A Parisian engineer now at Cherbourg, transmits the
following statements :
" The works at the port of Cherbourg commenced in
1782, are scarcely half completed. The dyke on which
twenty-seven millions have already been expended, will re-
quire nineteen millions more, and the sums still wanted to
complete the establishments of the Naval Arsenal are
estimated at forty-three millions. Thus at least sixty-two
millions must be employed in finishing a port which its situa-
tion renders of such iinthense importance to the future pros-
perity of the French navy. Continuing to apply every year,
as has been done for the last five years, 1,200,000 francs
(the remainder of the sum allotted to the port of Cher-
bourg, being required for the current expense of keeping
the works in repar), more than fiFty years must elapse
before France can enjoy tee fruit of the enormous sacri-
fices imposed on the country for the erection of this port.
Surely it would be better in every respect to allot a sum
for the work, by means of which the whole might be
finished in ten years.
" Cherbourg is the only port of France in the ocean
which cam, keep England in check, and one day, perhaps.
command it. Napoleon was sensible of this, and more was
done in the last five years of his reign than during the
whole of the restoration and the reign of Louis Philippe.
Napoleon is the author of the plans now in course of cxc-
cut•on. Seven or eight hundred workmen are now em-
ployed. There ought to be 10,000."—Commerce.

Letters and papers from Madrid of the 19th inst.
have been received. The Gazette of that date con-
tains despatches to the Government from Generals
ESPARTHEsO and O'DoNNELL—the former recounting
his victorious march from Amurrio to Vittoria, with the
loss of only twenty killed, and sixty.six wounded ; and
the latter announcing the defeat of CABRERA, and the
occupation of Tales by the Queen's troops, but with no
details of the engagement save that it lasted for sixteen
hours. With respect to the Ministerial question it is
reported that the Regent has declared that there must
be no modification of the Cabinet—the Ministry must
go out, or remain in together.
