wounded. Desertion has begun in tbe consti-

Sir Robert Wilson had Joined Morilo.
A letter from Perpignan, dated the 9th of
May, states that the French army in Catalonia
amount TO $4,000 men. The Spanish army con-
sists of 10000 regular troops. She army of the

Money, has transmitted TO the Duke de Beluno,
the following extract from report from the Gen
eral Donnadeu -
"SOLXONA, June ], o'clock P. NJ
M. LIE Marshall-Mina, pursued night and,
day, sword in hand, effected his escape, partlcu-
Iarly at Baja, only by miracle. He threw him
seifinto frightful precipce, the access to which
was impossible. Soon after, without giving his
soldiers single moment OF rest, he marched them
across the highest mountains, towards the SEQ
d'Urge which he entered this night, according
70 the report of Brieadier General Bozom, who
necessarily pursued him.-His intention was to
regain Cardona, by ST. LoreDt but knowing that
| had overreached him by m rching upon Solso-
na, he sought a refuge in SEQ, where he could on
" have arrived in Struggling parties. lie expo
rienced much descrton on the way.
According to all the reports which have
reached me, the army Of Nina is diminishing and
completely demoraiised. The enemy only sup
ports himself by the terror which he inspires !;
he rayagcs the whole country over which he
ranges, and compels the inhabitants to furnish
him with subsistence by INJECTING upon them
the most odious cruelties and he is even under
the necessity ofdrawing supplies of biscuits from
the fortressos which he approaches. The move
ments ofMina are vigiianty watched, and | am
prepared TO follow wherever he may 90.
