Mississippi, dated 23th ult. he is informed the yellow fever has again visited Naichez that business there is enttrcly suspended, and the city deserted. The Corydon paper says, " the money is now in the hands of the Ai;ent for the Pensioners, due the 4th inst." lly the same paper, it appears that the governor has appointed Thomas Posey, Adjutant General of Indiana Militia.

We shall, however, notice some of the chief things that arc mentioned. Spain. The wonderful stones of the conquests of Prance in Spain, arc thus happily ridiculed by the Courier Francais "Mina, seven weeks ago, had 700 men under his command. With these 700 men he made a precipitate flight. Out of these 700 men 8000 deserted. In his flight, Mina attacks Vieh with 1000 men, where he lose half his forces by desertion, and 2000 in killed and wounded. How many remained? Ballastcros was abandoned by all his troops except three incorrigible constitutionalists. I lo divides his three constitutionalists into several parties. These parties arc attacked I)) the detachments of Moliors division; and, out of three constitutionalists, Ballasteros loses 1700 ! fand retires at the head ol ten thousand menA Abisbal, be

fore his defection, had 1500 men; his defection lessened this number at least one third. Zryas collected the remains of Abisbal's 1500 men; and it is with these remains we find him on the road to Sc ville, commanding 5000. l The majority of the royalists in Spain is immense, possessing both money and arms. The minority or the constitutional party is extremely weak, and without cither arms or money; consequently, it is clear that wc should march to the relief of the armed majority, which the unarmed minority oppresses. uOur finances arc in the highest state of prosperity. The Spanish war does not cost the treasury a centime. Consequently, we arc going to sell 23 millions of annuities. "The troops which wc, at present, have in Spain are sufficient to re-establish the power of king Ferdinand. We rrc, therclbrcjoing immediately to send a reinforcement of 40,000 men." Many small affairs are reported through the French papers, but there is an evident want of candor in them, and wc shall not attempt to recapitulate them It may be ttcncrallv said that the invaders have not yet gained any decided advantage that the Spanish armies arc all of them entire, and that forty thousand additional troops

were pushing into Spam. So it is very certain that country is not conquered! One report says that Morillo has attacked and defeated the French; another that he has abandoned the constitutional cause. It was thought that the British meddling minister, sir William A'Court, would proceed immediately home to the great joy of every honest and honorable Spaniard. It is reported that the late minister, San Miguel, has taken a command in the constitutional army. Mina goes to and fro, pretty much as he pleases, and gives ample employment to the whole of Moncey's army; which, powerful as it is, has not affected any thing important, except to watch the gallant Spaniard. Mina appeals to be well supplied with money. It is prohtblc that he has captured some of the French convoys, as has been reported The French were preparing to besiege Barcelona. Phe step father of Mina, who resides in Corunna, had received a letter from this general, in which he savs "The factious royalists run very wrll; but the French are not much behind them.'' Letters from Catalonia say, positively, that the public spirit is so strong, that such numbers present themselves for the service, that Mina might have an army of 30,000 men, and cover every position. Since the preceding was prepared, wr have numerous arrivals from EngI Andy France and Spain and seme of the vessels have h;id very short passages: stilly we dj nzt vbnerve that any great cr decisive event h is happened. Things remain pretty much as 'hey were in Spain. ll'e can net do mire n-w than very brirfty notice some of the c;;ar'.itlu most important matters.

The Turks, at Zeitown, finding that they could not hold the place, massacred all the Greeks, men, women and children, set fire to the town and retired ! The Greeks were waiting impatiently for the appearance of the Turkish fleei that they may avenge on the water the barbarisms on the land. Lcpanto has been captured by the Greeks, and the large and valuable island of Negropont has surrendered to them. It contains some of the most im portant fortresses of Greece.

The papers say that Madrid was suffering for every thing, except houses and water, provisions of all kinds being scarce and dear. Bread at Madrid was selling at forty five cents per pound so it ii said. It was reported at Madrid that the traitor general Bessiercs had been killed in one of his rccontres with the Spaniards.

All the strong fortresses of Spain still hold out, and it is very remarkable that the French have not yet taken one place tha the Spaniards attempted to defend. Many small battles, or rather skirmishes, are mentioned in the French bulletins but somehow, the Spaniards destroyed on one day, arc fighting again on the next. It is stated that the Spanish troops at Barcelona amount to 1 5 000 men, that they can be increased 10,0' 0 more if nfscssary arms and provisions being abffidant. Nothing permitted to be known as

to the military preparations at Cadiz, but j

it seems the greatest effotts were making on the isle of Leon and at Cadiz proper. It is stated that the Spaniards having more troops than they want, have actually disbanded two battalions of the national militia. Cadiz, July 10.
