THURSDAY EVENING, MAY 15, 1823.

Paris papers of. Tuesday have come to hand. The
211o!iteur gives nothing new from the army of Spain. The
Journal des Debate explai is this silence by saying that the
combined movements made to tarn Mina's fisnks require
some time. Others allege that the communications be-
tween the French frontit r and Vittoria are already in.
tercepted by bands of Guerillas. Reports were still in
c,irenlation at Paris that a battle bad been fought, in
which Morcey's army had met a severe check from Mina.
—The success of the French has been hitherto
iittle, and their operations so slow in Catalonia, that,
it is said the King had becomealarmed, and sent to obtain
the opinion of Marshal Seth and Socket, from whom
he learnt,with no small chagrin,thedifficulties that attended
the enterprise. Every thing, however, announced an
arproaching shock between both armies, if the Spanish
Chieftain preserved his positions. The French Marshal
had set oct, on the '37lb, from his head-quarters at Per..
lade. and bad gone to &sail, to direct in person the
movements of the troops intended to attack Mina, who,
it ara• said, had coy.; •ntrated his forces between Sain
Ferriol and Santa Pan. He is said to have about hire
eighteen thousand effective troops. The two armies,
French and Spanish, were approximating closely. Don-
nadieu's division, which Lad come down from Spanish
Cerdagme by the valley of Ribes,occnpied Rippoll andeam-
credos?. Corial's division was, on the 30th of April, in the
environs of Ger.ota. The third brigade of this division,
commanded by lien. Vasserot, was at Bagnolos, and the
Trend' soldiers were almost in sight of Ministroops.—
Aloncey had drawn all his force about him. A mere de-
tachment was left in the plain of Lamponrdan to ob-
serve the citadil of Figueras. This fortress most be in
fact completely free; for accounts from Perpignan to the
4 is state, thct a few days before the garrison made a sor-
tie in the direction of Avignonet, intending to come sad-
deftly on d'Eroles and some of his hands of the Faith,
hot the Baron had decamped. The Spanish troops
carried off, it appears, as supplies, two flocks of cattle
into the fortress, but the Governor, with most creditable
justice, gave them up to their owners, declaring he bad
no nerd of them. The rirriton, on the 3d, celebrated
one of their fetes. The bands of three Spanish regi-
ment. played on the ramparts. and the soldiers sung the
Trager/a and patriotic songs. The festival closed in cha-
racter by the discharge of thirty-sin cannons and bombs,
directed against the French in the town. The last ac-
counts received at Bayonne from Vittoria. state that
Morino was moving towards the Asturias with his corps,
to manrenvre on the right flank of the French army, as-
sist Santana, and endeavour to come down on the bands
of the Faith in Bilboa, and retake that city. Ballaste-
ros' troops are stated to amount. to 15,000 men. The
F:snerrodor paper of the 4th of April, contains a most
ensrgetic remonstranee, addressed by Mina's Lieut.-Ge-
rm-al, Milans, to Fer Inand, on the removal of San Mi-
guel and his patriotic colleagues from the Ministrv, and
on the individuals hostile to the Constitution whom the
Spanish King still retains about his person. The Con-
stitutional General talks of '• the perfidious and intending
counsellors—infamous flatterers, who, insatiate of liberal
blood, still continue to profane the Palace by iniquitous
projects." Milan. decisively adds, " Let your Majesty
be no longer deceived: your manner
.of reigning is no
longer a problem; be either our Constitutional King,
or be no longer the Chief of the Spaniards."
A A private letter from Bayonne, asserts, on the
authority of a British officer, who is said to have
come all the way from Seville, that the Cortes had de-
clared the provinces of Biscay and Navarre out of the
pale of the law, and had invested Mina with unlimited
powers. The Quotidienne announces that a squadron,
consisting of the Centanre, 80 guns: the Colcsse, 74 ;
the Themis frigate, a brig, and two sloops, bad arrived
before St. Sebastian, to blockade that fortress. It adds
that a flag of trnce, sent by the Admiral to the Governor,
had been admitted within the walls, and that several
other communications had pissed between them in the
course of the day, which led to a hope that there was a
disposition to surrender. A French frigate is stated by
the Joterna! des Debufs to have captured, off Corunna, a
'small Spanish r ssrl, loaded with 5,000 muskets and
ammunition, on account of the Cortes. The young Prince
of Carignani, presumptive heir of the throne of Savoy,
list paper boasts hits come to France to serve a. a volun-
ttor under the Duke d'Angotileme. It is reported, how-
ever, on the other hand, that he has been torced to this
resolution by various personages, who cannot pardon
lie adoption of the constitutional system in the last re-
vollllloo that took place in his native country.

S rocK EXCIIANGIC, 12 o'CLocx.--There was a great
'Rattle took place this morning in the above market ; the
Rears made a grand *Vatc on the Bulls, fearing,
if they waited much longer they would not be
aLle to get into stock, owing to its being
generally credited that a negociation is on the tapis be-
tween Spain and France. Consols opened from 7ti4 to
79. The Bears immediately banged the market, and got
them down to 754: but the Bulls obtained a Victory, and
thee rose again to 79 t, at which price they remain.
The Express from Pails, this morning, brims the French
Rantea at 87-S0 for money and $B-1.0 for the account. We
do not hear of any information of consequence from the Ar-
mies in Spain.
