I. The French papers of Wednesday contain some particulars, not official., and very scanty, of the attack. and capture of the '1 rocadero. Accord ing to tboi., accounts; the loss in the French army did not amount to more than 40 killed :ind 100 wonnit,d, Wilds tilt. Spaniards are to have had 500 killed and• wounded. The forts of St. Louis and 11atagorda have also, it is stated, fallen into their hands. A French bulletin has never been remarkable for accuracy, but we con fess we PIV not without fear that too much of the present report is true. We fear that the state of things is the very reverse of what it ought to be: we fear that the French army isi enthusiastic in its object, and that the Spaniards are in con sternation. indeed, the, perfidy already evinc ed by so many constitutional leaders is enough to damp the ardour and paralyze the efforts of the troops. We wait with anxiety for the news from Cadiz. In the narrative of the actions, Prince Cariguatt is said to have been prodi gious valiant, and, like Prince V.olscius, to have lost a boot in tire mud. If this worthy had fought as zealously for the honour and freedom of his own country, as he is represented to have fought in the cause of unprovoked aggression, ills lattreti would have been worth something at present he has only earned the more shame, in proportinn to the energy of his exertions. Poor llaineltn, who was displaced from the com mand of the fleet, is said to have died of a brain fever. Doneadieu has also been put on the shelf, but has 101 good an opinion of himself to run any - risk of failing u vietim to mental anxiety. [NEW TIMES.] A report prevailed yesterday hi the City that Cadiz bad capitulated ; but the steady price of ':Consols seemed to indicate that little faith was phiced in that rumour by the persons hest capable of judging ; and our private letters from Paris hold out no idea of so early a sub mission. The details of the capture of the Trocadero had produced a strong sensation fu the Ft ouch capital, both on account of the magnitutl: , ef the achievement and of the in- • comi(l,i id/11. loss on the part of the French,' which to out to have been-unighified by The Ti mes t omtit fifteen to one. T 6 French Funds partook of the general feeling of confidence. rbe Etentei on Wednesday afternoon at. three o'clock Al,. oar. oc. exclusive of the dividend s and they clo , ed,at 00f. 55c.—The Restaurador, a M a il r id Journal, of the sth instant contains an official article on the capture of the Trocadero, which states that the whole - of that peninsula fell into the hands of the French, and that forts Louis and Matagorda were abandoned by the enemy. —Th e Republican troops were in clamber 1700, of whom only 350. escaped ; their. Commander, Colonel Garcies, and 1000 men, were made 13,4- sinters, and the number of cannon taken was 54. The number of killed and wounded on the part of the French is stated at 140. All accounts wee, that the Duke of Angouleme displayed the utmost personal bravery. fie marched at the head of his troops, in the hottest fire ; and an officer was shot dead by his side. The intre pidity which he displayed animated his soldiers to a dPgree of enthusiasm,' and has for ever at tached to iris name reedliections which will be dear to the French military. flow odious, how base does the conduct of .The Times now appear, in having, day after day r aspersed the name of this gallant Prince, with false and infamous imputa tions cowardice !To such charges he has nobly replied' by bis conduct at the attack of the Tro cadero ; buta deep disgrace is reflected on the English Press by these serpent attacks on the character of an illustrious foreigner. The contempt intended to he expressed by; the vulgar oicknarne of Prince Hilt recoils on the hend of its despi cahle`inventor ; for Englishmen will scorn the wretch, who .could deliberately become the assas sin of a brave man's reputation. [BRITISH PRESS.] The war in the Peninsula. begins to assume a decided character. In looking at the situation of the French army before Cadiz,it. is impossible not to feel coivinced that 'some linportant event , .must ere long take place. , We do net anticipate that the army of Angoulerne will succeed iu any attack thatimay be made On Cadiz ; on the other hand, if all be right within its walls—if traitors do not inhabit there— . -the cause of Constitutional Spain is yet farJroin hopeless. Our private ad vices represent the devotiOn of the Curtes and the army as' at the highest pitch ; and all concur in stating that the town is well provisioned, and in every way prepared successfully to re sist the besiegers. Hoping then (and believing) that this is , the truth, we anxiously look forward to the repulse of the Bourbon army, and its consequent abandonment of the siege. In Paris it is well known that the King and the Ministry are quite tired of the war; not that they are tired of attempting to de stroy the liberties of Spain, but they sicken at the cost of the undertaking, and are possibly notquite prepared -to .meet the Chambers, which will as semble, it is understood, much sooner than was ex pected, in consequence of the exhausted state of the Treasury, and the probability of large sup plies being required for a second campaign next year. One thing is beyond dispute, the conviction of which has greatly disturbed the French Ministry, that unless Angouleme be powerfully reinforced, he cannot hope to main tain himself in the heart of the Peninsula: his army has been drendfully,thinned by the climate and 'the - sword ; the last advices from Bayonne confirm this statement, by informing us that de tochments of sick from the army arrived there C 011;. tinually ; that the hospital 'was full ; and that num bers had been sent to the neighbouring town. Or the destruction by the sword, some idea may be formed by referrins, to the continued sorties from Barce lona, the Sen, F'igueras, Pampelund, &c. ; and lastly, by the slaughter of the Trocadero. The Moniteur of Wednesday, in its non-official part, puts forth this palpable falsehood—that the loss of the French in the affair of the 31st was only 40 killed and 100 wounded,: and yet these same accounts tell Hi, that the resistance of the Spaniards was most determined, and that their cannoniers braved death at their guns, and that their loss was estimated at 500 killed and prisoners, In the best-informed circles of Paris, however, it is positively stated that the French loss at the Trocadero amounted to tip. wards of 1,500; and that this circcumstance had powerfully inclined the Ministry to negotiation. We perceive hy ‘Vednesday's Papers that Sir Charles Stuart had an audience of Louis XVI I I. on Tuesday lust ; various reports are in circula `ion as to the object of this interview ; one report is, that Sir Charles presented a remonstrance to the French King against the Spanish war, whilst others assert that Louis sent for the British Am bassador and the Minister of the Regency for the purpose of opening a new negociation with the Cortes. Admiral Hamelin, who was recently removed from his command otT Cadiz, is said by the Paris Journals to have died of a brain fever. This officer was removed from his station for not vigorously maintaining the blocade of Cadiz. siderable disadvantage, could ,have sustained no greater loss in killed and wounded, than about one4hird of that .number ? Somucluthen for Freqch veracity. It will be recollected that during the last war waged by Buonaparte against Spain, the Trocadero was taken, with scarcely any opposition, and yet that capture did not facilitate the progress of the French towards Cadiz, against which they carried an ineffectual siege for about two years. short the only advantage they have now gained is, the taking of some prisoners, and several pieces of cannon, not one of which can be of any service to them in carrying on the bie . ge of Cadiz ; for their shot will not reach that city, even from. Matagorda or Caracca, which :places are still to be taken. It may, however, redound-•to the fame of the French, that their Generalissimo, the Duke d'Angoulen►e, behaved with great gatlantry during tl►e attack on the Trocadero. This is also some advantage ; but our ,readers may .be assured that, if the garri son of Cadi2 be resolved to defend that place, the French will not be able to effect their object, except by a general blockade, that must even tually produce starvation among the troops and the inhabitants, For some time past we have had no communication► from our private corres pondent at Madrid ; a circumstance which we can uccourit for only by supposing that his letters have beenintercepted by the police of that city ; and irr that case we have a right to inft-r, that no event in any degree particularly favourable to the French arms has yet taken place. [ - stottNING cfittoNta.t.] The Etoilc received yeSter(lay furnishes some additional'particulars relating to the capture of the Trocadero, whit!), however, instead of throw ing light on the contents of the telegraphic dis patch first transmitted to Paris, render it still more confused, owing to the numerous incon sistencies and improbabilities with which they abound. These details are contained in a let ter from Port St. Mary's, dad August 31st, the day on which the Trocadero was car ried ; but e .the writer seems more intent on flattering the Duked'Angouleme for,his military , prowess on this occasion, than actuated by,a'wish to convey information respecting the engagement. At first we were told that the coup de niain was effected in the Duke's presence ; now his friends wistrus to believe that, as soon as the bridge was thrown across the mut, he 46 placed himself at the head of his troops," and actually commanded the storming party. This is a bold enterprise for a Bourbon Generalissimo; whose ardour, how ever great it might !lava been, could never leave allowed him to venture on such a hazardous duty. The compliment 'to Prince Carignan also appears a, little far-fetched.--:—Whatevec consequences the French may wish to draw from the capture of the Trocadero, they are compelled to acknow ledge the bravery with which the Spaniards de, fended their position. " The Spanish cannoniers braved death at their guns," they themselves ad mit. " Eventually all were killed or made pH soners," they also add. Under the disadvantages, therefor of an advance along a level stir. face, and the casualties of an assault, it must notessarily be concluded that the loss -of the _French in killed - wounded, and drowned, (Mist have been enormous ; and any attempt nbw to disguise the 'faCt is therefore ridiculous. It loin not, however, be possible to come at the truth of this affair till - we have some arrival from Cadiz. In the mean time, all the advices through a Continental channel can only be sub jects for conjecture, as they must abound with imprlbabilities and exaggerations, which the Fren h have always so largely dealt in since they trod the Peninsula.—A. reconnoitering party is also announced as having advanced on La Caraca, the large dock-yard situated on the other side of the river Sand Petri, the Waters of which leave it on the west, and those of the Soa The other space, through on the opposite side. which troops could advance, consists of salt marshes. This movement, it k natural to con elude, was intended only as a diversion, whilst the main object was executing. Should, how ever, the French get possession of La Carach, the island of Leon is still separated from them by a basin, 900 feet long, and 600 broad, from which are cut two canals, the one running into La Caraca, and the other into the sea. This consequently, is not a military position that can prove alarming to the garrison of La Isla. As might be expect ed, the French have lost no time iNgiving a de gree of importance to the possession of an isolated poi nt,in which, after their enormous loss, they may receive infinitely more injury than they can cause to their enemies, particularly if they make it a basis for operations extending beyond a simple attempt to bombard. The Trocadero, and the strip of ad joining land on which Matagorda originally stood, are completely commanded by the Puntales forts; and the Spanish gun-boats plying in the outer bay. The crisis in Cadiz, however, =is fast ap proaching, and the only alternative now left the-French is roam force - . They have totally failed in their plans of bribery and in trigne, as we announced they would, and it has proved impossible to blockade the harbour with any hopes of a speedy result. They have like wise discovered that the Constitutionalists assem bled in the Gadit anean Island are not to be in timidated by threats, o r cajoled by deceptiie promises. The enemy must now, therefore, dis. play his strength and energy, and, besides, no time must be lost, for the ground he now occupies is extremely unhealthy, e ven to persons accUs tomed to live Upon it.

CHARGE OF MURDER. [FURTHER PARTICULARS.I Yesterday Wm. Briton Dyson was indicted for the wilfu murder of Eliza Anthony. Mr. WALronD stated the case for the prosecution. Mr. ADOLPHUS-and Mr. ANDREWS appeared for the pri soner. The prisoner, a respectable looking young man, genteelly dressed in black, listened with 'profound attention to the ad dress of the Learned Counsel for the prosecution. While the Counsel was detailing the facts of the case about to be proved in evidence, the . prisoner betrayed considerable emotion, his features being much agitated, and a death-like paleness per.. 'vaded his countenance. Elizabeth Bell examined—Knows the prisoner; and also knew the deceased, Eliza Anthony—they lived together as man and wife: -On the 25th July they - a-ere both at witteis's house —they seemed very dejected—said they were going to the play —did not speak to the deceased—he stopped about five minutes, when they went away—saw the prisoner again about one o'clock in the middle of the night—he came to her apartment very wet. Witness said to him, Where is Eliza r He - said, " Poor thing ! she is no more—she is drowned." Wit ness then went up stairs, and got a light—when she came down prisoner said deceased had drowned herself, and he could not save her. (The prisoner wns .here indulged with a chair.) Witness continued—The prisoner told witness that he meant to make away with himself; that he was in much distress,—he used language somewhat incoherent, which witness could not comprehend; witness could not persuade him to pull off his clothes for several hours ; he had been in distressed circum stances for some time. _ Cross-examined by Mr. AltnnEws—The distress appeared great. Witness had been on intimate terms with prisoner, with whom she had words on account of his extraordinary affection for the deceased. It had been agreed that the deceased should sleep with witness the night Eliza was drowned ; witness sat up for that purpose ; it was quite clear he had been completely immersed in water; lie wished witness to give information to' every body, and particularly to the mother of deceased ; wit ness went to the mother, who lives in Boswell-court, Carey street; the mother came and brought an officer; he never went away, but sat waiting for the arrival of an officer; he was of a most humane disposition, and would not hurt a worm. William Williams swore that he lived at No. 12, Sherrard street—prisoner and deceased lived at his house. as man and wife for three months—never knew a better pair of people in his life—leer affection was extraordinary, and he gave them extra indulgence on account of his strict regularity—never saw the mother of Anthony at their apartments. By the CounT—Did not know that he cohabited with Mrs. Bell. Frances Hopkins examined—Witness lives in the same house with Mrs. Bell—saw the prisoner the morning he came home wet—gave him her place in her bed, which he reluctantly ac ceptedlie was wet all over. By the,CounT —His hat was as wet as his elothes—it was near two o'clock when he came in- , -at first she was aSleep— heard him say Eliza was drowned before site had well,;opened her eyes—he went out of the room while she dressed herself. Robert Ramsey examined—Witness is a watchman stationed in Jermyn-street. On the morning of the Ilfith he saw the pri soner, about half-past one—heard hint exclaim, " What have I..done ? oh, dear,. oh, .dear !"—Witnesa said,..it Vow have done something lam sure"—he rung at the - bell of Mrs. Bell's house, and said it was 411 right,-.a person came up - at the throe, named Holliday, who said the prisoner's name was Dyson— Holliday said to him, " That is your wife, Lbellete, wbo lives above tne."—Mrs. Bell came down and let him in--theupper part of his clothes were not wet—not above his waist--witness stood by him two minutes—did not notice the lower part of his raiment. Cross-examined by 1111'. ANDREWS—NeVn was examined before the Magistrate or Grand Jury—this was his first account —saw the prisoner about half-past one; as already stated—the gas-light was close by,-there was nothing which induced him to notice his clothes—never handled him—all he meant to say was, that he did not know the clothes were wet-would not swear that lie had not been in the water—did not observe his hat—would not swear that the lower part of his clothes Wen wet. John Bayne watchman to the Speaker of the House of Com mons, stated that on the night of the 25th and morning of the 26th of July, he was on d ut y. Wit ness h ear d, o n the night in question, a cry of mu r d er , f ront s t f ema l e vo i ce — saw a m a n among the boats a t t hi s time—could not see whether it was the outside boat—heard th e man cry out, "Eliza, Eliza, my dear!" The intervening spa ce was lee yards—heard him cry for help several times. Could not go to hi s ass i etance , be cau s e h e wa s locked in the, garden. I t w as l ow water, but the tide was coming up_it was a calm night. George Salloway, a waterman, deposed that he moored his boat under the arch of Vi r estminster-bridge, at ebb tide—found the boat the . next morning near Old Palace-yard, in deep water—it was 10U yards from where he left it. On his - way to Vauxhall next morning he found a bonnet under the seat— .the boat was very dirty—it appeared as though there had been a scuffle between two persons. There are piles near the Speaker's wall, where a person might get a bruise. The bonnet now pro duced was that he found in the boat. By Mr. ANDREWS—It WAS high water that moruing a little after four o'clock. BY the Corwr—A person going frOM the . stairi!to the boat might get mud on their shoes—mud appeared to have been scraped Willie shoes on tbe .backboard,-in plunging into the river the feet' might go against that part 'of the boat. Samuel Wilson, a waterman, stated that, from his know. ledge of the river, the boat of last witness would scarcely have been afloat. It would at half-past one, but at that time there would not be sufficient water to drown a person. By Mr. ANDBEws—If a body had fallen into the water, it would have floated,upwards with the title. . Several medical gentlemen were then examined who had seen the body, and whoxipiessed.ratlier a:different opinion as to some black marks observed under the deceased's eye. Some of them thought they were from external violence—others not; the besftestimony was on the latter side. Mr. Stirling, the Coroner, produced the notes of the pri soner's confession at the Coroner's Inquest. He afterwards requested to make a statement relative to the body. He had, as Coroner, seen many drowned persons, whose bodies hited such appearances in a shorter time, where there was. no idea of suspicion. His Lordship considered this to be a very important state ment. . . Mary Johnson Anthony, a decent woman, stated • that she was the mother of the deceased, with whom the prisoner wished to =tract marriage, buf she (witness) refused. This was the case for the prosecution. The PriSoner made no defence. The following witnesses to character were called:— William ,Frederick Duncan proprietor of the St. Alban's Coffee-libuse, stated that the prisoner formerly lived in his set. tice—he was an execedingly:liumane man. • - Thomas Pugh, and William Wyatt, a publican, gavesimilar testimony., ..... Thomas 'Wait, a servant, had known him ten years—he was a kind-hearted man. Mr. Wood, .who had been examined for the prosecution, gave the prisoner an excellent character. Mr. Justice REST proceeded to sum up the evidence at a quarter before, one o'clock. His Lordship observed that it was an important charge, and required the utmost attention. The first qUestion is—By what means did the deceased come by her death ? Then another question arose—Did the prisoner force her into the water P If so 'the prisoner was:guilty,of.tuurtler— Agalii,lfthey had mutually agreed to dr6wn themselves, and when the prisoner came into the water took care to save him. self, he would advise the Jury to find him guilty, end he would take care that execution should be stayed, in order that the opinion of the twelve Judges might be taken on the point he would reserve, provided they found him guilty on that consi deration alone. There was still another point. Supposing the deceased and prisoner went there for the purpose of destroying themselves, and the deccaseji threw herself in on her own ac cord, that would' nor constitute the crime of murder. His Lordship would read over every word of the evidence which had been adduced on this momentous and painful inquiry, which he did with his usual perspicuity, making suitable observations as he proceeded. The July, after consulting for some time, retired, and in about: 25 Minutes found a special verdict of Guilty, on the ground that the prisoner and the , deceased went to the boat for the purpose of drowning themselves';. but subject •to the opinion of the twelve Judges. The Court was crowded to excess. During the absence of the. Jury, the prisoner (who was very thoughtful throughout thelrial) appeared by the motion of his lips, to be engaged in prayer; He left the bar withouterincing any material change of countenance. It is but justice to remark, that, owing to the prisoner's po. verty, Mr. Humphrey, the attorney, from a conviction that the prisoner originally intended to drown himself With the young woman, defended his cause throughout all its stages gratuitously. „z ~ ;;,r ~ s ~'`s _ ~ a [MORNING HERALD.] The French Papers of Tuesday last, which we received yesterday evening, contain a fuller, at though not an official, detail of the capture of Trocadero, than what was communicated some days before by a telegraphic dispatch. The place was carried by a sudden attack, made on the morning of the 31st, or rather the night of the 30th ult., when the French troops, availing themselves of the darkness which then prevailed, waded across theditch, and mounted the ramparts, which they got possession of, after defeating the Spanish cannoneers who had been stationed at the guns. The loss of the French is stated to have been no more than 140 in killed and• wounded, and this is accounted for by tbs. circumstance of the guns not being able to bear upon then►, the balls having passed over their heads. Such is the statement contained in the French papers, which affect to represent this achievement as one of vast importance. It is, however, an event to which we attach very little import ance, so far as regards the ulterior operations of the assailants. It is well known, that the Trocadero cannot be called a fortress, nor is it a place of any strength, Ilut an insignificant redoubt, which had been formed merely for the purpose of impeding the advance of an enemy towards the bay of Cadiz ; and this may be inferred from the account which the French themselves gave of its capture. A well fortified place could never be taken, in the way they. describe. The ditches of such a place could not be approached, until after a severe conflict at what is called the covered way; nor passed over without fascines or floating bridges ; nor could the ramparts be ascended without ladders ; and even during these operations the assailants would be enfilded, and numbers of them destroyed, by the fire of the,' bastions, which are always attached to well-for tified places. But from the account before us, it is evident that there was neither a covered way nor bastion ; that the ditch was fordable, and' that the ramparts were so low as not to op pose any obstacle to the assailants in ascend ing them. So much for thins boasted advantage . gainingd by the besiegers of Cadiz, whose statement respecting the small amount of thi.ir toss, compared to:that of the. Sp an i ur d s ,-; s altogether unworthy of credit. The telegrlphic account stated the loss of the Sp;lniards in killed and wounded to have been 400. It is •evident then, that there must have been very severe fight ing ; and 16 it to be supposed that,, a great body of assailants, who always roust fi ght under con.. 1 4ANSLAUGIITER. JAILE1:11, William Balgrave, and William Intworth, Were indictNi for the murder of Samuel Dance, in the }latish of Ee.Png. _ _ %rub Jones depost . -d, that he was present at the Lion public. house on the day named in the indictment. A dispute arose between the prisoners and the deceased. Hill laid hold of the deceased by the collar, and threw him against the settle. The other prisoners diJ nor touch inn:. The decayed appeared to be considerably injuied, and was taken out of tile - roar. The parties were playing and larking together. Richard Buggins, who was also present at the affray, con firmed this statement. The face of the deceased was crushed against the settle. The deceased was much in liquor at the time. James Shields, a private in the Guards, saw the deceased pushed against the settle. When he fell he cried out, " Oh, my loins !' and said no more. The deceased All down front his own intoxication. _ _ Matthews, the landlord of the public-house, proved that,thq deceased was taken home two hours after the fall. He heard the deceased was sent home in a wheel-barrow, but did not see it. Mr. Dickenson, a surgeon, gave his opinion that the deceased died from a quantity of coagulated blood in the head. The habits of the man and the state of intoxication were a sufficient , cause to produce the rupture of vessels. One witness was called to the character of one of the pri. goners. Mrs. Blagrave, mother of the prisoner, spoke to the state of the deceased when taken home. _ Mr. Justice BEST, in charging the Jury, observed, that there was no pretence for charging the prisoners with the crime: of muzder. The death of the derp.sed had probably been ac celerated by the acts of the prisoners, and the extent of the crime chargeable against them was manslaughter only.. He lamented that the landlord of the house had not been in cluded in the indictment., as he had been most culpable in ,al- . lowing such irregular conduct in his house. ' The Jury . found a verdict—Manslaughter: - Mr. Jusuce BEST observed, that as the prisoners had al ready undergone a protracted imprisonment, he should take care that the further punishment should be of a light nature. MELANCHOLY ACClDENT.—Wednesday after-s noon a little girl, about six years old, who had been playing about the yard of Mr. WHITELOCK f timber-merchant, PaddingtonWharf, being missed by her father, a sawyer in the yard, he went ia► search of the child, and was shocked to discover one of her feet visible near the Surface of the water in the Canal. 'On falling into the Canal, it would appear, the poor infant tumbled head-, long, and her head stuck fast in the mud at the bottom. She had been missed for three quarters of an hour before the body was found, and half: an hour elapsed afterwards before surgical assist ance arrived; so that all the efforts that were then employed to revive the spark of life proved, unavailing. DEATH BY BUYING.--Another result of drunken men fighting, which ended in the death of a la-. bourer of the name OrYonathan Higgins, occurred on Thursday. The affray originated in a quarrel between Gilbert, a navigator, and, the deceased, , at a public-house at Chiswick, and they agreed , to end the dispute by a boxhig match in an empty barge. After a pulley-hauley affray of an hour, the deceased ruptured a vessel, and died on his way home down the River. Price. 35s 91 to 44& 378 3d to 4ds 6d. COAL-MARKET, SEPT. 0: Ships. at Market, . .
