MENORANDUN.—" The undersigned went this morning, at ten o'clock, on board of Admiral Baron Hamelin s ship, and held a conversation with the said Admiral as to the British schooner Susannah and Maria being prevented by the French squadron from proceeding on her voyage ; this vessel and other Bri tish vessels m the port having taken in the most part of their cargoes on the faith of Admiral Hatnelin'f promise. The Admiral observed, that he could not allow any vessel whatsoever to pass in or out of the port of Cadiz, in consequence of instructions from his Royal Highness the Duke d'Angouleme. " The undersigned, on finding the Admiral de termined to evade his promise, handed him his (the undersigned's) protest, inclosing that of the Master of the vessel. (Signed) " JOSEPH EGAN, Vice and Acting Consul." % CADIZ, JULY 23. Nothing could have been more energetic and suc cessful than the measures adopted by the Govern ment for the defence of this place. Notwithstanding the blockade; a full stock of provisions has been laid in for fonr months, calculating all the troops and per sons dependent on the Government. The works were begun in good earnest, and have continued with the greatest activity, and they are now neai ly completed. Ample supplies of money have nut been wanting to meet all these expenses. Supplies of money and pro visions have also been sent to Carthagena, Alicant, and Tarifa, and muskets, money, and provisions have also been sent off to Mina. _ _ _ A letter from Xeres, of the 18th, says that tl►e French have converted the Convent of La Merced into an hospital, and demanded 900 beds. They have also taken the Carthusian Convent for the same purpose. We suspect the 900 beds above alluded to aze for the 900 wounded in eur last sortie. The few brave men we had wounded did not require hospitals ; the inhabitants emulously took them to their houses to take care of them. ripo COUNTRY AGENTS who are in the habit 1. of getting their Newspapers from London by the early Morning Coaches: The MORNING lIERALD is regularly published to the Newsmen at the early hour of five o'clock every morning, except during the sitting of Parliament.--Office of the Morning Herald, No. 18, Catharine-street, Strand. • THE EVENING STAR.

We received at a late hour this forenoon, by an Express from Paris, the Pilate of Tuesday. The intelligence which it contains is, if authentic, of great importance. After noticing the propositions made to the Cortes by the Duke d'Atwoucests, and the hopes which had been entertained of an end being put to the war, it adds—" But to-day rye are obliged to state, with great regret, that all hopes of an arrangement are dtvidedly lost." A letter is also quoted from a Colo nel of the Staff of BALLASTIIIO3, in which it is af firmed that there was merely a suspension of hostili ties between that General and the French, until the reault of the negociatious at Cadiz should be known and that in the event of no arrangement being come to, hostilities would be renewed. The foll9wing arc the latest accounts from Cadiz: PORT ST. MARIE, AUGUST 93. Nothing is spoken of in the army but about the expedition which is preparing against the Lk of Leon. Twelve battalion% of which five ate of the Guard, are at this moment united at Rota. This night our gun-boats sailed, from the Prado under a heavy fire of the enemy's batteries, to receive on board all the troops united at Rota. Two ships of our squadron are to conduct them to the south of the Island of Loon. The &Mossier silences the enemy's batteries and secures the. landing of our troops.— If Goa protects this enterprize, and if the two first battalions can make good their landing, the expedi tion will be accomplished; and the position of the Isle of Leon once carried, Cadiz cannot hold out 24 hours. This night or the next the troops will be embarked, and the grand day for the attack, it is said, will be the day of the fete of the King. Our troops are well disposed ; the sea is fine, and the wind does not blow strong ; all gives hopes of a happy re sult. Two Portuguese ships have this moment rein forced our cruizers. We received, this morning, the Paris Papers of Sunday and Monday. They contain the official ac• counts of the occupation of Corunna by the French, and accounts of the progress of affairs before Cadiz to the 23d ultimo. The following are extracts: ARMY OF THE PYRENNEES. REPORT OF THE MARSHAL DUKE OP REGGIO TO HIS EXCELLENCE THE MARSHAL MINISTER OF WAR. " Madrid, August 15. " My Loco—General I3ourck reports to me that the troops of the Second Division of the First Corps of the Army entered on the 21st, in the morn ing, into Corunna, where there were still about four thousand in garrison, a great quantity of warlike stores, and provisions of all kinds. " Among the Officers of distinction in the garri. son are General Novella, the Governor, Campillo, Commander of the Militia of Bilboa, and the Pastor, Partisan Chief.—. Accept, &c. (Sigurd). BY AN EXTRAORDINARY COURIER. GRAND HEAD-QUARTERS. " Port St. Mary, August n. " The Marshal Duke of ItEGGIO." 44 Our approaches are continued with vigoUr ; 50 voltigeurs were sufficient to make 400 Revolutionists re-embark, who had menaced us from Trocadero.— There has been some cessation of firing on the part of the enemy since yesterday ; but his Royal High ness has not, on this account, thought it prudent to slacken the woz ks, and we hope shortly to be in pos session of all the continent from Trocadeto to Fort Matagorda. It was wished yesterday that the Prince would retire from the perilous situation in which he was placed, but he would not consent to it. A soldier of the Old Tenth col the line), now a grenadier of the Royal Guard, who was amongst the wotkmen, ex claimed, " It happens here, as at the Pont de la Drone. Monseigneur has inspected the out-works ; but he must approach nearer in order to see the enemy': The general assault, it is said, will take place on die Anniversary of the Fete of St. Louis.— This morning the Prince Generalissimo reviewed 12 battalions, which last night concentrated in the posi tion of Rota. •' Me marines are rivals of the troops in devoted ness to the King."

General Barbot sends him to Pats, thence to send him into Spain, if there is occasion." BARCELONA, AUGUST to. General Rotten exercises despotic power at Barce lona, and supported by the Revolutionists, seems disposed to hold out in the defence of this important place. The means, however, he employs are so via lent, that they must excite a strong party of the po pulation against him. Last night he caused an attack to be made on the post occupied by the Std Regiment of the Line, with cries of Vive la Liberte I They were ♦igorously re pulsed with cries of Vive le Rol! In the morning about three hundred addresses from French refugees 'to the French army were picked up. They excited nothing bat contempt. At ten o'clock nest day, the Revolutionary bud lions were observed proceeding from the gate St. An toine, followed by the whole of the cavalry, and. many pieces of artillery. About 200 shots were fired from the ramparts, without wounding a single man. Our artillery returned the fire with effect. The ene my's columns were arrested in their progress, and for about an hour their leaders seemed indecisive. With out daring to engage our tirailleurs, they re-entered Barcelona, where it will be difficult for them to make the blindest of their partisans believe that they had the courage to meet our brave troops. The blockade of Bata:lona is complete. The smallest vessels cannot enter. Meat is 30 sous a pound, and wine ten sous a bottle. v44I3ItELLIC, AUGUST s 4. The enemy seemed disposed to make a stand in Tarragona. At our approach they retired under the walls of this place. They evacuated Iteus when they found that we had occupied Yale. To-morrow we approach Tarragona to commence the blockade of that place: The garrison Of Figueras is much harassed. The ration is reduced, and the discontent of .the troops is increasing. San Miguel suspects that he is threatened with an insurrection, and openly declares that he can not hold out to the end of September. BLOCKADE OF PAMPELUNA, AUGUST IL • Everything is in a state of readiness for the siege. General d'Espagne and the superior Officers, French and Spanish, complimented Marshal de Lanriston, who arrived the day before yesterday. The Marshal and General d'Espagne ,determined on the plan of attack, and on the various points to be occupied by the troops. PERPIGNAN, AUGUST Sm. According to accounts from Berga, the enemy bad a position at Guisana on the 19th. He was followed by a large convoy of cattle and swine. The rear guard was formed of the principal exaltados, becalm Milan: was afraid that he might lose 1000 men by desertion. They intended first to go to the Seu d'Urgel, but in consequence of our movements they have directed their march on Lerida. PARIS, AUGUST 31. Yesterday his Majesty heard Mass in his apart ments; after which he received the Marshals and Peers of France, the Deputies of France, and a num ber of General Officers. His Majesty did not go out. All the vessels which had been equipped at Seville for the bombardment of Cadiz have reached their des tination. If this unfortunate city should refuse to open its gates, it will certainly be abyssed in fire. It is said that the Council of War held at St. Mary's, immediately after the arrival of the Duke of Angouleme, discussed the question whether it would be proper to make, without delay, a serious attack on the Isle of Leon ? It is said, that after maturely discussing this important question, it was agreed that success might be expected by combining the attack in such a manner that it should take place at once by land and sea. It is said that this idea prevailed in the Council, and that in pursuance the moot precise orders were given; that everything was in motion for the attack by land ; that all the flat. bottom boats and gun-boats to be found on the coast were collect. ing and arming with every expedition; and that it was expected it would be practicable to commence the bombardment on the 24th or 25th of August. The Members of the Council of War adduced in support of their opinion, the hope which must be en tertained that a simultaneous attack on the Isle of Leon, pushed with all possible vigour, would neces. sarily cause a sensation within the walls of Cadiz, and would there produce some movement favourable to the French army. It is farther said, that this consider ation is one of those which most contributed to the determination to make the attack by land and sea.— If these reports are well founded, decisive news may be speedily expected. The newsmongers, who re peat these rumours, appear to speak with some an cettainty on the intentioni of Ballasteros. They re collect that the military convention, or, if it must be so caned, the capitulation of that General, was signed by the Chief of his Staff, and that nothing has since been heard of his having ratified it. The last Bul letin still repeats that the orders of General Ballas teros have been transmitted to the Governors of Car thagena and Alicant; but that 66 no answer could yet be received." About a month has, however, elapsed since the convention with Baliasteros was signed by the Chief of his Staff. The last Bulletin also repeats that " the troops of- Ballasteros are re pairing to the cantonments assigned to them." These troops, then, are not destined to act is the same manner as those of General Morino? The Conventions concluded with Ballasteros are not, then, the same as those concluded with the Count of Carthagena?— One circumstance seems to prove this to demonstra tion. We know that Morillo sent an Aide-de-Camp to the Regency to notify the arrangement which he had concluded, but as yet nothing indicates that there has been, on the part of Ballasteros, any act of sub mission towards the Government of Madrid.—Con stitutionnd. NATARO, AUGUST 27. The corps of Milan: and Lloberas having lost all hopes of relieving Seu Urgel, made a movement on Tarragona, but being closely followed, a part of them could only get into the place ; and Milsuxs, with a part of his force, was obliged to take a position with. out the walls of that town. Mina continues in Bar celona, and the state of his health is very bad. We have received to-day the following accounts from Bayonne : BAYONNE, AUGUST 26. Though we have an extraordinary number of let ters from Madrid to-day, they do not bring us any thing remarkable. The Regency have ordered that those among the persons still in prison who are in bad health shall be immediately put upon their trial, that their confinement may be as short as possible.-. Other accounts, however, say that all persons con fined for political offences are already set at liberty. Nothing is said of the army, which is the effect of the suspension of arms. The last news from Cadiz, since the arrival of the Dube at Port St. Mary's, continue to give a favour-• i able account of the health of the King and the Royal Family. There. is a report of an engagement at-Ellin, in Murcia, between the troops of Sessieres and those of I LoCho, in which the loss is'said to have been pretty equal, about 100 men ort . each side. There are reports at Madrid of a m'ovenun lof the troops of Lopez Banos and Amon, w 4,600 men, between the capital and Talave 'are said to have sent some parties within twee of Madrid; but it has been affirmed, on a hand, that they have concluded a suspension with the Duke of Reggio, as introductory final submission..
