MADRID, SEPTEMBER 30.

Government has received news direct from Cadiz of
the 23d. The bombardment caused the greatest con-
fusion in that town, but the King and all the Royal Fa-
mily did not run any danger. The Generals and Naval
Officers have ascertained as certain, that Cadiz can be
easily bombarded. The Marquis of Talaru arrived at
Xeres on the 24th, and the following day went to the
Duke del Infantado, with whom he had a long cons
ference, at which the Minister of War assisted. On the
23d and 25th there arrived at Port Saint Marie more
than 100 persons who escaped, by gold, from Cadiz. All
the inhabitants are in their cellars, and the Members of
the Cortes have proposed to hold their Sittings in a
cavern. It is not doubted that a few hours' bombard-
ment will reduce these mutineers. The people only
wait for the signal of revolt to deliver the King.
In the Opposition journals of yesterday,we read a long
arti.le on Spain. It is stated that Badajoz, Cadiz,
Ciudad Rodrigo, Carthagena, Alicant, Lerida, Tarra-
gona, Barcelona, and Seu, remains yet to be taken.
General La Rochejacqueliu has joined General O'Don-
nd, and shut up in Ciudad Rodrigo the troops of the
Empecinado, where they will be obliged to surrender.

FROM THE COURIER FRANCAIS.

PARIS, OCTOBER 6.

The Report of Vice-Admiral Duperre on the esperi-
meat made before Cadi; with our bombarding flotilla, is
too short, and too meagre in its details, to satisfy en-
tirely public curiosity. The distance of 800 toises, at
which the bomb-vessels were placed, was a proper dis-
tance for throwing the projectiles with advantage. It
would have been des;rable that the Report should have
made known the precise position which was taken up
by the bomb-vessels, if they were to the south or the
north of the town. We have already pointed out the
positions from which alone Cadiz could be bombarded
from the sea, and we should like to know which of these
'two was the one taken up ?

If the Journal des Debats may be credited, it was near
the rocks called Puercos and Cochinos wherethe bomb
vessels were placed. In this case they must have an-
chored about 800 toises from the city, for the Puercos
are situated at more than 700, not from the houses, but
from the ramparts of the town, and the Cochinos are at
800 toises from the same ramparts. , Another passage
of the Journal des Debats appears to prove evidently that
our bomb vessels were posted further off than it before
said. In fact, it announces that the twenty gun-boats
which formed in a line for the protection of the town,
fired without success at our vessels, in consequence of
the great distance they were from our line (about 1,000
toises), or if there were 1,000 toises between our line
and the Spanish line of gum boats under the walls of the
place, the distance must have been greater even than

,000 toises between our bomb vessels and the ramparts.

It now often happens that the Journal des Debats
contradicts the official Journal, which is not astonishing,
but it ought not to contradict itself within the compass
of eight lines. Not having any precise information, it
may be conjectured that Admiral Duperre placed his
bomb-vessels on the bank, called El Frayle, which is to
the south-east of the Puercos and Cochinos, and in
nearly the same line as these shoals.
