TI! LiQ o v JOULNALS. p A I IX Ixtrathfrom the Morning Papers, September 10. -..+-- [THE TIMES.] The telegraph has announced, it appears, that 4t three quarters past two o'clock, on the 31st Ult." the-Trocadero" was carried by the French trmaps, under the eyes of the Duke of Angou leme; that the Spaniards (this is worth attending . to) lost 400 men killed and wounded, 900 pri• !loners, and 50 pieces of cannon. The French lost is.not, even glanced at in the meagre official stittamk.t; but report was not idle in Paris last Monday, from two to three thou Sand Frenchmen beipg said to have fallen on this occasion. . It is to be regretted that we are left in total ignorance by (lie MoniZenr, not merely of the price which his Highness of Angouleme has paid for his ac quisition, but of What it is that he has gained. " The Trocadero" was carried on the 31st of August. - What, then, is the Trocadero ? There is an island called the Trocadero, contained be tween the inner harbour of Cadiz on one side, and the canal of Trocadero on the other. This island stretches N. E. and S. \V., and is on the opposite side of the inner harbour from the Ca raccasnod from the town of San Carlos. There is upon it the fort of St. Louis ; the whole being altogether out of shot or shell distance, with re spect to the city of Cadiz. There is, again, to the north of this island, a peninsula WiTned by ' the canal of Trocadero on the south, and the bay of Cadiz on the east. This oblong peninsula is likewise termed the Trocadero, and on it there stands three forts : one, with some contiguous batteries, looking towards the land side, or French quarters at Puerto Beal, bears, as well as the i above island and peninsula, the common de nomination of Trocadero : the remaining two long are St. Joseph and Matagorda, thp,, last of whiCh is ,placed' opposite to the Castle 'of Pun tales, with a channel between thorn, 1,330 yards wide. Puntales stands about mid way on the neck of land which connects the -Isle de Leon with Cadiz, nod the northern extremity of which forms the site of the lawn. This neck is washed on the' west -by the ocean, on the east, towards Matagorda, by the harbour. But Matagorda is the single point of the Trocadero, whence, even with bombs of the greatest power, any shells (for shot is out of the question) Call be thrown into the nearest quarter of Cadiz. The distance horn Matagorda to the head of the town is 4,100 yards ---two miles and a half ; to the market plaCe of Cadiz, 4,400 yards. Sault's overgrown mortars were cast, ihr the hope of being able to terrify--to injure the garrison they could not ; and, in spite of them, the Cortes of 1810-11-12 sat and laughed at the labours of the besieging army, until the vicissitudes of war in another part of Spain set the whole of Andalusia free.— if, then, Matagorda itself he not in the hands of the Frenclrarmy, the Generalissimo might just as well attempt to bambard Gibraltar as Cadiz from any other point of the Trocadero. •So far RS Call he judged from the dispatch, ,nothing more Whi tried than an assault unon those works, of the ConStitutionalists fronting the lines of the besiegers, and far enough detached'frOm'Nfata i_sr,ordai It may he otherwise , for an y thin g we - Know ; but such is the natural inference from the effielni sintt , men t, and it is further corroborated by the . small loss ascribed to the Spaniards— which, although the tel would take especial care that it should not be in any case under-raied, estimates the force in defence of the works, includingkilled,wounded, and prisoners, a t 0 ,4 1,300 melt. Had the whole peninsula of t h e T rm .,,t,, ro 1 9, 11 en, it must have involved the surreedet• of a much larger garrison : St. Joseph and 14 n t o zosda must, if we have rightly con anted the, French telegraph, be still attacked by regular eoproschns. Grant that they are carried —what then, has been effected towards a success ful siege of, Cadiz itself ? Nothing whatever, if the - Cartes, the Governor,. and the troops are stanch---literally nothing will have been gained by capturing every foot of ground, which bears the name of " Trocndero," except the possibility. or throning a stray shell into Cadiz, which may burst upon Ferdinand's head. in the mean time the stormy ,season approaches, the French men of war are blown. away, and the blockade Of the Constitutional garrisou becomes an equal farce with the proposed bernbardment. . ImoaNtNo. cuitotocLE.] The Paris Papers announce the capture of the Trocadern by, as atllt on the 31st ult. The AC, count of chi:: event was transmitted to the French capital by telegraph, consequently the details are e,xtremely scanty, yet care has been taken to put in the los.; of the Spaniards, which could not interest ti n ' gcod people of Paris so much as their.owtiond, his ,omission warrants the con clu,ion that Ihk part of the dispatch was sup pressed after the receipt, the Ministers not. daring to nhlkh that ti stint I • **important point had cast (.!iprotopli number of lives, for re.

This position gives thent !the partial command of the intervening, hatorlti l , yet removes... . them further from La Isla, and does not bring them nearer Cadiz than Within, five .miles, -the bay being still between them. ' , This very same point, during the last war, was taken by the French, not as a basis of any ulterior operations, as a small point from which they might annoy us, and affording a kind of partial occupation to an idle army. Even to answer this purpose, they were obliged to send to Seville and east the large mortar in St. James's Park, with the correspond ing shells—an operation that took up several months, and after all, they were only enabled to ruin a few private houses, without in the least in timidating the governor or the army, or causing any other material injury. riIORNING HERALD.] It will be seen by the extracts from the French papers, „received yesterday evening, that the French have been more suscessful in their opera tions before Cadiz than the friends of Spanish independence had anticipated. The Trocadero, which is represented as a strong outwork on the way leading to that city, was taken on the 31st ult. with a loss on the part 'of the Spaniards of 150 men killed, '250, wounded, and 900 pri soners ; together with 57 pieces of cannon. The dispatch, however, does not say a word of the loss sustained by the French.—We are sadly afraid that the Spaniards are greater talkers than doers ; but we must patiently wait to see whether the winter of this year will do as much for that " heroic" people and nation, as the winter of 1811 did for the Russians, under nearly similar cir cumstances of unjust aggressions on the part of the French. [MORNING POST.] LL French Papers to the 9th inst. arrived last night, by express, and we regret to state, brought intelligence of the fall of the Trocadero. As the news was conveyed to Paris through the me dium of the telegraph, it is accompanied with .very few details. At three quarters past two in the afternoon of the 31st ult., we are told the Trocadero was carried with the greatest vigour, in sight of the Duke of Augouleme, the Spa niards losing about 150 killed, 250 wounded, 900 prisoners, and fifty pieces of cannon.— No estimate is given of the loss of the French themselves ; but as that of the assailants in killed and wounded at the storming of a place is generally considered to be at least four times as great as that of the Defenders, who fight behind the protection of walls (provided the lat ter display ordinary courage and resolution), it may be fairly calculated that the enemy must have had about 600 killed and 1000 wounded. That such a number will be. owned by the Go vernment, we do not entertain the least expec tation. We shall be told, probably, that French ardour carried every thing before it with such rapidity, that it left no time for the Con stitutionalists to kill the soldiers of a Bour bon. .But assurances„ of this L: , kind will. con vince no one, unless they: should be accompa nied. by proofs that the Spaniards... did not await the attack, or ran away at firstdischarge, , -- This however, cannot:_noWbe asserted.; for the number of their killed and7:4ounded, demon atrates that they,must have. made an.obstinate:-re sistance.• French ardour could not come into play, however fiercely it might burn, until after the troops had crossed the wide trench filled with the waters of the sea, by which the Con stitutionalists had isolated : the Trocadero from the Continent. Neither could the storming commence till a- practicable breach had been effected in the ramparts of that fortress. -Those operations must have occupied a considerable time, and during them the loss must have. fallen almost exclusively on the enemy. N'Ve are con vinced, therefore, that if the truth were to be of ficially pulashed, our estimate would be found accurate. It is confirmed, indeed, by the state meets of private letters, none of which represents the French loss to have been less than 1,500 men, whilst. most of them rate it as high as 2,000 : and the belief that'it had far exceeded in magni tude the value of the object for which it had been incurred, was so prevalent in Paris on Monday, that the effect of this victory on the Funds was that of a defeat,and they sunk instead of rising. [BRITISH PRESS.] The latest accounts from the Grecian Archi pelago, slate that the gallant ChriStians were occupied in planning a most bold and daring ex pedition against their ruthless enemies, which would remove the seat of war in a great measure from Greece, and transfer it to the rich shores of Asia. Minor. Their plan is said to be, to carry the war into Natolia, a province and the western part of Asiatic Turkey—to attack and plunder Smyrna, and make it for the future their headquarters. .They haVe collected, it is aid, with this intent, 12,000 chosen troops and warriors, among the different islands of be Archipelago. The embarkation and sailing of the e xpedition had, it is stated, already taken place, and the intelli gence of its operations was looked for with the greatest anxiety. The Greek. Admiralty bad the strongest hopes of success, as the Capitan Paella was engaged in the lonian sea, and on the coasts of the Isle of Gandhi, where all was placed in a state of defence, and wonld therefore mock his worst endeavours. The Porte, it appears, was apprised of the intentions of the Greeks, and had sent Ibrahim Paella into Natolia, at the head of some thousands of its beat troops. The success of the Greeks will depend, in a great degree, on the co-opertition of their brethren on the Asiatic shore ; if they join them, both.united moat overpower the Crescent; if not, the under taking will he too hazardous for the adventurers from the: Islands. They; may plunder Smyrna, but cannot retain permanent possession .of that city-,or the surrounding country. Smyrna is one of the richest cities of the Levant; it is inhabited by merchants from every part of the world, and the depot of their varied mercha disc. The population is about a hundred and fifty thOusand, of all persuasions. The Ottomans have nineteen mosques, the fireekS three churches the Jews six synagogues, the 'Armenians one church, and the Latins three - convents. It •,hatt no fortificatiOns of any strength or ImportaUce, and lies' at the head of a large bay,1430 miles South. west of Constantinople. This is a bold and des perate enterprize of the Greeks, but they are in creasing every day in strength and determination. The Turks cannot now conquer them ; on the contrary, they will ;et drag the Crescent down, and trample the power of the Ottoman in the dust. [N Env TI m Es.] We have at length received the important in telligence of the attack on the Trocadero. It has been made, and has been attended, as we fully expected it would be, with complete suc cess. By a dispatch, dated at the head-quarters at Port St. Mary on the 31st ult. and trans mitted from Bayonne by Telegraph, we learn that on that day the Trocadero was carried by assault, the Revolutionists losing thirteen hundred men, and 50 pieces of cannon !—ln order to com prebend fully the nature of these operations, a general description of the place may be proper. The Spanish coast from the mouth of the Santi Petri river runs North-West to Cadiz about 12 English miles. Cadiz forms one point of the opening of the Bay of Cadiz, and Rota, about seven miles further to the N.W., forms the other. The Bay is also about seven miles deep, and at the bottom of it, N. E. of Cadiz, is Port St. Mary, situated at the mouth of the Guadalete river. The South-east side of the Bay is formed by a Peninsula called the Trocadero, which separates it from the inner bay, or har bour, leaving a narrow passage for the sea be tween the S.W . extremity of the Trocadero and the land on the Cadiz side. At the bottom, or N. E. part of the inner bay, stands Puerto Real, about six miles S.E. of St. Mary ; and the S.E. side of this bay is formed by the Peninsula called the Isle of Leon, the shape of which is a sort of irregular triangle, bounded by the inner Bay, the river Santi Petri, and the sea, but connected, at its N.W. angle, with Cadiz by a narrow sandy neck of land, about four or five miles in length, at the extremity of which the City is built. The entrance to the inner harbour was formerly commanded by the Castle of Matagora on the Trocadero side, and by that of Puntales on the Cadiz side, only 1330 yards asunder ; but the former is now in ruins. How ever, the Trocadero itself had been insulated by a cut across its E. extremity-, which was strongly fortified, under the direction of Valdez, the Governor of Cadiz. During the former siege of Cadiz, the possession of the Trocadero could not enable the French to bombard Cadiz ; because they were still out of shot of its walls, and had not the command of the sea. Now, the occupation of the Trocadero gives them the entire command of the outer bay, they can cannonade or bombard Cadiz in. any direction,. and may- cover their , landing at any point .they think fit by, their 'ships, bomb vessels, and gun• boats. The , importance.!. which Valdez .and his party ascribed , to the posiession . •of the 'Tr°. cutler°, is evident.from the. great care + they had taken,.,- to _fortify - : .and. _from_ their ,having mounted. no ,less.Abatt , .pieces of cannon 'in the i,lines intended for- its defence-all which CBllllOll they hav&'now lost ! The most- , deter* mined Republicans too were selectedAo.maintaln this important .post.„ , A regiment ; which had evinced some symptoms ot:lariity Temoved; and the most ,furious exultudos ,among The Militia were sent to supply their place ; and of these choice troops, no less than thirteen hundred have been put hors - de combat!, reckoning kill ed, wounded, and prisoners.—This news, we should think, will be fatal to the Spanish Boieds. How any man could for a moment be the dupe of the last clumsy method of tricking John Bull out of his money, we cannot conceive. ; and Admiral Jabat was singularly unfortunate in choosing yesterday for the announcement of his coalition with the schemers. The. Admiral says he has very weighty reasons for no longer .oppos ing the issuing of new Bonds. No doubt be has. ,The fractional sums paid in cash on the exchange of Bills for Certificates may form not a despicable fund for those poor Spaniards whose official sa laries have . been so long in arrear, and whose case the Admiral doubtless cotupassionates very deeply. MEXICO AND SPAlN.—According to Mexican Goalies to the 27thJane„quoted in a New. York paper of the 9th ult., a treaty between Spain and Mexico was in some forwardness. The re presentatives of the Mexican Government, and the Commissioners from, Spain sent out 'to treat with them, held a preliminary meeting at Vera Cruz on the 28th of May, at which they pro duced 'their respective commissions, and agreed that their future meetings should be held at Xalapa. They accordingly assembled in that citron the 12th of June, when the Spanish Commissioners read - 'a long letter in which the disposition of Spain towards Mexico was fully explained, and a copy was ordered to be sent to the Go vernment at - Mexico. fn the Sitting of the 14th, D. Guadalupe Victoria called on the Spanish Comthissioners to declare expliCitly th'e views of the Spani4t Government on the re cognitiow of the independence of Mexico, in order that a definite reply might put an end to the idle reports among the common people of the sinister views of Sp a i n . 'The Spanish Commis blotters replied that they could give no stronger proof of the diSposition of their Government to recognize their independence, than the fact that they .had offered them suitable conditions and guarantees, and had clothed their corn- Inissioneri with t h e neces sary authority to act on • the subj ec t.

'..' ABERDEEN. The festivities tit Aberdeen commenced on Sa turday in a style of splendour never surpassed, and probably sehlom equalled in any part of the United Kingdom. In the evening, after :the amusement on the course, a, most superb banquet was given by the gentlemen of Aberdeen, Kincardine, Banff, and Forfar Racing Society, to the members of the Royal Caledonian Hunt. One hundred and fifty Noblemen and Gentlemen sat down to table, Lord Saltoun in the chair, and Colonel the Honourable John Ramsey, croupier. Although the company was so numerous, yet the dinner was served with as much precision, and the viands were in as a high a style of perfection, as they could have been at a snug private party of Lon 4vants. The room was most brilliantly lighted, and the exhilarating effect produced by the North and South, thus mingled in conviviality at the social and festive board, was delightful. The public rooms are of' chaste Grecian architecture, both as to the exterior building and the interior decorations. The saloon, in which the banquet was held, is 70 feet long by 3.5 feet broad, and 35 feet high. This apartment is intended also to serve as a aupper-room during the race week. A room of still larger dimensions is fitted up and beautifully decorated for dancing. In these elegant apartments the profusion of crystal and bronze, for the purpose of lighting them up, would do credit to princely preparation, and proves that no expense has been spared in rendering them as magnificent as possible. On Tuesday about 400 noblemen and gentlemen dined at the ordinary, Lord Arbuthnot in the chair. After a sumptuous dinner, his Lordship presented to Colonel the Honourable John Ramsay, a piece of plate of 300 guineas value, voted to him by the noblemen of the meeting, and another piece of plate of the same value, given by the ladies of the meeting. In pre senting these splendid marks of esteem and respect to the gallant Colonel, his Lordship said, " In proposing the toast which I am about to give, I am conscious how necessary it is that I should claim the indulgence of those whom I have the honour of addressing ; but more par ticularly of the members of the United Meeting, being assured that I am perfectly unable to convey in adequate terms their sentiments towards the object of it. Indeed any encomium which I am able to bestow on our excellent friend, the Secretary of this meeting, would be unnecessary, and I may say, might on my part approach to something like presumption. His con duct towards us on every occasion is beyond all praise.. His urbanity of manners, his polite attention, and kindness of heart, have been extended in an eminent degree to all of us ; his zeal and exertions in promoting our pleasure and happiness at these meetings have been unbounded. It is with sincere pleasure that I have endeavoured to express, however inadiquately to his merits, feelings which are so deeply impressed in our minds. We have anxiously sought a favourableopportunity of offering for his acceptance sonic tribute of our respect and re gard. The ladies of the meeting have ordered a tea service of plate ; and the gentlemen an ornament for the centre of a table, which, by their request, I beg leave to present to Colonel Ramsay, in testimony of our esteem and friendship. I am most sensible how imperfectly I have expressed the sentiments of any individual connected with the United Meeting on this occasion, but it is some satisfaction to me to think, that what has been said is spoken in sincerity, and that nothing can be ascribed to the partiality of a friend. Colonel RastsaY, who seemed much affected by the high and distinguished honour conferred on him in being thus pre sented with such flattering testimonials of the esteem in which he is held by those whose good opinion is a proud distinction, mado the following reply:— " My Lord, it falls to the lot of many to receive marks of ap probation for dilTered causes, but seldom indeed does it occur to any to receive two such, however unmerited on my part, as those which your Lordship has now conferred upon me. " 4 is impossible for me to express the obligations I now and rilitst ever feel myself under to those Gentlemen who have Arnie me the 'nions of presenting me with so magnificent a piece of plate. which can be attributed solely and entirely to their personal friendship. To those fair Ladies who have done thelionour; in a similar manner, of expressing their good wishes towards me, I must ever feel myself mast grateful ; and. I teust.l heed not assure.them that I accept their most bountiful niitrk of friendship * not only with feelings of the utmost- respect and gratitude, but with feelings of the most heartfelt pleasure... it 'IT 'lmpassible that any one I,vh9 hears me can suppose for, one moment that two such unpreeedented markri of friendship are at all me rited bar any exertions , ' on my part, by having in 'the smallest degree forwarded the .objects , of this Society ; on the contrary, while this united meeting receives the patronage and attendance of so many of the most distinguished of the fair of the four counties, supported by the liberality and kind at tention of those Noblemen and Gentlemen, who, on all occa sions, five it their best wishes, it cannot fail not only to meet the most sanguine expectations of all in this part of the country, but give us a claim with the other great meetings in Scotland, and have the pleasure of an occasional visit from our friends in the Caledonian Hunt ; also, the satisfaction of seeing at a future period many of the distinguished visitors from both sides of the Tweed, who have honoured us with their company this week, and it' ever it is at any time in my power to contribute to its welfare, the proceedings of this day shall be an additional reason for calling forth every exertion on my part. To you, my Lord, I beg to return my most sincere thanks for the very kind manner in which you communicated the wishes of the donors of these pieces of plate. Believe me, I shall not easily forget the most flattering manner this numerous and most respectable company did inc the honour of receiving the toast which the noble Chairman did me the honour of propos ing. I beg to wish you, from the bottom of my heart, all health anti happiness to enjoy not only the pleasures of this week, hut of many others of the same kind, bath under this roof and elsewhere, and have the honour of drinking all your good healths." This speech was received with great applause.—The evening was spent in the greatest harmony and conviviality, and the company did not break up till a late hour. The assemblage of nobility and gentry attending the meeting far exceeds what was ever witnessed on a like occasion. On Thursday morning, the gentlemen of the meeting gave,a public breakfast in the public rooms to 330 ladies and gentle men. After breakfast, which consisted of every delicacy of the season, the company proceeded to the hall, when the child ren belonging to that excellent Institution the Deaf and Dumb Society, walked in procession through the ball, and a subscrip tion was made for them, to which all the company contribut-, ed.-=( Edinburgh Courant, Sept. 6.) ST. FILLAN'S HIGHLAND SOCIETY. This Society had its annual exhibition at the beautiful village of St. Fillan's, on the 28th •ult., and excited a great interest in the 'West Highlands. The several, roads leading to this village presented a most enlivening scene, as their hardy tartan-clad sons and dark-eyed damsel; filled:the winding tracts of the mountains round Lochearn. As soon as day began to peep, the popnlation sallied forth from every quarter, and notwithstanding the forbidding aspect of the morn ing, all seemed ardently bent on beholding the chieftains of their lands,and resolved to devote the day to festivity. Lree in themorn ing appeared the chiefs in their carriages, gentlemen in thei r phis tons, gigs, &c. all, in short, that could command conveyances., of any description, were seen rolling along and making the glens echo with unwonted sounds. At St. Fillan's the eye was delighted with the diversified appearance of the face of the ad. joining hill. The groups of Iliglantlers, in their various tar tans, intermixed with the more sombre drapery of the Southern visitors, had a novel and picturesque effect. Below were seated the judges, encircled by rows of Highlanders keeping the ground, and directly in front of the platform, erected for the competitors, v'ere seated the ladies of rank, in a tem porary shade, set out with evergreens in a tasteful man ner. About twelve, the comp ?tition for pibrochs commenced ; the candidates were numerous, and in general gave satisfac tion: Then followed the dancing of !Eland reels ; after which came the ancient dance across swords, which was elegantly performed by two Highlanders, and two young boys, who re. ceived great applause from the jUdges. The later seemed highly gratified with the precision displayed by the various candidates. The throwing of a cannon b a ll in the manner of the pucting stone came next, and wad keenly contested by three Highlanders, remarkable for their strength and elegant ap pearance: The longest cast was between 29 and 30 feet-- Gaelic songs followed ; but unfortunately the rain, which had i long threatened to disturb the festivity of the day, now de. scended in torrents, and with such noise as entirely to drown the voice of the singers. Thin had the effect of driving off most of the auditors, who had previously borne showers with much patience. The Ladies and Gentlemen of rank partook of a colletion prepared for them In the shade, but the rain con tinuing, the general company were constrained to separate. And thus ended the meeting, anxiously enticipated t knd which was really, it is belieiM, the rivet numerous, elegant, and fashionable ever witnessed on the banki of Locliearn.

EDWIN the Great of Northumbria, whose effigies are still preserved on one of the gates of York, the capital of his kingdom, was one of the seven Princes who are specified in the Chronicle as having enjoyed, at dif ferent periods previous to the time of le,gbert (falsely as serted by our popular historians to have been the first Kipg of all England) the same degree of ascendancy over the Hep tarchy, &c. as was enjoyed during his life by that West Saxon King. He is also the first of our Saxon Kings who stands recorded for his successful attention to the civilizing arts of good government, and the strict execution of justice, throughout the island. The Chronicle thus briefly relates the attempt to assassinate him :—" A. D, 621 i. This year came Earner from ('wichelme, King of the West Saxons, with a de sign to assassinate King Edwin; but he killed Lilian his Thane, and Forthere, and wounded the King." But the venerable Bede, in the second book of his Ecclesiastical History, adds some other interesting particulars, anti informs us that Lilla the Minister and devoted favourite of ICing Edwin voluntarily interposed his own body between the bosom of his master and the uplifted dagger of the assassin, which was driven with such force that it passed quite through the interposing body . and wounded the King. The Chronicle thus proceeds : " The same night a daughter was born to Edwin, whose name was Eanfieda. Then promised the King to Paulinus that he would devote his daughter to Gon, if he would procure at the hand of (.iron, that he might destroy his enemy who had sent the assassin to him. He then advanced against the West Saxons with an army, felled on the spot five Kings, and slew many of their men. This year Eanfletia, the daughter of King Edwin, was baptized on the holy eve of Pentecost. And . the . King, within twelve Months was baptized at Easter, with all his people. Easter wasthen on the lath of April. This was: done at Y ork, where he had ordered a church to be built of timber, which was bellowed in the name of St. Peter. There the Kirtg gavg the Bishopric to Paulinus, and there he afterwards order • ed a larger church to be built of stone." General D'EvEnEux has been appointed Am bassador to the Northern Courts of Europe by the Columbian Government. —( Irish Paper.) MEVEOROLOGICAL JOURNAL. BY R. 13ANCKS PHILOSOPHICAL INsTRUNIPNT MAKPR.
