" BULLETIN. f:-Marshal the Duke of lteggio, the Commander-in- Chief of the Ist Corps of the Army, reports to his Royal Highness the surrender, by capitulation, of the corps of narea—(The particulars are already known). gi The operations against Cadiz are pursued with vi gour. The flotilla receives every day new reinforce ments. Since the taking of the Trocadero, our troops have been constantly occupied with the establishment of, batteries, destined to stop the navigation of the ships of the enemy, as also the works which he has near the place. The bombs discharged from these batteries, have yesterday set fire to the immense magazines of wood near Puntales. The fire lasted all night, and is not yet extinguished. Monseigneur passed in review, on the 2d of September, the troops which took part in the affair of the 31st of August, and delivered himself, to the offi cers, sub-officers, and soldiers, who particularly distin guished themselves, the decorations which they have so well merited. " Head-quarters, Port St. Mary, sth September, 1823. " By Order of his Royal Highness, " Major-Grtieral Count GUI LLEMINOT." Colonel Garces has not been sent back to Cadiz, as some journals have reported. This Officer,. and the thousand men taken with him, have been sent to France. On the night of the 4th and sth, a boat, with a flag of truce, brought to our posts General Alava, ith a letter from the King of Spain to his Royal Highness the Duke olAngouleme. The General was not received by the Prince. The Duke of Goiche has been sent to Cadiz, with the tnswcr of Monseigneur to the letter of the King. EXTRACT FROM A PRIVATE LETTER. PORT ST. MARY, SEPTEMBER 5. We are row lodged at the Trocadero. Yesterday our batteries set on fire the commercial magazines of wood at Puntales ; the wind was high, and the whole was soon on fire. A number of reports prevail here about Cadiz. It is said that General Valdes assembled a Council of War, and told them tlat he could not any longer de fend the place. It is a:so stated that General Alava confessed that their best troops were destwyed at the Trocadero. The llestavrarAr publishes the following document, under the head cfPort St. Mary, dated August 26 : Ilis Itz - iyal Highness being informed that vari..us local authorities have misinterpreted his order of the 8 b of Augu,t, has commissioned me to make to you several observa.ions on the subject. At the same time that his Royal highness expresses his desire to put a stop to, all artitrary measures ; he likewise acknowledges tl:e utility of securing the power of the Spanish Autho rities, both municipal and judicial, in order to repress climes, the impunity of which would endanger the public tranquillity, the preservation of which was the object of that order. It neyer was the intention of his Royal Highness to arrest the course of justice in the prosecution of ordinary crimes, respecting which the Magistrates must retain the entire plenitude of their authority. The measures presented in the order of the Bth August, have no other object than to insure the effects of the Prince's word, by which he guaranteed the tran quillity of those who, on the faith of the promise of his Royal Highness, should leave the enemy's ranks. But,, at the same time, indulgence for the past, is an assurance of the rigour with which new crimes will be punished, and consequently the French commanders are not only to suffer the ordinary tribunals to act, whose office it is to punish, with all the severity of the law, those who shall in future be guilty of infractions, disorders, or disobedience, but they shall also act in concert with the local authorities, in all measures which shall concern the preservation of the public peace. • " As for the regulations contained in Article 4, which places the Journals under the inspection of the French Commanders, it must not be supposed that it has any other object than to prevent the insertion in the Papers of articles which may inflame party spirit, and hinder the effect of the measures adopted by his Royal High ness, by ill-timed personalities, whether relative to tl.e military operations, or to the pacification of Spain and the liberty of his Catholic Majesty, the chief object of his Royal Highness's efforts. " The French Commanders must make arrangements with the Spanish authorities, to hinder the insertion of such; and in case the authorities should not pay regard to these observations, it is natural and just, that, acting I for the interest of the operations of the a: my, these Commanders should oppose such insertions. " Please to make known to the civil and military Spa nish authorities who ate in your district, and to the French commandant under your orders, the preceding observations, which can leave no doubt respecting the zeal intentions of his Royal Highness." EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER. Off Barcelona, September 8. The galliot Etoile, commanded by M. Olivier, has captured a vessel, the St. Anthony, from Palamos, laden with provisions and fruits, which it was conveying to Villa Nova. The vessel was sent to Badalona. The same vessel captured the Spanish pink la Vierge de Tosa, laden with charcoal, which had been sent from Naiorca to Mataro. Two Aides• de-Camp, the one belonging to Mina, and t! le other to Rotten, attempted to escape from Barcelona. Unfortunately they were observed flPom the citadel, and arrested at the moment they wee embarking ; they hare been thrown into prison, and it is probable the_ Rotten will not long delay having them shot. This monster immolates new victims every day, and em ploys the most atrocious means to procure money.— The place is almost wholly without fresh meat—a sheep costs an ounce of gold. • FROM THE ETOILE. ANDUJAR, SEPTEMBER 7. The French entered Malaga on the 4th ; Riego em-, barked precipitately, taking Z-tyas with him, whom he caused to be put in the hold of the vessel. PORT ST. MARY, SEPTEMBER 6. The Duke de Guiche has dined with the king of Spain. Another Spanish Deputation has this moment left Cadiz. A fresh division of our vessels, probably from Corunna, has just entered the roads. PARIS, SEPTEMBER 15. As we announced yesterday, his Royal Highness the Duke of Angouleme would not receive General l A ___ava, and he declared that he would not listen to anything until the King was at his head-gnarters, where his Ma-, jesty would be master, to grant a general amnesty. His Royal Highness offered, at the same time, to such of the Cortes who did not wish to remain on the Spanish Con tinent, the protection of his fleet, to transport them where theytnight wish to retire. The Duke de Guiche, who ivad gone to Cadiz on the .sth, at 11 o'clock in the morning, had not returned to head-quarters at 11 oclock at night. FROM OUR PRIVATE CORRESPONDENT. " PARIS, MONDAY EVENQ:G. "It is expected that Cadiz will fall soon ; some bombs having destroyed several great commercial warehouses, which has enraged the merchants, and made them quarrel with the Cortex, who, by obsti nacy, when there remains no hope, bring all the evils of war on Cadiz." A Mail from Lisbon has brought us to•day papers and letters to the sth instant. They announce the arrival of part of the Bahia fleet, and of the Huss/tit frigate, with our Ambassador, Sir EDWARD TnontcroN. The following are extracts:— LISBON, SEPTEMBER 5. Of the fleet from Bahia, which sailed on the 2d July for this port, only three ships of war, and about a dozen other vessels have arrived here. The Captain of a vessel that arrived at Oporto in 52 days from Bahia, I gave the following information in answer to the ques tions put to lint—he had brought no Mail, nor any Journals. The greatest confusion prevailed at Bahia in consequence of the evacuation of the place by the Porttigti2se troops, and the sailing- of the squadron. The Government was unsettled, as the Civil and Mili tarp Government had withdrawn. He had himself sailed on the 2d of July, with all the other vessels that were in the port, full of troops and passengers, the latter, fearing the insults of the Brazilians, were going to diffe rent ports in Europe, Spanish America, and even Brazil. —He sailed two days in sight of the vessel", which left at the same time; did not see on his, voyage any squa dron or ship of war; the Bar of Bahia was blockaded by the squadron of Rio, consisting of seven sail ; Lord Cochrane, its commander, was on board the_Martin de Treitas. The information given by the ships that have arrived is such as makes all classes very anxious for the safety of the remainder of the fleet. Many passengers assert that Lord Cochrane has been very successful in the pur suit ; and that he has plundered several of the richest ships, and even disarmed the soldiers in several of them ; and they add, that be emptied their water-casks to oblige them to put into some port short of Lisbon. It does not appear, from the accounts hitherto given, that there was any action between Lord Cochrane and the Portuguese squadron attending the convoy. There is a report that a large frigate, commanded by a Captain Taylor, formerly in the English service, has approached within a few days' sail of the Tagus, and boarded the Grand Para, a large merchantman, of' this port. On the 30th of August his Britannic Majesty's fri gate the Hussar arrived here, in nine days, from Ply mouth, with his Excellency Sir Edward Thornton, Am bassador from his Britannic Majesty to this Court. His Excellency having the honour to be personally in high esteem with our Sovereign, his arrival cannot fail to prove the means of still more firmly consolidating the friendship subsisting between the two nations. Sir George Nayler is expected shortly, to invest his Majesty with the Order of the Garter ; and the French • Ambassador wia, in a few days, invest his Majesty with the Order of the Holy Ghost—Don Michael will re ceive the same honour. The Ambassador of the Netherlands, Viscount Qua beck, arrived on the 31st on board the Scheldt fligate, from Gibraltar and &in Lucar. Among the vessels from Bahia, the Flor de Tigo, l which arrived on the 31st, had 187 soldiers on board who were disarmed ; and the Captain in person waited on his Majesty to communicate this to him. There are no further accounts from Madeira; but, it is said, there are some rather unpleasant accounts from St. Michael's and Terceira. However ;ice have plenty of troops to spare, if they should be netessary. An expedition to Para and Ma. ranham is talked of, but nothing is yet determined upon. There are unhappily numerous robberies in some pares of the interior. Last week Mr. Whitney,* merchant of this city, aad agent to Lloyd's, being on his way from Vigueira to Lisbon, he was attacked by two banditti, armed with double barrelled guns. A bail from one of them entered his groin, and settled in his back. SETTEMBER 6.—Mr. Whitney died on the 31st ult. The blockade of Cadiz by the French fleet is officially announced, with a strict prohibition against any vessels clearing out from any port in Portugal for that place. THE ARMY. Yesterday morning Sir HENRY TORKENS inspected the 34th Re gitnent at Wonlwich. The Rules and Regulations with respect to Light infantry are now under revision. The improved system will embrace genera4ly the movements and formations of Light Infantry attached to re spective Regiments when in line; and the rapid manoeuvres of Light Infantry Companies forrfied in battalion. GOVERNORSHIP OF PENDENNIS CASTLE. The Governorship of Pendennis Castle has, in consequence of the death of General FLUE DUCICLNY, which *took place on the 14th it. stant, become vacant. General Buertzts served as a Captain in the 2d Troop of horse Guards in 1751. He received the brevet of Major the lath August, 1762; wag appointed Guidon and Major in his Regiment 28:h Sep tember, 170,4; Cornet and - Major, Bth February, 1755; Second Lieutenant and Lieutenant-Colonel. 6th March, 1771 ; First Liet - tenant and Lieutenant-Colonel, 28th July, 17 7 3 ; c„ , „„,,i by Br e v e t, 19th February, 1779; Major-General, eoth November, FM ; Lieutenant-Colonel and Colonel in his Regiment, 18:h November, 1790; Lieutertant.General, .1.1 May, 1796; end attained, on the Ist January, 1801, the rank of General. General Beecher was in the Army upwards of 72 yAri, and died at a very advanced age. THE NORTHUMEERLAND AND NEWCAWI'LE VOLUNTEER CAVALRE.— Monday se'imight, the Northumberland and Neweastle-upon-Tyne Volunteer Cavalry, commanded by Lieut.-Colonel Bit %t NI. P. completed their eight days' military duty in Neweastle.upott-Tyne. hi the forenoon of that day they were drawn up on the Town.moer, and inspected by Lieutenant-Colonel Sir Thomas HaNere, of the Scots Greys. The Regiment performed a variety of ev.,l.itions in such a manner as to challenge the unqualified approbation of a great number of spectators. After the duties of the day were conciteled, Sir Terom.te Haexis addressed the corps en tit.: ground to the ft.l. lowing effect :—1 le said, " Th it, with the Frmisiion m Colonel lituantasm, he would do hip: ;elf the honour of clat - et:sing a few words in them, although the usual why, in caws like the present, was to convey the sentiments of the Inspecting Oilicer through the medium of the Commanding Officer of the Regiment. But after what he had witnessed, he should not be doing justice to his own feeling, if he permitted his thanks to he communicated in the mere ordinary way. lie had inspected many Regiments of the Line, besides various Corps of Yeomanry, and never had he beheld movements executed with greater correctness and precision than they had been that day. —Having been a Cavalry Officer for so many years. he trusted be might be allowed to express an opinion unhesitatingly. As to the language of flattery, he was incapable of using it. Ile did not care who heard him; nay, he would appeal to the otlu r Officers who had witnessed the movements, whether he had used stronger terms than the gratifying occasion warranted? What he had seen that day proved to hint the degree of perfection which men deter mined to do their duty might attain ; and if individuals whose lives are devoted to the military profession would but exert a similar zeal and attention, there was no limiting the degree of military skill and science they might arrive at. In conclusion, he (Sir THOMAS HANEIN) was almost at a loss how adequately to express all his feel ings on the present occasion; he doubted not, however, that when he transmitted his Report to the General of the District (Sir Joust Brno), his sentiments would be better embodied in his dispatches than he could now deliver them." In consequence of the above very flattering notice by the Review ing Officer, Lieut.-Colonel DILANULING caused the following Regi mental Order to be issued : " R. 0. Gasfotth-Houee, 9th September, 1823. " After the unqualified terms of approbation which Colonel Sir THOMAS HANEIN was pleased, perste:tally, to express of the eppeare auce and discipline of the N. N.V. C. on Monday last, it would be presumption in Lieut.-Colonel Beatentdeo to add any opinion of his own. It only remains, therefore, fur hint to return his grateful thanks to the Officers, Non-commissioned Officers, and Privates of I the Regiment under his comma:id, and to bear testimony to their luniform steady and exemplary good conduct in the field and in their quarters."

The hitting was quick, and each were like hungry fellows devouring a meal when i❑ want of it. Strength told fur Page, and his superiority in strength and throwing was evideat. is. A smart rtily,with returning L.N.

Ever. betting. 4. A manly round, in favour of Mayne, who would not be diznied his shim: at the scratch. lie placed a rattling hit on t.is adversary's chest, and he was paid by a blow at sight on the head. After a good rally, Page •a-as thrown, or rather hurried dowry outside the ropes. 5. The baker piped a bit, but he recovered Its fore he went Into action, as it was dangerous for his adversary to begin first. It was the best round in the battle. Mayne was pressed into a corner, but beshifted out with much dexterity, and mule play by placing a hit upon the forehead. Page returned upon -him, and next received a hit with the left hand under the lug, and Page left off pursuit. The round finished after a severe rally, after which both 'ent down. 6. A scrambling round, and Mayne Was thrown a screwing awk ward fall. 7. Mayne ran himself down by an over hit. 8. Page hit his adversary twice on the !wail, and threw him from the rope,. 9 And to. Iloth fought in di , tress, and Mayne worsted by falls. 11. Mayne led most decidedly in this reputtd. planSed three hits upon his adversary's bead with much quickness, in the last of which Page wai dropped upon one kn., and on the busy Mayne following hint to give hint a little one in, be soon got the other grassed, and found at least that his customer was a tiresome chap. 12. Mere strunrling, and both down. Here a voice sung out, " Hislup Sh ape and his pal for a butt tired." Cooper doffed his castor in :he air as a token of defiance to Sharpe. Another voice sung out—" Cooper'can win It, if they fight to-day, as there will he no time for consultation." The ring was disorderly, and a Welsh main seemed to be at band. This was a scrambling round also; hut it was evident to the good judges that Page must win. The Clerkenweller fought with great gaiety; but the smashing falls he received were enough to knock the wind out of him. He was the best in-fighter, and until the twenty-eighth round had a chance, and sometimes his lion heart gave him best ; but in the last half hour he received much punishment, and Page won in fifty-seven minutes, after much labour. ALARMING FIRE AT BRENTFORD.—Sunday evening, about seven o'clrck, the inhabitants of IN: I w Brentford were greatly alarmed by a fire breaking out in the house of Mr. Dwyer, chemist and druggist, opposite the Church, which burnt with unabated Jury for about an hour and a half, by which time, although the engines arrive 2 immediately on the spot, the lioue, stock, and furnitute were entirely destroyed, leaving no.hing the bare walls.
