[TUE TIAtES.I.
The French papers of Wednesday contain some
particulars, not official., and very scanty, of the
attack. and capture of the '1 rocadero. Accord-
ing to tboi., accounts; the loss in the French
army did not amount to more than 40 killed :ind
100 wonnit,d, Wilds tilt. Spaniards are to
have had 500 killed and• wounded. The forts of
St. Louis and 11atagorda have also, it is stated,
fallen into their hands. A French bulletin has
never been remarkable for accuracy, but we con-
fess we PIV not without fear that too much of the
present report is true. We fear that the state of
things is the very reverse of what it ought to be:
we fear that the French army isi enthusiastic in
its object, and that the Spaniards are in con-
sternation. indeed, the, perfidy already evinc-
ed by so many constitutional leaders is enough to
damp the ardour and paralyze the efforts of
the troops. We wait with anxiety for the news
from Cadiz. In the narrative of the actions,
Prince Cariguatt is said to have been prodi-
gious valiant, and, like Prince V.olscius, to have
lost a boot in tire mud. If this worthy had
fought as zealously for the honour and freedom
of his own country, as he is represented to have
fought in the cause of unprovoked aggression,
ills lattreti would have been worth something
at present he has only earned the more shame,
in proportinn to the energy of his exertions.
Poor llaineltn, who was displaced from the com-
mand of the fleet, is said to have died of a brain
fever. Doneadieu has also been put on the shelf,
but has 101 good an opinion of himself to run
any- risk of failing u vietim to mental anxiety.

[NEW TIMES.]
A report prevailed yesterday hi the City
that Cadiz bad capitulated ; but the steady
price of ':Consols seemed to indicate that little
faith was phiced in that rumour by the persons
hest capable of judging ; and our private letters
from Paris hold out no idea of so early a sub-
mission. The details of the capture of the
Trocadero had produced a strong sensation
fu the Ft ouch capital, both on account of the
magnitutl:, ef the achievement and of the in- •
comi(l,i id/11. loss on the part of the French,'
which to out to have been-unighified by The
Times tomtit fifteen to one. T 6 French Funds
partook of the general feeling of confidence.

o'clock Al,. oar. oc. exclusive of the dividends
and they clo,ed,at 00f. 55c.—The Restaurador,
a Mailrid Journal, of the sth instant contains an
official article on the capture of the Trocadero,
which states that the whole-of that peninsula fell
into the hands of the French, and that forts Louis
and Matagorda were abandoned by the enemy.
—The Republican troops were in clamber 1700,
of whom only 350. escaped ; their. Commander,

The number of killed and wounded on the part
of the French is stated at 140. All accounts

the utmost personal bravery. fie marched at
the head of his troops, in the hottest fire ; and
an officer was shot dead by his side. The intre-
pidity which he displayed animated his soldiers

of Prince Hilt recoils on the hend of its despi-
cahle`inventor ; for Englishmen will scorn the

sin of a brave man's reputation.

[BRITISH PRESS.]
The war in the Peninsula. begins to assume a
decided character. In looking at the situation
of the French army before Cadiz,it. is impossible
not to feel coivinced that 'some linportant event
, .must ere long take place., We do net anticipate
that the army of Angoulerne will succeed iu any
attack thatimay be made On Cadiz ; on the other
hand, if all be right within its walls—if traitors
do not inhabit there—.-the cause of Constitutional
Spain is yet farJroin hopeless. Our private ad-
vices represent the devotiOn of the Curtes and
the army as' at the highest pitch ; and all concur
in stating that the town is well provisioned,
and in every way prepared successfully to re-
sist the besiegers. Hoping then (and believing)
that this is , the truth, we anxiously look
forward to the repulse of the Bourbon
army, and its consequent abandonment of the
siege. In Paris it is well known that the King
and the Ministry are quite tired of the war;
not that they are tired of attempting to de-
stroy the liberties of Spain, but they sicken at the
cost of the undertaking, and are possibly notquite
prepared -to .meet the Chambers, which will as-
semble, it is understood, much sooner than was ex-
pected, in consequence of the exhausted state of
the Treasury, and the probability of large sup-
plies being required for a second campaign
next year. One thing is beyond dispute, the
conviction of which has greatly disturbed the
French Ministry, that unless Angouleme be
powerfully reinforced, he cannot hope to main-
tain himself in the heart of the Peninsula: his
army has been drendfully,thinned by the climate
and 'the- sword ; the last advices from Bayonne
confirm this statement, by informing us that de-
tochments of sick from the army arrived there C 011;.
tinually ; that the hospital 'was full ; and that num-
bers had been sent to the neighbouring town. Or the
destruction by the sword, some idea may be formed
by referrins, to the continued sorties from Barce-
lona, the Sen, F'igueras, Pampelund, &c. ; and-
lastly, by the slaughter of the Trocadero. The
Moniteur of Wednesday, in its non-official part,
puts forth this palpable falsehood—that the loss
of the French in the affair of the 31st was only 40
killed and 100 wounded,: and yet these same
accounts tell Hi, that the resistance of the
Spaniards was most determined, and that
their cannoniers braved death at their guns,
and that their loss was estimated at 500 killed
and prisoners, In the best-informed circles
of Paris, however, it is positively stated that the
French loss at the Trocadero amounted to tip.
wards of 1,500; and that this circcumstance had
powerfully inclined the Ministry to negotiation.
We perceive hy ‘Vednesday's Papers that Sir
Charles Stuart had an audience of Louis XVI I I.
on Tuesday lust ; various reports are in circula-
`ion as to the object of this interview ; one report

is, that Sir Charles presented a remonstrance to
the French King against the Spanish war, whilst
others assert that Louis sent for the British Am-
bassador and the Minister of the Regency for the
purpose of opening a new negociation with the
Cortes. Admiral Hamelin, who was recently
removed from his command otT Cadiz, is said by
the Paris Journals to have died of a brain fever.
This officer was removed from his station for not
vigorously maintaining the blocade of Cadiz.

siderable disadvantage, could ,have sustained
no greater loss in killed and wounded, than
about one4hird of that .number ? Somucluthen
for Freqch veracity. It will be recollected that
during the last war waged by Buonaparte against
Spain, the Trocadero was taken, with scarcely any
opposition, and yet that capture did not facilitate
the progress of the French towards Cadiz, against
which they carried an ineffectual siege for about
two years. short the only advantage they
have now gained is, the taking of some prisoners,
and several pieces of cannon, not one of which
can be of any service to them in carrying on the
bie.ge of Cadiz ; for their shot will not reach that
city, even from. Matagorda or Caracca, which
:places are still to be taken. It may, however,
redound-•to the fame of the French, that their
Generalissimo, the Duke d'Angoulen►e, behaved
with great gatlantry during tl►e attack on the
Trocadero. This is also some advantage ; but our
,readers may .be assured that, if the garri-
son of Cadi2 be resolved to defend that place,
the French will not be able to effect their object,
except by a general blockade, that must even-
tually produce starvation among the troops and
the inhabitants, For some time past we have
had no communication► from our private corres-
pondent at Madrid ; a circumstance which we
can uccourit for only by supposing that his letters
have beenintercepted by the police of that city ;
and irr that case we have a right to inft-r, that no
event in any degree particularly favourable to the
French arms has yet taken place.

[-stottNING cfittoNta.t.]
The Etoilc received yeSter(lay furnishes some
additional'particulars relating to the capture of
the Trocadero, whit!), however, instead of throw-
ing light on the contents of the telegraphic dis-
patch first transmitted to Paris, render it still
more confused, owing to the numerous incon-
sistencies and improbabilities with which they
abound. These details are contained in a let-
ter from Port St. Mary's, dad August 31st,
the day on which the Trocadero was car-
ried ; bute.the writer seems more intent on
flattering the Duked'Angouleme for,his military ,
prowess on this occasion, than actuated by,a'wish
to convey information respecting the engagement.
At first we were told that the coup de niain was
effected in the Duke's presence ; now his friends
wistrus to believe that, as soon as the bridge was
thrown across the mut, he 46 placed himself at
the head of his troops," and actually commanded
the storming party. This is a bold enterprise for
a Bourbon Generalissimo; whose ardour, how-
ever great it might !lava been, could never leave
allowed him to venture on such a hazardous duty.
The compliment 'to Prince Carignan also appears
a, little far-fetched.--:—Whatevec consequences the
French may wish to draw from the capture of
the Trocadero, they are compelled to acknow-
ledge the bravery with which the Spaniards de,
fended their position. " The Spanish cannoniers
braved death at their guns," they themselves ad-
mit. " Eventually all were killed or made pH-
soners," they also add. Under the disadvantages,
therefor of an advance along a level stir.
face, and the casualties of an assault, it must
notessarily be concluded that the loss -of
the _French in killed- wounded, and drowned,
(Mist have been enormous ; and any attempt
nbw to disguise the 'faCt is therefore ridiculous.
It loin not, however, be possible to come at
the truth of this affair till- we have some arrival
from Cadiz. In the mean time, all the advices
through a Continental channel can only be sub-
jects for conjecture, as they must abound with

imprlbabilities and exaggerations, which the
Fren h have always so largely dealt in since they
trod the Peninsula.—A. reconnoitering party is
also announced as having advanced on La Caraca,
the large dock-yard situated on the other side
of the river Sand Petri, the Waters of which
leave it on the west, and those of the Soa
The other space, through

which troops could advance, consists of salt
marshes. This movement, it k natural to con-
elude, was intended only as a diversion, whilst
the main object was executing. Should, how-
ever, the French get possession of La Carach, the
island of Leon is still separated from them by a
basin, 900 feet long, and 600 broad, from which are
cut two canals, the one running into La Caraca, and
the other into the sea. This consequently, is
not a military position that can prove alarming
to the garrison of La Isla. As might be expect-
ed, the French have lost no time iNgiving a de-
gree of importance to the possession of an isolated
poi nt,in which, after their enormous loss, they may
receive infinitely more injury than they can cause
to their enemies, particularly if they make it a basis
for operations extending beyond a simple attempt
to bombard. The Trocadero, and the strip of ad-
joining land on which Matagorda originally stood,
are completely commanded by the Puntales forts;
and the Spanish gun-boats plying in the outer
bay. The crisis in Cadiz, however, =is fast ap-
proaching, and the only alternative now left
the-French is roam force-. They have totally
failed in their plans of bribery and in-
trigne, as we announced they would, and it has
proved impossible to blockade the harbour with
any hopes of a speedy result. They have like-
wise discovered that the Constitutionalists assem-
bled in the Gaditanean Island are not to be in-
timidated by threats,
or cajoled by deceptiie
promises. The enemy must now, therefore, dis.
play his strength and energy, and, besides, no
time must be lost, for the ground he now occupies
is extremely unhealthy, even to persons accUs-
tomed to live

OLD BAILEY SESSIONS.

CHARGE OF MURDER.
[FURTHER PARTICULARS.I

Yesterday Wm. Briton Dyson was indicted for the wilfu
murder of Eliza Anthony.
Mr. WALronD stated the case for the prosecution.
Mr. ADOLPHUS-and Mr. ANDREWS appeared for the pri-
soner.

The prisoner, a respectable looking young man, genteelly
dressed in black, listened with 'profound attention to the ad-
dress of the Learned Counsel for the prosecution. While the
Counsel was detailing the facts of the case about to be proved
in evidence, the . prisoner betrayed considerable emotion, his
features being much agitated, and a death-like paleness per..
'vaded his countenance.

Elizabeth Bell examined—Knows the prisoner; and also
knew the deceased, Eliza Anthony—they lived together as man
and wife: -On the 25th July they -a-ere both at witteis's house
—they seemed very dejected—said they were going to the play
—did not speak to the deceased—he stopped about five minutes,
when they went away—saw the prisoner again about one
o'clock in the middle of the night—he came to her apartment
very wet. Witness said to him, Where is Eliza r He
-said, " Poor thing ! she is no more—she is drowned." Wit-
ness then went up stairs, and got a light—when she came down
prisoner said deceased had drowned herself, and he could not
save her.

(The prisoner wns .here indulged with a chair.)
Witness continued—The prisoner told witness that he meant
to make away with himself; that he was in much distress,—he
used language somewhat incoherent, which witness could not
comprehend; witness could not persuade him to pull off his
clothes for several hours ; he had been in distressed circum-
stances for some time. _

Cross-examined by Mr. AltnnEws—The distress appeared
great. Witness had been on intimate terms with prisoner, with
whom she had words on account of his extraordinary affection
for the deceased. It had been agreed that the deceased should
sleep with witness the night Eliza was drowned ; witness sat
up for that purpose ; it was quite clear he had been completely
immersed in water; lie wished witness to give information to'
every body, and particularly to the mother of deceased ; wit-
ness went to the mother, who lives in Boswell-court, Carey-
street; the mother came and brought an officer; he never went
away, but sat waiting for the arrival of an officer; he was of a
most humane disposition, and would not hurt a worm.
William Williams swore that he lived at No. 12, Sherrard-
street—prisoner and deceased lived at his house. as man and
wife for three months—never knew a better pair of people in
his life—leer affection was extraordinary, and he gave them
extra indulgence on account of his strict regularity—never saw
the mother of Anthony at their apartments.
By the CounT—Did not know that he cohabited with Mrs.
Bell.

Frances Hopkins examined—Witness lives in the same house
with Mrs. Bell—saw the prisoner the morning he came home
wet—gave him her place in her bed, which he reluctantly ac-
ceptedlie was wet all over.
By the,CounT —His hat was as wet as his elothes—it was
near two o'clock when he came in-,-at first she was aSleep—
heard him say Eliza was drowned before site had well,;opened
her eyes—he went out of the room while she dressed herself.
Robert Ramsey examined—Witness is a watchman stationed
in Jermyn-street. On the morning of the Ilfith he saw the pri-
soner, about half-past one—heard hint exclaim, " What have
I..done ? oh, dear,. oh, .dear !"—Witnesa said,..it Vow have
done something lam sure"—he rung at the-bell of Mrs. Bell's
house, and said it was 411 right,-.a person came up-at the throe,
named Holliday, who said the prisoner's name was Dyson—
Holliday said to him, " That is your wife, Lbellete, wbo lives
above tne."—Mrs. Bell came down and let him in--theupper
part of his clothes were not wet—not above his waist--witness
stood by him two minutes—did not notice the lower part of his
raiment.
Cross-examined by 1111'. ANDREWS—NeVn was examined
before the Magistrate or Grand Jury—this was his first account
—saw the prisoner about half-past one; as already stated—the
gas-light was close by,-there was nothing which induced him
to notice his clothes—never handled him—all he meant to say
was, that he did not know the clothes were wet-would not
swear that lie had not been in the water—did not observe his
hat—would not swear that the lower part of his clothes Wen wet.
John Bayne watchman to the Speaker of the House of Com-
mons, stated that on the night of the 25th and morning of the
26th of July, he was on duty. Witness heard, on the night in
question, a cry of murder, front st female voice—saw a man
among the boats at this time—could not see whether it was the
outside boat—heard the man cry
out, "Eliza, Eliza, my dear!"
The intervening space was lee
yards—heard him cry for help
several times. Could not go to his assietance, because he was
locked in the, garden. It was low
water, but the tide was
coming up_it was a calm night.
George Salloway, a waterman, deposed that he moored his
boat under the arch of Virestminster-bridge, at ebb tide—found
the boat the . next morning near Old Palace-yard, in deep
water—it was 10U yards from where he left it. On his- way
to Vauxhall next morning he found a bonnet under the seat—
.the boat was very dirty—it appeared as though there had been
a scuffle between two persons. There are piles near the Speaker's
wall, where a person might get a bruise. The bonnet now pro-
duced was that he found in the boat.

By Mr. ANDREWS—It WAS high water that moruing a little
after four o'clock.

BY the Corwr—A person going frOM the. stairi!to the boat
might get mud on their shoes—mud appeared to have been
scraped Willie shoes on tbe .backboard,-in plunging into the
river the feet' might go against that part 'of the boat.
Samuel Wilson, a waterman, stated that, from his know.
ledge of the river, the boat of last witness would scarcely have
been afloat. It would at half-past one, but at that time there
would not be sufficient water to drown a person.
By Mr. ANDBEws—If a body had fallen into the water, it
would have floated,upwards with the title.
. Several medical gentlemen were then examined who had
seen the body, and whoxipiessed.ratlier a:different opinion as
to some black marks observed under the deceased's eye. Some
of them thought they were from external violence—others not;
the besftestimony was on the latter side.
Mr. Stirling, the Coroner, produced the notes of the pri-
soner's confession at the Coroner's Inquest. He afterwards
requested to make a statement relative to the body. He had,
as Coroner, seen many drowned persons, whose bodies
hited such appearances in a shorter time, where there was. no
idea of suspicion.
His Lordship considered this to be a very important state-
ment. . .
Mary Johnson Anthony, a decent woman, stated •that she
was the mother of the deceased, with whom the prisoner wished
to =tract marriage, buf she (witness) refused.
This was the case for the prosecution.
The PriSoner made no defence.

The following witnesses to character were called:—
William ,Frederick Duncan proprietor of the St. Alban's
Coffee-libuse, stated that the prisoner formerly lived in his set.
tice—he was an execedingly:liumane man. • -
Thomas Pugh, and William Wyatt, a publican, gavesimilar
testimony.,

.....
Thomas 'Wait, a servant, had known him ten years—he was
a kind-hearted man.

Mr. Wood, .who had been examined for the prosecution, gave
the prisoner an excellent character.

Mr. Justice REST proceeded to sum up the evidence at a
quarter before, one o'clock. His Lordship observed that it was
an important charge, and required the utmost attention. The
first qUestion is—By what means did the deceased come by her
death ? Then another question arose—Did the prisoner force
her into the water P If so 'the prisoner was:guilty,of.tuurtler—
Agalii,lfthey had mutually agreed to dr6wn themselves, and
when the prisoner came into the water took care to save him.
self, he would advise the Jury to find him guilty, end he would
take care that execution should be stayed, in order that the
opinion of the twelve Judges might be taken on the point he
would reserve, provided they found him guilty on that consi-
deration alone. There was still another point. Supposing the
deceased and prisoner went there for the purpose of destroying
themselves, and the deccaseji threw herself in on her own ac-
cord, that would' nor constitute the crime of murder. His
Lordship would read over every word of the evidence which had
been adduced on this momentous and painful inquiry, which
he did with his usual perspicuity, making suitable observations
as he proceeded.
The July, after consulting for some time, retired, and in
about: 25 Minutes found a special verdict of Guilty, on the
ground that the prisoner and the, deceased went to the boat for
the purpose of drowning themselves';. but subject •to the opinion
of the twelve Judges.
The Court was crowded to excess. During the absence of
the. Jury, the prisoner (who was very thoughtful throughout
thelrial) appeared by the motion of his lips, to be engaged in
prayer; He left the bar withouterincing any material change
of countenance.
It is but justice to remark, that, owing to the prisoner's po.
verty, Mr. Humphrey, the attorney, from a conviction that
the prisoner originally intended to drown himself With the
young woman, defended his cause throughout all its stages
gratuitously.
