LoNDoN, July 25.-An English passen-
ger by the augusta has arrived in London,
and he says, that on the 18th instant, the
French to the number of 1000 men, at
tackled the Spanish army, in the ncighhor-
hood ofC0runna, and after severe action,
compelled them TO- retire within the FORTH
cations, from which heavy fire WAS i'm
ncdately opened on the invaders, and
which continued with little ntcrmysion
during that and the following day. At Eve
O'Clock IN the morning of the 18th. the firing
was renewed, and at the same time the
Augusta sailed. During the day boat
came off to her and stated that the French
had already lost zee men killed aud wound
ed, and that the ConsttutionaIists were both
able and determined to defend the place
The Augusta was still in sight of Corunna
on the evening Of the 18th, at which time
the firing, from the quantity of smoke,
appeared to he more extended, and was
extremely heavy. This was the state of
affairs at Corunna Oh the 18th, in the eve

Papers and letters were last light recci,.
ed from Madrid to the 18th inst. The
Madrid Gazctte of that date contains a
decree of the Regency for establishing an
nl'ersary honors to the memory of Gen.
Ello, who was executed last autnpnn in
Valencia. The same Gazette contains an
account of the presentation Of the Russian
and Prussian Envoys to the Regency, and
the speeches which their exceIencies made
on the occasion. The private letters from
Madrid OF the 18th are more important than
the Gazette. Accounts have been received
from Port st. Mary of the 18th. The
blockade Of Cadz had then begun 10 be
more rigorous. Two vessels that endeav-
ored 10 enter with provisions lad be u k
