STATE OF CADIZ. The following letter, which appears in the Hampshire Telegraph, contains the latest intelli gence from Cadiz, with the exception of that de rived through the suspicious medium of the French Papers, and will he useful in correcting some,of the misrepresentations which have arisen in that quarter : " CAMIZ, AUG. 28.—The French have committed great blunders since their arrival in this neighbourhood : they should have pushed on directly, and have drawn as strong a chain of posts round the coast of Cadiz and the Isle of Leon, as the no. merical state of their troops ,would have allowed. But by ne glecting this, a constant influx `of provisions came into the city, and all who could muster a feat dollars or doubloons provided accordingly. The blockade, also, was.so lax, that coasting ves sels arrived in great numbers. Our most pressing want is water: of this, however, we are not totally bereft; we have plenty of an inferior quality. A great fuss was made at the French head-quarters, on the arrival of the Generalissimo, because Admiral Hamelin had allowed the blockade to be broken by the Tribune frigate; in fact, they did not attempt to keep up a rigid blockade. That frigate worked up to Cadiz harbour, and made seven tacks, with the wind blowing •ftesh the whole time. The French ships were close in, and consequently to windward. She brought only a mail,whiels she took out of the packet from Falmouth, which had been pievionsly refused ad mittance. She was boUnd to San Lucar, to meet Sir William A'Court, but was determined to try if a neutral -man-of-war would be refused admittance—a stretch of power which even the English nation never exercised• in their various and numerous blockades. The displeasure of the French appears to have been created by some compliments which were paid after the Tribune arrived here. The King expressed a wish to see Capt. Guion, who accordingly went ashore, having previously salut ed the garrison ; and when be came into the King's presence, the Tribune (by signal) fired another salute. On her going out of the port, .the Guerriere, French frigate, slipped, and stood after her, inquiring if the King of Spain was on board. A ne gative reply being given, Capt. Onion was then requested to honour the French Admiral with a visit, or allow the Capt., of the Guerriere to go on board the Tribune; both of which re quests Captain Guion expressed his inability to comply with, as he was bound to attend his Ambassador at Sein Lucar. This is the true .statement of the affair ; but the French being disap. pointed at the little success they have met with, they are now disposed• to cavil at every thing. From the want of vigilant blockade on . the land side, Diego has been allowed to escape, and has collected a considerable force at Malaga. So deter mined is that able chief (Riego), that hilias i taken an, lin- Incase quantity of church plate, which ha..be,en melted, down, and the troops paid therewith. He has alto levied immense contributions on the merchants of Malaga ; and on account of some murmuring, 14 of the monied Spaniards were shot. The British merchants being included in the levy; on a remonstrance from the Captain of tile Sappho 81°4 of warlwhich was sent there for the protection of their interests), Riego answered, that he knew not the niceties of politics, but he knew that all who had money under him must pay for the protection which he and his army afforded them ; but that the foreigners might go away if they thought proper, and three of them (111essri. Mash and Patterson, and Mr. Leach, an American merchant) went to Gibraltar in the sloop of war. Subsequently, we un derstand here, some of the remainder were thrown into prison. The whole French force in Andalusia does not exceed 20,000 men, though the Duke of Angoulethe boasts in orders that he has 38,000 men in arms in front of Cadiz. Party is certainly divided here; though I think they are connected enough to re sist any attempt that the invaders can make against them for two months to come. The natural course of the elements will then be our greatest strength i • contagion will prevail with the troops, and the equinoctial and wintry gales will drive away the fleet, or drive the ashore." DESCRIPTION OF CADIZ AND ITS ENVIRONS. The western coast of Andalusia is of a semi circnlar form, the southern point of which ter minates in an isthmus, that extends about six leagues to the westward, at the extremity of which is the city of Cadiz. The - bay between the coast and this isthmus forms one of the finest gulfs in Europe, which at the broadest - part re senibles the' I..tike of Geneva between. Nioll.aird Thonon., If you imagine yourself onboard a vessel entering the bay, on your left is the fortress of La Rota; and on the'right that of San. Sebastian. On one side you behold the shores lined with betteries, on the other the ramparts- of, Cadiz. Opposite, and beyend the fort Santa Catalina (Saint Catherine,) is seen the great white mass of houses ut Cadiz, with their flat roofs and the church towers, which seem to rise out of the sca. You then enter the second division of the bay: At the head and in the distance you perceive the entrance into-the third part, can: ed Puntalenbaya, which is defended on the left by the fort of Matagorda, anti that on the right by that of San Lorenzo. Having said thus much, it. is unnecessary to add that Cadiz is surrounded bw the sea to:the southward, the - weetwarde and the castward....The southern and eastern parts are 300. feet above the level of the sea, and the western scarcely' fifty. There theramperts are high and built.upon the rock:,4, forming the ex. ternal boundary of the town, though under these ramparts is a second. quay, .very broad.and ditidedinto two branches, which has been partly gained from the sea. The-city of Cadiz occupies a promontory at the extremity of a peninsuly, and is join ed to the Isle of Leon only by a cause. say.' It is washed to the eastward by the gentle waves' of a well -protected; road, but to the westward it is open, and exposed to the fury of the ocean. This situation gives Cadiz. the advantages of an excellent air and a temperature not otherwise to be expected in so southern a latitude: The seauir, which itt once refreshens the body and strengthens , the nerves, moderates the heat in summer, and makes , the witers, which' are always very titild,•resernbl e spring. Howeyer hot the weather may be in.surnmir from ten till one. the afternoons are geneially cool, for the *Oa breeze (Uinta) in- creases :every hour, and blows throughout. the night. Thue Cadiz enjoys in summer the most happy temperature, while the heat is 'quite oppressive at Madrid, .and in general throughout the inland darts. But it. must be observed, that it becomes more intense het* whenever thelitalanb, southeast wind, prevails. . . This wind is pregnant. with the itoet'eofflicating' vapours, and comes from the opposite -coast of A fries. The whole at, mosphere, without exaggeration;: them seems on fire, and the air every instant becomes more burning hot, like that of an oven : and yet this wind is only felt 'by its effects, for during the most oppressive soleno the air is perfectly calm, and seems to have totally lost its elasticity. - The atmosphere is at these - times filled with an alrnest im. p eece ptiblecapour,, but which gives t( ) the sky a bluish chalky . colour, and which even at noon envelopes the sun in a kind of hire, making it appeal' large, by retracting its' rays. The lea, ''ton, i s as ca lm and smooth as Make, the water , inconceivablt warm, and frequently the fish appear on thesurface, and seem expiring with heat. On shore most animals arc not exempt from Strati. - . Birds fly in a 'low region of theule dogs hide ab ernae lec.s,cats seem in•a . rage, anules artruneasy . arld gasp for' breath, Towle are restless, and run to fr6, - and pies rote them selves in the earth. Martalone seems to suffer Tots : yet the solano is more or less felt, according to the dirigence of consti tutions. It almost always produce; a violent tension of the nerves, renders the circulation of the blood slower, and excites to excess and to voluptuousness. Although the extent of Cadiz is very limited, yet a prodigi ous quantity of houses are heaped together there, and the po pulation is very numerous ; being reckoned between 70 and. 80,000. The houses being high and very much crowded to gether, seem to justify this computation ; but the same cause accounts for the small number of fine edifices. If we except the churches, the monasteries, the great hospital, the custom house-,.and other public buildings, Cadiz, notwithstanding its great riches, contains but a very small number of remarkable houses. The greater part are of stone from Puerto de Santa Maria, which is brought across the bay at a small expence. The houses being prodigiously hig h, the streets, which are narrow, necessarily appear very dark, and make a very singu. lar impression when-we raise our eyes and see buch a multi tude of balconies and so small a portion of sky. The streets however are extremely , well 4hteol at night. The pavement, which is excellent, is cornpos , of , ver3r small stones, furnished with causeways on each 'side; and kept nearly as clean as In Holland. Cadiz, however, contains some line streets, among others that called Calle-ancha or Broad -street, and has besides three large and two small squalts. , • As to the style of architecture, the climate seems to have irrevocably fixed that introduced every where by the Moors; flat roofs with small towers and plots of flowers, well-paved square courts (patios), which, by their neatness and ornaments, resemble drawing:rooms, galleries that run round it on each floor, large rooms, small windcws, and walls carefully witened; fill which is the character of African architecture.- The streets are narrow, yet well paved and clean. The most beautiful part of the city look.; towards the Puerto de Santa Maria, where the houses are lofty, built of white free-stone, and ornamented with painted balconies. They have in front a wide parade, well gravelled, planted with trees, and communicating with.the sea-road, where the merchantmen and ships of war find shelter. Two considerable squares, one for the market,. the other call ed Plaza de San Antonio, with the Calla.ancha joining to it by way of mall, contrib u t e both to beauty and to health ; and the whole city being nearly surrounded by a rampart, this forms an elevated, airy, and delightful walk, much frequented in the evenings. _ _ _ Theinost advantageous view of Catlz and its environs may be had from the signal tower; from whence you look immedi ately down upon the houses, whose fiat roofs, covered with a e'hite cement, have a singular yet most pleasing appearance. To•the westward you command the ocean, with numerous ves sels, some stretching away, others entering the harbour ; and on tine land side your discover the four interesting sea-port towns of Rota, Santa Maria, Port-Royal, and Caraca, with the Isle of Leon and the connecting causeway, whilst a rich country, hanging towards the setting sun, bounds the distant prospect. The environs of Cadiz on the north side, or that next the land, ptesen,t the traveller with a view equally singular and grand. During the last league, as he arrives, he is between the bay on the right and the ocean on the left. Theland rises ten fathoms above the level of the sea, and is on all sides lashed by its waves, so that it resembles a dike, with which some bold adventurer has divided the waters of the sea. You will reality conceive lam speaking of the narrowest part of the isthmus, Cadiz being situated on the broadest. From this spot the eye takei in the:whole bay, with all its sinuosities and divisions, and commands a forest of masts, which continues from Caraca to Cadiz, • while in front is the brilliant mass that forms the town, with its ramparts and towers. On the left the view extends over the vast ex panse of ocean, in which the. fort of San Sebastian appears to float, because it is built ion a small sandy strip of land, connected with the isthmus, but at high water inundated by the sea. At length the road somewhat departs from the sea in pro portion as it widens ; but it is completely desert till a little before entering Cadiz, where is a pretty row of houses, a smell church, and to the right and left square gardens adorned with green pallisades. You.then pass the gate and see at the cx. tremity of the baatio'n's of the fort, on the right of the hay, and and on the the tunmittiotitocenn ; in a few minutes your are in Cadiz. Here you behold a broad open space, and somewhat elegant buildings, which render this road tolerably agreeable ; and that which leads upon the ramparts would banish the re membrance of this pleasure, were it not renewed by entering on the Plata de la Mar. The appearance of this opening and,,the various groups that fill it produce indeed a very fine•efreet. It exhibits a greet many little booths or-stalls, where are sold fowls that are brough _every week from Africa ; a number of' tables with all kinds of fish, among which are often sword-tish (pescado de espada) and a great*inety of shell-fish •:and polyps; sellers; of lemonade and orgeate whose shops are adorned with foliage and lemons, or little fuuritains playing; Water-sellers with their wheel-bar rows, and ice-sellers with their ice-tubs ; a long row of fruit shops, where grapes, Water-lemons, seville-oranges, and pome granates, figs, sw.eat oranges, and all kinds of truit, are piled up ; sellers of 'grasshoppere, • which are shut up in brass-wire cages, to enliven the bed-rooms of those who are fondof them, especially the ladies ; Turks, barefoet, widelarge pantaloons, black beards ' and long pip es , s i t ti ng d own and eating dates tables covered with imagers of saints and sailors' caps, small ,cook - shops , and wine -sellers' booths covered with sail-cloth.— To these peculiarities of Cadi:eadd a hide of the tumult of Madrid, and you will have a complete idea of the Plaza de la Mar. • .1 . The quay immediately without the gate prevents an equally animated prospect ; for th ere a mu l t i tu d e of fruiterers, water. .selters, wine-sellers, cooks, itinerant hardwareinen; and ballad. singers, constantly assemble. Here you see sailors seated round a eugof wine, playing at car d s , anot he r . troop are dancing, a third boxing, and father on fiddlers intermingled with porters; §orne boats now arriving, a cry ie heard of " Al Puerto 1 Al Puerto 1" Every one crowds to the stairs, all is an motion, and every thing adds to the tumult. Imagine also the effect of several hundred merchant Alps lying a t. anchor off' the town, the mined multitude of sailors from all nations, the noise of men l ea di ng an d unloading ships : ail this,' I eay,'l must. leave to your imeginerion, for it would be impossible to give you an idea of this scene, 'which is embellished by the view of a fleet in the di et/wee . The ramparts of Cadiz, which are the finest and broadest I have teen, are used as a proinenade. On the west side they 'commend a view of the 'l)q., the opposite coast and the quay below the ramparts, where, whenthe sea is rough, and wevei fly up to a considerable distance. On the south and east sides is the immense expanse of Ocean: A small part to the west viOd is bordered by five rows of ehnis, forming four avenues adorned with elegant seats, and constituting the Alameda; but the tree* are small and stunted in consequence of the dryneas and •rocki ness of the soil, Ihe sea air, tied the beet of the climate. Bow s ever, this promenade iii much - fresprented, especially at e ight .— The cool sea-breeze, the multitittle of charming. women, the lights' in the neighbouringhouses,4lie instruments and gay airs heard on all sides, the'serenceand starry heavens, widen in this fine climate display themselves in all their magnificenee, all these charms fascinate the spectator, .and make him pass his evenings very pleasantly. A great part of the ramparts, to t“e southward are shaded, serve for the lOwer elaseee to take their si esta .. Extend ed upon benchei or upon the wens, which the wate r:carr i ers, ' porters, s,pldiers, and sailors, quietly resign _themselves to sleep, and, half-naked; enjoy the luxurY of the sen-bretze. 'I should call these ramparts (including the - Alameda) the • only promenade at Cadiz, if the environs on t h e land s i de did not afford a very pl eas ing variety. It is true the soil is ea sandy that it is not easy to walk there.; but the pure and re f res hi ng sea'eir, and the abovementioned view of the bay and of the sea, attract thither a greet number of people of both sexes and of all conditions. • The thus; indispensable necesreery_Of life is wanting, I tnean fresh water, which is brought frothPu ` , rto . sivun: where hundred* of barrels are continually loading ee e .u e_i onde ing.

BRAZIL. We have received Brazil Papers to the 22d - of July. Two supplements to the Dinro do Governo contain some articles relative to the military and naval operations at Bahia, and the political .changes at Ri o J ane i ro. - A suppl ement , d ate d the ,igth, contains a dis patch from the port-captain of Rio de Janeiro, Joaquin) Jose Pires, giVing an occount of the ar rival of a vessel called the St. Jose Triunfante, which left Baliia with General Madeira, and was captured on the 6th by the Nitherohy frigate in lat. 11. 45. south. A letter from the captain of the Nitherohy is referred to, - which states that he parted from Lord Cochrane .oil the 3d, in a storm which dispersed the Portuguese. fleet. • Orr the 4th the Maria •da Gloria captured several vessels, and among them the Promptidito brig of 'twat.. On the 6th, the Carolina took two ships with troops on hoard. The other Portuguese vessels with the Don John VI. were then about 40 miles a-head of the Nitherohy, which intended to follow them to Lisbon. Lord Cochrane was believed to -be in sight of the Don John VI. The 'Brazilian fleet had five months provisions on board, and would therefore base no occasion to return to abandon the pursuit for want of sup plies.. A . vessel had also brought news from Monte Video. The Portuguese troops there are represented to be in great distress, and anxiously expecting - aid from. Lisbon. It was the opinion of the Captain of the vessel, which made this-re port, that if a Brazilian man of war were sent to Monte Video, the troops would surrender, as the Spaniards would co-operate against them: The SupplemeW of the 21st contains official notifications of ministerial discussions and - op, pointments to which we have already alluded. A series of decrees sigited by the Emperor, and countersigned by .Caetano Pinto de Miranda Montenegro, accept the resignations of Jose Bo nifacio Andrade e Sylva, Se-cretary of State . for the Home and Foreign Department, and of Mar tin Francisco - Ribeiro de Andrade, Minister of Finance, and appoint in their stead Jose Joaquim Carneiro de Campos and Manoel Jacinto No gueira. da Game ; dismiss Joao Ignacio da Cunha, Insendant-General of Police ; and Francisco da Franca e'Miranda, Adjutant of Police, and no minate in their stead Estevao Rebeiro de Re s:tilde and Andre Alves Pereira Rebeiro e Cirne. A dispatch from Colonel Jose Joaquim de Lima e Silva, commanding the troops employed against Labia, is inserted in the same supplement. It is dated " Head-quarters, Bahia, July 6. Se cond year of independence and the empire." lie states that he took the command of " the Pacifi cating Army" on the 2d of nty, In •consequence of the deposition and arrest of General .Labatut. Ile states that the proclamations he afterwards issued had the effect of causing great desertions from the Portuguese army, and producing dissbn sion between the two parties in Bahia. On the 30th ofJune he received a message from General Madeira, asking permission to embark . trauquilly, and refers to the correspondence which took place for the propriety of his measures.. On the 9.d of July lie entered Bahia, having cm ,the morn ing of that day received information of Madeira's precipitate embarkation. Colonel Lima e Silva, after describing the rejoicings which took place on his entrance into the city, thus concludes his dispatch : " As soon as .1 received 'notice of the embarkation of the enemy's troops, I gave orders for marching. The troops were es speedy in taking up arms as they were orderly in their march and steady in occupying the positions which they took in the suburbg of the city. I directed them to enter it with their two extreme corps of -Obtervation,, which were temporarily to per form the police duty, and in the rear-guard I made my entrance with a general staff, accompanied by a strong reserve which was to furnish the city guard.. The tranquillity and order main tained by these troops Were beyond description ; and the sob, diers composing the other corps, who had obtained permission to come from their positions to the heart of the city to vrocure 'what they stood in need of, behaved in a Way that exceeded eveiy eoectation. Such was their good conduct, that quarters ,were assigned to them all on the second. day. Their tranquil deportment, and their exertions to check the least disorder, excited genersl admiration. It would. seem that Heaven hail dictated to the Brazilians the course best suited iutheir dignity, in calmly restraining the infautotts,cobduct of the Portuguese troops in this fine country. It appears that Healien has de= creed the punishment of the injustice of the, Cortes of Lisbon, for Lord Cochrane has already captured four of the enemy's ships which were assembled in this port, as .your Excellency will observe from the dispatches and returns which show the number and quality of the prisoners. Excellent Senhor—Since I have been. fortunate enough to complete the liberation of Bahia, by which it appears to me the independence of this empire is sealed, I beg, as a remuneration for my services, that his Majesty the Erhperor will relieve me from the command with which I am invesed, and permit me to live in the bosom of my family, whose subsistence depends on my exertions, and I may continue to serve the State at the head of the battalion with which the Emperor has intrusted me.' I shall.be grateful during the whole of my life for this favour; to obtain which I pledge my utmost exertions: " This, excellent Senhor, is all that time now permits me to offer to your Excellency's attention for the necessary infor mation of his Majesty, whose august hind I kiss in gratitude for my country's liberation.. • _ • " Heaven preserve your ExcellencY many years.
