pers OF the 10Th Of August contaian letter
from the agent of Lloyd's at Genoa, dated
August z. Or this communication we shall
merely observe. that the French have already
ackuo" lodged that there had been some fight
ing in Catalonia about the dates mentioned in
the Genoa letter, of which the following is AN
EXT act.
{" A vessel arrived this morning which sail
ed on the I'd inst. from San Felicio, coast Of
Catalonia. The master OF which reports, that
on The eth uit. three divisions. commanded
by Milans, LIoberas, and Mans, attacked the
French near Manresa, that "a very obstinate
battle took place, which lasted days, in
which the French lost about 5000 prisoners,
and great humber of killed aud wounded,
aud that the Spaniaid DIS sci fire 10 Manresa !;
that on the Goth ult. Generals Nina and
Rotten sailed out from Barcelona with all
their forces, and attacked the French on the
S0th, near Mafaro that the battle was not
ended on the Cd instant, when he sailed, a,
he saw great fire along the coast, and on the
tops OF the mountains, so shat the final result
of this action is yet unknown"
The French papers contain nothing further
about the negotiations of the Coites, or the
liberation of Ferdinand. The Duke d'Angou-
leme was 10 be al Cordova on the 12th
The Courier says" There has been, we
suspect, more fighting in Catalonia, than is adj
mitted by the accounts from that quarter, and
we should not br surprised tn find that the ad-
vices received AT Lloyd's from their agen, at
Genoa, told some truths upon that snbect.-
We are led to form this opinion from com
pairing the dates in those advices, and in The
las official accounts from Marshal Money"
IL is still said that BallasterOss army did not
Join in his detection, and that his treason can
not therefore materially affect the Spanish
cause Zayas and Riego, ii is said, were To take
the command throughout Andalusia. The
Empecina,lo is active.
Ii is reported that the Duke of Wellington
and Lord +. Somerset are about to proceed
on a mission In CadZ.
A party Of French officers accommodating
San'ona on the side Of the sea, experienced ~
serious disaster on the 9TH of September. A
bomb from the garrison struck one of the YES
sells, on board OF which some of the staff had
embarked. The consequence was, the loss of
Captain Lacroix, one of the Duke d'Angou-
eme's adrs-de-camp Captain MeZrray. nf
the I'd Hussars /; and Lieut. Breaudre,ille. of
the 9Th regiment of Artillery. Several do
mestics and some seamen are also said TO have
been victims fthe explosion.
In Catalonia the war continues with una
batrd activity. One French account saws
p" Although affairs are going on with great ra-
pidity IN Andausia, Catalonia continues 10
present the same aspect Barcelona is not
yet invested every where we experience AN
obstinate resistance. 1t appears that in thai
part of the Peninsula the campaign has only
begun"

Constitution, having taken place at Lisbon.
Neither in the papers nor letters, we are hap
Ply to see, Ii any thing said of Zayas having
joined IN the capiulation of BaIlasteros, nor of
inc surrender of any of the important places
st. Sebastian, Pampeluna, Carihagena, AL
icant, &c. over which Ballasteros's command
extended. Into the first of these places it is
mentioned Ballasterss's summons could not
get admlttance, as the garrison was occupied
IN firing on the blockaders. The CONSTITUTIONS
mel says that Taragona has been supplied with
arms, provisions, and money by an English
brig, on whose account does not appear

1t would appear that the Duke d'Angou
leme and the Spanish Regency are on terms
which demand arbitrary enactments on the
part of the former TO restrain the furious row
atty of the latter. The Courier gives decree
from the Duke, dated Anduiar, 9th inst. which
he quotes as received, without vouching for its
authenticity. Circumstances warrant some
dependence upon il.

be held at Milan the ensuing winter, respect

Nina, II is said, has imposed loan of
100000 piastres on the principal merchants Of
Barcelona. On the 18th instant, an insurrec-
ton took place in that city, occasioned perhaps
by this heavy exaction. II was speedily aueI-
ed, however, and some ofthe ringeaders es-

harbour. Others, we are told were executed
