On the day of our arrival we found the Congress, the anly,acknowledged legislative Power, in full tivity. No re-actions, no 'arrests, ranch less have any execu. tions taken place. They have been contented with naming new Ministers, Without in the least, degree molt:sting:the old ones.-- After. my arrival 1 eooferentially came in contact with the Regent and his Ministers, T offered 'them the COlnpiwy's ship the larulf►ti to transport Iturbide and his family to Leg. horn.

The subjoined authentic correspondent* proves that thedetermined resolotion of the garrison an d. in habitants of Commie, to resist to the Wry, last extremity, had •not abated in the slightest degree and such explanations have been given for the depastAre of General QU'lttOC‘Atind fir ltoeiwr: NVILsoN from a place which they had so gallantly defended, as remove all the -apprehen sions width rVeht prod* ced by their seeming abandonment of their post. The departare Of the i!lx-Governor O f f Vigo (Rom.% vo) is also satisfactorily exidaitredl, by the fact that he had been superseded by the Corles in his command It now appears that General QutaotaA left Coranna in couseqUente of orders from the Minister at War at Cadit, that he should repair to that place to take a command in the Army of regetve:in Andalusia. It Was also necessary that the patriotic 'General should consult the SpOish Ambassador at the Pritish Court on important airairs ; and as Comma, wiren received the order of the 'Cortes, was blockaded by a French frigate, he availed himself of the opportithity of a safe passage presented by the sailieg of the Royal George, to come, to England, with the view' of subsequently taking shipping from this country to Cadiz. Accordingly, after having bad interview with the Spanish AmbasSador, Gelre%l 4 ol QUllt o a hai already set qff On his return to Spain.—lie left tan lust night in a chaise and four for Fal mouth, where a fast.saiting vessel will be hired to take him to Cadiz. It is confidently affirmed, that his voyage to England was connected with a request on the part of the S:vanish Ministry for the mediation qf the English Government"! --A letter froth Madrid, also, of the 28th July (see our daily extracts from the Morning Papers), says, th a t ,cedain reasons " have operated with so much force on the French Govern. ment, that it has been resolved, I um told (says the writer) to request England to step in as an arbitrator between the Duke sf ANnouLENIE and the Cortes !"—These asses. Lions certainly strengthen, in a very material degree, what we have been baying in the course of the present week, respecting the probable commencement of a negocintion. Wre are daily 'confirmed in the accuracy of our opinion upon this point, though, from the proper canti on o f the parties to so important a measure, no positive or authoritative information respecting it has as yet been suffered to transpire. hut, to return to the stale in which of airs were left at Comma :—in consegtence of the (leper tore of cturno,„4 , the chief •command of the gar rison has been conferred, by a Ministerial order from Cadiz, ou General NOVELLA, au officer who distinguished himself in Mexico by his oppo Sition 10 APODACA, the last Viceroy. He' had with him 4 officers of the rank of Brigadier- Generals, ir E U JAUDEGUI, CAMPILLO, and another ; Colotrets PoNTE and BA nco having the conimand or the attillery, and Colonel Ai.n.to of the engineers. The garrison, including volun. teers, and a corps of half-pay and retired officers, was said to be about 4,000 strong, of which 400 were artillery. In the latter corps there were no less than 40 Officers. All possible preparations had been made for an effectual defence: If the French succeeded in carrying the new city, they were prepared to' retire to the old city, and even lu case of extremity 'to occupy the Castle, situated in the harbour, which is extremely strong, and•commands the city ) rather than yield to the enemy. The batteries of the old :city had been supplied with heavy artillery and. mortars ; and this position being out of the reach of cannon shot from the heights, would enable them to make a long resistance after the French had bet:erne masters of the fortifications of the new city, which was not the case on the Ist instant: Thus it is clear that Coruttua had not fallen, and that the means existed ) except un dermined through treachery, for making a long resistance: As n proof that provisions *ere in abundance ) we may mention the price of the following ar ticles, part of a list supplied by one of the pas seingers in the packet :--Meat Was at 2 reals (about 5d.) thu pound of .9.0 oz.; bread, 1 real 'the pound , and the cantans (about 20 bottles) 'of wine, 40 reals. The letters front Coronna, which Are dated the 29th and •°ot?t ult., indicate the existence of the best spirit both in the troops and in the inhabitants. even the women of all ranks participated in this feeling, and heroically seconded the dettrminal tion which the 'Governor is said to have ex pressed', that he would make Carunna a second Saragossa. We have seen several letters written by ladies of the fiat families in Carolina, which quite justify this litatement. A proclathation had: been issued by the Governor, declaring it death for any person to advise or tall: of a capi tulation ; and one individual had actually suf fered for the violation of this order. it was also ordered., to prevent treacherous tomnatinications With the enemy, that persons exhibiting sig- MOS of any kind should be shot. por b t tr Il exis . t l e N d •t o r;o h x is w b a t s ,j a n t ß A a r t i l g o c u ,, t. tbouttatkheousg.hl:papirleig ,. for Cadiz, an ,hei lea v ingliadiio 'not, we understand, absolutely determined Vigo.

General VIGO, the late Governor of Corunun, bad taken the 'command or 3;000 troops in the vicinity of Vigo. At Ferrol, from which place letters have also been received by the Royal George, the French had placed a garriton of five hundred men. ft appearg tha• the inhabitants, though no resistance was offered to the entrance of the French, retained so much of the Con stitutional feeling, as to refuse submission to the' new authorities attempted AO be* put (Pier , them, and the Constitutional Authorities there: fore remained in office. ETTII teT or A MATTER DATED CORUNNA,Jpr.r 09. " Every day we have, a continual from our walls and entrenchments, kept. up agai!i,t the.advance of the French posted within goo; shot-, and defended by - quarries, in which they have stationed 'themselves, as well as lit the hotises nearest the walls, although - of , the litter they can make little use, for they are completely perforated by the cannOti-thot from the walls. Indeed they do not venture to remain in them long, for where any object is seen, they are'sure to be saluted with a ball or a shell. They must every day lose many men,. and I (lo not think they can stand their ground long. As far as tedards otirselves, : We have .good parapets Tounius, and only every now and then have we a wounded person, owing to the recoil of the French balls. It is very confidently asserted,. that the first day of attack the French lost 800 men killed* and Wounded, and ‘,on our part .we had four killed anti 9.8 wounded ; but it is'_ also true that the attack was the most rash ever made by men, and had they not been drunk they would not have undertaken it. They advanced very near our intrenchments 4 notwithstanding the resistance they experienced. They were glad tto sound a retreat. If they 'make use of heavy guns, certainly' they will do the walls of the town Soule:harm; hut it, is unaccountable that six days ago they fired 18 cannon-shot, and all the balls passed over the town. They have thrown ill two shells, Which did no damage. Our Qovernor and other Officers are resolved to die rather than sur render, and ell the workmen we can muster are employed hi the fortifications, as well as all the. inhabitants, without any distinction. Ile who is unable to work, is obliged to put a substitute. With regard to provisiens,,hitherto we have ex perienced no want ; but if the siege is prolonged, We shall be in want of fresh meat, and with that we must put up. Many females have left the place, Wit no passports are given to the men. SAME DAM—This place • continues to make tin heroic defence ever -since the 15th, when -it I t was attacked by the French to' the 'timber of 8,000 men. Their rashness on that and the fol• lowing day, when they formed the mad project of taking us by assault, was punished by the loss - of from 900 to 1000 men put hors de combat by the gallant resistance they experienced. Since that lesson they have troubled' us very little nevertheless, we have never skirt a moment, so that with small rencontres and the • incessant fire from our batteries, they may have lost about 500 more in killed, wounded, and deserters.— The garrison and inhabitants do not flinch in the least, and are resolved to defend themselves_ under every sacrifice, till the last extremity.— Never was greater ,enthusiustu displayed, and never were the spirits of a people bettir. We are prepared- for evertemergency, and if the French do, not receive considerable succours, of there appears no probability, they never be able to make a long stand. We are fortifying the old city for another line of tle 7 . I . :ince, if it should be necessary; but unless the French army is considerably reinforced we shall •not need it, for our adVanced works in front of the new city are strong enough.
