers of the Council of War adduced in sup.
port of their opinion, the hope which must be entertained
that a simultaneous attack on the Isle of Leon, pushed
with all possible rigour, would necessarily cause a sensa-
tion within the walls of Cadiz, and would there produce
some movement favourable to the French army. It is far-
ther said, that this consideration is one of those which most
contributed to the determination to make the attack by land
and sea. If 'hese reports are well founded, decisive news
may he speedily expected.
•• The newsnimigers who repeat these rumours appear to
st.eak ai' atone uncertainty on the intentions of Ball iste
rt a. They recollect that the military convention, or, if it
west be mac:tiled, the capitulation of that General was
- ' signed by the chief of his st iff, and that nothing has since
been hearrimf his having ratified it. The last bulletin still
repeats that the orders of Lien. Bollasteros have been trans-
mitted to the Governors of Carthagena and Alicant, but that
•no answer could yet be received.' About a month bas,
however, elapsed since the convention with B Master's%
was signed by the chief of his staff. The last btu!. tin also
repeats that • the troops of Ballasteros are repairing to the
cantonments 'piped to them.'
`• Theie troops, then, are not destined to act in the same
manner as those of General Morino. The conventions
toe-eluded with Italtssteroi are not, then, the same as those
coe., hided with the Count of Carillagena. One circom•
stance seems to prove this to demonstration. We know that
14forillo sent an aide-de-camp to the Itegesicy to noify the
arrangement which he bed concluded, but as yet no-
C-lne indicates that there has been on•the part of Bal-
lasteros any act of submission towards toe bhp/triune= of
Madrid."

" Stst—l have the honour to inclose to you an exact
copy of a memorial made to me by the Masters of British
Merchaht ships, now anchored in this Ray, by which yon
will perceive those Masters express to know if, after the
15th tog. the French squadron blockading this port, will
prevent their proceedin* to their different desti nations ;
althouah I have represented to those memorialists that it
could never be the intention of the French Admiral to pre-
vent the sailing of British vessels, they seem so anxious to
have some assurance to that effect, that I am induced to
trouble you with this letter, and to request you will be so
kind as to inform me what answer I am to make to their
memorial.
