[MORNING POST.]

The Paris Papers of Sunday, and one of Mon-1
day morning, reached us last night by Express.
The Ministerial Journals have kept their word.,
They .had prepared the Public for a period of
silence after the affair of the Trocadero, and
they have said !lathing since which can possibly
be construed into an approach to intelligence.
In the absence of official communications, the
Ultra Prints once more take the lead, and
though not much trust can be placed on what
they publish, as its quality is rather doubtful,
there is at least no deficiency in quantity.—
According to the Riede, what Napoleon's
most experienced eng4m'ers .could not effect
during a siege of pearly two years, has been done
on the very first trial by those of the Duke or
Angouleme. Without any mortars of unusual
size, and cast for the purpose, like those left by
the retreating enemy in 1812, the French, we
are told, have contrived to throw bombs into
Cadiz. The former,, it is well known, notwith-
standing their power, failed' to do any damage to
the city or its walls ; the rapidity with which' the
shells
,projected, by such an immense force,pro-
teeded, extinguished the fuse before they
reached the ethei side of the bay, and an
attempt was made\ to supply their , place by
menses of lead, the weight of which it was
(bought would crush and destroy whole houses.
Distance, however, rendered even thiS expedient
inoperative, rind although in two instances during
the whole course of the siege, houses were struck
by those masses, the force with which they fell
carried them clean through the various floors, leav-
ing holes like cannon balls wherethey had passed,
but inflicting no other injury on the building.-7-
Now, though the distance be 'the, same, and the
powers of the mortars dithinished, the result is-
very different. Napoleon had only thought of ma-
terial means, and therefore failed : the Duke of
Angouleme.has invoked the Saints to his aid and
therefore succeeds. His shells are miraculously
borne across the Bay
,on the wings of St. Leuis
and other family Beatitudes, who take care that
they de not explode too soon'. Hence they reach
their object, and verk mighty destruction. In a
short time, the Et9ile assures uS, they set fire to
the vast magazines of wood and brandy which
were near the fort Vulgates, and the conflagration
raged soloing and 'so fiercely, that the French in
the Trecadero could read byits light. Much is also
said of preparatioi.s• for effecting a landing on
the Isle of Leon, but no account is given of the
reasons. which prevented the attempt from being
made as it was originally intended, when the
Trocadero was attacked. Indeed it is not yet
certain that such an attempt may not have been
made, and have been defeated in the action of
the 30th ult., and that the rejoicings Mentioned
by Majer-General Guilleminot .as having taken
place at Cadiz for a great victory on that day-,
may not have been occasioned by the repiilse or
destruction of the invading party. When it is
recollected that it was only through the indis-
cretion of Major-General Guilleminot that we
heard at all of the action-of the 30th, it may
well be suspected that more things passed on that
day than he haS chosen to record..

tartITISIL PItESS.]

The French Papers of Sunday reached our
oflice yesterday. A. meeting between two of the
crowned despots of the Continent, the Emperor
of Austria, and the Northern Autocrat, is spoken
of at Czernowitz, on the frontiers of Poland.—
The hoary diplomatist Metternich will Retlolll..
pany his master Francis to the scene of consulta-
tion. 'There the absolute power of Emperors and
Kings will form the basis of deliberation, and the
rights of nations and their people will be farther
trampled Wi and abused. Plundered Poland, the
very spot on which they will tread, acquired by
armed robbery by these very Powers, is a fit
scene for such a meeting! This consultation is
said to be only the fivunt courier of another
general Congress at Milan? where all the despots,
the Ministers and satellites, will assemble, and
the code of 'slaiery intended for the west or
Europe, the weight of the chains in which Spain
and Portugal are to he boend, will be debated
and resolied on. 1‘ letternich,..who'necornpanies
his master to Czernowitz, has devised, a plan, it
is said, " to consolidate the peace of Europe, on
new foundations, by founding a novel sort of I

national representation, without.derogating from
the monarchical principles established fiorn time
immemorial, and the system of legitimacy re-
cognized by all the members of the Holy Al-
liauce." The. Austrian Minister did not think it
right, it is added, to present " his plan at Verona,
where he would have experienced a dangerous
opposition on the part of the British Minister ;
but desires to have the previous approbation of
the two Monarchs before submitting it to the ex-,
amination of a great assembly." This statement
is taken from the 411gemeine'Zeitung or Uuni-
versol Gazette 'of Augsburg, a Paper in general
moderate, and well-informed on the affairs of Ger-
many. But we know the British MiniSter better
than the Editors of the German Paper, and assure
them there was little apprehension from thepactfic
British Minister at Verona, let the plan of the hoary
head of the Vienna Councils have been what it may.
It is a strong proof, however, that freedom is
making its way powerfully in Europe, when even
the cold-blooded Metternich has, at the bidding
of the Moravian despot, devised a plan of na-
tional representation, a term hitherto unbear-
able by the banded tyrants of the Holy Al-
liance. As for unhappy Spain, the object of
their solicitude, fanaticism, there is at its height.
The capture of the Trocadero has given new spi-
rits to the supporters of absolute power, and the
Regency and their bloodhounds are now yelling
for the destruction' of the Cortes and the sup-
porters of a free'Constitution throughout Spain.
It will be seen from the Bayonne letter (see
another column of 'rift SUN), that the Regency
have resolved that Ferdinand, if he enters Ma-
drid alive, and triumphant over the liberties rff
his country, shall have his very horses' hoofs
wet with Constitutional bloOd. This circle of
sunguinary traitors, the Bayonne letter asserts,
in a secret sitting, more than decimated the
Cortes, marking in their bloody lists, forty of the
most distinguished for death, and fifty others
to perpetual banishment to the Philippine
Isles. Among the first illustrious victims are,
it is said, the eloquent Conga Arguelles, and his
brother the venerable Romero Alpuente, Ga-
liano, Islaritz, and others. When, such a fate as
this attends ,submission, who can wonder at the
Cortes resolving to hold Cadiz while a single gun
remains mounted on its ramparts or one stone of
its defences on another, and at last falling, if ne-
cessary, with Ferdinand and his family, amid ge-
neral ruin, sooner than yield, to die Upon scaf-
folds, and see the liberties of Spain destroyed for
ever in the fall. The Cortes, if this bloody fate
awaits them, should take care that the tyra'nt for
whom they are proscribed does not survive.—
Cadiz should not be surrendered but an universal
slaughter-house. Its enemies should only enter
when its defences are all levelled, and its garri-
son and patriots stiffened corpses, side by side
with Ferdinand, his brothers, and 'family in the
midst. Catalonia is the only province that made
any resistance worthy of Spain, and there the
French have made no progress. Milans and
Llobera, the worthy sticcessors of the gallant
Mina, defy all the elrarts of Moncey.

COVENT GARDEN THEATRE.

TO THE•EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sin--From the kind and very disinterested in-
terest you have shown in the cause of the
44 VETERAN BRANDON," I am persuaded you will
hear with satisfaction, that the differences which
have so unfortunately prevailed with the Lessees,
are at length terminated in a manner creditable
to all parties.
The Lessees have secured to him, for the pe-
riod of their lease, an annuity of 150/. a year.
It is due to Mr. FAWCETT (the Manager of
this Establishment), that I should add, this sa-
tisfactory arragement has been brought about en-
tirely through his friendly interposition.

I am; yours very obediently,
G. H. ROBINS.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

DONCASTER RACES.:-MONDAY, SEPT. 15.

This being.the day-appointed for the decission of the, Great
St. Leger stakes, the course was crowded with an immense
number of spectators, and the grand stands were filled with the
rank, beauty and fashion of Yorkshire and the adjoining coun-
ties. The arrangements, under the direction of the Stewards,
the Hon. T. Dundas and J. Lowther, Esq., were of the best,
description, and added materially to the comforts of the.visitors.
The greatest interest was excited for the result of the St. Leger,
anti betting was extremely brisk

Twelve started.—The Judge placed but three.

Columbus, Comte d'Artois, Tancred,. Mr. Upyleby's colt

Meltonian, Beresina, Palais-lloyal, Brilliance, Ringlet,
Plumper, Rhubarb, Isabella, Brighton, Honest John, and
L'Hude de Venus colt went off without being started by
the Clerk of the Course, leaving at the post Caledonian, 11Ier-
candotti, Claude Lorraine, and Etiquette, when the Rosanne
colt came in first, Barefoot second, and Comte d'Artois third.
This was decided by the Stewards and the Gentlemen appointed
from the Club to be a false start, and the race was afterwards
run as above.

FALSE Si'AUT.—Sherwooa made very severe play, and kt
thelead up to the Red-House, when he was headed by the
COmte d'Artois, and some severe running then took place be-
twecn the Comte, Barefoot, and Rosanne, the latter winning
by only a head. 'Pinker was beat early, and Barefoot was
shut out in running.7-Run in three minutes, twenty-three
Seconds.

'ruE START.—The Comte made severe play until .about
two distances from home, when Barefoot came alongside of
him anti won very easy by two lengths.—ltun in 3 minutes,
234 seconds. •
The event of this race has disappointed the expedition of the
sporting world. The Tinker, who was first favourite, was not
placed, 4nit Barefoot (who belongs to the .same owner) was
betted .nainst at I;reat odds ; he won, however, in fine style,
and came in amidst the acclamations of the populace.
4eVeral accidenis occurred, .but none of a serious nature.—
The pickpoCkets were'. very active in their nefarious operationa,
but Several were detected and punished in the usual summary
manner.

Doncaster Is crowded with company. The several places oi
amusement were numerously and fashionably attended.

BETTING.
DONCASTER ST. LEGER.
The following was the state of the odds previous to the race:
it will be seen that Rosanne went back four points.; this .was on
the previous night, but 'it Was confidently expected he
would be again up. There was comparatively but little busi-
ness doing, SAVO th a squaring of the books, or backing one horse
against another. At Tattersall's there was.nothing done worth

OBSERVATIOW.—At length the St. Leger of 1023 is de.
tided ; and Barefoot, after.running the race twice, is declared
the victor, thus proving the old adage, that public running is
the sure and safest
.criterion to back a horse. Barefoot has
stetted, from two years old up to the piesent . time, for seven
races, out of which he htis won six, and always beat his horses
cleverly. The first time he ever started was for the Two
Years Ohl at York Sl?ring Meeting, 1822, where he was
beat by Mr. Powlett's Fanny, who lately fell' amiss. It
appears there were three false starts, and that on the fourth
23 .horses got away, leaving four behind ; the.race was, how.
over, persevered in, and some very severe running took place
between Berefoot'and Rosanne. 'The Rosanne colt, however
came in first, Barefoot second, and Sherwood third. After the
lapse of an hour, it was decided to run the race again), when
the whole 27 started ; Barefoot coming in first, and Sherwood
second. Tinker, like all the progeny of Tramp, stopped short of
his distance; and if ever he was tried to be a superior horse he
never could have been tried severely ; but we are inclined to he,
lieve his superiority;was, like. Swap's of last veer, all a hoax,
andthei some patties well knelt, Barefoot to be the best horse
in the stable. -Mr. Watt has not won the St. Legeraince 1813,
although he has often been very near. Barefoot, we believe, is
not the sole property of that gentleman; Mr: (I. Ciainpton, of
York, being half owner. Tom Gootlison nide the Winner, and
W. Scott Sherwood. The odds at starting were 20 to 1 against
the winner.
