Letters received yesterday from Galicia men-
tion that Generale Morillo was in a very unpleas'
sant situation, owing to the clamour of the Monks
and Friars to have their property restored to
them. They plead the example of the Au-
thorities vested with power in- Santander by.
the Madrid Regency, who had taken upon
themselves to eject the legal possessors, and re-
store certain church lands and property to their
former owners; and t great cabal had beet)
raised in order to compel Morillo to do the
same thing in Galicia. The Traitor had, how-
e Ytqr, invariably refused to comply with the•
wishes of the applicants; indeed this was one
prat of the consequences of his own treachery
which he by no means anticipated. Ile himself

which we infer that we shall receive something

speak of terms_ offered by the Cortes, we mean
only to speak of the Members in their intli-
vidual rapacity ; for it is quite idle tO suppme
that they can ever be recognized again as Con-
stituted Authority. We,regard the Revolution
as really and substantially conquered ; and our
chief anxiety henceforward will be Oa a wise

the delicate BesikiAni.irt, which a, liritish Ministry

re-establishment of the Inquisition in all its an-
cient terrors;, hut we say, let the very name of a
tribunal to which are attached such odious re-
collections be abolished. On the other hand, we
are aware that the ancient Cortes cannot easily
be convoked in their ancient form ' • but yet we
hope that a legislative body,' formed on the an-
cient basis, will be assembled.; for it is well
observed in the concluding. article in The Qum.-
_

ter% Review on Spain, that "if a legislative
body composed of these elements should fail to
please some Meads of Spain, in other countries,
they would da well to consider, that; tbat body
is to frame laws for the Spaniards, not' as their
wishes would make them, not as that people is
often described from specimens, nicely, selected,
but such as they appear at this mement out of the
fortified places, which have been found ample
enough to embrace all that is liberal in Spain."

[MORNING HERALD.]
The Paris Papers, which we received within
the last two days, state% fact of some importance.
It is that the bombardment of. Cadiz had been
commenced by the French in due form. It was
on the morning of the 23c1 that it was begun,
and continued during three hours by a part of
the blockading flotilla. After the first two hours
firing, 90 Spanish gun-betas went out of the port
of Cadiz, formed in line of battle, and returned
the fire ; but, according to the French account, at
teo great, a distance. to, reach the enemy. This
bombardment seems to have been little more than
experimental. The Journal des Debuts, to which
alone any credit can be safely given, does not
mention the slightest effect from it. ; nor is it even
clear why the firing ceased. It was a period
when ships could hardly maintain their. station
before Cadiz for any considerable time, in con-
sequence of the equinoctial winds. The accounts
in different journals of the state of mind at
Cadiz, violently contradict each other. According
to one, all is terror and confusion ;—according to
another, the besieged are full of martial and wile.
tic enthusiasm. One inference may be drawn from
bpth combined—k is, that the Constitutionalists
display at last some energy in Cadiz. They suc-
ceeded in levying contributions, which seem to
have stimulated the garrison to exertion. The com-
mencement of the bombardment renders pacific
arrangoineets still more improbable than before.
There are, however, one or two circumstance.
from which the Puris Journalists conclude thas
negociationi are pending, or about to take placet
The French Ambassador to the Regency bad
arrived before Cadiz, at the French head-
quarters, and a confidential aid-do-camp of the
Duke of Angouleme had arrived at Paris, on a
mission, it was supposed, connected with the me-
diation of England, through the agency of the
fAritish Ambassador now at Gihraltar. If one
may judge by the spirit of the Spanish Regency,
and the concessions, rather humiliating, made
to it by the French, it is unlikely, that any com-
promise will tum be made with the Cortes.—
Riego has been given up as a fit object for
punishment. Vigo, the late Constitutional
Governor of Comma, is about to share the
same fate, if it be, true, as stated, that on his
way to France, as a prisoner of war, he was sud-
r,
doily stopped and conveyed to v ittoria.—But
the Members of the Cortes and the Government
at; Cadiz are`equally implicated with these two
Generals in.the Revolution.—These Papers also
contain some news from Greece and Constanti-
nople. It aPpearii that the. Capitan Perim aban-
doned the _blockade of Patriot, in a condition
greatly exhausted by disease, and that the: niche
of Scutari, the main hope of the. Turks by land,
had been deserted, by the Albanians. The de-
sign against the Mmva was therefore regarded as
'given up for the present At Constantinople the
Divan had at length appointed a Commission of
two Members to arrange the differedces with
Russia.

[TinITISIL Pitl.99.]

The report was general in Paris, at the close
of Saturday, that hostilities had ceased before
Cadiz, and that a new treaty between Angordeme
and the Cortes was on- foot. The Count de
Clement-Tennerre, the Duke's Aide-de-Camp,
lied arrived on Saturday suddenly in the French
capital, and his mission to the Ministers was sup-
posed to be of the first importance. The general
opinion was, that the menaced attack on Cadiz
would not, after all, take place ; the late French
Admiral, Hamelin, and Bourdesoult, an expe-
rienced officer, bred in the school of Napoleon,
'are said both to have remonstrated against it,
and pressed its extreme difficulty and'danger.
—Duperre's affected experiment with his flo-
tilla against the city, appears not to have
been very successful ; while the fire of the Spa-
nish batteries evidently was both warm and heavy :
the balls of courSe did not tell, according to Do-
i, ire's acetnuit, bitt.fell above 100 tosses beyond
the French line ; yet he Is obliged to admit that
one bombard was struck by the fire of the Spa-
niards, which he had towed to the coast of Le Cata-
lina; and a boat of the Colosse, commanded by
Eu-
sign Buzee,he confesses, was also pierced bya ball,
a hick killed two men. Duperre acknowledges
that in little more than two hours; he was obliged
to cease the bombardment, the wiuti, which blew
fresh from the south-miest, and the swell of the sea,
rendering it impossible to continue it : about '2OO
bombs and some shells, he states, were thrown,
from eight o'clook to half-past ten. The bum-
hardtnent then ceased, probably as much from
the fire of the Spanish batteries its from an ad.
verse wind and the swell of the sea, though
these too mest,have had their etTegt. Angouleme,
thus finding that• his menace "of a general attack,
and his weak attempt to lay Cadiz in ashes, had,
so far faiAed in &swaying the Cortes, has most
probably renewed- his jesuitical efforts at negocia.
tion in a better spirit; and the .Duke de Guiche)

formerly a Captain in the 10th hussars, in the
British service, had gone, in consequence, it is
said, to Gibraltar, to try an& facilitate a treaty
with the Spanish Ministers and Cortes, which be
hoped to accomplish through the medium of our
Ambassador. The fall of Santana Was, announced
in the Moniteur also of Saturday, in a dispatch
from Hohenlohe (the brother of the great
miracle-dispenser). He found In the: place,
as he says, one thousand eight hundred men,
one hundred and fifty pieces of cannon, above ten
thousand muskets, and- a large stock of ammu-
nition. With such resources as these, unless all
other supplies were utterly exhausted) Santona
ought to'have held out much longer ; but we
are afraid treachery has dose its work within
the Spanish fortresses much more effectually than
the shot of the besiegers. The Etoile of Satur-
,day (a paper of no weight out of the circle of
Ultras) states, that an attempt was made on the
24th of September, by a part of the garrison_ of
Cadiz, to retake Sand Petri, but failed : the regi-
ment of St. Martial, it alleges mutinied on the
way ; but the Madrid militia, who formed the,
remainder of the force, and were very numerous,,
were able to disarm it; and, according to the
Mode, the rebels were decimated and ninety of
them shot. All this is not true because the
litoik alleges it ; but it is not unlikely : few of
the regular mercenaries of Spain adhered to her
cause in the day of trial ; they flinched in thou-
sands, or went over to the enemy. The regiment
of St. Martial, when ordered to a post of dan-
ger, may have exhibited the same traitorous
front; and if so, it deserved the fate that follow-
ed on the act. On its militia alone' has Spain
been able to repose with any thing like confi-
dence, and by them have her battles been fought.
It does not appear certain that Badajos and Ciu-
dad Rodrigo have fallen, or that Lopez Banos
surrendered ; this intelligence came from the
Etoile also, and it is latterly very bad au-
thority indeed. General Vigo, the Governor
of Corunna, has, it appears, been reclaimed by
the Regency, and seized by its fell agents ; his
name stands next to that of Riego in the black.
lists of death. Jaunted°, Osrna, and Calderon)
like the fell triumvirate of Augustus, Antony,
and. Lepidus, have now opened their lists of
proscription, involving all that is independent
and enlightened in Spain.; and Villele and his,
associates have giyen full reins to their merciless
career. Intelligedce has been received by Minis-
ters, of peace having been finally restored
by Lord Strangford's exertions, between
Russia and the Porte. --- The affairs of Greece
are to be finally referred, it is said, to the de-
cision of England, Austria, and Russia. Ttie latter
part of the statement wants confirmation; the
proud and insatiate Turkish Government would
scarcely refer its claim to desolate Greece to
" Christian Dogs ;" and the Greeks have won
