A Spanish courier d'estefilte verbally brings the news, that the King is free in Cadiz, that the Cortes are dissolved, that the revolutionary troopS are all concentrated in the Isle of Leon, that at Cadiz they have closed the gates on the side of the Isle of Leon, and that they only wait the arrival of the Duke WAlN•Ottlelde, to open those on tile sea-side, and thus finish the %%Aran - Spain. [From the Journal del Debats.l MADRID, AUG. 9.—The courier front Cadiz, arrived yester day, has brought intelligence that great hopes are entettained of the speedy conclusion of the business at Cadiz. Prom What has transpired during the day, it appears that on the 3d the King .1 / 4 1:Med one of the.churehes, and that the acclatnationS of the people and the .troops were most striking. It is, added, that two of the regiments in garrison declared for the King ; that In order to check them, it was necessary to call in' the other regiments, to which the Madrid militia were mote especially joined ; that Riego, who possesses influence over the minds of the troops in the Isle of Leon, repaired thither, hi order to keep them together ; finally,. that there prevails in the town anti in die island a great agitation, from Whielt a hippy result is expected. it Is besides said, that in an extraordinary sitting, held on the Ist, the Cortes deeieed that the King should be act at liberty; that in the next sitting they, however, made his li heention the, subject of conditions, which are not yet known. At the moment when the courier left the head-quarters on the 7th, it was asserted that the Cortes, despairing of their situ. ation, had abandoned Cadiz,, leaving the King there by him-. Welt: This news needs confirmation ; but as the telegraphic dispatch from Bayonne gives intelligence from Madrid of the 10th, It follows, thaton the 10th this news was still believed at Madrid. CAMP EEPOltil Cont NNA, .1"u I.l* 27.-A Prench frigate has arrived, and has already begun' firing on the town. We see her flag from here. We bring our battering artillery from Ferrol, wore we found 1,000 pieces of cannon. If the town doss net surrender toemorrow, General liourck will begin to host hard it. Our soldiers demand to be led to the assault, be e ing indignant et the horrible spectacle offered to their view by the Constitutionalists. Sixty individuals of different ranks have been, thrown into. the sea, tied hand and foot, by the Re volutionists of this town ; we see the floating bodies—two have been thrown ashore. By their clothes they are 'Mown to have beets a Lieutenant-Colonel and an Ecclesiastic. • • , An officer and 65 soldiers of the garrison have joined us, Oa • the cries of " Vive le Roi I Death to the 'Constitation 11.ennirs, AUG. Spanish courier, this itietantarrived, 'announces, that, at the moment of hits departure from Cadiz, the King lied the Royal Pamily were traversing the Streets of 'Cadiz amidst an intinense crowd, tilling the air 'With cries Of joy. It was hoped that the next courier would confirm .this great and good news, which had spread all over Madrid in a *no Of electrical manner. Every where the inhabitants .ern - brace, one another, tears of joy flow from their eyes, and 'no thing is heard but Pivots, It eppeais that for some days the Cortes, yielding to a secret terror, have relaxed a little the rigour of ineatates which that rebel assembly hail adopted against our unfeetunate Mo. Harsh. .. • On the 2d instant their Majestiek had permission to visit the eh arch of St. Francis, and, whet is still more astonishing, to take an airing in a carriage_ out of the land-gate. A detach merit of cavalry escorted them., Their residence is still at the Customhouse; it is not true that they have been rentoved to tit Hose) ital. . . The Custom-house having windows looking to the sea, the • French seemen (by the aid of their telescopes). have had the pleasure of geeing th , 2 Monarch several times, who, waving his handkerchief- slimed the fleet ca . Louis XVIII., his august defender, and soon his liberator. • .The Regency has received from Burtillos, in the A st u rias, an account - of a commotion which took place on the loth at Luarca. In that qt.:newt, lei in Many others, it had been thought sufficient .merely ea disband - the National .Guard, and the.men who had 'composed it had returned to 'their homes. 'raking • ‘atitiameigeeltowever, of the absence of any e military force cap. able sir" k. '• them in check, they. - suddenly assembled and proeeedea to the square to replace the constitutional stone. .:hay began by throwing the Kin'S bust into the sea. On the best, account of this aggreeelon, the Governor called together the Royalist inhabitants, who limn everywhere theureat 'neje, •eity. They - fiercely attacked the -infamous revolutionista, and arrested their principal ringleaders. - The others are sought after, and will not escape the chastisement they deseive. 111ATAito, Auo. ti ---We have reason to believe. that a part of the troops conunanded by Mapso will follow, his ex. The Constitutionalists, fatigued whit being alWaye beaten, have made no sortie for several days, and leave.our troops in 'perfect tranquillity. The state of health is extremely satisfactory there are few sich, and noose seriously ill. [lgor'; the Quotidienne.] The Cartes suspended their sittings on the 4th. After die fermentation which prevailed on that day in Cadiz, a speedy crisis was expected ; the Royalists loudly expressed their hopes, and the Infante Don Carloe was already pointed out.for going to meet the Duke of Angouleme. P.S. We-approach the termination; all the news received from Cediz confirms this. Royalism commands In the town. — The revolutionists have withdrawn into the Isle of Leon, the lest refuge of the Constitutionalists end there they are trying to retard for SOMC MOrnents the event which must deliver Spam. • I.Proet the Courier Franeabt.l Penis, AUGUST 15.---A carding to the Moniteur, the Cortes are embarked ; according to the Etoile they are dis. solved : the troops , . of which the .itionh`eur says nothing, are concentrated, 'according to the Rolle, in the Isle of Leon. jt further reeults front these various reports, that Cadiz is etill Mutt, that tile King has walked in the streets of Cadiz, but that this promenade, which is represented in the first letter in the Etta , as a deliverance effected by the people, appears, accord ing to the second letter, to have taken place by permission of . . the Cortes. The news given list night by he Etaile 4 Only proper therefore to throw some little more obscurity over the news given yesterday morning by the'llioniteur. The Itlonitsur of yesterday completely inverted the usual distributions of its columns: .11ithertdits official pttrt has been appropriatetrto intelligence find authentic doeuments, whilkt in its non-officialpart wereplaced news very doubtful, oritnimpert ant reports, on dits, &c. &c. Yesterday a was quite the reverse, the official part contained nothing but oh nits, transmitted by telegraphic dispatch, whilst its unofficial part contained it and o ff icial documentii, such as the capitals tion of Ballasteros, promotions, &c. In such a State of things, we are reduced to wait the confirmation of on dits offi cially published. One' ay be astonished, however, at this un usual proceeding, which throws the public into a state of the most perplexing uncertainty as to an event of the highest portance. It would seem that on'account even of its import ance it should not have, been announced till the authority had been obtained that the reports circulated. at Madrid were cor rect, and that the rejoicings witnessed by the courier on his de parture from that capital were not relative to the submission of Ballasteroi rather than the surrender of Cadit. The Comman dant of Bayonne has proved his zeal in transmitting by .the telegraph the reports circulating at l'iladrid, but it appears to be nothing hut a puerile eagerness to publish them in the Afoul term before they are confirmed. This confirmation did not arrive at the tinteof the bureaux being open, because nothing was poSted up. It is said that a salvo of artillery will announce to the inhabitants of Paris the moment when the Government Shall have acquired the certainty of the authenticity Of thein telligence relative to Cadiz and the King of Spain. EXTRACT OI! A PRIVATE LErrEn.l " VIENNA, Au G. 2.—The Porte seems to remain &Milli to its system of temporizing. It has no thought of granting the demands of Russia; but on the other hand it is careful to avoid a sudden termination of the negotiations. " Commercial letters hay that it was propoied at the Divan, that no arrangement should be entered into with Russia till the fortresses of Asia were evacuated. No resolution was adopted on this proposition, but it is probable that the restitu tion of the fortresses will be demanded as a sine qua non. " The Divan is said also at present to mistrust all the Euro pean Ambassadors, and particularly. bird Strangford, who has not yet been able to obtain any positive declaration as to the Ruisian vessels detained. Some new reclamation% hive lately been made by this Ambassador, in consequence of an English vessel having been sequestered." CASTRO DE URDIALLES, JULY 28.—A whole company of the Regiment of Seville, with its Captain, Lieutenant, and Sub- Lieutenant, have .deserted, with arms and baggage, from the forts of Santona.. They were received by the French troops with cries'of I'lee k Rai! These brave grenadiers deniando2d to be employed in the blockade. In consequence they occupy, with the third company of the 17th line, one of the points winch surround the place. . TAN IRO ov CAr..ar...-A Report from Baron d'Eroles to Marshal 111Oncey, dated Calaf, July 24, details the particulars Of the attack on thitt place, and the expulsion of the Constitu tionalists. The action Was most sanguinary. The whole of the right column of the-Constitutionalists is said to have been cut to pieces. More than 200 prisoners were taken, among whom were 23 officers. Pro xpr Au u. 6. —The blockade of Seo continues im perfect, althout;111 a battalion has beefs sent as a 'reinforcement. The garrison et this fortress is mistress of the country, and does much mischief to our troops, but more particularly to our allies, the troops of the Faith. ~ The hospitals of Puycerdit and Mont Louis contain each more than fifty Wounded. Unless thegarriSons of the fortress which it is ivished to invest', open their gates, the object of the system adopted is unaccountable. The small corps at •Figuera§, flostalnch, Seo d'Urgel, and Barcelona, cannot lead to any effective result. The garrisons have constant communications without the fortresses, and our troops; during August and SepteMber, must sufnt greatly from the great heat of the climate. PORTUGAL. LISItOiI, Ju IN 20.—The exaggerated zeal which 'amine per; sons have desired to show in the cause of royalty in some parts of the northern provinces, and especially in Aloncorvo, Alijo, Dona Chuma, Ile. loses a great part of its merit, since from this excess have arisen various disorderly irregularities, which, disturbing the people in their tranquillity, may draw them into the contrary evil, to the tyranny Under which they groaned— namely, anarchy, the consequences of which are always fa tal. It is not difficult to perceive, that by such inconsiderate conduct not only rigorous measures may be used against the authors of the disorders, but, what would be a mach greater evil, foreign assistance called into our country to appease do.. mestic discord ; ainca the alliance of the monarchs of Europe is resolved with just reason and wise policy not to allo* in the stabs of Europe any germ of public disturbances, and to reico.e them all to obedience to their legitimate governments, that all nations may tranquilly enjoy their just rights 'and fulfil the duties of social order. And when we have had the sublime glory to destroy, ivithout foreign aid; a faction hostile to the throne and the altar, which wat united with, and made a part of the general faction which has plunged Spain in ruin, Shall we _give reason to the Allied Sovereigns to pretend that tram quillity cannot be completely restored to our kingdom without the aid of their troops ? What honourable Portuguese, wheh he remembers this, will not blush at seeking, by illegal means, to excite disturbances, however good may be the ends to which he thinks to direct them ? These authors Of disorders, in some few districts; who have sought to arregate to thcfnisdves an au thority which they do not possess, Mould remember that the penalty of the la* will fall upon them. The Government of his Majesty is ready to listen to mind to remedy juSt 'e omplaints. The parish priests and good, men must therefore command re currence to the. Government; and, above all; just obedience to the Authorities, 'since all should concur for the general tran quillity, Ooon..rii, Jut.Y 18.—Manyincorrigiblt individuals abuse the mildness of the present King lout sovereign. Some hy con tinuing in cid associations—others Vy speaking imprudently, and making themselves very reprehensible in public opinion, and by their making it necessary to accelerate measures of 'ire caution. With these the . people should be satialled,.since o iers of the same kind are going to be put in force in the Provinces ; and the People ought, therefore, to await the malt of them, and not run into excesses, which never were laudable or allowed them. These are-committed to the authorities . constituted by the orders of the King, and their execution belongs to them alone; We recommend to all in general, peace ana harmony; greadyconfiding in what we say, which is only directed to their tranquillity. The persons removed froth this citY, up to this day, by the department'of justice, arc the following t- , --(Then follows a list Of II personsi viz. three bachelors in medicine, one land-owner, one printer, and six -merchants.) . .Altsigned an engagement not to controvert in any manner the legitimacy of the GoVernment of the King our sovereign s nor to form or frequent any Secret sdciety . ; to regtmhtte their fu tore conduct in such a manner as not to give the slightest ground for suspicion ; to repair to the places `of abode assigned then, and to remain there till his Majesty shall determine as he sees good. LISBON', .7 uMC 25.—ilia Majesty has re-instated General Stockier in the past of Captain-General and Govern& of the Azores, and appointed General D. Manod de Portugal Govet nor of Madeira. . . Jut.tr 27.—11 is Majesty has been leased to replace the ri Council of State time footing en which it was before the iaw of the 25th of September 1821. Juts' 211.—The Constantin brigantine has just arrived, which sailed from Lisbon on the 13drof June for Madeira, St. Mi.- guel, Terceira, and Faye', with the news of the happy restore tion of the monarchy, which was received In all those islands with transports of joy. The Count Rio Mayor, and another gentleman, have mi.. barked on board the Voider corvette of war to proceed to the llrazibi,lor the purpose of endeavouring to make a satisfactoiy arrangement with that country. ATONtIM'ENT Tv BIJOkAPARTE.—The ship Two Calhcrines, recently arrived at Newport, 110 days from Calcutta and 41 from St. Helena, re ports that the monument intended to be *erected ove'r the remains of Napoleon, arrived at St. He lena Ist of May, but the inscription was not known.--(Ara ericun Paper.) On Saturday the younger apprentice (aged only 15 years) of Mr. Hoskins, an iron-plate worker, residiug in the Old Bailey, opposite to Newgate hanged himself in the workshop. At one o'clock he was called to dinner, ate heartily, and then returned to the workshop. A few minutes after his master called to him, but re ceiving no 'answer, proceeded to the workshop, where, to his great surprize and terror, he saw him suspended by the neck close to the forge. He called N)r assistance, and the youth was cut down, being to all appearance lifeless, and black in the face. A surgeon was procured, who bled him in both arms, and at a quarter past two, re the boy began to breathe, and animation was stored. Th E ARMY. Ifn7PA.--it appears that drders have been, or are about to be, sent out to reduce two regiments of Infantry at Madras, and also part of the forces at Bombay; whilst in Bengal two addi tional regiments of infantry are to be raised. The itrogularforces in that Presidency are also to be reduced. The effect of this measure will, we understand, check the promotion for many years in the two former Presidencies ; but ih the , latter, it will be increased to a considerable ex tent. The conspicuous service dfthe troops of the Presidencies of Madras and Bombay, during the last war, hhould not have been forgotten on this octtasion . , and whatever military arrange ments ate necessary in India, a due regard should at least have been shewn to the interests of all the troops in the Company's service, withost any preference whatever !--(Morning Post.)

The father of. the un happy convict, a very aged man, feeling the natural anxiety 'of a parent on' an occasion so heart-rending, determined to strain every effort .to save the life of his unfortunate son. As soon 'as he was apprised of • the Leaned Judge's intention to leave the offender for execution, he determined to follow him to London, end lieseceb merciful consideration of the case. Provided with a petition, numerously and respeztably s i g ned b y the inhabit rants of Slieernus, where he resided, and was well known to heart industrious man of good character, lie proceeded to town, end reached Mr. Sergeant Onslow's house in Spring-gardens on Wednesday afternoon ; but, to his utter dismay and agonizing disappointment, lie found that the Learned St.r geant bad left London upon ti journey to the Continent.— Instead of proceeding at once to the office of the Secretary of State, the unhappy man hurried back to Maidstone, in despair of rescuing his wretched son from the ignominous fate which eivaired him next morning.

He hail, how ever, to lead his prisoner through three 'parts 'Of the market before an officer could be found to take him into cilstotlY, and was exposed, to the utmost danger from the fertSciouk brotherhood of drovers, who were ready to resale the 'defendant, and Would no doubt, have cracked his (Mr. Martin's) shill, had they, been Stipulated to an attack by the defendant, who certainly deseived to be Con sidered, for not hiving taken advantage of their di s p osition. Mr. Martin then said, he had heard the defendant was a drover of good character, but Whatever might be the claim to a fair report in other respects, the cruelty exhibited agains t th e shee p was atrocious% the highest degree. Several Gentlemen who reside in the market here declared, that the defendant's general conduct to cattle was inhuman ; that whenever he was expos tulated with for leveriry, he cursed and swore at those who re proached hial; and flogg4 the animals he 19113 driving in a worse - manner, Alderman Coit said he ShOuld certainly fine the defendant to the utmost eitelit. , Mr. Martin . begged that,: as the defendant had not accepted the offer of the 'other drovers; and consented to be rescued, the fine of twenty shillings might be reduced to ten. The instal - ices of inhumanity against the defendant were how ever lo numerous, that the. Alderman said he could not con.' scienausly . redtice the penalty. Here the inhabliants generally Camplained of the condtict of the drOvers 15Sinitliiield Market, and deelared,• one and all, that there was no safety in ,ytssing while those ruffians had charge of eattie. Their cruelty to animals was only to be equalled by their gross abuse and carelessness about the lives of his Majesty's Subjects. It was to be regretted that there was no controal exercised over such fellows, and that the offi cers who should be in attendinee at the market *ere not at all attentive to their dtity, - as the utmost latitude was 'upon all oc casions given to the drovers, and of course Mr. Martin's Bill Was so far rendered inoperative. Mr. Brown, the Chief Marshal, stated, that he had given directions to the day patrol, stationed regularly in the market, to be ready on every occasion to act with the greatest prompt ness; and he was surprised to hear of the complaint against thew . . The inhabitants Raw, the excuse of the officers was, that they were not numerous enough to act; but on most occasions, where the presence of officers was necessary, not one was to be found, Anil in the present case, particularly, the absence of the offieers was observable. Aldermah 'Cox said, that under these circumstance he should renitire the assistance of his brother Magistrate ; 'and tug. waited that the inhabitants should speedily memorial the Court of,Aldermen on the subject. The officers declared that theY arc constantly in the market, but they confesSed they had not seen the case of Mr. Martin, great as was the ii.o‘va collected on the occasion. Alderman Cot believed that the officers were principally to blame, and ,ekpressed his determination to do all in his power to render the market a place in which a man might appear Without dabger,of his life. Mr. Martin then said, that as the defendant had not con:. tented to be rescued . , and as the drovers of the market might hive cracked his (Mr. 51artinis) skull, had the defendant urged thehi to violence, he should pay half the penalty. Be then paid 10s. and the defendant 10s. snore.

EXPREISS FROM PARIS. We have received by Express the Pilote of yesterday, and the Etoik of Saturday.—No con., firmation had arrived in Paris of the alleged liberation of the King of SPAIN, nor of the dis: soldtion and flight of the Cortes. The allega tions df the Bayonne Telegraphic Dispatch, there. fore,are entirely discredited,nnd were considered in Paris as nothing more than gross fabrications. 'The Etoile contains an article from Andregar, of the 10th, which states that "the moderate party" its Cadiz is phidowinant—that the measures pursued for the security of the King's person had been relaxed,---hnd that the Duke d'Arwout.EmE . was about .to travel post to Port Saint Mary. —A private letter received express this morn ing from Paris, by one of the first Mercan tile Houses in the City, states that the Duke d'ANnota.ratE has actually set off from his head quarters in a carriage and four, accompanied by two of his Generals, and that his destination was fo'r Cadiz, near which it was arranged that he ,should have an interview with several Members or the Cortes. We cannot vouch for the accuracy of this important intelligence. It Is, however, in all probability authentic ; and, in our opinion, seems to be only one of the many indi cations of an approaching accommodation between the present belligerents. (Fran the Pik& if Yesterday.) PARIS Ago. 15.--The confirmation of the news given as semi-official, by the illonitcur, has been waited for with great impatience. Two' days have now elapsed, and nothing has arrived to 'confirm the dispatch from the Commandant of Barcelona. We must now consider the intelli gence of the embarkation of the Cortes, and of the cessation of hostilities, as void of foundation, or at least premature. Never theless, the fervour of the war appears to relax, and the diplomatic employs begin to dis cover themselves. One of them wishes England to offer again her mediation ; and this offer has contributed to the activity of the uegociation. Others wish, on the contrary, that Greet Bri tain should have nothing to do with it. The: reality of a m3gociation is generally heliesoii. It is reported al certain on 'Cha»ze, that His Royal Highness the Duke d'Augouieme set off post from l3aylen to Cadiz. According to the information arrived to-day, a Conititntional movement, in which the King has taken a favourable• part, has taken place -at} Lisbon. It. it also stated that, at the request of the nli• nisterila, *and in the name of the General, an English squadron, composed of 6 vessels of war, has sailed in great haste, and is now in the Tagus. • Although affairs are going on with greet rapi dity in Andalusia, Catalonia continues to present the same aspect. Barcelona is not yet invested. Every where we experiencevery obstinate re sistance. It appears that in that part of the Peninsula the campaign has only begun. The garrisons of the places besieged make fre quent sorties. The towns are provisioned for a ~`S r
