"On the - 10th of September, "at five o'cloclein the morning, the garrison of Barcelona made a general sally. Several paints of our line were attacked at once.

The population of Passage is about 1200, but at .present their numbers are augmented by the refugees from St. Sebastian. Proper measures have been taken to prevent The disease spreading. A double cordon has been established, and completely isolates Passage which is very easy, on account of its situation. All communication with it is intercepted. PARIS, SECT. 19.—The Pilate published the day before •yeiterday, and several Journals repeated yesterday, a re. ended protest of the Spanish Regency against the execu tion-L of the decree of Andujar, addressed to the Duke of -Reggio. This protest is a forgery,, and no great acuteness cf criticism was necessary ,to perceive that such an incon. gruity Ayes impossible. Some Journals have stated that a new Loan bad been pro. posed at London for the Regency. News from Madrid an . tiounces that this Loan, which is taken by Guebhard, has been confirmed to him, notwithstanding the advantageous offers made by some English houses, who, expecting to obtain .it, have announced itsprematurely on the Exchange of London. TFrotra the Quotidienne.) PAITIS, SErr. 19.—1 n spite of the efforts of the Bevan ' tiomats of France, the form of government which is suitable to Spain, and which its King, when he shall be free, will know how to establish, cannot be - a motive for discord between our SOIIIIeTM and those of the Faith, for -the legitimate government which we possess, will never imitate the example of the usurp ing powers which ' irreeeded it. It will never profit by the sue teas of its arms to impose laws on a fdreign country, the in dependence of which it respects. The Directory converted • Europe into Republics; Bonaparte overthrew them to substitute in their place kingdoms regulated by his -codes and submissive to his conscription and (Wits reunis.

SEVT. IL—The Swedish Diet continucs to con- duct' itself with firmness and prudence, and listens only to pro positions really calculated to benefit the country. The Connuitteee of the four Qrders have retecte44 almoit unanimously, the proposal to allow larger sums for the support . of the army, and for its increase. This decision gave great 1 pleasure in the country. . ()teat clutnges are about to take place in the commercial system of 'tussle, .htn they are'net to he made known till all the preparations are completed. The new Minister of Finance, if. Canorin, whose system differs very much from that of his predecessors, is very much praisedi one of his first operations . was to make an extensive change among the persons who were in the department of Foreign Commerce. The new Members are known as partisans of -free trade with other nations. The necessities 'of tire 'empire, however, will be taken into consider den in the 'changes which ate to be made in the Tariff, as well as the manufactures which may serve for home consumption. DARMSTADT, SEPt. 110—The Chambers of the 6rand Duchy are now in activity, and have begun to occupy them selves with important financial objects. Among the proposi tions presented to them by the Government is one relative to the reduction of the land -tax, the principal object of which is to benefit the agriculturists and labourers. The disadvantages of a prohibitive system for a country with its frontiers intersected by so maiiy,neighbouring', States, are now acknowledged. The customs in the interior are also to be abolished, in order to facilitate communication. Projects to promote the redemption of tithes and of feudal burthens are to be brought forward very soon. PARIS. SEPT. 19.—Aceording to all appearances, whatever may be the issueof the events at Cadiz, fanaticism will lose its cause in Spain. It is impossible, ha' tile present state of the Peninsula, not to make the concessions which are necessary to ,re-establish confidence and credit. This is the interest of • France as well as of Spain. A liberal system of administra .tion, eqoality,before the law, are the only means of restoring prosperity to the Peninsula, and are of a great deal more value than the - commiseration of the -Quothlienne. ANDJUAR 4 SEPT. 10.—A courier has arrived here from Grenada, bringing intelligence that Riego is very near the troops of Ballasteros.' He given orders at Alcala, half way between Grenada and Andujar, to be furnished with 14,000 ra tions, and 2,000 pair of shoes. The courier departed immediate ly for Cordova, where General Latour Forssac is posted, and lie was to proceea thence to port St. Mary. The enormous requisition ordered by Itiegoat Alcala can be regarded merely as a feint; Itiego can have but a.very few men with him : " we hope to receive certain intelligence respecting his force to-morrow. The Colonel, who has only his regiment (tile chaseurs of the guard) and three infantry companies of the guard here, regards this mews as very good. General Latour I.'oissae flanks Riego at Cordova, and we cut him off at An dujar. AIADRID, SEPT. 12. EXTRACT'VROM TIIE EXTRAORDINARY GAZETTE Of THIS EVENING.—(OPT'IC'AL ARTICLE.) Lieutenant-General Don Juan Caro's -Dispatch to the Mi. nlster of War, dated Malaga, the tith inst. cotOtains the follow ing passage : " .Most Excellent Sir—The 'Captain-General of the King dom of Grenada having commanded me to confer with the French General Count ',overdo, in order to execute the military movements commanded by the General in Chief Count kiloliter, I in consequence, proceeded to Ronda it Ante quera. It resulted from my interview with Count ',overdo, twit I was to occupy with the Spanish troops under my orders the line which extends from Mijas to Cartaina. " I calculated that I should thus prevent the enemy froM penetrating in the direction of Rtinda, whilst the allied troops should press him on the side of Antequera ,• but I entertain ed too favourable an opinion of his courage he fled shamefully by the way of Velez.Male . ga, leaving only four hundred men under the command of Brigadier Porras, who immediately ca pitulated on the subjoinel conditions. At the same time that the enemy effected his retreat and the evacuation of the place, he caused a convoy of 13 vessels, loaded with all the plate and other property which lie had plundered., to set sail. "At four o'clock in the afternnoon I received orders from Count ',overdo to proceed alone to Alalaga. I was there at five o'clock. Illy first act was to set afloat a brigantine and two fishing boats to pursue the convoy. The chase was so suc cessful, that out of the thirteen vessels of which the convoy was composed, ten have already fallen into our hands ; the others are hotly pursued. One of these vessels carried part of the plate, contained in 12 chests. As to the gold it appears that Riego took it with him. • The troops of Riego are warmly pursued by the four Royal corps of Pantisco, Vizcaino, Guerra, and Roa, and besides by a French Colonel. The Constitutional fugitives are likewise threatened to be taken in front and rear, as Gen. Bonnemains is coming from Almeira by the way of the coast. " 'the capture of the convoy, is due to the zeal of Don An. tonio de. Logue and Don Joseph' Roderiguez. They threw themselves on board of a chaloupe, and pursued the robbers with such success, that I have just learnt that the three vessels which escaped 'us at first are retaken as well us the others. One of these vessels is called the Riego The brave Don Antonio de Luque did not confine his exploits to these deeds ; he cap tured another vessel , on board of which the Constitutional Ge neral Francisco Abadia was endeavouring to escape, and soon after he summoned the fort of Tone Molinos. immediately Int the summons, the garrison rushed out en inasse,andlta*terteil to embrace our soldiers. The Governor, Don ,Eladio Loarte, did the same, throwing himself into the arms of the n oble Duque, all exclaiming at once Live the absolute King !' " The prisoners whom we made at Malaga and its Int/irons are still here at the disposal of the allied troops; but as these prisoners are the very essence of perversity, I wish to get rid of them as quick as possible." " It appears certain that Riego had abandoned the_troops who embarked with him at Malaga. The sight of our ships of war forced them to separate. We stated last night on the au thority of the Madrid Gazette, that Riego had returned to -Cadiz."--Note of the Editor of the Journal des Debats. BAYONNE INTELLIGENCE. BAYONNE, SEPT. 12.—We have received, by the .army•courier, the following information from Madrid of the 4th inst.:— " From the public and private conversations of the partisans of the Regency, it may be inferred that they are incensed that the Cabinet of St. James's has not thought fit to recognize their Government, and that they are not now so apprehensive as they were a month ago of the English influence in the present con test. One of the members of the Regency (M. Calderon) gave his opinion on this subject very explicitly in a Privy Council held a few days since in the Royal Palace— Let the English,' laid he, " govern their island, and not meddle with our affairs: By what right does that nation, which is neither liberal nor axis. tocratical, think to make itself a mediator, and bring about an accommodation with a faction which we have vanquished with out its assistance. It is to our efforts, and to the sacrifices of France, that we shall owe the approaching triumph of our cause; and it will, therefore, be for us to reap the fruits, and to induce the Monarch, when he is at liberty,_ to indemnify France. What, then, does England seek ? To stop our tri umphant march ? To re-plunge us Into anarchy by a false sr -rangement ? No mediation, no compromise with these wretches. Such ought to be,the principal point which should be the basis of our dispatch to the - French Prince.' " It is affirmed that this dispatch was thus forwarded to the Duke on the 25th or 2flthof last month, that is, as soon as news was received of the taking of Corunna. " The moderate French, who in general do not participate in the confidence of the Regency, with respect to the success, if not of the war, of the pacification of the country, would not be averse to the intervention of England ; but the Ultras, who daily become more numerous in the army, exalted by the ad vantages hitherto gained, and especially by the taking of the Trocadero, openly blame that power for daring to interfere in their quarrel with the Constitutionalists; they boast that they can subdue and surmount every thing ; even Gibraltar itself would not be a morsel - too hard of digestion for them. " 'rho opinion of the Liberals towards England produces the same results, though the cases are different. The more violent bitterly complain of the indifference of the Cabinet of St. James's in this war, the success of which, if we believed them, would even now depend on the least assistance, direct or in direct, from the English. They do not perceive that they have perhaps, been themselves the cause of this policy of Great Britain, by their pride and misconduct towards it. The mo derate Constitutionalists, though they do justice to the English tuition for the little it has sent, are, however, dissatisfied with the Government. " The neutral and peaceable part of the nation, going on the false principle that the English Cabinet essistett Spain in the last war, egotist Napoleon, only for its own interest: they now say, that the English are inactive because they have nothing to gain on this occasion. Yet if the French prove conquerors in Spain, which may be expected front the great resources they can command, this country will be very much under the influ ence of France, while that of Great Britain will be diminished here, and In the sequel, perhaps in Portugal; for this is the tendency of. the policy of the North. " In the generatimprovament of internal commerce in Spain, in Consequence of the large sums spent by the French, the English are nearly excluded from the advantages of it, espe cially singe the invasion of Galicia, by the exclusive protection given to the 'French goods, which now have the preference in the Provinces on the Ebro, the Asturias,Mragon, and even the Southern Provinces, where the blockade is s`g•reat hindrance to the importation 'of English goods, which will be still more re. stricted whenthe ordera of the Itegesicy for the organization of the customhouses on the frontiers of Poitugal shall be put into execution ; meantime the English merchantmen sail about Our seas without knowing where to land. some bound to Ga licia have been obliged to proceed tq•Gibraltar, not having .been able to enter any Spanish port on the ccean or in the Mediterranean." laps. 13.—We have already spoken of the contagious dis order that has manifested itself at Passage.and we now added the particulars that we have been able to collect. , It is now certain that,this disorder has assigned so alarming a character that the military authorities is the corps blockading St. Sebastian, after having taken the first precautions to secure themselves against it, sent notice to.the Commandant of this - city, asking a rein forcement of at least one battalion, to form a-cordon sufficiently - extensive to prevent its spreatling'any further. Inconsequence of this application a part of the 52d Regiment, which is in gar rison here, has been sent. The members, of the board of health set out yesterday with post horses for Milani, when they wilt s hit able to form a correct ()pillion of the ruse, meantime, all the information that we have received here, gives the strongest rea son to fear that it is really the yellow fever, brought by a vessel from the Havannali, and communicated by those who worked on board it. In the first few days after its arrival, Which took place in the beginning of August, about twenty persons, as far as we learn, have already fallen victims. Those attacked are generally 'young and robust. The infected vessel has been sunk, and it is intended to burn it. Vessels coming front that place and the environs will be henCeforth subjected to a very rigorous quarantine. We find that the bombardment , of Fampeluna not only ceased on Tues day (the.9th), and there was some negociating, but nothing agreed upon. The firing began next day with the resolution not to make any new proposals, mrpur side, till 800 bombs of the largest dimensions, which were ready, should be thrown into the towM It is reported that a fiag of truce has been sent from St. Sebastian's to ask for water and medicines, but Some persons, who are convinced that the place is really well supplied with necessaries, are inclined to think, that, if it has sent any flag of truce, it is more a ruse de guerre to learn the state of the besieging corps. The news from Madrid is of little importance. The Prince, notwithstanding the taking of the Trocartero, seems still desirous of obtaining an amicable arrangement; and having caused now proposals to be made, they have been followed by the ar-' rival of General Alava at head (wanes.. We hear nothing of Ballanteros and the other constitutional Generals; meaneme, all the troops that are in the provinces are ordered to Andalusia —even the 23d regiment of the line, which formed the garrison of Madrid, has left that city and Matched for Andalusia. There are 11411 many'rich in the capital. The operations of the Re gency are very important, only it is observed, that since tha kindpf revocation of the Decree of Andujar, the arrests have recommenced, but the precaution is taken to send the prisoners out of Madrid. It is affirmed that in Cadiz, al the members of the Govern ment, to excite the courage and patience of the soldiers and of the militia, do military duty like them. There begins to be some want of harmony between the Spanish Royalists and the French, the former murmuring that the French have not ful filled the agreement they made rspecting the payment of the Regency of three millions of reals per montb,.and for the cloth. ing of 30,00 0 men. The penury of the Spanish Treasury is ex treme, the public coffers are empty, and there does not appear to be any means of filling them, as the people every where re fuse to pay the . taxes, even on the ancient footing. It is thought at Madrid, that this state of .things csnuot be suffered to lust Ling. From the LONDON GAZFWE, E S'ept. 20 At the Court at Windsor, the 19th of September, 1323, present, the King's Most excellent Majesty in Council, It is this day ordered by his Majesty in Council, that the- Parliament be prorogued from Tuesday the 30th day of this in stant.

To dic DIRECTORS of the WEST INDIA DOCKS. I beg leave to address a few lines to you hi consequence of having perused in THE SUN News paper various articles, purporting to be 4 c a reply to Mr. MA R RYAT'S observations, &c. &c." Really, Gentlemen, I think you have not acted with your usual good sense in thus contributing this pic nic entertainment for the public. It is true that a bow may have little vigour, though the shafts have much venom. But what is the object you have in view ? To prove that his observations are quite out of time ? Why, the expiration of the exclusive privilege before their publication, proves this better than you can do. To shew that he proposes nothing ? Why, the work itself shews this. To demonstrate that the observa tions are at variance with -the general tenor of the report ? Why, the report itself proves,this, To warn the , reader that the work is without scope or aim, but as a vehicle for disappointed feeling ? Why, every page evinces this. Your present proceedings, Gentlemen, are, to use a homely expression, nuts to Mr. Marryat. He seems to like to fish in troubled waters. His work would have fallen nearly still-born from the Press, if you had not so kindly and so cha ritably vivified it by the notice that you have taken of it. You have performed to this bantling of Mr Marryat's the office of a careful midwife. .It was dying, and you have smacked and thrashed it into life. You wished, perhaps, to expose the Want of candour ) of fair dealing, and impartiality in Mr. Marryat. Yen seem_pot to understand the character of Pamphleteers.. Tifey are like the professed boxer, who, by his peculiar habits of exercise and training, has his flesh rendered so firm and his sinews so hardened, as to be nearly insensible to blows, which would stun a come ion man. Thus it is with pamphleteers. Their feelings are so blunted, their minds are made so obtuse by the very nature of their pro fession, as to be insensible to argumen i t, reprouh, or confutation. you may accuse such a one of misrepresentation, suppression of evidence, or any of the usual artifices of a party writer ; he will give you the same excuse that Falstaff did for robbing —cg 'Tie my vocation, Hal;" Be assured Mr. M. will again attack you, and will again exhibit himself in print. For (if I may be allowed to quote from his favourite author) — Pragmatic, busy, bustling, bold; His arrogance is uncontroull'd; And thus he makes his party good, And grows Dictator of the wood. People with admiration stare, And think him a prodigious bear. In his notable analysis of the evidence, Mr Marryat is worse than PRUCKUSTES himself. The latter Worthy made the body suit his iron bed, by simply stretching the limbs if too short, or amputating them if too long. But to make the evidence fit his bed of justice, Mr. M. not only stretches and dislocates the body of evidence laid before the Committee, but with his toma hawk he chops off whole limbs, making them change places with each other, putting the leg where the arm should be, the head where the tail should be ; and thus having completely new modelled the structure and organization of the whole body, he pretends to exhibit the carcase thus mangled as the true and genuine representa tive of the original. In this work, consisting of many pages and costing ten shillings, Mr. Marryat might have imitated the conduct of the Roman Sybil in burning half his sheets. So far from diminish ing the value of those remaining, he would have increased It, though still they would not have been worth the cost now put upon them. At all events the reader would have thanked him. All this, however, is foreign to your purpose ; let me as a friend advise you, Gentlemen, to be content with the splendid and imperishable com mendations bestowed upon you in the report of the Committee. You have higher duties to per form to the public than mispending your time and attention in answering " the observations." Continue to improve your works, to afford pro tection to property, to give facility and dispatch to business, to keep your charges precise, and clear and moderate, to secure the safe, speedy, and ceconotnical collection of the revenue, and you will then not only do ,justice to your pro prietary, but render the m os t i m portant service to the port of London, and indeed to the whole British Empire. , A WEST INDIA PLANTER PILEFERMENT.-011 Friday week, the Rev.

A Telegraphic Dispatch, received with the French Papers of Friday, from which we have given copious extracts in our preceding columns, announces the surrender of the town and citadel of Pampeluna, under a capitulation by which the garrison are to be conveyed to France as pri soners of war. Even the successes of the French,' therefore, only prove the impossibility of replac ing Spain under the old despotism ; for when the vanquished Constitutionalists prefer a French pri son to the service of the Regency, we may be as sured that the same men, after their liberation at the conclusion of peace, will' be ever ready to take up arms again at the call of any leader, who may hereafter unfurl the banner of freedom. In Catalonia the Constitutionalists continue to main tain the conflict with admirable courage and , The Report transmitted by Marshal MONCEY to the Minister of War proves that the column which has so adroitly thrown itself in his rear from Barcelona, gives him considerable disquiet; and notwithstanding his hope that it will be unable to raise the blockade of Figueras or Ifostalrich, we shall not be surprised to hear of its having performed some brilliant or useful exploit. " The tocsin was ringir sides ; and the peasantry were arming for the common cause." The Marshal evidently wishes it to be understood that this rising of the population was in favour of the French ; but the events of the campaign have so incontrovertibly demonstrated the attachment of the Catalonians to the-Constitu tional cause, that it is easy to perceive in the statement of the Marshal a confession that a ge neral insurrection is taking place against him and his Royalist Allies. On the Wilt instant, the garrison of Barcelona made a general sally, attacking the French on several points at once. The Report does not favour us with any of the results, except that the Spaniards, after the ac tion, retired, as a matter of course, within the walls of the place, but which the French take care to say, on this'as on all other occasions, was the conse quence of the valour with which the sortie was repulsed. The Journal des Dads declares that the Protest attributed to the Madrid Regency is, as we suspected, a forgery. It also states a cir cumstance which at the present moment may be considered as of some importance, viz. that the Duke d'AhrnotmEstz had sent to
