This forenoon we received intelligence from Bayonne
to the 23d instant, with accounts from Madrid to the
'jar. It would appear that some of the Constitu-
tionalists in the capital do not consider their cause as
hopeless even if Cadia should fall and the KING be given
up. The following is the substance of our Bayonne
intelligence :

BAYONNE, SEPTEMBER 23.
The mail from Madrid brings letters of the 18th,
which do not contain much news, but are chiefly filled

with statements of the opinions entertained by the ad-
vel-se parties in the present state of affairs in Spain, and
their probable result ; as they seem to be fairly stated
we give an extract from them, though we cannot of
course guarantee the authenticity of these facts, and some
of them, namely, whit is said of Riego and Ballasteros,
now appear to be erroneous.—" The opinion of the
'Royalists, of the friends of arbitrary power, and of the.
.French, that the war will be speedily terminated, gains
ground daily, so that on the slightest rumour of the ar-
rival of a Mail, or of an Express from Port St. Mary,
crowds of people hasten to the Post-Ofiice, to inquire
•whether Cadiz has not submitted ; whether iris not all
over ?" In fact, we might be tempted to think their hopes
well founded, if we did not hear what the other party say.
The Royalists say., their adversaries being destitute of
srpport, both at home and abroad, without .troops to
keep the field; without the assistance of the people, who
aTe entirely governed by the Priests and Moilks, are re-
duced to a few fort, esses, which, for want of relief will

fall one after the other. 4, When Cadiz is taken and the
king•free, all will be finished," they say : and this they
expect from day to day, and from hour to hour-Ist,
from the great force by, sea and , laad, which the
French have collected there ; mod, because there is a great
difference of opinion in the Cortes; sd, because the
hoops of the garrison are very discontented, and 'have'
already .detrainded the head of Valdei and other revo-

.

lutionists ; and 4th, because the inhabitants of Cadiz
will never suffer thlltt fine City to be bombarded from
the foolish resistance of a few violent men. A report
has been again spread here, that negotiations were on
foot, under the mediation of England, but the agents
of the Regency immediately contradicted this news
with contempt.

The Constitutionalists on their side say, that the war
would not be terminated even if Cadiz had the weakness
to submit, and to &liver up the King, which they will
not believe, because they say Cadiz possesses too many
means of making a good resistance,:and nobody will
vote for submitting, not even the inhabitants, the majo-
rity of whom are devoted to the good cause, and form
part of the national guard, which has always been the
bulwark of the Constitution in that City. Besides, if
Cadiz were taken, there are still Alicant, Carthagena,
Badajoz, and Ciudad Rodrigo, which are in a good
state of defence, especially the first three: in Andalu-
sia there are Riego and LI illasteros, who have resumed
offensive operations, and several guerillas, which will
increase at the approach of winter in Estremadura,
there arc Lopez Banos and the Empecinado, who have
just obtained a considerable advantage over Quesada :
and if all this should fail, we have, say they, Catalonia,
which will be the bulwark of Liberty, where the army
of Mina becomes the rendezvous of all the fugitives
and military of all ranks, who disapproving what they
call the treason of Morillo and others, repair to Cata-
lonia, in spite of a thousand obstacles and dangers.
Thus, on the 9th of this mouth, says the Saragossa
Garette of the 15th, two hundred men of the army of
Ballasteros arrived at Lerida, and the Constitutionalists
even fancy that if King Ferdinand were restored to
.liberty their ranks would be swelled by numerous fugi-
tives, who might have reason to fear the vindictive.,
spirit which would probably animate some of his impo-
litic advisers. The number of persons who are destitute
of employment is very great, so that recruits will never
be wanting : the French may, therefore, prepare fresh
troops and more treasures, to continue the war, but
the end of it is not so near : the Constitutionalists,
beaten at one point, will recover strength in another,
and all the success hitherto obtained has not brought
us nearer to the main point, the pacification of the
country. General Boarcke is on his way to Madrid with
2500 men.

The Duke of Reggio is still here. Our garrison con-
sists of only 2,500 French, and 1,200 men of the Army
of the Faith.

O'Donnell is still in the environs of Ciudad Rodrigo,
but does not blockade it.

It is said, that on the arrival of General Bourckei a
corps will be sent on an expedition to Estremadura, and
that 3,000 Portuguese are to blockade Badajoz. The
correspondence with the Cabinet of Lisbon is very active,
The garrisons of Alicant and Carthagena come into
the plains as they please. The provinces of Murcia and
Andalusia are not more governed by the Regency than
the Constitutionalists: they are in a state of anarchy.
SEPTEMBER 21.—We have just learned that. O'Dod-
nell, the Governor of St. Sebastian, has returned a nel-
gative answer to the summons of Marshal Lauriston to
snrrender the place; he aspires, doubtless, to the honours
of a siege. The French squadron cruising off the port
had been obliged to retire by the bad weather. It is
thought that Pampeluna might have made a longer
defence: no blame is attributed to the Governor, San-
chez Salvador ; but his soldiers, it is said, were afraid of
sustaining an assault. The troops of the Faith are not
satisfied at the French having occupied the Citadel.

We are still without the details of the capture of St.
Petri by the French army before Cadiz, and the French
Journalists occupy the interim with discussing the im-
portance of the conquest; which, however, they estimate
very differently. The Journal des Debats asserts that
the consequences of the reduction of the fort of Santi
Petri are immense—that, as it is situated at the mouth
of the river Santa Maria, the passage of which it de-
fended, the troops were prevented from penetrating en
that point of the Island of Leon. Besides, it was under
the protection of this fort that Cadiz was continually
re-victualled by the small boats which slipped into the
river Santa Maria. Now, the French grin-boats can
penetrate into the river, defend the flying-bridges which
may be thrown over it, and afford the troops all the
means necessary for invading the Isle pf Leon.
Thus reasons the Journal des Debuts. The Quoti-
dienne goes still farther, and declares that the position
of St. Petri is of so much the more importance, as from
hence the French army may proceed straight to Cadiz,
without fearing the batteries of Puntales; and the Ori-
fluntme sees, in the capture of the fort, that the French
are masters of the river, by which small vessels arrive
at the Isle of Leon, and that the possession of the Isle
of Leon makes them masters of the road, and enables
the artillery to batter down Puntales, and consequently
to get Cadiz. The Courier Francais, ridiculing the
hop, skip, and jump way of taking one of the strongest
fortified towns in Europe pointed out by the other Jour-
nals, states truly, that fort St, Petri is on an island,
si-
toated to the eastward of the Isle of Leon, and at the
mouth of an arm of the sea to which it gives its name.
—4, This capture," says the Editor, 4' only makes us
masters of the entrance of the river, and puts us in a con-
dition of firing on the boats that enter, but it does'not'
make us masters of the river altogether, which extends
from Saint Petri beypnd the Caracca, where it unites
with the bay of Puntales. To make us masters of the
river, it is necessary to send a flotilla up from St. Petri,
which would-force the Spanish flotilla to retire towards
theCaracca; then, indeed, theymay begin to suppress the
.enemy's fire, and endeavour to pass tire river. Everything
'Mintasrices that this will be the manner of proceeding.
The Isle of Leon being taken, we shall not be instantly

"=r=

masters of thezoad, for we shall still have to take the
works which defend the Cortadura. The following is
the natural progress of the operations :—RenderaNem-
selves masters of the river of Saint Petri by means of a
flotilla ; employ the fire of this flotilla, and of the bat-
teries built on the other shore, to silence the bat-
teries of the Isle; force the passage of the river; chase
away the corps which occupy the Isle of Leon ; advance
on the road as far as the Cortadura, make themselves
masters of this fortress, turn Puntales, and endeavour
to reduce it; finally, begin the works of the siege be-
fore the front of the fortifications of Cadiz which look
towards the road. Such, in few words, is what re-
mains to be done, and such is probably the route which
will be followed, at least, if some extraordinary circum-
stances do not authorize a deviation from it. The dis-
embarkation of which the Journals have spoken as likely
to be effected between Puntales and Cadiz, or between
Puntales and the Cortadura, may be attended with
more speedy results, but it would also be much mere
dangerous."

Private accounts from Madrid, of the I.sth inst. state,
that the bombardment of Cadiz had been delayed from
motives of delicacy to the QUEEN, who was in a very de-
bilitated state of health, which, it was feared, would ter-
minate fatally; and besides, ft was expected that, by
some delay, the Cortes and their Ministers would sce
the necessity of yielding to the terms offered by the
Duke D'ANGUULEME. Much disunion
.was stated to
exist in Cadiz.

It was very confidently reported in Madrid. that
QUESADA'S troops had been severely beaten by LOPEZ
BANOE, on the other side of Talavera. It is said 1400
or 1500 were killed, and put hors de combat. It was the
advanced division,who, being young uninstructed troops,
were easily mastered by the superior numbers of the
Constitutional infantry and cavalry. A French column
arrived just in time to save them from entire destruc-
tion, and obliged the others to retire. QUESADA himself
was three leagues off, with his rear division.
It was likewise reported that some of Mo RILLO'S troops
had revolted—three regiments in Santiago—and replaced
the Lapida ; this was believed to be a fabrication.

This forenoon we received Hamburgh Papers to the
24th inst. The accounts they contain from the island of
Candia are again favourable to the Greeks, who have, it is
said, 34,000 men in arms there, without reckoning Sphac-
kiotes, who form Guerillas. The principal fortresses of
that island are again strictly blockaded by the Greeks.
The complaint of the general stagnation of the trade
with the Levant continues to increase. Some of the
rich Greek houses in Italy, hate contributed large sums
towards the expense of fitting out the fleet, and to stop
the murmurs of the sailors, who were dissatisfied by
their pay being so much in arrear ; so that it may be ex.
pected that the fleet will act with more vigour than ever
Accounts from Berlin state, that arrangements were
making for assembling the 'States of Brandeaberg and
Lower Lusatia, as well as those of Silesia and the West-
ern Provinces, though the time is not yet fixed.

;Gibraltar Chronicles to the Oth instant hart been re.
cased. The following are extracts:
GIBRALTAR, SEPTEMBER s.
. . _

An explosion of a number of cannon cartridges took
place yesterday, at about half-past one P.m. in the
Green Island. It is stated that several . persons have
been hurt by it, and some damage done to the buildings
and walls. It is reported that French troops are to
embark on board their ships, to make a landing on the
island of Cadiz.

SEPTEMBER s.—The Tribune is just arrived hole,
from Malaga.
General Count de Loverdo, commanding a French
divisiOn, entered and took possession of Malaga yester-
day morning, without the smallest resistance, He was
received is the most joyful manner by the inhabitants.
General Riego fled the preceding night, about• half-past
eleven o'clock, at which time his flotilla sailed from the
harbour with some soldiers of diWerent corps.
Late on Wednesday evening, the Sd of September,
some cavalry and infantry retired by the road to Velez
Malaga; and yesterday morning the French cavalry
pursued the rear-guard, and took the whole of the re-
giment de Rey prisoners.
It is known that Riego had embarked a large sum of
money and a quantity of church plate melted down,
General Ordonez, with part of the garrison of Tarifa,
is stated by pecyle arrived from Algesiras, to be in the
neighbourhood of the latter town, and about to enter it.
SEPTEMBER B.—A Veßezuelian privateer is cruising at
the entrance of the Straits. The American schooner
Agenoria, Crow, from Porto Rico, was forbid going
into Cadi; by the blockading squadron.

We have received another file of American Papers,
and make the following extracts

FROM THE NANTUCKET ENQUIRER, AUGUST 20.
FROM SOUTH AMERICA.

A change, bordering on a revolution, has lately taken
place in the Peruvian Government, as the late Govern-
ment had been entirely superseded by the, new one.
Long has the blood of the Patriots of this most inte-
resting portion of the South been wantonly shed—rsince
the commencement of San Martin's administration,
down to the present time—through the per6dious cabals
and intrigues of a set of Buenos Ayreans, who have held
the reins of government. These unhappy people font'.
nately have now applied a remedy to the evils which
they before experienced, in the sacrifice-of their armies,
in detail; in the-insulting expulsion of their allies, the
Colombians, from their aid ; and, in beholding the keys
of. the gates of Lima, the last dependence of the Peru,
vians, with her exhausted Treasury, and her inhabitants
in the utmost consternation at the approach of a 'nerds)
Less enemy, in the hands of infamous traitors and !as-
Bally priests;

WALKING Tile STREETS OF LONDON.

TO ThIE EDITOR OP THE STAR..

SIR-The difficulty of walking the streets of this os;
City of London, with any degree of comfort, has is,
creased, is increasing, and will increase, so long as thl
obstinate errors of its inhabitants are persisted in. T 4
know the seat of the disorder, all medical men admit 14
be the first step towards its cure. The first evil I complain
of is, that the shorter people are the more pertinaciously
and stupidly do they endeavour to lilt their umisreily4
above their taller fellow creatures in rainy weather.
know of no radical care for this, but the having rt,sort of
turnpike-gates on the foot pavement, through v,hi4
only the five feet people should pass, say from nine t 3
ten o'clock ; and regimental taller ones from ten to eleven,
and so on in alternate hours through the dap, or as lori
as the shower lasts. The nett glaring evil we compl,,N
of is, the rude impudent style in which at least area
dandies abreast, locked arm in arm, force their way
through the town, shoving some into the slope, ;nci
others into the kennels, to say nothing of the exhilarao
ing music of their iron heels, The remedy proposed is
their being ordered by the constables and street-keeper;
to march in single file, and to have cos k soles to the ill,
finite variety of boots and shoes they wear,
The next on the list is the consummate art recnire4
to pass an old woman, who, as often as you make the
attempt, yaws to that side of the pavement yen thought
might warrant the experiment. The art of- man c:tti
point out no cure for this: a week at the treading-mill
might be tried as an alterative. Caricature shops, which
subject you to the loss of handkerchief, watch, or both,
if you stop, or the muddy plunge into the kennel gym;
go on. Charming, delicious alternatives! for which I seq
no remedy but that of their admitting all sorts and sins
of spectators into their shops, to study, look at, and pure
chase their amusing publications. The agreeable pi,
quant wipes you occasionally receive from the swing.,
swaog lashes of the draymen and carmen's whips across
your face: the wearing of masks is powerfully recom,
mended. The spring of an innocent lambkin seeking
with mud, from Smithfield, against your immaculate
white benjamin, or We terrific shove you may receive
from the flanks of the true Leicester,hire breed, grate,
ful it was not from their branching horns. To avoid
these tender salutations, I would advise the issuing your
cards " At home on market-days."
Your agreeable ruminations while waiting to cross the
way in Cheapside, when the pavement is up, and only
one string of carriages can move at a time; so. that if
you have not the agility of a Oronaldi, to effect it st
the moment that another string starts the opposite way,
and jostled at the same time by a hundred stronger
competitors than yourself, by which you may lose youp
dinner, or, what is worse, be too late at the banker's to
receive the amount of your draft. No remedy but that,
on the days you have business in the City, engaging dr;
day before a bed; taking special care the hotel is on the
same side of the way your business lies.

A poste of country Gentlemen and Ladies going to
the Bank to receive their dividends, in full clack, and
obstinately insisting on taking the wrong side of every
one they meet. I leave the removal of this grievance
in the hands of the pickpockets, and the industrious mut
enlightened swindlers.
Boys with muddy hoops, enlivened by their favourite
yell, song, or laugh:—making them laugh on the
wrong side of the mouth might be found efficacious,
Nursery-maids with their male and female cronies, and •
the neglected children, each with some toy tied to;
string,. or some other tormenting mis,ile. To punish
these flirting beauties, I would mention their conduct
in the characters given them ; and hope the mothers of
those interesting prattlers may have their elegant morn!
ing dresses torn and bespattered, merely to see how they
would like what any olive•hranchest:pt their own would :
be flogged for. Chimney-sweepers not to be seen in the
street alter nine o'clock, except the philanthropic agree
to furnish them with clean linen and a smart suit salute
sweeping hours. Punch and Judy only alloived to amuse
the old, the young, and middle-aged, in the broad *
questered street, or still more ppen squares.
