The Governor of Cadiz, Valdes, having
convoked the Authorities of that City, it was
resolved rather to make the ruins of the city
their sepulchre than to enter into any compro..
wise with the Duke of Amoota.smc. They
also hope that the equinoctial gales will drive
pwa.y the blockading squadron, and enable them
to escape with impunity.

BA YoNNE, SEPT. 9.—The following circular
has been forwarded by General Guilleminot to
all the Military and Civil Authorities, both
French and Spanish:—
" His Royal Highness being informed that various local au-
thorities have misinterpreted his order of the Bth of August,
has commissioned me to make to you several observations on
the subject. At the same time that his Royal Highness ex-
presses his desire to put a stop to all arbitrary.meneures he
likewise acknowledges the utility of securing the power of the'
Spanish Authorities, both municipal and judicial, in order to
repress crimes, the impunity of which would endanger the
uillitybthe
public tranq preservation of which was the object of
that order.
" It never watthe intention of his Royal Highness to urrest
the course of justice in the prosecution of ordinary crimes, re-
specting which the Magiifrates must retain the entire plenitude
of their authority. The measures prescribed in the order of
the B'h August have no other object than to ensure the effects
of the Prince's word, by which he guaranteed the tranquillity
of those who, on the faith of the promise of--his Royal High-
ness, should leave the enemy's ranks ; but, at the same time,
indulgence for the past is an assurance of the rigour with which
new alines will be punished; and, consequently, the French
Commanders are not only to suffer the ordinary tribunals to
act, whose office it is to punish with all the seventy of the law
those who shall in future be guilty of infractions, disorder', or
disobedience, but they shall also act in concert with the local
authorities, in all measurer which shall concern the preserva-
tion of the public peace.
" As for the regulations contained in article 4, which places
the Journals under the inspection of the French commanders,
it must not be supposed that it has any other object than to
prevent the insertion in the Papers of articles which may influ-
ence part spirit, and hinder the effect of the measutieses r
whether
pted
by his Royal Highness, by ill-timed peenali—
relative to the military operations, or to the pacification of
Spain and the liberty of his Catholic Majesty, t chief object
of his Royal Highness's efforts. 'The French Commanders
must make at with the Spanish Authorities to hin-
der the insertion of such, and in case the Authorities should nut
pay regard to these observations, it is natural and just, that,
',cling for the interest of the operations of the army, the Com-
manders should oppose such insertions.
" Please to make known to the Civil and Military Spanish
Authorities who are in your district, and to the French Com-
mandants under your orders, the preceding observations, which
can leave no doubt respecting the real intentions of his Royal
Highness•
The news from Pampeluna does not give
many particulars relative to the siege. We only
know that our batteries have not fired since Fri•
dav, though we are masters of all the out-we-.4.S
and of the suburb of Roche Peo, as far as and
including the mill,and the slaughter-houses which

are under the walls. • It is reported this morning

that a negociation is ou foot.

Sick and wounded continue to be sent here,
who are for the most part forwarded to the hos-
pitals in the interior.

We are enabled positively to state, in contra-
diction to the assertions in other Papers, that
there has never been any contest for the vacant
seat in the Cabinet ; nor has any question of suc-
cession ever arisen, either directly or indirectly,
in this respect. We some time since stated that
it was understood Mr. HustussoN was to be ap-
pointed to the Cabinet during the present recess—
of course without any reference to the vacancy
occasioned by the retirement of Lord MARY..
BOROUGH", such event not being even in contem-
plation at the time ; and we now feel it neces-
sary only to assure our Readers, which we can
confidently do, without any hazard of contradic-
tion, that our information was then perfectly cor-
rect upon the subject. Mr. HusKlssoN was to
have a seat in the Cabinet at all events, whether
any vacancy occurred or not; and whether the
time fixed for that purpose was the month of
September or that of October, the recent vacan-
cy will neither accelerate nor retard the ap-
pointment.—(Morning Post.)

Last night Capt. JONES, of the Sappho sloop
of war, left town 'for Portsmouth with answers
from Mr. CANNING to the dispatches he brought
from Sir WI/. A'Couur at Gibraltar. He sails
immediately.

The Marquis of HASTINGS, according to au
article in the French Papers, arrived at Brussels
on the 12th inst. with his family.
• Letters from St. Petersburgh, by the last mail,
say the weather continues remarkably fi►►e, and
that the harvest turns out most abundant. The
value of exports from Archangel in the month of
June, was stated at two millions 383,867 rubles.
The number or foreign ships that had arrived at
Cronstadt, between the 6th and the 27th of July,
was 142.

A letters dated Stockholm, Aug. 26, says a
very melancholy accident occurred near Calmer
lately.—A ferry-boat was upset, and 33 persons
perished.
A monument has lately been erected in the
Cathedral Church of Cambray, to the memory of
the celebrated FENELON.

The Strasburg!' Paper mentions, that a work-
man in the great manufactory of Mr. KoEBLIY, at
Dornach, had killed the Director of the Works,
by inflicting two stabs with a knife and a blow
on the skull. The brother of the Proprietor of
the Works was wounded at the same time. The
murderer is arrested.

The neighbourhood of Trieste was lately
visited with a terrible hail storm, which inflicted

MURDER OF THE AGENT TO LLOYD'S AT LlS-
DON.—Extract of a letter from Lisbon, dated
Sept. 6 :—" I regret to inform you that Mr. R.
B. Whitney, on his return from Figueira, where
he had been for the purpose of examining the
Acorn's sales and charges, was attacked by rob-
bers on the 30th ult., and died the following day
from the wound inflicted on him, by a ball pass-
ing through his body."
Extract of another letter, same date:--" I am sorry to ac-
quaint'you of the melancholy death of Mr. R. B. Whitney,
who was barbarously shot and robbed by highwaymen, on Sa-
turday last, the 40th ult., near Rio Major, about 12 leagues
from hence, on a journey from, Figueira."

THE THEATRE.—Mrs. Vxsrals,.after a theatri-
cal trip to Edinburgh, returned last night to the
Haymarket Theatre in the part of Captain Mac.
heath. If we could possibly be deluded into a
supposition that such an effeminate looking
Hero could be the leader of a band of robbers,
we might have been amused by her spirit and
humour, but the absurdity is ridiculous and re-
volting. She might appear to advantage in Polly,
and a good Macheath might have been found in
Mr. PHILLIPS, who recently returned from
America, and is on the eve, we understand,
of departing for Ireland. He is an excel-
lent singer and a very good actor, and we
are surprised that the Proprietor of the
Haymarket Theatre, who is so much on the
alert, did not contrive to secure so able a per-
former. Mrs. VESTRIS supported the part with
vivacity, and was well received. Mrs. GARRICK
was a tolerable Polly in point of acting, but her
vocal powers are by no means equal to what the
public have been accustomed to hear in that part.
Mrs. C. JONES IS an excellent Lucy, and the rest
of the characters had reasonable support from
TERRY, WILLIAMS, &C. &C. The first piece was
Gay Deceivers, which was rendered highly di-
verting by HARLEY and Mrs. Gilles, and the
concluding farce of Fish out of Water was, as
usual, admirably supported by LISTON, who has
taken a firm hold of popular favour.—There was
a numerous and applauding audience.
Miss KELLY, it seems, is not engaged at either
of the Winter Theatres, but this omission can be
no fault of the Managers, as they must be eager
to avail themselves of her talents, if her inclina-
tion does not lead her to a temporary recession
from the fatigues of theatrical employment.
The son of Mr. MATHEWS, the actor, has been
ucated for the profession of an Architect,
under the able tuition of Mr. PUGIN. He pos-
sesses hereditary talents for the Stage, but he
prefers the track of VITRUVIUS, and, under the
liberal protection of the Earl of BLESSINTON, is
on the eve of a journey through Italy, in order to
study the remains of ancient taste and grandeur.l
Madame CATALAN', report says, will sing alt
the Italian Opera next season, for a certain

Number of nights.
THE CANAL 1N ST. JAMES'S PARK.---11119
morning the steam-engine, erected on the north
bank of the Canal, began to operate very effica-
ciously in forcing the water, through a temporary
conductor, into the brick drain. The water is
thus carried off in a considerable stream, which
will soon complete the drainage of what bad be-
come a very offensive and unhealthy nuisance.
On Saturday, the 6t,h instant, whilst the Hon.
Mr. NORTON was in pursuit of a roe deer, on
the top of one of the Rannoch hills, he flushed a
woodcock and shot him. The oldest game-
keepers do not recollect to have seen a bird of
this species In this country earlier than the cud
of this month.
