THE QUARTER'S REVENUE. We have already prepared our Readers to expect a highly favourable account of the produce of the Reve nue for the Quarter which ends this day, and are happy to say that the surplus promises to be even greater than we had anticipated. The accounts are kept open till the close of bubiness this afternoon, so that a correct state ment of them cannot appear before to-morrow. We may mention now, however, that the principal augmentation is in the Customs—the most indirect, and therefore the least burdensome branch of our Revenue' The increase which they will exhibit during this Quar ter, as compared with the corresponding Quarter of last year, will exceed FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND POUNDS; and on the three Quarters of the Year ending 10th Oc tober there will appear a total Surplus of about Five Hundred and Seventy Thousand Pounds. The Duties too, which have produced and continue to produce most,are thOse on articles in ordinary demand, such as wood, jron, &c. betokening clearly an increased activity in the main channels of our national industry. the military, who had escaped from the Isla de Leon, entered Cadiz, and persuaded the troops to listen to. no, terms. Thus the termination of the war is delayed by the presence in Cadiz of troops who had fled from the Isla in a cowardly manner. 'Mete is little doubt that, at the present moment, Cadiz is in the possession of the French." a PAtuc, WEDNIESVAII:, It. K.

Monseigneur,.4 had the honour of rendering an as count to your Ezcellency, of the occupation of the fort of Figueras by the allied troops. The garrison amounted at the moment of its surrender to 2410. It was composed of the battalions of Navarre, Arragon, and Murcia ; siz hundred were sick. "The garrison had still provisions for about twenty days: by reducing the rations one third, they might have held out for a month. "The number of cannon was 139. The stores con, sisted of 86,850 kilogrammes of powder, 4288 bombs, 2833 shells, 93,127 balls, 13,320 grenades, 1,432,426 cartridges, and 3438 quintals of case-shot. " The 2d battalion of the sth line, and sth battalion of the Royal Spanish division, form now the garrison of Figueras. They are commanded by M. de Cornier, Lieu tenant-Colonel of the sth Line. Orders have been given for immediately provisioning the fortress for a month. " The column which left Tarragona, as 4 have already reported to your Excellency, 10 commanded by San Miguel. It amounts to 9,000 infantry, and 300 horse. From Lerida it took the direction of Benefar. The allied troops placed themselves between the enemy and Lerida, to separate them from that place, and render it impossible for them to return into Catalonia. Baron d'Eroles and General Tromelip occupied Tamarita, while Santos ladrpp was stationed at Fraga with 2,500 men, well organized. We are assured that the garrison of Lerida amounts only to 800 men. Among whom are 400 provincial militia, " Another column of 2,000 infantry and 100 horse at empted to leave Tarragona on the 29th of September, at eight o'clock in the morning, and moved towardsValls , leaving Valmol:on the left. About the half of these troops pushed forward to Valls, while the other took a position between Secuita and Culler. A battalion of the Ist Light Infantry occupied the latter village. The other battalion was at Riera. General Achard assembled at Cellar these two battalions, and 40 horse of the 6th chasseurs. 46 To support this movement, Baron Montgarde marched from Altafulla six companies of the 81st Line, a battalion of the 18th, and 50 horse. In making his dispositions for the attack, General Achard's principal object was to cut off the retreat of the Constitutional troops to Tarragona. Alarmed by these manseuvres, the enemy retreated with the greatest precipitation.— The tst Light mid the detachme n t of the 6th phasseurs, though they marched with the utmost rapidity to Lo rito, could only overtake the rear-guard of the enemy. Attacked by our infantry, charged by our chasseurs, the rear-guard fled in the greatest disorder, and was pursued to the very walls of Tarragona.

" Marshal the Duke de Ccumegliano, SIONCEY." FROM THIC ETOILL OF WEDNESDAY. MADRID, OCT. 3. pY AN EXTRAORDLNARY COURIER: The attention of all the inhabitants of this capital, incessantly directed towards Cadiz, was diverted for an instant yesterday by the arrival of the too famous Riego within our walls. ment of Spanish troops, and some French soldiers, vaned a cart, upon which was seated the author of all our disasters. The escort entered by the gate of Sa n Bernardino, where he was delivered to the guard oi the Count de Torre-Alta. All the adjacent streets were immediately occupied by detachments of infintry, a n d they were patrolled by parties of cavalry, which did not permit any person to approach the prison. One of our Journals observes, on this subject, that if the Con. stitutionalists had basely assassinated the Canon Vinuesa, whilst in chains, it is only the stronger motive for the ' Royalists to display their superior moral principles, leaving to justice the task of punishing the guilty.. Towards evening beds were prepared fer the folic prisoners. Riego told the keeper a the prison that he, expected to be treated as a General. " What r ‘ .e l ;:Aiesi the gaoler, " you a General ! Do not you know that everything is now on the same footing in which it sea t before your 7th of March, )820?—Do you think that we will acknowledge in you the prate of your treason?, It has been decided that Riego will be treated as a sin, pie Officer, at the same time impressing upon hial that even this was an act of pure generosity on the part of the Royalists." He went to bed without replying. The following are extracts from our letters from hurl St. Mary of the 28th and 29th September. It is certain that Count Tonics had cactieJ a letter from the King to his Royal Highness, in which his Majesty considered himself to sure of his liberty, that he begged the Prince to state by what route he should go to meet him at his head-quarters, His Royal High, ness had already answered, that the shortest way was to cross the bay, and disembark at Port St. Mary's. The following particulars we have gleaned from per, sons worthy of credit at The propositions of the delivery of the Ring. which were made under the conditicuis of the 27th, are now become a motive of such exaggerated demands, Char they have been rejected indignantly by _the pukc of Angouleme, and Alava, the bearer of it, forbidden m present himself again with other than pure and sierik terms of submission of Cadiz. We are assured that the condition :et on the King's liberty, was the poses._ sion during two months, under the dominion of the Cortes, of are Isle of Leon, the City of Cadiz, and . all the strong places still in the power of the C•mstitutionalists. and that they may he permitted to traffic, and 414 communication with the rest of Spain and, all O A countries. The madness of the Revolutionists goes tq far as to recinire the dissolution of the Regency of Afa, drid, as incompatible with the liberty 9f the King, the sole legitimtte Government. The opposite parties in Cadiz are on the point of cut, ting each other's throats in this unhappy city. There is in fact no effective Constitutional force here, except the Militia of Madrid. Those of Cadiz consult oply their repose and the resumption of their commercial oFtla,.. tions. They ridicule and disobey the pxalWo, officeA who had been placed over them, without disguise. The I Commandant of the parish of St. Martial had assembled his battalion before the sacred storm, and had declared to them that he was going to set out to reconquer Sand Petri. At those words all the troop cried out, " Tlita go alone, and the devil take you I" Immediately aft% these brave militia returned to their houses, and 414 comtnam4pc did not dare to interrupt them. Tweatt similar insurrections led to the events which happened on the 27th, of which the most remarkable, widrod doubt, is the voluntary dissolution of the Cortes ! The Commandant -General of the I.le of Leon has signified that in consequence of the spirit di splaTed by 44 troops, and the dispositions which the French had made i lit would be impossible for him to defend it, and that hE would therefore retire forthwith behind the Rio Arius —Ellis lies between thf city of San VeFO4o4° P 4 Torre-qurda.l The Municipality of San Fernando, has announced itl intention of capitulating with the French, in order tl avoid the horrors of an assault. At the same time Valdes stated to the Cortes *pit) Constitutional flotilla could make only useless effettlfif the defence of the city. A frozen consternatioa 1,11!: ceeded the revolutionary exultation. The Cortes held a Secret Sitting, in which were oCJ discussed the means of coming to an understandis; with the Government as to the safety of the compr: mired individuals. 4 Public Sitting immediately sit' ceeded this, iu which a message to the Ring way* creed, supplicating him to deign to .open ufgocia t i o A with the French General, on whatever term s lie judge proper. The King replied, that he could pot enter 0! negotiation: Then followed a second meeting of ?I Cortes, and a second message to the Ipeg. The 40 answer was given to this. There was a third r4set?"

Oft iirtervie, w # a SURRENDER OF CADIZ. Yesterday, after our Paper was gone to Press, we re ceived the important intelligence that Cadiz had capi tulated, and that FERDINAND VII. and the ROyal Fa mily were at Port St. Mary. This news we communi cated in a considerable part of our Impression. The French Papers of Wednesday, with the Pilate of Thurs day (which is always dated a day in advance), reached us this morning by Express. They confirm the intelli genCe of the liberation of the KING, but are silent as to the fate of Cadiz. We have, however, by a second Express. received a letter from our Correspondent in Paris, dated Wednes- 1 day evening, stating, that a telegraphic dispatch had that moment been received, announcing the surrender of Cadiz. We have still to learn the terms of capitu lation, or whether the surrender was unconditional. The KIN° is said to have promised the Cortes that he would not prosecute them for their political opinions —but will this satisfy the Ultras? We suspect not; and unless they have escaped to Cadia, or have the pro tection of the French Army, we fear the result. The following are two letters received this morning: FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT. fi PA RLS, Ocr. 8, 10 o'Clock A. M.

According to late news from the Continent, the desertion or the Albanians has been more considerable than was at first stated. The day after the news of the defeat of the Turks in Livadia reached the Albanians forming the army of Joussouff Pacha, they demanded their pay,•which was paid them; they then deManded three months pay in advance ; and on this being re fused, they broke out into open rebellion, so that the Pacha had just time to save himself on board a vessel, which carried him, with four of his people, to Patras. The Albanians made themselves masters of his trea sures, and of his military chest. As they bad agreed with-the Greeks to have a free passage to Albania, they marched towards Macrynoros to the number of 800, singing songs of triumph at the defeat of the Turks, and particularly at the defeat of Joussouff Pacha. Omar Vrione is said to have stimulated this revolt out of jellousy. If the Greeks should obtain a few mo: e succe ses, we should see this Pacha fighting under the victorious banners of the Cross. SelicuLar Pass, one of the bravest Albanian Chiefs, who commanded in 'rims saly lately, informed a friend of his at Patras of the de feat of the Tusks, and concluded with expressing his opinion that it was impossible to stop the Greek insur rection. He added,the Greeks entrenched in the mountains, who, with one or two hundred men, braved the Turkish Empire, ate now at the head of powerful armies formed on their own model.—Accustomed to brave death, and support fatigue and privations, they are most terrible when surprised in small numbers. They disperse easily, and re-unite as by enchantment. Our Albanians might defend themselves by their agility, but the Turks are everywhere destroyed. The Ottoman troops are not sufficient to undertake any decisive ope ration against an enemy whose skill equals his courage. It the Turkish Government, the Divdet, could bring a more powerful army into the field, which I believe to be impossible, it could not support it for one month in Livadia. This country is therefore for ever lost to the Turks.—French Paper. SPAIN. FROM THE FRENCH PAPERS OF MONDAY. PORT ST. MARY, SEPTEMBER 28. Considerable commotion was experienced at Cadiz yesterday morning. The body of the Cortes, alarmed at the increasing agitation of the people and the dispo sition of the troops, assembled, when they recognised the supreme authority of the King. and dissolved them- selves. The people ran about the streets, crying— " rit'e I: Roil" This morning, at nine o'clock, Count de Torres, the King's QCntlenian, arrived here, bringing a letter to his Royal Highness from his Majesty Ferdinand VII. in winch he announced that he was at liberty, and that on the following day he would repair to Port St. Mary. Monseigneur was at Chiclana, whither the Count de Torres was obliged to repair. M. the Duke of Angou leme returned here this evening. An order has been issued to the Body Guards, now at Xeres,to return here, for the purpose of attending the King of Spain, in the ev,ent of his arrival to-morrow. 'The white flag is flying in the squadron, and also on the walls of Cadiz. I observed it this morning from the store, whence I was hastening ; and I see it at the moment lam writing. They are busied in decorating' . the bridge with garlands and flowers, in expectation of the King.—Ballastfros has art ived here. CIIICLANA, SEPT.2B. His Royal Highness went this morning to inspect the military preparations against the Isle of Leon, when a grape shoe, from the enemy's bank, fell close to his Royal Highness, who was covered with dust. "Mon seigneur," exclaimed General de Bethiz, " suppose your Royal Highness had been struck ?"—" I should have died in good company," said the Prince, with great indifference; and his Royal Highness continued his lipe of inspection, amidst the acclamations of the army. All on the sudden, and at once, our hostile prepara, tions were exchanged for pacific dispositions. To-day, on going from Mass, the Duke of Angouleme received a letter from the King of Spain, by one of his gentle men, who had arrived at Port St. Mary. In this letter the King informed the Prince—" That he was at liberty; that the Cortes was dissolved ; and that he wished to know his Royal Highness's dispositions, having an in tention to land at Putt St. Mary. He added, that he had promised not to pursue any one on account of po litical opinions, but nothing more; and that he should not engage in the affairs of Government till after his return to Madrid." His Royal Highness will return to Port St. Mary, at four o'clock to-morrow morning. Orders have been given throughout the line to desist from firing. MADRID, OC'T'OBER 2.-Tim A. M. I hasten to furnish you with some details of *hat has transpired before Cad z, On the 28th of September the Qortes met at Cadiz, and detes mined, by a majority of 60 against 30, that it was necessary to restore to the King his supreme (abso lute) power. At two o'clock in the afternoon, the Cortes appointed a Deputation to communicate the result Of then deliberations, by which his Majesty was left fully at liberty to leave Cadiz. They sent off messengers at the same time to Chiclana, to request of the Prince w lime he wished the King to repair to. Uis Royal High ness then mentioned Port St. Mary as the place. At one o'clock precisely the King dispatched one of the Gentle men of his Bedchamber to announce his deliverance to the Ptince. At tour o'clock the Cortes had declared t! lernselves disailved, and at half after four the white flag was flying in the roads and upon the ramparts of Cadiz. The estafctte from head-quarters, who brought this intelligence, reached Madrid this morning at six o'clock. Marshal the Duke of Reggio had got on hot seback to be present at the arrival of Riese. The dispatches were forwarded to him upon the spot, and when he opened them he lost no time in informing his Staff and the troops of the happy result. As for the transporting delights of the inhabitants of Madrid, it is impossible to describe them. ltiego, with his three accomplices, has arrived, and are committed to ptisoll - FROM THE MADRID seurtNA La OF THE 2D or OCTOBER : We have been, for the last twenty-four hours, in aji agitation quite impossible to describe. The whole popu lation is net, and are heedless 'of food or sleep. The _ _ _ sent a flag of truce into Cadiz with proposals from his Royal Highness the Duke of Angonleme, who was in structed to declare, at the same parley, that, if they were not accepted, the gat risnn would be pursued with all the rigours oE war, his Royal Highness being deter mined in that event to retaliate on the heads of the Public Author hies any onttage that should be committed against the King and the Royal Family. " In order to enforce this declaration, the Prince Generalissimo had embarked a body of 6000 men, at Port de Rosa, under the command of Count de Bour mont, who was accompanied by the Prince de Carignan. 64 By a subsequent dispatch of the 28th ult. Don Vic tor Saez, by order of the President the Duke del Infan tado, acquaints the Regency, that the Cortes of Cadiz had dissolved themselves on the 27th, leaving the King to the full enjoyment of the riglit'of Sovereignty. It is added, that Count de Cones, the Gentleman of his Ma jesty's Bedchamber, was proceeding to Port St. Mary, in order to repair to the headquarters of the Duke of Angouleme at Chiclana, for the purpose of imparting this intelligence to his Royal Highness in the name of l our Lord the King. 44 We are expecting the particulars of the liberation of his Majesty ; and the moment they arrive we shall hasten to communicate them to the Public." While all persons were eagerly reading the above' Gazette, a note, to the same effect, appeared in the Re staurador of the Ist of the present month. It went further; for it stated that Count de Cones was to receive the or ders of the Duke of Angonleme for occupying the Isle of Leon. Count de Cones slept on board the ship Asia ; and when, in the morning, he advanced to Port St Mary, he carried a white flag. ODDER. CIE"f HE DAY.—EXTII ACT. " ST. SEAASTIAN.
