TILE NEGOCIATIONS PRECEDING THE
SURRENDER OF CADIZ.
FROM A MORNING PAPER.

We learn, through a direct channel from Cadiz (the
particulars have also been confirmed to us from Gibral-
tar), that the negotiations were renewed between the
contending parties, in consequence of the taking of the
Trocadero, which was made a fresh pretext for them.
It appears certain that the King of Spain himself re-
newed the correspondence which had been abruptly
broken off, by writing another letter to the Duke d'An
gouleme, the date of which, if we mistake not, was the
sth of September. In this letter, which was confided
to General Alava, the King urged and solicited that an
armistice might be agreed upon, adding, " that during
the suspension of hostilities, he trusted it would be pos-
sible to agfee on such terms as would lead to the nego-
elation and conclusion of a peace mutually decorous."
General Alava carried with him ptivate instructions
and powers, in case an opportunity presented itself, to''
agree as to the form and bases of the. armistice thus
proposed, yet unprovided with any :authority to pro-
mise a variation in the Constitution, the occupation of
La Isla, or indeed of any other point that altered the
position of the French from the uti possidefis at the mo-
utent the armistice was agreed upon. This autograph,
letter of the King announced that General Alava was
the bearer, and if sticceesrul, besides the ordinary
de-
tails, he was empowered to regulate the duration of the
armistice, as well as the terms and conditions on which
it was to be made general throughout Spain.
General. Alava was politely received ; but when the
object of his mission had been considered by the Duke
d'Angouleme, the proposed negociation was rejected,
and he was sent back with a communication shot t and
haughty, in whictr the King and the Constitutional Go-
vernment were told that " the sine qua non bases of any
armistice and negociation which could be accepted were,
first, the liberation of the King:; and, secondly, the occu-
pation of the Gaditanian Island by, the French troops."
General Alava arrived at Cadii with this perplexing
note, and in one equally laconic, dated the Bth, the
King returned an answer, in which he stated, " that it
was necessary to um*etnnd vhat the Deice d'Angout

To this letter the Duc d'Angouleme gave. a Rat de-
nial, at the same time announcing.that he eould enter
'into no further " pour-parlere until the Kieg as in
the midst of his own army ; and moreover, that if a de-
finitive answer Was not returned to his last
:proposition
within five hours, the operations of attack would be
carried on with the utmost activity, rigour would be
enforced; further intimating, that in case things were
pushed to extremities, and the means of assault were
resorted to, the usual consequences inseparable from
such a state of things might be expected.
Finding matters in this state, General Alava returned
the same day, the 9th, announcing that the negotiations
were again broken off. In the means bile, a Note had
been addressed to Sir Wm. A'Court, soliciting him to
offer the same terms, in the !lime of his Government,
to the French Generalissimo, and requesting him at the
same time to send a vessel of war to the Bay of Cadiz,
in order to facilitate the interview above alluded to.—
Sir Wm. A'Court, we understand, readily acceded to
the proposal, and wrote to the Duc d'Angnuleme, bat
without obtaining a satisfactory answer, the French still
persisting on unconditional submission ; for the terms
proposed by them. as they appear in the above narra-
tive, can be taken in no other lig!t.
Things were in this state at Cadiz in the'middle of
September. just before the taking of Sand- Petri on the
16th, and the bombardment by the. French naval force .
on the 233. In the meantime the situation of the
Cortes and the Government was truly critical and de-
plorable. The forced loan, unwillingly levied, and re-
luctantly paid, had already been expended—and the mea-
sure itielf, a recurrence to which could not be avoided,
had rendered the principal inhabitants inimical to a
protracted defence, as they apprehended a repetition,
were daily more convinced of the dreadful exigency of
the Government, and beheld with alarm the increasing
and formidable preparations of the enemy. The troops
were suffering under the greatest privations, and con-
stantly instigated by the corrupt agents of the French,
or.the grovelling fanatics within the town. Fresh pro-
visions also began to be scarce and exorbitantly dear,
and consequently only within the reach of a few. These
privations, added to the desponding accounts reining
in from all the provinces, except Catalonia, and the
dread of another bombardment, terrified the rabble,
disheartened the wealthy, and deprived the GoVern-
ment of the moral influence necessary to prolong the
resistance. The Cadiz Militia was besides in a very:in-
different state of discipline, and badly affected ; one or
two battalions of the line were also watering, so much
so, that one of them, the San Marcial, refused to march.
when it was resolved to attempt the retaking of Sand
Petri. The loss of men in the Trocadero, the drafts
sent with Generals Riego and Zayas, as well as several
desertions, had moreover reduced the efficient troops to
a very small number, of which the following may be
considered a pretty correct return:

Y 409 •
The total effective garrison of Cadiz, on which re-
liance at least could be placed, in case of attack, there-
fore scarcely exceeded 6,000 men, who had ro cover
lines equal to twenty-tour miles in extent, with many
accessible points, particularly by sea, to defend which
only forty gun-boats were left. In fact, of the troops
above enumerated, the Madrid and Seville militia were
perhaps the only ,corps in whisk implicit confidence
could be placed. The former, in a more particular
ztainer, had uniformly distinguished themselves, both
in the capital on the memorable 7th of July, and in the
sorties, as well as in several actions which had taken
place with the trench in front of La Isla By their di.-
cipline and steadiness they had proved themselves equal
to the best troops of the line, and chosen from among
the best families in their native cities, bytheir civic vir-
tues they had shown themselves deserving.of the name
of free citizens, and worthy of being called the.core-
panions of Alma's soldiers. h was the firmness and
devotion of the Madrid and Seville militia which pre-
vented the surrender of 'Cadiz, from the moment the
place wet-regularly invested by the enemy, and what-
cam may. now- be their, face, or the • condiact of other
'tagps,: which they would -no longeloconsider at being
°worthy of the name of countrymen, they art deierving bt
the esteem and gratitude of keen ea of every Clime.
