WVe bave received the Etoile, dated WVednesday, and the other Paris journals of Tuesday. They contain a report fromO'DoNNELI.on the expedition of the Spanish Constitu- tionalists against 1 arifa. The Ultra General represents the men who have engaged in this bold enterprise, and who in the outset, at least, have been successful, as completely sur. rounded and cut off by tlhe troops of FERDINAND and hiis French allies. hlVether this be the fact, a short time will show. Meantime it app-ars, that there are movements on other points of the Peninsula, and it seems not improbable that the descent on Tarifa is only a part of a general plan. A privste letter in the Quotidienne, a paper by iJo means fa. vourable to the Spanish Liberals, states that great alarm prevailed at Seville on the 6th and 7th of the presenit month; that o00 Revolutionists, under BALCARCEL, RIEGo's Lieu- tenant, had taken Irmana and Utrique, and threatened to marclh on Seville. Aleasuires were adopted for the defence of the town; on the g9th the remainder of the garrissn was mrashed against the Liberals, and it is said that the threat- ened attack was a false alarm. The same letter mentions a representation addressed by General O'DONNELL to the Go- vernment at Madrid, in which he stated, that while AnREJt'tA, CAI.ATEBAvA, and others, were allowed to re- side in Gibraltar, there would always be reason to fear the Liberals; and that he stuspected the Governor had an understanding witb the conspirators against FERDINANID. On receiving this representation, the Spanish M,inister ad- dressed a note to Sir WILLIAM A'CoURT, whlieh is stid to have excited the indignation of the latter. Sir WILMLAM is stated to have gone in person to the Spanish Minister, and to have expressed hiis astonishment that such a charge s-hoild have obtained credlit on the report of a man of so little considleration as O'DoNNELL. The follo-wing is O'DoNNELL'S report on the affair of Tarifa:- " A perfidious faction, composed of about 200 Spanish refugeee, and other obscure individuals olZe town of Gibraltar, having taken arms.r prepared an expedition under the command of the ex-Colonel Francisco Vdldez. This troop having embarked in the bay, succeeded in seizing on the town and island of Tarifa. surprising the weak garrison just as it opened the gates on the 3d of August at day.break, "Dct!chments of infantry and cavalry, under the command of' Colonel Joseph Barrados, marchetd immefliatclv from Algesiras to- wards Tarifa- Ho immediately blockaded the place by laud, the rebels not daring to attempt a sally. On the evening of the 6th, a French friUate, with troops of all arms, commanded by General Count Astorg, arrived. The blockade was then made much stricter, and at the same time, three French thips of war, a Spanish st.hooncr, and four armned boats from Alzesiras, appeared before the port, So that a1l means of retreat for these criminals are cut off: They have not even provisions to liold out in the place, and fresh troops are artiving speedilv to chastise their presumptirn.
