Extract, from the Morning Popers, October 10.

(*to aN ma exam cm)
The surrender of Cadiz was confidently an-
uounced yesterday' on 'Change, but though the
arrival of the King at Port St. Mary's will in all
probability lead to this result, thwannouncement
would appear to be premature. The number of
the Courier Francois containinfr a translation of
the document which appeared in The Chrohiele
of tho '.2tl October, along with the letter of the
Dake d'Angottleme and Ferdinand's answer,
namely, the " Extract of a Letter known to con-
tain 'the sentiments of the Spanish Government,
and the Leailers of the popular cause," has been
seized. Niter so many measures of the
French Government of 4 similar character,
we ought not perhaps to be surprised, that the
Bourbon Government should be mean enough to
wish to su ppresii the statements of the Government
with which they are at war. The Constitutionnel
contains a curious article on the issue of the late
negotiations between Russia, Turkey, and Per-
sist: That Persia has been a puppet in the hands
e Russia, in making war and pence, without any
hitensible reason for either, will be easily believ-
ed by all who have paid any attention to the af-
fairs of the East. The motive, however, for the
sudden change in the policy of Russia affords room
for some speculation. We have always said that
the independence of the Greeks was the very last
thing that Russia wished for, and that consequently
nothing could be more painful to her than their
successes. If the Turks had succeeded in bring,
itig them again under the yoke, the scenes which
took place in the Morea when Russia formerly
stimulated them to rise, and which took place
lately in Scio, would have been renewed, and
this would have afforded a pretext for Russian
interference, which it would have been difficult
for any third Power to resist. Fortune however
has, on the contrary, declared in favour of the
Greeks, to an extent which very few anticipated;
and the object of Russia can only now be answered
by setting the hands of the 'I rks at liberty:74ms-
Isla is too well acquainted with her own weakness
to attempt to invade Turkey, except untleoifitty
favourable circumstances, such as the entaiiO.
mint of England in a war affording full occiifia-
tion to her. Probably it was expected that
England would be involved in the Spanish Con-
test. We hope Russia will he diSappointed in
her views with, respect to the Greeks, and that
this interesting people will succeed in establish.
ing their independence. We know that they
will be contented with nothing short of complete
independence.

From A Gentlemon in whom WP have the ut-
most confitlence,iust arrived from Commie., which
Ito left on the ',Nth September, we have received
the following information respecting' 'the state of
things in that part of Spain
',"rhostf inlatgland who suppose that the Constitutional
System is at an, end,. In consequence of the occupation by the
enemy agorae principal towns in Spain, are mistaken; on
the contrary, the 'politic spirit is only far a time laid, and the
mask having been thrown from those who were before only sus-
peered, will benefit' rather than injure the oanstittitionalParty,
vrho are only waiting the arrival of that opportunity that is so.

rigour against the oppresiors of their'
,liberty.

feigned), that is an often marked iit that country, but no! not

have been dismissed from impleyment, even against the articles
of capitulation, that the Captain-General has now two enemies
fat one he had before. General liourk, eon-intending the French
(althaugh'ari enernY), was held in moth deserved' estimation,
and the French troops altogether were much more respected
than those eliuntiiikis who accounienied Morino.. General
Mark left Commie' some time back for Madrid; and hisitic-
