sequence of a fall from his horse, APP
pears, by other accounts, to be as active
as ever. Learning that the French in
tended to menace Barcelona and Cadiz
at the same moment by large bodies of
troops, this enterprizIng chief is said to
have anticipated them by proceeding to
Barcelona, which he had entered, instead
of marching to Lerida, where it was sup
posed he had gone. Other movements
were also making by the constitutional
generals, Rotten, Saarfeld, and San
Miguel, to counterfeit the designs of the
invaders. Sir Robert Wilson is said to
feel the greatest confidence in the sue

large hodies of Guerillas were forming,
and Ballasteros had large and powerful
army under him. Several French SOL
Patriots, had been condemned to death

the environs of Madrid, by the GuerilIas,
and they had difficult work to make them

The news which was circulated yes

Spanish officer, was obliged o retrea, BY
threats Of being fired upon the second,

chief of the staff of the army Of the Baron
d. Eroles, was admitted; it is asserted
the letter o. which he was the bearer, was
not read, and that the commandant him
self went so far as TO tell him that 1t W as
very happy for him he Vas a Frenchman,
aud that II he had been Spaniard, he
would have caused him 10 be shot.
During their conversation, which did
not continue long, the band o. the regi-

gala.
Yesterday two spies Of Nina were i'm
prisoned in the town, upon whom were
found dispatches for the Governor Of the

Accounts vary as to particulars. Ii was
said that the Spanish General had dec lar
