FOREIGN NEWS.

LcteSt from Span.

By the arrival of the brig Canton,
from the north of Spain, we are furnish
ed with verbal intelligence from that
country some days later than the ad-
vices before received. The only event
of Importance related is, that French
army had been defeated in battle with
Gen. Nina, with heavy loss. Our pre-
vious accounts left Mia at the head of
the most efficient portion of the Spanish
force, in situation in which it seemed
that an engagement could hardly be a.
voided; and there was time for news Of
a battle,- if it took place soon after the
date of our intelligence to reach Ssntan-
der, on the goth Of May. II is probable
therefore that battle has taken place !;
but from the nature of the information,
which is very vague, and 10 some re-
spects manifesilv inaccurate, it is impos-
sible to Judge w important it may have
been. As far as an opinion can be
formed, from the state of affairs as fur
nished by previous information, there is
reason to doubt whether any very de-
cisive event has taken place. The par
ticulars will be found in the following
statement.

The approaching anniversary of the DecIa-

various towns in this County, and in most in

are not confined to any portion of citizens
These will probably be attended more gen.

have been made.
In Holden and in Millbury arrangements
have been made for celebrations conducted in
a manner different from what is usual. and
designed to enable those publicllly to mani

relish the excitement and confusion which SO
generally attends celebrations of this Anniver-

TO deliver an Address at the former place
and, at the latter, the Rev. Enoch Pond, of

arrangements made by the committees for the
two celebrations, those, in this town, who
propose to attend either, win be expected at
Holden and that a considerable number,
here, intend to avail themselves of the oppor.

fer you TO the Journal des Debates of this
morning, for an account of the moye-
ment which they had made, and the OBJ
jects at which they aimed. The Constia
tutional General saw their intentions, and
he entirely defeated them. Instead of
retreating by Olot and Castelfollit upon

has now free passage into Arragon.-
Having gained the valley Of the Segra,
he can either proceed towards Lerida,
occupy Cerdagne, or threaten the rear
of the allied troops in Catalonia. This
able movement excites the admiration
even of his antagonists. Some of these
antagonists will be reprimanded, and
others most likely recalled, for allow
ing themselves to be so out-generalled.
Curial, d'Eroles, and Donadieu, have
got orders to exert themselves to repair
the fault which they have committed
but that will not be in their power
Nina and his troops are accustomed to
the mountains and the climate. The
French are already suffering from heat,
scanty subsistence, and fatigue, and
there isno chance now that they can do
any thing in Catalonia.
As the account of these events has
only yet reached the Government, none
of the details have been communicated.
The Moniteur and the Journal des De-
bates-the only two papers worth look
ing at for Government news--wlll no
doubt call Mina's admirable movement
upon Aragon flight, but they will
carefully conceal the facts and circum-
stances which make il equivalent, both
in merit and effect, toa brilliant victo-
ry.
The report current among well-in-
formed persons is, that he has taken
5000 prisoners. This mention mere
ly as report, but the previous facts
may be relied on with perfect certain

great CONSERVATION. Money has order

The report yesterday circulated. of
the complete defeat of a corps O. Roy
alist Spaniards, 1000 strong, commanded
by Romagosa, by Nina, who fell unex-
pectedly upon them, becomes to-day
more probable. 1t is said that the plan
of Nina, was to attack in order to dis
perse the two divisions of Eroles
and Romagosa, before coming to hands
with the French army.-It is said that
General Quesada, who was blockading
Santona with 3 or 1000 men of the Ar
my of the Faith, having attempted TO
cause some soldiers TO be shot, for want
of discipline, was suddenly abandoned
by his whole corps d'armee. 1t is even
said that there was sort of mutlny-
and that the General Of the Faith was
obliged to fly, accompanied only by a
single aid-de-camp. According to the
same story, several battaliohs had been
detached from the French army in the
vicinity, in order to keep up the block
ade of Santona. II is said that the Mar
shall, Duke of Albufera, (Suchet) is a
bout to take his departure for the army.

Success of Nina.

The packet ship Montana, Capt.
Smith, arrived late last evening, in "a
days from Have, with advices from Pa
ris to the l9thof May, four days later
than received by the London.
The accounts by this conveyance
confirm the statements Dia London of
the situation of Nina, and add
many interesting particulars OF his bril-
liant and successful operations. The
cause of Spain begins to assume a
very promising aspect, and increas-
ing sopes are entertained that the
French will not succeed in their a.
trocious design of efecting counter
revolution by force of arms. The
French General, Donadieu, was certain
iy in danger of being cut OF by the
troops of Nina and it was reported at
Paris that the whole of his force had
been destroyed. The army of the Faith
was rapidly reducing by desertion; ard
it is even stated that Qnesada had been
entirely Abandoned by his men, some of
whom he had shot
The army of Money is evidently in
prccarious situation, and we are not
without some hope that Nina may cover
himself with new glory in defeating
the arrangement, if not entirely cutting
off the flower of the French troops I'M
der this veteran general, taught in the
school of Bonapartc. 1t will be seen
that Nina hadn entered France, as the
London reports stated, but was annoying

AGairs Of Spain.

The intelligence, (says the London
Courier of the nth of May,) concern
ing the remopal Of The Spanish Court and
Government TO the Canaraes, and which
our readers will soon find confirmed by
advices received through the ordinary
channels of Transmission, places the
question of the Spanish war in totally
new light, while it seems to extinguish
all chance of its being brought to a
speedy conclusion, except upon the i'm
probable supposition that France will
march her army out Of Spain, without
accomplishing any of the objects for
which she marched it in. Should the
Cortes and the Government finally a

Canaries, taking with them the King
and Royal Family, aud empowering at

who now command under them, to car

1t will be seen, by our articles Of Foreign
News, that the cause of Spain is by no means
desperate, and that there is much encourage
ment TO hope for the defeat of the French
Army. The intelligence, (from the North Of
Spain, by the arrival at Boston,) of the bril-
liant success Of the Spanish General Nina,
although not altogether satisfactory, is render
ed somewhat probable by the accounts, of
previous date, received by the arrival at New
York from France. At any rate it is certain that
Nina had out-maneuvered the French Gener-
als-had unexpectedly gained their rear, and
CUT division Of the 'Army Of the Faith,'
those noble allies Of the French, who are paid
by Louis for warning upon their own country
men. 1t is certain, too, even from the French
accounts, that the Duke of Angouleme en-
counters difficulties which were unexpected,
and that his army had, once, made retro
grade movement.
We are well aware of the " fearful odds''
with which Spain has 20 contend; and that it
is unreasonable TO expect that France will be
easily driven from her purpose. But we do
Wbelieve the Spanish people will be subdu
ed. Their territory may be overrun, but, I'M
less they have degenerated within the last
fifteen years, hey will not submit until the
last guerrilla band shall have been destroyed.

PERP1GNAE, NAY 10:
Extract from our private correspond
ence General Donadicu entered Vich
on the 9th. There was only a slight
sklrmish in the wood Of Tosca, between
Olot and Laspresas, where we had about
80 men wounded. The enemy continu.
ed his retreat, passed over the bridge of
Roda, over the Ter, where he abandon
ed the left bank of that river, and re-
tired upon Lusanes.-There it was that
General Donadieu entered Vich, and
that enemy detached 400 men to re-
ascend the Ter by the right bank, and
taking the road from Vich to RippolI,
passed through this last city and arrived
the 9th, at Campedon, a place situated
about three leagues from our frontier,
in order to cut off our communications
with that place, whence General Dona-
dieu draws all his munitions and proyis-
ions.
The entry of this corps into Campre-
don, was announced by the sudden and
unexpected arrival Of those same monks,
who, on the 4th, at o'clock in the
morning, bad gone out of the town with
ringing of bells, to repair to their res
peclive converts, and take possession of
their rents and emoluments The arri-
val of the enemy at Rippoll, is also con-
frmed by the way of Cerdagne. On
the It'll, the inhabitants of Rippoll fed
to Cerdagne, spreading the news of the
arrival of Nina in their town. The
troops were under arms during the
whole night of the 18th, expecting mo-
mently the arrival of Mina's troops;
but the object of that chief seemed to
be to occupy Campredon, and thus cut
off the supplies of Gen. Donadieu. A
considerable convoy, which had al
ready started from Olot, returned on
the 9Th, to Prais. We know nothing of
the Interior operations Of these two
corps, We only know that on the 8;h,
Gen. Donadieu ordered the 9TH battalion
of the 18th reg't of the line which had
remained at ST. Laureat de Cerdans, in
order to cover that part of the frontier,
to march Immediately on Olot, which
they did on the 9th. The enemy ap-
pears in no wise disconnected by our en-
try into Catalonia, and those of their
partizans who remain in the villages
which we occupy, appear satisfied with
Mina's operations. The soldiers of
Eroles' division which remained in Ger
dagne, deserted every day with their
arms and baggage. The officers of the
Faith pretend that it is because they are
not paid and in fact the military chest
having followed the march of Eroles,
there has been no paymaster left in
Cerdagne for the troops of the Faith.

, Pirate Correspondence.--We learn
from travellers, that the Constitutional
Government has forbidden any inter-
course, dating from the lst instant, with
the parts of Spain occupied by the
French. 1t is true, as we have stated,
that the greater part of the families at
all easy in their circumstances, fly at
our approach. Segovia was evacuated
5 days ago. Excepting some held-pieces,
which the scholars of the artillery
school carried off TO Rodrigo, all the
materieL was abandoned for want of
means Of transportation. Madrid is al
most deserted. Every body is retiring
to the Andalusias. The roads are in
numbered with emigrants carrying off
their most precious effects. There is,
however, no detection among the troops,
and the ranks of the Faith do not in
crease. The occupation of the capital
was foreseen, and no one appears alarm
ed at the thought. The necessity of
escorting the conveys is already felt, as
certain information has been received
Of the formation of several guerrilla
corps in the provinces. We know that
the prisoners, to the number of GO,
made at the affair of Logrouo, have ar
rived at Vittoria. The efforts, howev-
err, to incorporate them with the bands
of the Faith proved unavailing; all re-
fused, declaring with the greatest ener-
gy, that they preferred to be shot.
