REAR-ADMIRAL BARON Du. p - ERRE, COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF OF 111$ MAJESTY'S NAVAL FORCE BEFORE CADIZ, BY REAR.AD 741RAL BAIION.DES HOTOURS, COMMANDING Tile BEFORE ST,PETRI. This..anorning at day-break, the wind being , east, a fresh breeze and a fine sea, I ordered the Centaur and Trident, line of battle ships, and the Guervierefrigate, ,to sail, designing to attack Fort St. earl... At seven the division was under sail, the; :Centaur leading, followed by the Trident and.Guerriere. It was my intention to pass dose , by,.the bank of rocks called Juan Bella; I therefore ordered the Iris corvette, Captain Boniface, (which yon had sent me in the night, atul'which I had retained.) to take the head of thelituyand to sound at such a distance as to be title to let me know the depth, and to tack whenever. it was less than ten fathoms. This order was well executed, and the division thus applfttiOted St. Petri. 4:At noon I was joined by the Santo Christ() sehootter, Lieutenant Frotel, whom I.' ordered to sound to windward as near as possible to the reef along the coast, and to let me know the depth. 'At a quarter past one I hoisted the * signal nit which I had agreed with our batteries that .they (night begin their fire, which was done with` exireme vigour. When I had got to the d 41014 I desired (Fort St. Petri bearing S. E.), . I 'Meted Mr. Ponee,, commanding the Centaur, te.take his position at this point, which was done with great ability, though the wind was strong, eed , the. current unfavourable. The sails being takeit in with as much order as celerity, I gave th - e signal to begin the fire, which the fort re-' turned :with the few pieces that it had on that side, IVfeentime the Trident advanced ; she was ordered to anchor Italia cable behind the Centaur, but thitwitid varying from E.S.E. to S.E. she could nOtanchor nearer than a cable's length, and be gan to fire as soon as she was moored, receiving stiti the Centaur the fire of a battery in the Isle of ,St.c,Leon, and of a battery of Sena Petri, tvhicii also fired on the Santo Christo, which . vsai 'within quarter gun shot. The Guerriere -wits going to moor behind the Trident, but I made a signal for her to take the head of the and whether it was that the wind failed, or that the currents hindered it, she could not reach kw station, and removed a cable and a half to -windward of the Centaur. In this position she begat' her fire ; but perceiving that it did not reach' the fort, and that of the Trident did not sufficiently pass it,. I sent. Lieut. Thiebaut, my : :ldeotie.cautp, to order these two vessels to return r .t . oi their stations, the Trident astern of the Centaur, aed:the Guerriere before it. It was three o'clock. nit, Centaur had been engaged since a quarter one ; Fort' St. Petri returned the fire only at lang,.intervats,. I thought the time. was come to attempt to 'storm it. I made a signal to the division to embark its troops in the boatsoind to rend- them towerds the Centaur, which was exc. clued with all possible celerity,and. I welted only for the moment when the Trident and theGuerriere shoirld have taken their position, and commenced t ite,fire, to order the land ing,when at half-past three theifort hoisted a white flag, which was imme diately saluted by a thousand cries of" Five le Rol 1" 1 immediately sent the boats, having cm board 420 of the 12th and 14th of the line, and a detachment of grenadiers of the Marine Artil lery. When they reached the foot of the rock on which the fort is situated, Captain Teliot, who commanded the landing, sent me a Spanish Officer with a flag of truce, who proposed that tlAtarrison should retire to the Isle of Leon, • an der its respective colours,and continue to serve against Ike French army. I insisted that they • nhould engage not to bear arms against France during this war. This was acceded to, and was iTgilti to be executed when the Spauictrds, fear ingto return to the isle of Leon, preferred being , prisoners, and our troops immediately took pos. desSion of the fort, where the Spaniards had 27 `l4-pounders, brass, a garrison of 180 men, abun +t'ance ammunition, and provisions for two o ft .I was too welk ftvrare of the importance of St; Petri /lot to take advantage immediately of the SUCCeSS I had Oteined• I armed one bout tram each, vessel to inflircept the barks which, vlotvrithstanding - . the vigilence of our cruisers, Prought provisions to Cadiz, entering by the slyer of this name ; I already hear the cannon . of (10 fort the on these barks.

Let us pass to considerations lesss afflicting, but perhaps of greater importance. Who has the,, right to do away with the decree of Andujar, ex t cept its author or the French Government ? But the Prince Generalissimo, so far from having revoked the decree, has confirmed it by the order of the day which the Major-General of the army published at St. Mary. No act of the French Government has announced that the ordinance of Andujar is to be considered as annulled ; it exists then still ; it is therefore obligatory on the Mar shals as well as on the Generals of the army of Spain. None of them, without violating the first and most important of military duties, can dis pense with obeying them. In what a state would he who should permit himself to take measures of opposition place himself ? No, no, a soldier grown old under the standards of Napoleon, has not exposed himself to all the consequences of the act which - tbir Drapeau Blanc attributes to him ; such an idea may have arisen in the head of a fa gnatic, but never in that of a military man. • ( From tire Courkr Fronais,) The Journal of Toulouse pubilshes_ the fol lowing details :7- 46 PERPIONAI4.—The Constitutional division landed with four liackets of cartridges a min. On the 15th it had traversed the country be tween Menge as far 'is Llado, near Figueras. Gen. Damns, notwithstanding his ill health, took active measures, Orders were given to, ` the in habitants of Gerona, and the other towns, to take arms, under pain of the severest penalties. This General had already taken a position at Llado on the 15th. Gen. Nicolase, who com manded the detached troops blocking Barcelona, arrived on the 15th at six o'clock in the evening, at Besaln. He marched a part of his frisnipo Campredon, another to Ripon, and a third to - 1 Barejoda, to cut off all retreat .from the Consti tutionalists The firing commenced in the after noon at Llado. The affair was extremely san guinary. The enemy fought with incredible fury, especially the foreign legion. The action lasted till the commencement of night. The next day they wished to continue their march to Figu eras. If they had not lost this night in taking a position, it is very probable that they would have effected an entry. A stillsharper action took place in the environs of Llers, distant 3 quarters of an hour's march from Figueras. The carnage on both sides was horrible. But at length the am munition being expended, and the Constitution alists exhausted with hunger,, Colonel Fernandez demanded a parley. A capitulation was con eluded, in which It was agreed to save the lives of the foreign prisoners who formed part of the Constitutional column. Many French officers, not expecting this clause, destroyed thernitelves,. some with razors, and others with their swOrdis and pistols. The greater part or the foreign battalion perished this affair ; almost all the superior officers ef.tha column,.Spaniardcas trail as foreigners, are killed or wounded. The gar , risen of the fort of Figueras made no sortie to assist them, nor did it make any attempt to get posiussion of the previsions of the town of Fi gueras, while the troops which formed the gar risen were with General DithlaF. it is said that the Spaniards on the 16th did not second the ef forts of the foreign soldiers, who fought with desperation." Colin!, SEPT. s,—lt is announced that the son of Colocoaoni has just married the daughter of l'eitro Beg, of Bahia, and that this marriage, by uniting these two Chiefs, who were hitherto op posed to each other, has greatly contributed to promote conciliation in the Morea. Sixteen thousand men of the best troops now occupy the Isthmus of Corinth, and defend the passage.-- The Montenegrins, as welt as the inhabitants of Agra pha and its environs, have taken arms against the Turks, and the Pacha of Scutari, who had already sustained one defeat, is surrounded on all sides. same.

(By Express.)—T4 Gazette Extraordinary contains the following The Regency received this morning by an extra. ordinary courier the agreeable news officially communicated, •that on the night of the 20th the chateau of Santi Petri surrendered to the army commanded by the Duke of Angouleme. Persons who know 'he importance of this post will duty appreciate the influen c e which the con quest of it must have in procuring for the King, and for the whole Royal Family, that liberty which is so much desired. Eternal glory to the valiant troops of the wise Louis XVIII., who in a fen days have surmounted an obstacle which the troops of Buonaparte could not effect at the end of 30 months I • At the same time we have received the follow. log letter from the Minister of War, which he received from Andujar, dated the 21st " Having received orders from, the Major-General of the Army to give up the prisoner.

Hter.)--Ecciesiasties of our city, who have con nections with tile Clergy of Rome, have received letters from that capital relative to the Conclave, and though nothing authentic has transpired, I t hi n k it we ll wor th while to communicate to you the following reports :—The Conclave, it is said, is likely to last a very long time, because opi. 'lions are divided amongst a great number of Cardinals, and no one has a predominant in fluence. Report says, that Cardinals Calve.; Curiozzi, and liertazzoli, had the most voices. Cardinal Calvachini had, on several scru.tinies, from Tcl, to 14 votes. 'fh people al., ready regard him as Pope. Redisplayed great cot- rectnessand firmness when hewn governor. The middle and lower classes remember these circum stances with pleasure, and call him the Pope ; but the Roman nobility, confessing his good qualities, say he would make a better administrator than a Pope. Among the nobility the Cardinals Sum rnaglia and Zurla are talked of. T lie former is very old, which is a recommendation with those who pay attention to the wishes and interest of foreigners ; for as there is no appearance of una nimity among the Courts of Europe on this point, the election of a very old man for Pope would only postpone to the new election, which must then shortly take place, the denouement of those intrigues which the different parties have engaged in. But there is a great number of influential families in Rome, who, contrary to the ancient maxims, wish to have a Pope in the flower of his age, and likely to reign a long time. The tem poral interest of the Roman dominions coincides in this point with the spiritual interest of the Catholic Chure:i, which has so many losses to make good. Cardinal Zurla, whose talents and virtues are exalted by the authors and orators, has all those in his favour who do not desire speedy changes.—lt is said that Cardinal Goo salvi is dangerously ill ; he has been frequently bled, and ;suffers much from•palpitations of the heart. He remains, however, in the Conclave. VIENNA, SEPT. 19.--The 14 4 :mperor set out 044 morning for Lemberg, on his way to Czernowitz, in order to have an interview with his august friend and ally, the Emperor Alexander.

The three isles of Hydra Spezzia. have been called ,on by the Central Government of Greece to re-assemble idit4it4r forces Jenjbe end of IV month of Oc tober, for the purpose oNeing_Aallyloattack the grand Ottoman fleet, under the orders of the Capi tan Pacha, who, according to all probability, will quit the roads of Patras and Missolunghi about that time, to come nearer to the Dardanelles. It appears thatall the dissensions which existed be tween the different Chiefs of the army and the Greek Government have been completely settled. The principal Generals have been admitted into the Executive Council, and Colocotroni, Odys seus, and Pietro-Bey, associate, now that their military ittrairs leave theni leisure, with Mauro cordato. The Senate or Legislative corps, which is constituted by deputies from the different pro vinces, assembles every day at Tripolitza. 1t is stated that the son of Colocotroni has married the daughter of Piecho Bey of Mania ; and that this marriage, by closely uniting these two chiefs, who have been frequently divided •before now, has contributed in' no small d egree to reconcile dispositions . in the Morea. Six thousand of the best troops at present occupy the Isthmus of Corinth, and defend the passage. The Montene grins, and also all theinhabitants of Agrapha and its environs, have taken arms.against the Turks; and the Pacha of Scutari, who has already suf fered a defeat, finds himself pressed and sur. rounded by the enemy on all sides.---(Courier Francais.)

The official report of the naval attack on Fort Santi Petri, by Rear Admiral Durcauk., was dated in the Morning Papers " September 15th," instead of September 20th. The error first occurred in the Moniteur of Tuesday, and is corrected in that journal of Wednesday, which we have received this forenoon.
