matic perversion of truth in all the ,French ac-1 coents from Spain, that we hesitate to give credit to a story which is certainly not the least impro bable of the innumerable irtprobabilities and falsehoods by which he accounts of the preient campaign have been' distinguished.—The Ma drid _news from Port St., Mary slates that all the male population of Cadiz, between the ages of 16 and 60, have been ordered to take up arms for the defence of the city. It was but the other day that we were told that the Constitutional Government was so apprehen sive of an insurrection, that cannon were planted in the streets to overawe , the in habitants ! Now, it appears that they have compelled those very-- inhabitants, whose dis affection was notorious, to take up arms, for the purpose, we suppose, of enabling them to butcher the authorities who have been so insane as to . • arm treason against themselves! , . We ltave received Madrid Papers to the 18th. The Gazette Extraordinary of the 17th gives the following account of the capture of Itiego:—= • • " OFFICIAL ARTICLE. Li The Intendant of La Carolina has,', by an express to the Secretary of 'War, announced What follows " Excellent Senor, —This moment , 9 o'clOck : at' night the infamous leader of the rebellion, Ru• f:tel del Riego, has just entered this town a pri soner, and is lodged in a dungeon of the public gaol. Three other officers were taken with him, and they are also confined in duogeons. I can not at present give your Excellency the details of this. glorious capture, but I shall transmit them to you by another opportunity. The Civil Commandant of Arguillos, dependent on this intendancy,. and the labourers of. that place, Were, without a single soldier, the meritorious captors. May God preserve you* Excellency many years. . '" JUAN JOSEF CABALLERO, Intendant ad interim. "Carolina, Sept. lB. • "To His Excellency the Minister of War." The ordinary Gazette of the 18th gives no far, ther account of the taking of DIEGO but exults on that event in these terms : " The notice of the taking of the counterfeit hero, itiego,. which was yesterday announced by an extraordinary Gazette, bat filled with joy the heroicpeople of Al adrid. • They see ren dered powerless and delivered up to.the law,. a man who, not. withstanding his Incapacity for great enterprises, the anarchic faction had selected' to serve as a standard under which might be assembled amultltude of those imprudent and evil disposed men who contribute to support the faction, and aid it in put. ting in practice the infamous means a do p ted to carr y its Object, and of which all Europe has been witness. For his own part, the hero himself has done all the direct mischief of which he was capable. This the city of Malaga experienced to its cost when he could no . longer continue to act the ridiculous charity .ter lie.hadra.ssumed, and which he performed so ill as to draw down npon him the mockery and contempt of even his own fol lowers. We might say much more on this event, but we re spect:the situation Of a delincnient when under the power of the law, And we now merely visible call the attention of our readers to this dispensatiOn of Divine Providence, which caused the loudly boasted Riego to fall into the hands of some men be ' longing to a simple and worthy population, totally unacquaint ed with the delusive exhortations and flattering promises of this perretual preacher offalsehpod and perjury." Ihe following articles of intelligence are ex tracted. from the same ordinary Gazette : PUERTO .DE SANTA MARIA, sErT..I 3. cc The _Duke Of Angouleme passed last night at Chi China, and returned here tO-day at noon. " The military preparations, which are im mense, are forwarded With extraordinary expe dition ; and some great event may be every hour expected. . . 4.‘ It is said for certain' that Alava has been appointed Military Governor of Cadiz, instead of Don Cayetano Valdes. ,Quiroga, who is also in Cadiz, has no reputation. I ic tis said that an exorbitant contribution has been imposed_ on the merchants, and that all the riisfp population, from 16 to 60, have been order ed to be in arms. ccMADitID,.

New York Papers to the Ist September ar rived this morning. The following are extracts :- -PEnt.l.—The ship Pacific left Callao the 2d May,.and brings intelligence three or four days later. A Colombian schooner of war had just arrived, suppose d to have on board General Bolivar, from Guayaquil, who was to act as Ge neralissimo to the comb ined Colombian and Peruvian troops, and a decisive blow to the hopes of the Royalists was soon expected. • (From the Norfolk Paper, Aug. 25.) HATANNAII, Ati G. 6.—/Extract of a Letter.) — The news of the insurrection in the island of Barbadoe4 was immediately communicated to our excellent Governor, whose attention, no doubt, has been somewhat awakened towards the secu- city of this island. Our political destiny is, un der existing circumstances, very critical ; but we hope that peace and tranquillity *ill be pre. served among us. I' ROM Ilivrr.—The term for which the law, forbidding intercourse between Hayti and the other. West India Islakls, which was suspended with St. Thomas and Curragoa, will expire in November. Some efforts to have it renewed have failed, and we understand several merchants in Hayti are collecting stocks of goods, to be ready for the discontinuance of the intercourse. A British frigate lately paid a friendly visit to Port au-Prince, and the officers were treated with great politeness. APPOINTMENT OF CONSULS TO SOUTH AME. RICA.—An Evening Paper of yesterday has put a kind of qualified contradiction upon our an nunciation of the appointment of British Consuls to several of the South AMerican States. We repeat, therefore, in the most positive manner, that the appointments, - though not yet Gazetted, and although that official announcement may per haps, be for some little time delayed, have ac tually been made. It is not . less Mischievous than absurd in a .rournalist to pretend to nega tive statements of this kind, merely because he happens to be ignorant of the facts, the reality of which he takes upon himself to deny. Gibraltar Papers and Letters to the sth inst. have been received. On the evening of the 2d, a considerable number of small craft left the bay with supplies . for Cadiz. Sir R. WiLsos, with Generals QUIROGA and ZAYAS, and several other officers of the Constitutional party, went as passengers. The Tribune frigate had sailed for Malaga, to inquire into the circumstances under which the English ►merchants resident there had been thrown into prison by R►reo, for non payment of their assigned quota of contribution to the forced loan. The American Commodore, who - was solicited to sail for Malaga on a similar errand in behalf of the American merchants and Consul at that place, refused, on the plea that he had no authority to interfere. Little information existed in Gibraltar of what was passing at Cadiz. The French troops at Algesiras left that place on the 2tl for Port St. Mary's. The Spa nish Guards remained. AViNnspit, SEPT. c 24.—On Tuesday his MA- J EST Y, with his usual attendants, took an airina in his little phieton from the Cottage to the Castle, where his Majesty staid - some time and viewed the..apartments ) and afterwards returned to the Lodge to dinner. This mornin g k his Ma jesty tools, also in his phaeton down the 'Long Walk, and went to the Castle with his usual attendants, where the King remained some time, and then returned to the Lodge'to dinner. We are 'happy to say that his Majesty appears in excellent health.--:-'Tie Duke of Saxe Weimar arrived at the Castle Inn this morning .from Bushy . Park. His Serene Highness inspected the Castle, and then viewed Eton College and different other places, and afterwards returned to Bush Park . . The afternodn • being fine, the Bands of the Royal 'Horse Guards and the Royal FUzileers, played on the hill to the left of the Royal Standard. The walks were thronged by. all the neighbouring Nobility to hear. them. The Bands tiniihed with " God save the King." PORTsMOLITH,SEPT.e3.—WhiIe general anxiety is felt respecting the fate of Captain PARRY, and his adventurous companions, to - which public attention has been lately called by premature statements, which have ended in disappointment, we have keen visited by another navigator of great celebrity, who is going_bn his third voyage round the world. We allude to Captain OTTO Vow KOTZEBUE w ho accompanied. Cap tain Krusenstern, and afterwards made a voyage to the South Sea, and North East coast of America, in a small vessel fitted out at the expence of that munificent patron of science Count Romanzoff. The very interesting account of that expe dition, and the discoveries he made, are well known in Eng. land, having been translated and published two years ago. On the present occasion he is sent by the Russian Government, and nothing has been neglected to insure the success of the voyage. The ship was - built last winter expressly f o r this voyage. She is a corvette, called the Enterprise, carrying 24 gutis, and manned with a crew of 80 men anti 13 officers, all volunteers from the Imperial navy; she has on board two rhy sicians, both welt versed in natural history—one of them is Dr. Eschschloz, who accompanied Captain Kotzebue on his late voyage. The Astronomer is Mr. Preiss ; Mineralogist, Mr. Lintz.; and professed naturalist, Mr. Hoffman. These gen tlemen are all from the Universia of Dorssat lininetlit.tely on his arrival Capt. Kotzebue went to London to receive the astro nomical instruments and the chronometers, which had been previously ordered by the Russian Government .for this expe dition. The astronomical instruments are Made by the cele:. breed Troughton, who is justly considered,throughout Europe as the worthy successor of Ramsden, and by. Jones, instruinent_ maker to the Admiralty : The chronometers are by ParkinSon and Frodsham, whose improvements in these machines have obtained much well-merited praise, since their !Superiority has been so fully proved in several of the late scientific voy- , ages, especially Captain Parry's to the Polar Sea, and Captain Sabine's to the Coast of Africa. As the object of this expedi. ' tiers is said to be not so much for new discoveries, as to make ac curate surveys,ittid-nlost. strictly to determine, by astrono mical observations, the real situation of many important points.; Cannot bitt applaudtthe judgment and liberality of the Im perial Gyvernintmt in applying to the above eminent Artists for the numerous instruments required for the full attainment of the,object proposed. Captain Kotzebue's, d es tination is to Rio Janeiro,yound Cape Horn to Karntschatka, where he will find furt h er instructions, which are, to be forwarded ove rland through Siberia. CAPTAIN SABINE'S EXPF.DITION.--A letter from an officer on board of his Majesty's gun brig the 'Griper, ott her voyage to the North Pole, dated Hammerfast Bay, Nor wegian Lapland, June, 1823, says—" We arrived hoe safe on the .2tl instant. On the :.4th May we passed the arctic circle, and experieneed some difficulty in finding Ilimmerfast_ Bay, its the whole land is one continued chain of islands along 41e coast, and but imperfectly laid down in the charts. We enjoy excellent health, and are extremely comfortable. The weather we Is now getting better, as atinniter is rapidly advitncilig, an have a continuation of day-light .all the twenty-four hours, the sun never sitting below the horizon. The island is about twenty-four miles in circumference, and five or six in breadth and gives name to a small town of about thirty or forty wooden houses, containing about two hundred inh.

COWES, SEPT. 24.,-Yesterday morning . the Hon. Charles Pelham's yacht, Falcon, came into harbour to be paid off, and laid up for the winter ; and as he is Commodore, we expect his example will be very generally tbllowed by the Members of the Royal Yacht Club. The season has been most discouraging to yacht sailors, yet it appears to have had but little-effect in de terring the Members of the Royal Club from embarking. as • usual. Among those we have seen here with the Commodore are—Lord Viscount Melville, in the Admiralty yacht, t:,:e Duke of Norfolk, Marquis of Anglesey, Lord Willoughby,de Broke, J. Masse, Esq., 'l'. Halifax, Esq., T. Williams, Esq., W. Curtis, Esq., J. Gordon, Elq., .1. Roche, Esq. F. N. Pare, Esq., J. Lindergreen, Esq., in their cutters ; Viscount Deerhurst, A. Bacon, Esq., 11. Perkins, Esq., J. P. Powell, Esq., Capt. G. Windham, Robert .1. Allen, Esq. intheir schooners ; and Sir W. Curtis. Sir G. heeds, Bart., J. Fleming, Esq., Rev. G. Cap per, S. Challen, Esq.-Ilon. Wm. Hare, J. Shakespear, Esq. T. A. Smith, Esq., C. B. AI. Talbot, Esq., in their yawls. When' we reflect on the distressed state of our brave seamen; it is truly gratifying to see so many noble and optilent gentlemen holding out a benevolent ham( to them ; and as we know of no amusement so truly national, we rejoice to see our Alonarch and men- of birth and fortune familiarizing themselves to the element, and taking under their protection, the men that are the great source of our wealth, anti the sheet-anchors of otir safety. It is a recreation that promotes alikelhe health of the individuals and the prosperity of the country, while it is the most honourable and least expensive amusement an English Gentleman can embark in-; and, therefore we hope to see the list of its Members rapidly increase, and that, under the pro tection of the King and the Admiralty, it will become as popu lar as it is useful. . . YORKSHIRE GRAND MUSICAL FESTIVAL. YORK, SEPT. first series of these performances commenced this day. For the last three days this city has hail the appearance of more than wonted bustle and. activity, par ticularly yesterday, when, carriages continued to arrive the. whole of the day,, following each other in rapid succession. The theatre is to he open every night. An incorrect statement appeared in the London prints of Friday last, that Madame Catalani would not sing here. That distinguished vocalist ar rived in this city yesterday in excellent health. The large west, gpery was this day completely tilled; as also was the middle aisle, and nearly the side aisle of our magnificent' cathedral.— It is ndeed worth while to twat' a 410Asi the remotest part of the kingdom to be present .at this extraordinary meeting.— The orchestra consist% of dearly 500 instrumental performers, and Madame Catalani, Miss Stephens, Miss D. Travis, Mr. Vaughan, Mr. Sok), and others, are amongst the vocalists. We commenced with flandel's re Deans ; the first burst or sound of the opening symphony was truly ,appalling ; and when the voices joined the instruments in " We praise thee, 0 Hod !" the auditory sense was nearly overpowered. " The Tempest" of Haydn followed, and as the former was a grand assemblage of sound addressed to the Deity, this was a grand display of voices and instruments, to express the raging of the elements in the natural world. The middle aisle is as long again as iVest• minster Abbey; and when seated on the highest point, the voices in the orchestra seem to come from an opposite mountain. Catalani in " Oratias agimus tibi," and " Holy, holy ;" Miss Stephens in " Pious Orgies," and "As for the lower," &c.. were never in finer voice. Although the performances closed about four o'clock, the whole of the company did not go from the cathedral until 7 o'clock, owing to the excessive rain and the immense numbers present. The streets are now filled with carriages driving to the concert, and all the city is in a bustle. MARRIAGE IN Mali LIFE.--On Wednesday the 17th instant, at Shugbomugh, the seat of Lord Viscount A nson, b y the Rev. P. Anson, A.1%1., the' Rev: Charles Okeover, of Oke over, in the county of Stafrord, to Mary Anne, eldest daughter of General the Hon.

The Duke of YORK. viewed the improvements of Covent-Garden Theatre last night, which H ill this evening be witnessed by several persons in. vited for that purpose. The Duke of SOSSEX has left Kensington Pa. lace, on a visit to Jolt N . Derr., Esq. M. P. at his seat, Barton Cottage, near Lymington, liants. We are happy to state, from unquestionable authority, that the LORD CHANCELLOR. is at this time enjoying perfect health, and that he often amuses himself with the spoils of the field.

Mr. GRAHAM had announced his intention to ascend in his balloon from this place on Monday last but, as you may have learned, owing to the boisterous and rainy state of the weather, adopting the advice of several friends here, he postponed such intention till this day. It was fortunate that he did so,because this day has turned out very favourable for his adventurous voyage. The scene of ascent was extensive premises behind the 'loyal Oak lnn. The most ample arrangements had been made for a supply of gas from the' gas-works of this town: the work of inflation commenced soon after ten o'clock, and the supply came so rapidly; that by one o'clock the balloon was more than half full. Mr. Graham superintended the inflation, and by two &clock it was so far distended as to display its shape. The ground was fully attended ; and amongst the company was the Duke of Buckingham, attended by a patty of friends, *lmbed chairs near the balloon, so that they might observe-the.proftrat.:of inflation. fillortly before four o'clock Mr. Graham said that the balloon was sufficient) y filled with gas, and he then fixed the ear to the balloon. All was ready by twenty minutes after four, when he anti Mr. ‘Vebbe got into the car amidst the cheers of 111011°1411am The balloon then rose, the ropes having been cut; but it with difficulty cleared the roofs of the stabling, the car even knocking oil some of the slates. The balloon then descended, which created consi derable alarm for the aeronauts; however, it fortunate)) , de scended into the middle of the main street, when the crowd laid hold of theca; and paraded it up the street to a more open space. It was now found requisite for. Mr. Webbe to quit Ins station, which be did with considerable reluctance. That having been done, and Mr. Graham having righted himself, he gave the Word of command to let go. The balloon then ascended rapidly, beautifully, and steadily, Mr. Graham waving his hand to the populace to evince that all was safe and promising. Onwards the balloon winged its way, but with so much tip. parent slowness as to afford the public ample opportunity tor witnessing its progress. In about seven minutes it was entirely out of sight. THEATRE OF V Anivrir.—The little theatre hi. Catherine-street opened last night with a series of entertainmen ts that redeemed the promise of its name. Their variety, however, exceeded their excellence; and many of them had better been spared ; but with the remainder, when freed from the more than ordinary portion of delay incident to a first evening's perform ance; a person might feel amused for a couple of hours. There. presentation of the rising sun and a storm at sea, were pretty speci mens of scenic mechanism. M. Cornillot exhibited sonic slight. of-hand tricks, which were suflicientlY curious, 'hut the dexteri ty . with whicbhe . picked a gentleman's pocket of his watch, ob. tamed for him immense applause from the gallery. In the singing department, u young lady appeared for the first time upon the stage, whose extreme terror nearly deprived her of all voice; notwithstanding which she attempted " The Soltikr tied," and was so far successful as to receive an encore. Tire Haunted 3funastery was only saved from being 'completely damned by the children's pretty dancing. LORD YARBOROUGH.--We regret to state the death of this very worthy and most respected Nobleman, which event took place at his Lord ship's seat in Lincolnshire on Tuesday last. lie was created a Baron in the year 1794 ; mulls succeeded in his title by his eldest son, tt u Hon.

MUNDEN—the veteran, the incomparable Mon den—gratified his Brighton friends on Tuesday by appearing as Old Donator; and Crack. It was known to be his only performance here this season, and the 'house at the drawing up of the curtain was accordingly crowded to excess in every part.
