PARIS, May 18.-The report yesterday cir
culated, of the complete defeat of a corps of
Royalist Spanlards, 1000 strong, commanded
by RomagOs, by Nina, who fell unexpectedly
upon them, becomes to day more probable
1t is said that the plan of Nina, was to attack
in order TO dispense the two divisions of Eroles
and Romsgosa, before coming TO hands with
the French army. 1t it said that General
Qucsada, who was blockading Santona with
or 1000 men of the Army of the Faith
having attempted to cause some soldiers 10 be
shot, for want Of discipline, was suddenly
| abandoned by his whole corps d'armec. Ii is
even said that there was sort Of mutiny
and that the General of the Faith was Obliged
to fly, accompanied only by single aid dc
camp. According Ia the same story, several
battalions had been detao he'd from the French
army IN the vicinity, in order to keep up the
blockade of Santoua. 1t is said that the
Marshal, Duke of AIbufera, (Suchet) is about
to take his departure for the army.
A letter from Perpignan ofthe 7th May,
gives as IA report, that the French comman

mander of the fortress, flag begging him Doi
TO fire uponithe city, as it injured il very much,
menacng him at the same time, with rigorous
Treatment when captured, il he should persist
IN ms course. The Spanish commander re.
cei,ed the flag, and message sent back the
messenger, and Immediately commenced a
fire upon the town.
PERPIsNAN, May IO.-Exiract from our
private correspondence :--General Donadieu
entered Vich On the 9th. There was only
aight skirmish in the wood ofTosca, hetwer
O'ot and Laspresas, where we had about 80

the Ter, where he abandoned the lett bank of
that river, and retired upon Lusanes. Then
! 1t was that General Donadieu entered Yich,
and that the enemy detached 1000 men
