EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

We have received by Express the Illoniteur of
Monday, the Etoile of Monday night, and the
Pilote of yesterday morning. A sudden and
auspicious change has taken place in the state
of affairs at Cadiz. We were right in consider-
ing yesterday that the annunciation of FERDI-
NAND'S intention to visit the Duke of AN-
GOULEME at his head-quarters was no evidence
either of the despair of the Constitutionalists,
or of their having resolved to make a dishonour.
able submission. Accordingly, a second Tele.
graphic Dispatch from the Duke of Armour:tin,
following close upon the first, already announces
that the negociations are broken off; and that, in-
stead of a visit from the King of SPAIN, hosti-
lities were to be resumed on the following day !
Either the Duke of ANGOULEME or the French
Government is extremely incommunicative re-
specting this extraordinary affair. The first
Dispatch said nothing of negotiations, but simply
announced that FERDINAND was coming to the
Prince's head-quarters. The second Dispatch,
on the other hand, says nothing of FranrNAND,
but briefly announces, that the previously un-
known and unheard of negociations aro broken gf,
and that hostilities are immediately to be re-
sumed ! The meaning of all this is, of course, that
the KING, lifter promising to visit the Duke, has
since sent him word that he will not come; but of
the objects of his first intention, and of the causes
of its subsequent abandonment, we are left
equally in ignorance ! Have the garrison of Ca-
diz, or its inhabitants, or the Cortes, or all
these together, on learning that the Ministers
had consented to the KING'S departure, inter.
fered, and prevented the execution of a design
which they may have regarded as destructive to
the cause of independence? Or has FERDINAND
himself refused to leave Cadiz, unless his fa..
mily is suffered to accompany him ? This
supposition is not very probable, because the
conditions of his departure must have been
arranged before it was intimated to the
Duke of ANGOULEME. Or has the Duke, on
his part, refused to comply with some preli-
rnininary stipulation which had been submitted
to him along with the intimation of the KING'S
intention ? That is alto improbable; for he
must have been aware of any such preliminary
stipulation, and must have been ready to accede
to it before he sent off his first dispatch. Ifas
he, after having made up his mind to the con-
cession, changed his resolve, and again haughtily
required the unconditional surrender of the
KING, and perhaps of bis family? Or have the.
Spanish Ministers themselves, after having advised
'FERDINAND to go to Port St. Mary, seen sufficient
reasons to alter their counsel, and to advise the
KING to reject the advice which they had pre-
viously presented to him. Conjecture is baffled in
attempting to account for an affair which
appears to be, without further information,
absolutely inexplicable. It will be not a little
curious, after the French have so often assured
us that the troops and inhabitants of Cadiz

! One thing only is
the h
cause,
that they have finally iiergnedonefcrest hoTeiroi
r resolved to brave the
worst, and to cast the fate of themselves and of

their country on the decision of the sword. We
must await the issue with patience. If the
boasted preparations of the Duke of AN'
GOULEME were realty intended for a grand
attack, the fate of Cadiz, and with it that
of the war, is probably decided before
now. Unless treachery has made most extensive
progress indeed, and unless the Constitutionalists
betray themselves, there is every ground of hope
that Cadiz is capable of making an effec-
tual resistance. We confess, it is true, that
we fear the effect of treachery within the walls,
and that we doubt whether the too well-ground-
ed apprehension of treachery may not paralyze
the arms of the Constitutionalists in the hour
of trial. But, if Cadiz should successfully re-
sist, what would not the Duke of ANGOU.•
Lem: give then, that he had abated some-
what of those arrogant pretensions which
may even yet bring him and his army into a

situation of the greatest peril, and which roily
give a new, and, for the Spaniards, a prosperous
turn to the war !

GRAND HEAD-QUARTERS.
" PORT ST. MARY, SEPT. 27.
gi The town is nearly deserted. This evening
all are at the head-quarters at Chiclana. The
projected attack on the Isle of Leon is to take
place on two points. The troops that will em-
bark from the point of Rota are destined to pro-

ceed to the fort of Torregorda, and the other
troops will march over the pontoon of boats, which
separates the fort of Santi Pali from the Isle of
Leon. Thirty pieces of artillery will be added
to those which are already in the fort of Santi
Petri, to fire on the enemy's shore during the
passage of our troops. The Count Bourmont
will command the landing. The Prince Carignan,
the Duke of Guiche, and Colonel Routourlia
are at present on board the Centaur."
We read in the Restauradur of the Ist October
the following :

" PORT ST. MAnr, four o'clock at flight.
" His Royal Highness passed at Chichtna a
few hours with all the Generals.

" After having summoned Cadiz to surrender,
the general attack will be made on the island,
and it is thought it will take place this night,
unless they send from Cadiz a' flag of truce.
" All is in movement, and every tl►ing is pre.
paring to transport the head-quarters to the
Island of Leon."

" MANZANARES, SEPT. 26.—Riego has en-
tered our town this morning, at ten o'clock, un-
der a strong escort. An immense population
went to see him pass, crying out, Death to the
Traitor Riego! Ile was conducted to prison for
the night, and to-morrow he will continue his
march for Madrid. A false alarm was given that
a baud of 400 revolutionists'had arrived at Ave-
noja, to deliver the hero of ,Tragala."
" MADRID, SEPT. 30.—Government has re-
ceived news direct from Cadiz of the 23d. The
bgmbardment caused the greatest confusion in
that town, but the K ing and all the Royal Family
did not run any danger. The Generals and Naval
Officers have ascertained as certain that Cadiz can
be easily bombarded. The Marquis of Talaru
arrived at Xeres on the 24th, and the following
day went to the Duke Infantado with whom he
had a long conference, at which the Minister of
War assisted. On the 23d and 25th there arrived
at Port St. Mary more than one hundred perol"
who escaped by bribery from Cadiz. All
the inhabitants are in their cellars and the
Members of the Cortes have proposed to bold
their Sittings in a cavern. It is not doubted tl at
a few hours bombardment will reduce these 1110"
tin eers. The people only wish for the signal of
revolt to deliver the King."

In the Opposition Journals of yesterday we
read a long article on Spain, stating that Bacilli"'
Cadiz, Ciudad Rodrigo, Carthagenn, Alicant,
Lerida, Tarragona, Barcelona, and Seo, remain
yet to be taken. •

General Larochejacquelin has joined General
O'Donnell, and shut up in Ciudad Rodrigo the
troops
of the Empecinado, where they b?
obliged to surrender.
[From the Mote of ct 7.1
Two or three days will pass O
before we can re•
ceive at Paris an explanation of the two Tele

graphic Dispatches. which arrived yesterday.—
What a field for politicians ! It is difficult to
form conjectures on an event so extraordinary !
The most wise must wait—let us wait !!!

What we foresaw has happened. The column
which went out of Tarragona, under the orders
Of Lloheras, has arrived at Lerida with an inten-
tion to relieve that place, and reinforce the gar-
rison, which is threatened ith a siege.
The information received from Pampeluna
speaks of the arrest of 200 persons. The sol-
diers of the Faith have been sent off in the direc-
tion of Logrono.

CITY, Twelve o'clock.—Consols opened this
morning at 83ii, and up to this hour 83-iff, with
little doing. The Expresses from Paris bring
the French Rentes at 91f. 10c.; Spanish, 41. ;
French Scrip, 21. The manner in which the
French Telegraphic Dispatches are worded seems
to puzzle every person, and another Express is
anxiously looked for to explain the subject.
FOREIGN MARKET.—Colombian and Spanish
Bonds are the only Foreign Securities in which
business is doing this morning.

A file of Cape Town Gazettes has been re-
ceived at the New England Coffee-house, to the
20th July. The following is from the Paper of
the 19th July:—

" On the Bth inst. Mr. GEORGE THOMPSON ar-
rived in town from Old Lattakoo in the short
space of 14 days, bringing with him the follow-
ing extraordinary intelligence :—Mr. Moffatt
states the approach of a numerous, power-
ful, and ferocious army, described to come
from the South. Having conquered and
driven twenty-eight tribes, they were repulsed
by the Wanketts, they intended to attack Old
Lattakoo and Grigua Land. They are composed
of white, black, and Hottentot colour, have rather
long hair, and speak a strange language. Many
wear European clothes; the most of them nearly
naked. Their weapons are an ancient sword, a
short hand spear, and a cudgel without a head ;
they have their wives and children with them ;
and, lastly, it is positively said they are Can-
nibals."
