[NEW TIMES.]

We yesterday received the boile of Saturday
evening, with other French Papers and Letters
of that day. The Rentes closed on Friday at
t2f. 60c., and on Saturday at Inf. 55c. This
slight depression is attributed in the private let-
ters to the demands of the settling day, and not
to any political circumstances. Corunna is now
on-lei:My declared to be in the hands of the
French, as ,well as Ferrol, Vigo, Bayonn, Tuy,
&c. ; in short, The whole scene of Sir Robert
Wilson's Quixotism. Novella, Campillo, and
the Pastor, who were to have done such won-
ders against the French, have all'made their sub-
Mission jo the Regency. The Duke of Angou-
Jew had sent in his U./Um/awn to Cadiz, and,
it wac said, had allowed the Revolutionists five
days to consider of them. Meanwhile the sap.
pers were proceeding with the works necessary
for the attack, and had advanced in perfect
safety to within pistol-shot of the Trocadero._
An unreasonable impatience is expressed in
Pigland for the denouement of this affair ; and
it is ridiculous enough to hear those very
persons, who only five months ago asserted
that the French would not dare to enter

Spain, now expressing their astonishment that
the whole kingdom has not already submitted
to the Duke d'Angouleme ! We must remem-
ber the situation in which the leaders at Cadiz
are—fearful of being executed as rebels by
the King on the one hand, or of being tome
to, pieces by their deluded followers on the
other. Some of them probably have to dread pri-
vate vengeance for the cruelties which, when in
power, they practised on the Royalists ; others,
perhaps, still cherish the delirium of that republi-
can soveignty with which they invested them-
selves, but which their country, with one voice,
has renounced. We have had instances enough in
modern times, of the winding up of the Revo-
lutionary Dramas, to know that such events are
always attended with a confusion and general dis-
trust among the discomfited party. Thus it was
at the first restoration of Louis XVIII. when
Maria Louisa, Joseph Buonaparte, and Cam.
baceres, all pulled -different ways. Thus at
the second restoration of the same Monarch,
Fondle and Carnot with equal reason distrusted
each other; and, in like manner, at the re-
cent counter-revolution in Portugal, Sepulveda
abandoned the Cortes, who gave him the com-
mand of Lisbon. Probably there are not ten
persons in Cadiz who can depend on each other :
and this very uncertainty may make it very
difficult to negociate with them at all. We fear
that the lamentable tragedy of Corunna will
be repeated, that a senseless resistance will be
made ; and after much blood has been shed to no
purpose whatever, the Revolutionists will do
what they should have done at first—restore
their King to his liberty.

Demists PRESS.]
Saturday's and Sunday's French Papers will
be found in our columns. The Madrid accounts
state Corunna to be in possession of the French.
Bourck, with his division, it appears, occupied
the place on the morning of the 21st. The Go-
vernor, Novella, with the Pastor and Campillo,
had previously left Corunna, and fortunately
escaped the enemy's power. The defence of this
town, taken by surprise, shews what might have
been done in Gallicia had the traitor Morillo
proved faithful to the Constitution and his oaths ;
but the renegade dissembled, and was false from
the first, and Gallicia was stripped of all defence,
and left open to the invaders. Sunday's papers
contain letters from Perpignan to the 23d. They
state, that in attacking the right of the French
line, and marching on Calaf, the Spaniards had
principally in view the destruction of d'Eroles
and his banditti, and all accounts agree in stating
that they suffered tremendously. More than 400
of them were put hors de combat, and a greater
number wounded. The 16th French regiment of
the line suffered most severely.—The gallant
Milans, it appears, fought most determinedly and
ably; he preserves the greatest order and discipline
among his troops; nothing is wanted either of provi-
sions or money in his army ; ample supplies follow
the march of the troops ; and the movements of
the Constitutional General were all made in the
most perfect order. D'Eroles did not follow him
far. The authorities of the province, set up by
Moncey, who fled from Manresa on the approach
of Milans, left Mataro again on the 18th to re-
assume their functions. The hopes of the hated
contest within the Pyrenees ending In nego-
elation, Were not so strong and general in Paris,
on Saturday, as they had for some days pre-
viously been. The terms offered by Angouleme
were conceived to be such as the Spaniards would
not accept. These terms are said to be a promise
by the Duke, in the name of the King of France,
that the latter would engage Ferdinand VII.,
on his liberation, to declare a general am-
nesty, without exception, throughout Spain ; and
next, that the French King would also engage
that the Spanish Monarch should convoke
the ancient Cortes of the kingdom, in order
to establish, in concurrence seltb them, such
a Government as the circumstances of his sub-
jects and the light of the age demanded. That
these offers might command confidence, Angou-
hone added that he and his army would he a
guarantee for their fulfilment. His letter, it is
added, gave the Spanish Ministers five days to
decide on the acceptance or rejection of these
offers. If, at the expiration of that time, Ferdi-
nand was not liberated, Angouleme declared
that be would not listen to any terms but
unconditional submission, and would imme-
diately commence the attack upon the city.
t would be extreme weakness in the
Cortes to submit on uncertain and degrading
terms such as these ; they would have no security
for their own safety or that of the Constitution,
when the treacherous Ferdinand was at large,
surrounded by his cut-throats of the Faith. If
he refused to grant an amnesty or a constitution,
as it is most probable he would, what were the
Cortes to do ? They would be defenceless before
him and his bloody satellites. If they appealed
to Angouleme, would he turn his sword against
Ferdinand and his present allies of the Faith, to
oblige the tyrant to fulfil his broken promises ?
Any alterations that may be fairly made in the
constitution by the Cortes, can be made now.
That body may at once re-assemble, and the
modified constitution be severally signed by
the King, and countersigned as a guarantee
by A ngouletne ‘with the Ministers of France
and the coalesced Powers ; Ferdinand thus
solemnly accepting the Constitution, and, grant-
ing a general amnesty, anti the fulfilment of both
been guaranteed by Angouleme, and the repec-
live Ministers of the other Powers. The Con-
stitutionalists, their chiefs and followers, should
remain in arms until all
was secure, 1111(1 not ex-
pose themselves to persecution or outrage. It is
ridiculous in
Angouleme to menace an attack on
Cadiz ; lie cannot assault or effectually bombard
that impregnable city.
The French are stated
lose to the fort
of Trocadero ; but it would cost them a tremen-
dousto have made their approaches c
effort and sacrifice of own to obtain posses-
sion of that fortification ;
and even then they
would be near 3 miles from Cadiz, and could not
bombard the city with any effect. Bourdesoulle
knows this to
be the case, and is aware of the al-
most utter impossibility of making any impres-
sion on Cadiz, mid the negotiations, therefore,
we still think, will not terminate.

On Wednesday last, the second exhibition of
Pictures of the Northumberland Institution for
the promotion of the Fine Arts, was opened in
Newcastle-upon-Tyne. There is a much more
numerous collection than what appeared last year.
On the whole (and it is far from saying enough)
talent of no ordinary description is displayed.—
Exclusive of several excellent pictures, by native
and local artists, there are some from the supe-
rior pencils of Royal Academicians, namely
HowAtm, CooPEK, and NORTHCOTE. STARK,
of Norwich, has also furnished some beautiful
landscapes.
MELANCHOLY DEATH or CAPT. MILDMAY.—
Sunday evening Captain MunmAy, the brother
of Sir Henry Milday, after dining at the Toy,
Hampton-court, with a party, on returning to
town with some friends in two separate gigs, by
some accident was precipitated from the one he
drove. Instant assistance was procured, and he
was bled by Mr. Taylor, of New Bridge-street,
who has a residence at Hampton-wick ; but, we
are sorry to add, without effect, as he expired in
the course of the night. His loss will be sincere-
ly regretted by a numerous circle of friends.
DINGEROUS EFFECTS OF CAS.-We are in-
duced to lay before our Readers the following
account of an accident which occurred a few days
since at the house of Mr. Russell, the eminent
law-stationer, of Carey-street, Lincoln's Inn-
fields, in the hope that it will be the means of
deterring others front incautiously entering a
room in which the gas may be escaping from the
pipes. For some time a most nauseous effluvia
annoyed the inmates of Mr. lt.'s house, and at
length, under the idea that The gas had escaped
from the pipes, one of the clerks advised the ap-
plication of a candle to the joints. This was ac-
cordingly done ; but no sooner had the unfor-
tunate young man who tried the experiment
applied the candle, than an explosion took place.
His hands and face were burnt in a most dread.
ful manner, the upper part of the wainscot was
completely burnt, and the lower part very much
blistered ; the glass of the clock was broken,
and the face also much injured. What renders the
circumstance more worthy of notice is the fact, that
at the time it occurred the door of the office was
open, free vent up the fire-place as usual, and
the common current• of air in the room. We can
vouch for the truth of the above statement, and
beg to caution our Readers from following so
dangerous a practice without due caution, fraught
as it must be with the most imminent peril.—
