| FRENCH TRANS ATLANTIC STEAM NAVIGATION
| The French Government is about TO establish reg
uar line of steam packets from Havre de Grace and
Brest to New York and the different West India
islands Four splendld steam packets, OF 1900 tons
| burhen and $50 horse power, have been in active
construction AT La Rochelle and Bres,, and will be
launched at the latter end of this month. Two of
| these packets are to run regularly between Havre
| de Grace and New York, sailing on The 7'h and
| 2lst of the month, not TO Interfere with The
| English post office mails Of the Sd and 18Th TO
| Halifax and Boston from Liverpool, and the same
dates TO the West Indies, touching at the following
| ports,-G uadaloupe, Martinique, ST Domingo,
| (Havt) &c, whence branch packets vii be esiab-
| ished to Belize, (Honduras) Havannah, Carha-
ssna Chss n La Gaayr Ts Puerto Gaoeo, santa
cling with the English packe TO Antigua, Babadoes
| Berbice, Demerara, DoiniHica, Grenada, Jamaica,
| &c.
| In Spain the insurrecon appears to be thorough
ly organized throughout the enIre kingdom, and
| the warike preparations are very threatening.
| The insure ton in Spain has somewhat spread,
| yet without materially altering its character. The
| events NJ Barcelona. whence we have intelligence
| to the IL h, should inst be mentioned The adhe-
sion OF the Captain General Cortnez is ascrbed to
| a curious and almost incredible cause. 1t is said
| that on the 1lih, the agents OF France and Queen
Christina pc rsuaded the commissioned officers
| Of the regime mt in Barcelona (he regiment Of Al
| meria) to meet and issue proclamation IN favour
of the movement they did so; the private soldiers
| were passive; the non commissioned officers OF
other corps joined; they compelled their officers 10
do so; and finally the Captain General yielded. he
issued proclamation, which stated, that finding
the objects Of the Junta to be loyal and consiitu-
tional, and disliking hostites. he adhered TO the
Central Junta. The consequence was. that tho
Jnn'a returned to Barcelona from Sabadel, on the
l4h The mother and sister OF Prim having entered
il in triumph The day before.
| The triumph OF revolt, however, was far from
| comoete; for Monulch still held out tor the Gov.
eminent Ga the IL b, Colonel Pulol an officer OF
| Cortinez, presented himself al the gates of Mont.
| juich TO take the command OF II, with battalion
| intended to relieve the garrison. The Governor,
| Colonel Echabeau, refused to admit him into Tho
| fort. but held conference with HIM at the en-
trance OF one OF the posterns being accompan ed by
| the commander of the battalion into the fort Both
| refused To give w the tort so long as Luf0ano
| should hold out. Ii WAS supposed that a rumor
next day OF Zurbano's retreat from Bues would re-
move their scruples; bnt Echabeau now said, that
| he held his orders from Central Government; and
would only ender the fort the receipt OF SINH
lar orders; though, concurrng in the sentiments OF
| the troops and citizens OF Barcelona. he would COM
init no hostility, 1t none were coHmi,ted against
the fort and If his dispatches suffered freely
| to pass The possession Of Monuich determines
the military possession of Barcelona; and the tort
was well furnished with every thing, and had pro-
| visions Tor three months.
| Other towns IN Catalonia adhered To the revolu-
| tion on the 18th, FlQueiras; on the 18Th TansRo-
ma, where Osorio, the Governor, and officers tauh-
tut to the Regent embarked; Glrona, on the Huh;
and ne ar il son OF Zurbano converted himself into
| a revolutionary leader! Among other places, Car
dona, with store of 10000 mushets, had also
| Welded to The insurge nts. Lerida had a slight
| movement on the 9Th; but the Governor and Ma.
| tionaI Guard suppressed il, and $50 discontinued
left the town. Lerida is the key Of Catalonia on
| the side of Arragon
The desrrtion Of the troops here is attributed to
| the unpuncrua delivery If their pay.
The insurgents still possessed Granada and NAL
Zurbano's movements are involved in some I'M
certainty. Il had been report,d that he desisted
from his march upon Reus, and fell back upon Sa-
ragossa; hut il appears thst the 1lth he opened
fire upon Reus, and after sharp firing, Colonel
Prlm and his adherents evacuated the place, and
retreated to the mountains. At three o'clock T.
VI ZIrbanO and the inhabitants signed the terms OF
| a capitulation; and by night he had completed the
dissrmlng OF the inhabitants. Pnm arrived at Bar
ceona on the 18th
| There was some disturbance at saragossa on the
| 9Th and 8 h; but the National Guard had drawn up
a manifesto Rpuing II to "the echo of private
geance;" and the place was tranquil on the 18Th.
Advces from Madrid are to the l7h. On learn
| ing the death OF the political chief Of Valencia,
Esparero resolved to head the forces against the in
surgents and steps were taken to concentrate
troops at Saragossa. On the l4rh he issued an adj
dress to the nation, to explain conduct which
lumna'ors labored to blacken. He calls to mind
his solemn oaths on accerting the Regency, his
public pledges, and discldims every intention OF
violating them, particularly The imputed intention
| of prolonglng the term of his office. He reviews
the history of his Regency, indicating some OF ito
stronger by referring 10 the state OF the
country. He dlsclaims alike the genius and the
| ambition of Napol. on, who expiated his usurpa-
| tons rock IN the ocean; and avows his deter
mlnation to return TO The private lite whence no
| came He holds his Office only by virtue Of the
| constitutions; without the constitution, there 10 no.
thlag but ruin for him and his country; and he will
deliver up his sacred trust, not to anarchy, but only
| to the Queen and Cortes, meanw bile defending It
as a soldier. On the 10Th. he reviewed the garri-
son, and was enthusiastically cheered. On the
10Th, the Gazette contained a proclamation OF the
Regent. signed by all the lnIsters declaring lie
gal and rebelious all iuntas found in opposition TO
the Government. and ordering their members to be
| tried and punished with all the severity OF the law
