Which the ii

was celebrated with great solemnity.
The Cadiz Papers describe the troops as full of en-
thusiasm: and as hUving made several attempts to
bring the French to action, previous to the great
sortie on the 16th inst. The accounts fiom General,
ZAYAS were favourable.

A Decree had been issued, authorizing all Gover-
nors and other Authorities to expel from the territory
under their jurisdiction all foreigners, in the least
suspected as being spies.
The Espedader of the gd contains the following
information on the state of Portugal : it appears to
be much exaggerated :

" The passengers who arrived yesterday by the steam-boat
give a most melancholy picture of the state of Lisbon. The
merchants are confounded and ntortified. The army, which
suffered itself to be seduced to destroy the liberty of the country,
is in a state of complete insubordination, and everything an-
nounces that the revolution in Portugal is now only about to begin.
" At present three patties are distinguishable—namely, the

Corutitationalists, the ethologists, and a middle party, which may
be called that of the Pacificator& It appears that the Minister
Palawns leads the last. The Queen and the Infanta Don Miguel
direct the second.

1. Some of the Deputies of the Cortes are thrown into prison;
other* have fled. The Colonels of most of the Regiments have
been changed, but the soldiers refuse to recognise these new
commanders, and insist on the restored= of their old ones. In
fine, the indiscipline has reached such a height, that the partisans
of despotism publicly declare that they cannot depend on the
troops, and it is necessary to call in a foreign aimy."

Letters are said to have been received in the City
from Cadiz, to the 10th instant, bringing the follow-
ing intelligence:

" That the inhabitants of Cadiz are in the 'highest
spirits, and entertain confident hopes of compelling
the French to raise the blockade : that provisions are
in abundance; and three very large American ships,
laden with flour, had entered the port in defiance of
the French blockade. The military force is repre-
sented as consisting of 15,000 regulars, besides a nu-
merous body of militia and volunteers, amounting in
the whole to 25,000 men. General LOPEZ BANOS,
it is said, is going to be tried by a Court Martial, for
having abandoned twenty pieces of artillery, which
fell into the hands of the French,without being spiked.'

Extract of a letter, dated Cadiz, July 7:

" The steam vessel, called the Royal George, which, after
sending her passengers and letter-bag ashore, went to St. Lucar,
where the British Ambassador was, is on the eve of departure,
and has offered to take letters for Galicia and England. An
English cutter also went there, as the Ambassador was waking
for answers to his dispatches, which in all probability were
brought by this cutter. In La Isla de Leon, which is now in
an infinitely superior state of defence to what it was during the
late war, the organization of the army is carrying on with the
greatest activity—a measure deemed the more necessary, be-
cause it had arrived in detached portion of several regiments,
which rendered it necessary to introduce something like system
before we chew the French what metal we are made of. The
French are unable, with the small number of forces they have
in this quarter, to cover lines so extended, in consequence of
which we receive abundant supplies of provisions. The present
Ministry is composed of the best men who can be had, and they
arc by no means idle.
" As for this place, lithe French had four times the number
of troops around us, as far as main force goes, we should bid
them defiance. Our fortifications are infinitely stronger than
they were during the last war, and we can man our walls with ,
15,000 determined fellows, most of whom have something to
lose. We have our ramparts crowned with at least 2,000 places
of artillery, and abundance of small arms for local service. Be-
fore the end of the week we shall have at least eighty gun-boats
under sail, armed each of them with an la, 24, or 32-pounder,
capable of raking the ships of these fresh water sailors in a calm,
and make them keep in the offing. They are disarming the Asia
man of we. to make use of her artillery in this service, and we
are in no want of sailors. This armament is preparing at the
expense of the city, whose authorities conduct themselves in the
most patriotic manner. As to provisions, we are as amply sup-
plied as any town in Europe, and we laugh at the French paper
blockade. All the Deputies in the Cortes, who were military
men, have gone to the lines in front of La Isla, including Gene-
ral Alava."

" Caen, July 18,1843.

" In the harbour of Havre there is at present much bustle, oc-
casioned by a great many American ships which are discharging
their cargoes, consisting principally of cotton. The quantity of
that article is so great, that it is actually piled- on the quays in
immense heaps, larger almost than ordinary hay stacks. The
inner harbour, which is of a prodigious size, is literally tilled with
the French ships With their masts struck, and awnings over them,
laid up as useless, owing to the Spanish war, which is, in this
part of the country, unpopular with aU ranks, classes, and pro-
fessions. I understand an immense nn,mber of workmen have
been discharged from the different manufactories in this part of
France, and that a considerable number of Englishmen, whO
were employed as eotton-spinners, hatters, dtc. have returned
home, not being any longer able to find employment here."
