The Spanish official account of the sortie from Cadiz on the 16th, referred to in as extract of a letter In another of leer columns, gives a very different idea of the affair than I I die ga- rbled and contradictory statements of the French.— general reconnoissance of the French line was made by . . , 'y e ws' parties, who attacked with the utmost bravery, and retired in the beet order, when their object was answered. ▪ •The lesson received by the French on that °Cession, ac• cants for their quiet behaviour before Cadiz since that period. Corunna has not yet been attacked ; and it is now confessed by the French that even the siege of Pampelana cannot be formerly undertaken without an additional force. Nothing is wanting to the Spanish cause, but a little per severance; and nojwithstanding all the contrary reports, we see nothing but a determination' to persevete on the part of the Cortes. The French hare trumped up an idle story of some fighting in the streets of Cadiz. They mast wait for this, until they get there. The New Times has made another attack on the Spanish Bonds, which have reached ; a price far beyond what the New Times thinks them worth, " even if the Royal " Government were to recognize the loan." In this we agree with the writer, we think they would net be worth half as much if the King were restored: and the rise is, no doubt, occasioned by the diminished probability of that event, on account of tbc gallant resistance of Corunna, Cadiz, and other places where the blessing of an absolute King is despised. When it was rumoured that Corunna bad fallen, the Spanish Bonds fell, because it was more probable that the " Royal Government" might plague Spain again ; —and it is certain that a despotism neither could, nor would attempt to keep any faith with the bonJ holders! while it is equally certain that with an economi cal Republican Government, there would be no difficulty whatever in making geed all demands upon the State. The treasuryof Spain is poor enough ; but the resources of the nation are but little impaired beyond what a f••w years of tranquillity, under a good system, would restore. Our treasury, on the coittrary,is rich enough—hut the national resources are only to be traced in their anticipation in the Bank books. The " Irish Insurrection Act" which renders a man liable to be transported for being out of his own house after sunset, is, of course, a great favorite pith the New Times; and the Editor of that respectahle print is quite angry that it should be found any fault with. There bars been recently some thirty trials, and only fire con victions under it ; a proof that it is employed in the most wanton and barbarous manner against the peace of indi' vidnals ; And converted into an endless means of irritating the feelings of the peasantry. The remark that it was so mischievous, has offended our renegade ; and lie quotes the Killteasy Moderator to prove, not the benefit of the Insurrection Act, but that there:are in Ireland men as basely sycophantic to authority as hi mit If. The Kilkeany Modera tor talksofthe"sanguinary violence of the rural population," being as suppressed by the Insurrection Act. What a vile sarcasm upon the English liovern.nent of Ireland is this! If the rural population of Ireland is sangoillarY, what hat made it so? Is it the coaseqmeace of English misrule; and is arbitrary power the necessary remedy for the evils of op pression? If the Irked, of the English Government a•lnsis this, we may venture to remark that its enemies can libel it no longer. And we may further add, that if Ireland cannot sow be maintained in subjection, without an Insurrection Act, that it will not much longer be restrained by that means; and we do not see with what jtrAice Ireland can be subjected to the most galling tyranny, merely to furnish patronage to a Minister; fazes to a Government, from which it derives nothing but injury; or tythes to a church, without bang benefitted by the creed it teaches. We have received an intimation that we were wrong in oar strictures the other day, on the conduct of the Magic trate in ordering an attorney out of Court. Our position was,not that an attorney had any peculiar right to be there, bat that a magistrate had no right to lure any one out of an oiled wort If an attorney attempted to interfere with• outright, it is the magistrate's business not to say " turn that fellow out ;"—but to desire him to conduct himself as mother spectator. No magistrate has a right to close the deers of as open court. If any circumstances arise that require private examination, it is the duty of the magis trate to retire into a private room ; and not to turn the pub lic out of the public Court. We are somewhat sceptical, as to the necessity of any private examinations. We ne ver bear of the Chancellor's private room, without dislike, bat we prefer it to his clearing the Court of Chancery. The Duke of Wellington transacted business on Tues day at the Ordnance Office, in Pall-mall, preparatq t ry to his departure for the Continent, on his tour of inspection. Letters received by the regular mail from Paris, dated et Saturday evening, state that Corona", on the 10th inst., remained in the possession of the Constitutionalists and that there was no immediate prospect of its surrendering. '4e Coutitetionnel says, tLat Tarragona has been sup plied with arms, provisions, and money, by an English brig. Cams, JULY 11.—A Royal decree was published on the 11th inst. declaring by name the Members of the Regency, their secretaries, the persons constituting the provisional Junta of Oovernosent,ind theirs, as well as those who have succeeded or shall succeed them, unworthy of the name of Spaniards, and traitors in the highest degree to their coun try and King, and that as such they shall be bold and treated. Advice' have been received in town, announcing that 'applies of provisions bad been received at St. Sebastian's, by which unease the garrison is supplied till the end of Octo ber, that is to say, till the winter is over. for it isimpossible for the French to blockade that part of the guest in the at !nuking season.

Among the rumunrs it is stated, that on the 3ii, General Alan was removed from his command, tried, and condemned. The Duke del Infantado, the President of the Rayalist Junta, and Saes, who assemes the title of Minister for Foreign Affairs, were about to leave Madrid and repair to the French Head (barter , . Extract of a letter from Cadiz. doted July 19:— " Since my lest, something new hes occurred, which i con ceived it my duty to transmit to you per duplicate. Seth. in deed, has been the gamesl attack we made on the ilith instant, against the French, from the whole extent of our line, commencing at Rapti Petri, and extending as far as Port Royal. and El Trocadero, consequently from a distance, em bracing a front equal to 19 or 14 miles. Our troops advanced from the respective point. within that distance to the number of 4,46 0 Mee, of all arms, firmly resolved to go in search of the enemy. being tired and impatient in waiting for them so long • time, till they kept their promise in making the attack they had long beamingly announced. They were in fact de termined to go and find out the inactive Bourbon soldiers within their owe parapets and entrenchments, and this they effected in the boldest and most effective manner, by Arst dislodg ing them and then driving them before Mem at the point of the hayonet.—Afler effecting the general reconnolssaneel which they had in view, they all retired in good order at the same time. At this moment the enemy, by availing him self of his cavalry, sought to charge them; hut they were re pulsed with an enormous loss, occasioned by the Are of oar batteries and gun boats, which covered our movement. Our loss was ft killed and 87 wounded. The loss of the French was very great, they themselves confess es many as five hun dred killed and wounded, and they must have lost many horses, oar batteries and gin-boats being well served with grape shot." A correspondent informs us that the French blockade of the Spanish ports, miserable es It now is, cannot be maintained at all, after the beginning of October, on account of the winds.— Taking this to be the case, the Cortes have only to hold out two months longer, to be oat of all peril for the whole of the winter; and long before the French can undertake another blockade, their army will be in too desperate a condition to avail itself of any marine movements In its favour. It must be a great consolation to the French Ultras, who idolize Prince Hilt, to find that he bears his campaigning better than he did in 1815. We have not. since be entered' Spain, heard a single complaint of the galling sufferings he then endured. He ha., it is true, been a good boy, " and took care of himself." A gentleman from Cadis corroborates our statement, that Ferdinand was always at liberty to take airings in the city, but that he malevolently refused to leave his house, that he might be deemed a prisoner. CORFU, JULY 16.—Sir Graham Moore, the Naval COM mander4n-Chief of the Mediterranean, arrived here in the Rochefort of 80 gone, on the 11th, and sailed again on the 13th, taking with him the Buryalos, Redpole ' and Chanti cleer. He is said to have gone to Patras for the purpose of demanding an explanation from the Capitan Pubs ; and same go so far as to add, that the Admiral has received in structions to drive the Turkish fleet out of the lonian sea altogrher. Be this as it may, nothing can exceed the state of alarm into which its presence has thrown all the inhabit ants, The islands may, in fact, be said to be in a state of partial blockade, for ever since the massacre of the poor Greeks not a vessel dare sail. Previous to Sir O. Moore'i . sailing, lie issued an order jest received from the Admiral ty, enjoining the most rigorous attention to the blockade of the Greeks. This measure is highly creditable to Mr. Canning. It bas been determined on, by the heads of the Orange Lodges in Ireland, to build a splendid hall for the meetings of the Association. ltscosts will be limited to 40,0001. and the work will be forthwith undertaken. The Royal George, the Sovereign, the Regent, the two Gun Brigs, and all the Noblemen and Gentlemen's Yachts, which were moored or cruising in the neighbourhood of the Isle of Wight and Portsmouth, have at length dis persed, and all hope of a Royal Sea Voyage for the present year is at at an end. Had the expense which has attended the equipment of this fleet been given to the Patriots of Spain, it would have ONO far to enable them to extirpate the invading Bourbons, and their prostituted satellites. In the city of New - Orleans, on the 96th of last June, a letter was received by Mr. Ramos, stating that a company of Comedians In the city of Madrid Were coming to him ; that on accolint of the internal commotion and wars io their country, they were compelled to migrate to a land where they could pursue their vocation for a livebood ; and that they had chosen to come to that city, In order to prepare for their reception, Mr. Ramos has located 'a site for the Theatre la the Fauxbourg Matigny.—(Lesirfana side.) • _ _ THEATRICALS. The novelt last nixht at the Haymarket, was the .pet formance of t he pars Of Maria Dairlington by Miss PATON, who introduced a bravura, which commanded the most unanimous encore we have ever witnessed. In the perform ance of the part, it if no discredit to Miss PAToM to admit she was something lesiveffective than Madame VgBTRIS, or Miss Fool.' ; but she is rapidly improving as an actress, and her exquisite powers of voice make ample compensation for what is yet wanting. Signor Denali, it appears, has finally concluded the ar rangements for the Opera House with Mr. Ebert, and this week enters into the possession of that establishment. He sets off immediately for Naples and other places, to make engagements for the season. The Noblemen who coned• tute the Committee for conducting the King's Theatre next season, are, it is understood, the Marquis of Hertford, Lord Lowther, Lord Aylesford, Lord biountedgecumbe, and Count St. Antonio. The interior of the Opera House is to be entirely renovated. THE WEATHER. "Heigh ho, the wind and the rain." The Government Scribes have acquired so inveterate a habit of lauding every thing that is, that even the seasons it would seem, must be treated like the last quarter's re venue, and represented as most,flottrishing and productive. The JVew Time* has actually taken a Ministerial view of the weather ; it looks at the sunny side of our sunless sum mer. and paints the skies couleur de rose,at mild and shining as his Majesty's Administration. It may indeed be Said of this writer, that he touches nothing that he does not adorn ; whether the subject is the state of the nation or the state of the weather, it eq3ally glows beneath his hands—the one is always prosperous, the other always 6ne; Government ever mild, and the Sun ever genial ; none but the base and discontented demagogue interested to delude, will arraign the wisdom of our riders, or say that " the rain it rainetb every day." Horace's Madman sat in the empty theatre, and saw most excellent tragedies ; our Contempo rary sits in his office in Fleet Street, and sees sunny days. That some gentle refreshing showers have fallen, he cannot deny, but they were " unpleasant not destruc tive," and it should be remembered, quota he, " that though the summer is backward, the spring was also un usually tardy—that there have been no stars to destroy the grasses or the corns—that the rain, though it has been frequent, has seldom fell in torrents; and that there has not been any extraordinary change or severity in the tempera ture of the atmosphere. The flavour, quantity, and price of the fruit, which has been brought to the metropolis chew, that whatever weather its inhabitants may have experienced, their neighbours have been tolerably for tunate." Here is first, the deuce to pay with the seasons—here summer is made to recriminate on spring ; the pot calling the kettle • •• •. The spring was backward too, but lupkily though 'melte ard It did come—better late than never—while summer has no time to lose—its days are few. Then, "there have been no storTs"—dear heart, what would the New Times have? It has been " blowing- great guns" from the gentle south for the last two months; our oldest sailors never remember such gales. And " the rain, though frequent, has seldom fell in torrents." If ever the proverb held true that " it never rains hot it pours." it has been this delicious summer. Navies might have rode in our kennels, several dandies have been soept away by the torrents from the spouts, and an officer in the lirenadier Life Guards was lately knocked down and wetted to the skin, so that his life is despair- al of, by a single drop of rain! Then, again, "no extraordinary severity in the temperature of the atmosphere." Has the man no feeling? Is he a Laplander or an Esquitnaux ? All we shall say is, that if the duty on coals be not taken off next- summer, we will not answer for the consinences. Nankeens and Russia duck are drugs ; and the ladles have this summer been ob served to be clothed when dressed, a thing nee. r before seen since the days °km grandmothers. The writer talks of— " the flavour, quantity, and price of the fruit." If the fruit will grow in toe shade, it is very much to he commended for so conforming to circumstances ; and for the price it may well be low, for what man will risk his life by putting snow-balls into his month, cold, crude fruit into his chilled stomach? We have•eat a hot pie or two, no more. He in sists on the flavour of the fruits ; now it is notorious, as the Frenchman said, that nothing. has been sweet this year, ex• cept the vinegar. But perhaps, like the Scotch Laird, he likes them tour. The people in the north, it seems, tell nothing but lies p;wout the weather; it is as hot as an oven in Scutland,wntle they pretend it is as cold as a church. 16 In the north, the fears have been mostlMully expressed, and continued with the greatest determination ; even at the present moment, in Perthshire, and other parts of Scotland, they talk of the season being like winter, bat, unluckily for their veracity, tell us in the same breath, that the fields Pre well nigh ready for the reaper, &c." We are then told to weep over the beans, and rejoice at the . prosperity of their little brothers, the peal—Chat bar. ley is thin, and oats pinched with cold. So much for the' ' north. In England nothing is wanting hut—a f'w flays of real warmth. The Midland Counties confine theroseirea to the same moderate desire. _ We rejoice to hear that Somerset, Wilts, Devon, Dorset, and Cornwall, are about to loge their notoriety for being rainy counties, though we grieve that it will be attributed to all the other Counties baying acquired a soaking name. _ _ We are then told to expect great things from the Moon, and when the Sun fails us it is certainly a co mfort to have a Moon to trust to for consolation. And lastly, the writer supports his Tory view of the state of the weather by some ofkcial dornmen s. They write ft om Magma that they have had a dry day. At Stockport no such thing bad occurred, but mention is made of torrents of rgin. At Margate, the whers and citizens " come down re markably fine." They had a hot Tuesday at Canterbury, date unknown. The apple trees fall short in Sussex, but the apples fall far and wide, tired no doubt of dangling and swinging about in the cold wet wind, and soured by misfortune. The Nee Times might further hare added, that um brellas have this summer had an unprecedented sale, the numbermade and sold having exceeded that of every pre vious year by one million four hundred and fifty nine thousand three hundred and one; while we have at the same time to lament a falling off in parasols, which, how ever, it must be remembered, are smaller than parapluies, anti the one is an article of necessity, while the other is one of luxury. The sale of stamps for quack medicines is infinitely in creased, particularly on Pectoral Lozenges, and Essence of Mustard for Chilblains, which were very general in the dog-days. No young ladies have suffered, we rejoice to say, this summer, from the indiscretion of eating ice when violently heated ibut more persons than usual bare been burnt from sitting with their knees over the fire. Coals 1111 , 0 had a lively sale ; and warm hearths and light works have beguiled the tedium of our long wintry days.--Christmas tales are all in a state of great forward ness, and horrid murders will come out earlier this than any preceding year. Not a single dog took occasion to go mad during the dog days, and the number of ladies who fainted at the Theatres fell somewhat short of the winter average. Knee buckles and corderoys have been sent to the High lands, and thousand five hundred and three persons have been committed to Bridewell for sleeping on brick kilns and breaking into bakers' ovens.

At the Anniversary of the landing of the King at Leith, on the 15th, Sir P. Adam said, as a sailor, he was glad the King had landed at a tea -port town. Where else should he land ? L'lloatte-avrtctix.—The people of Paris have been amused for some weeks past with a London invention by no means new or striking in the place of its birth. A man walks the Paris Royal and the most frequented streets in the neighbourhood, with one large placard covering the whole of his back, and another extending along the front part of his body down to his knees. It contains the an nouncement of a new coach between London and Paris. On his hack he bears the French, and on his breast the English. The French have given this non-descript animal—this walking placard—the title of 1 • !fusion Oche or biped advertisement. Sr. JAMES'S Pawn..—The Excavators having failed in their attempt io opening a sewer from the Thames to carry off the water in the Canal. the Board of Works directed as open sewer to be cut across the Parade to Whitehall-stairs, to effect the original intention of clearing the Canal. This work commenced a few days ago, and already the o:d sewer has been opened as far as the mortar, and from thence across to the iron grate er flood gate ; all the old wooden trunks are taken up, they were fou id very defective, and some parts were completely choked up: the men were in structed to cut a new sewer in a semicircular form from the end of the Canal, so as to cut off the angle which extended before up to the mortar. The work is proceeding very ra• pidly. Deal and planks are already brought into the Park to be used in clearing the Canal, which is filled up with mud to the banks. When it is cleared, brickwork is to be erected all round the banks,like the basin in the Green Park, by which means, and the current expected to be kept op between it and the Thames, are sufficient to make its water as clear and fresh as the Basin. Some say that an iron bridge for the accommodation of Westminster is to be thrown across the Canal when the other repairs are com pleted. NEW DISCOVEtT IN CIFIYMISTRY:—A Prussian ebymiet (a Mr. Salverte), in making experiments to improve printers' ink, has discovered a process of producing from hempseed oil a new species of black pigment, which, for brilliancy and inten sity of colour, far exceeds any black known heretofore, and promises to render Prussian black as distinguished a colour as Prussian blue is at present. The inventor has, we under stand, not only applied it to improve printers' ink, but also to other useful purposes, particularly as a superior and safe black ing for tanned leather. WRITS SAVAGES.—Tbe Milledgeville (United States) Papers, inform us, that a few Indians haying encamped, two or three nights ago, In a neighbouring county, for the purpose of supplying themselves with venison, a party of white men. went to their camp (the Indians being absent on a hunting excursion), and took their blankets, clothes, saddles, bridles, provisions, and skins, and made a bonfire of the whole ! The Indians were entirely peaceable, had done no mischief, and were famished with recommenda tions from M'lntosh and Burnett,soliciting for them friend ly treatment; but it was the misfortune of these children of the forest to meet with savages worse than Indiana. On Friday the Bth inst. as John Bantinfilsod Robert Little field. servants to Thomas Butler, Esq., Berry Lodge, Hata bledon, Hampshire, were removing same dung, they dis covered a snake's nest, containing 113 eggs; they were all opened, and 96 young ones taken out alive. The apple trees, in many situations, we are sorry to bear fall very short of their usual produce; and from the treesJa 30 acres oforchard ground, nigh to Lord Erskine's Mat at Hoimbush, we are told, that not more than as many bikinis of fruit will be gathered.—(Sasse Advertiser.) On Wednesday se'nnlght, a Morella Cherry, weighin; near ly half an ounce, and measuring four inches in circumference, was gathered from a tree belonging to the Rev. DC Ridley, at Fobray, Hertingfordbury, Herts. PROSPECT OF A UTERI WINTIR.—A took 01* fieldfares were seen at Lamplugh, Cumberland, on Wedne clay week. The arrival of these birds, it is well known, port, ids a hard and cold winter. This visit is considerably earli.r than can be remembered by the oldest person : it is a very uncommon thing to hear the chirping of the fieldfares and tie twittering of the swallow at One same three. Camberwell Fair was concluded last night, *lnd the whole camp of exhibitors moved off for the village of Peck• ham, where the fair will this day be holden. On Saturday last, the Petty Sessions were held at the Town Hall, Itomsey, before a full bench of Magistrates, the Rt. Hon. Sturges Bourne in the chair. Several cases of bastardy were disposed of, and one woman of the name of Shackle, first swore she was ignorant who the father of the child was, and afterwards offering to swear it, was CO4. milted to the house of correction for 12 mantas.
