Angouleme may be,ahle to give all due form
and dispatch to, his dispositions respecting the
condition of Spain. Ferdinand, and with higo
the French Prince no doubt, were expected
to set out immediately for Madrid. It is only in
two quarters that there is now a shadow of prac-
tical resistance—the mountains of catalonia and
the city of Barcelona. From the former this ex-
press brings no accounts. It is stated that Gen.
Rotten was provisioning a fort in the latter—as if
to take refuge in it. But the firing had ceased. The
joy of the French Government " is prodigious."
Molitor is made a Marshal and a Peer of France;
five other Generals are raised to Pe'erages, and
Marshals Moncey and Lauriston decorated with
Grand Crosses. The scale of rewards is some-
what exaggerated for so inglorious a campaign.

[NEW TI Mts.]
At length the -curtain has dropped on all the
vain boasting of the Spanish Liberals. Cadiz
impregnable Cadiz, has submitted : the French
troops marched -in and took possession of -it on
: the 3d of October ; the most distinguished of
the revolutionary heroes having previously slunk
away in boats to Gibraltar ! Heroism, we were
told, had somehow or other become a scarce
commodity :in other parts of Spain; but in Ca-
diz its quintessence was, collected. There were
assembled those brave Members of the Cortes,
who had so nobly scorned the advice of the
Duke of Wellington, so indignantly rejected the
'diplomatic, notes of the Great Powers, se judi-
ciously retreated from Madrid, so manfully has-
tened from Seville, and so solemnly sworn to
bury themselves under the ruins of. Cadiz rather
than yield an iota to the invaders.: It was Ours,
that they saw the 'Trocadero 'taken under their
. very eyes—but what did that signify ? Long
after that event was known The Morning
Chronicle assured us that Cadiz could laugh a
siege to scorn. " Let us inquire," said he " into
the grounds of the apprehension ao generally en-
tertained in England of the approaching fall of
Cadiz. Can it be starved ? Can it be taken by
force ? Will it be surrendered by' treachery ?"
" That renowned city is abundantly supplied
with: provisions from Gibraltar, the coast
of Barbary, and 'other foreign places, Its
well `as' the interior of Spain." " The
inhabitants receive night- by night regular sup-
, plies of provisions."" It is'not possible for the
French to render the blockade effectual."" As
little problibility is there of a .city being taken
by force, ors by a coup de main, which is by its
position impregnable, in the best state of de.
fence, with nn adequate number of 'chosen
troops to defend its walls, well supplied with
- . •
every article necessary to sustain a siege, and
opposed by a numerical force scarcely greater
than its nWn." Besides, we were told :that the
French army themselves " dotibted
.of ultimata
success," while " the confidence and spirit of the
Spanish Patriots were augmenting day by day."
Above all, said our worthy, cotemporary; there is .
Riego, " he was, by the latest authentic accounts,
within a short distance of the army or Ballas.
terns; and the probability is that he has effected
junction with them, an event
.from which great
results way be..expected !"---"'And is it at such
period ,that the, inhabitants of the capital of
Andalusia would think of a shameful surrender
Impossible !"
