GERONA, MAY 5.

CORONA, MAY Is.
A despatch was received at midnigh,
from M. the Marshal Money, who had
marched out to attack the enemy. He
writes that Nina has just retired.
The movements of General Molitor
will contribute greatly to discourage Mi
lans, and force him to to take the route to
Barcelona.
The Fort of Figueras continues to fire
some bombs portion OF the inhabitants
have returned to the town, and treat our
soldiers we'll.
May le.-M. the Marshal returned to
Corona shortly after the despatch of my
last letter. Milans has evacuated the
strong position which he occupied; he
is marching in the direction of Barcelona,
which was the only route open.
Our troops are full of ardor, and joy
fully execute all the man9uvres which
approximate them to the enemy, whoE,
they burn to contend with.
Extract ofa private letter, dated Puy-
urdaz, May 1.-The report of the arr
val OF Nina at Rapoe and Campredon is
true; our troops having intercepted him
in his route to Barcelona, he was compel
led to retrace his steps. He dares not
enter any of the towns; all sound the
alarm bell at his approach, and the in
habitanls arm themselves with us. He
would have attempted to traverse the
Spanish and French Cedragne, in order
to throw himself into La Sevel Urgel had
he not feared the infantry and cavalry in
this quarter.
He has now divided his troop into two
columns, which are closely pursued by
two of our brigades; he appears desir-
Gus to march upon Cardona but the dlvi-
sion of Moltor, which is arriving from
Arraeon, will prevent him.
If Nina does not find means to enter
some fortress he must come to an engage
ment with our troops-in both caseshis
destruction is inevitable.

MY Dear Father
:" On the night Of the 23d ult. party
OF Kidnappers went to the house OF
Jack Butler, and succeeded in taking
off Jack, his wife and six children, two
boys and. four girls. l did not hear Of
this atrocious crime having been COM
mitted until late in the afternoon Of the
following day, and it was some time in
the night before the course they had ia
ken was ascertained.--lt was then by a
number of circumstances reduced al
most to certainty that they had been
taken down the river by three villains
who came to this place from Vandalia
some weeks before. Their names are
Doctor Baird, Benjamin Myres, and a
man calling himself Welsh. They pur-
chased skiff on the 27d ult. and on the
afternoon OF the 2sd, they left here as
they stated, for Shawneetown, went
down few miles and returned during
the nigh, and seized their unsuspecting
prey.
$50 soon as I was acquainted with
the facts, l Immediately started Mr..
Osburn in pursuit by land. He has
just returned without having been able
to apprehend the scoundreIs, or reclaim
the blacks. When he arrived at Shaw
neetown he learned that the skitf had
passed six hours before his arrival. He
endeavored withou. success to raise a
party to con,inue the pursuit. With a
few exceptions, the citizens were deaf
to The calls of this poor family.
"To you poor Jack will look for as
sistancc, and if he can be heard of, there
can easily be party raised in this place,
10 go and bring him and family back"
To the Editors ofthe National Republican.
The letter OF which the above is an
extract, was received by the last Vim
cennes mail. l send it to you for pub
LEGATION, as the most effectual means of
getting a knowledge Of the atrocious
act to which it refers, more speedily DIFF
fused through the states and territories
Of the Mississippi. And request all
editors Of newspapers in that country, to
publish it, together with this note, as
soon as possible. Besides what may be
offered by the Governor of Illinois for
the purpose, l will give one hundred
and fifty dollars for the safe delivery Of
the villains who perpetrated this outrage
upon humanity, to any Jail in Illinois, or
fifty dollars for each of them; and l will
give the additional sum of fifty dollars
on the conviction ofeach, making in the
aggregate one hundred dollars tor each,
provided the punishment is capital, or
extending to confinement Of not less
than ten years 10 the peLitentiary.
