Rya's, OCT. s.—Count Nessclrode, before his
departure for St. Petersburg)), addressed to the
Ministers of Russia at Foreign Courts, a new
Circular on the present state of Europe.
The Moniteur contains, in its official part, a
bulletin of the Army of the Pyrenees, signed by
General Guilletninot, relative to the first essay
to bombard Cadiz, which has been related at
length by Admiral Duperre. It is nearly in the
same words as that officer's report ; men-
tioning the killing of the two men in the
longboat of the Colossus, it says, 64 This is the
only loss we have suffered in this bombardment,
which does infinite honour to the squadron, as
well as to the French and Spanish marines em-
ployed in it. It has produced a great effect
in Cadiz. All the prisoners who have escaped
from that city since it took place, say that seve-
ral houses were destroyed; and that the inhabit-
Huts are in the greatest consternation. The revo-
lutionary Chiefs employ every means to conceal
our successes, and the real state of opinion in
Sprain"

The Gazelle de Franco contains an article from
Vittoria, dated Sept. 25, by which it appears that
Mendez Vigo, Major-General, ex-Governor of
Cortinna, who was on his way to France as a
prisoner of war, was brought back to that place
under a strong escort. It is affirmed that the
Regency has claimed him, and that a courier,
bearing an order from sui erior authority, over-
took the column of prisoners three days' march
from that town.

The motive of this measure is not yet known.
According to the Restaurador (Madrid Journal),
it appears that Mendez Vigo is indicted, in con-
sequence of the investigation into the horrible
assassination of the 51 Royalists detained in the
Castle of St. Antoine at Cornana. Others say
be has been claimed by Murillo. In fact, what.
ever the motive may be, there must be very se-
rious reasons for the French thus to deliver him
up to the Spanish authorities.
