THE QUARTER'S REVENUE.

We have already prepared our Readers to expect a
highly favourable account of the produce of the Reve-
nue for the Quarter which ends this day, and are happy
to say that the surplus promises to be even greater than
we had anticipated. The accounts are kept open till the
close of bubiness this afternoon, so that a correct state-
ment of them cannot appear before to-morrow.
We may mention now, however, that the principal
augmentation is in the Customs—the most indirect, and
therefore the least burdensome branch of our Revenue'
The increase which they will exhibit during this Quar-
ter, as compared with the corresponding Quarter of last
year, will exceed FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND POUNDS;
and on the three Quarters of the Year ending 10th Oc-
tober there will appear a total Surplus of about Five
Hundred and Seventy Thousand Pounds.
The Duties too, which have produced and continue
to produce most,are thOse on articles in ordinary demand,
such as wood, jron, &c. betokening clearly an increased
activity in the main channels of our national industry.

the military, who had escaped from the Isla de Leon,
entered Cadiz, and persuaded the troops to listen to. no,
terms. Thus the termination of the war is delayed by
the presence in Cadiz of troops who had fled from the
Isla in a cowardly manner. 'Mete is little doubt that,
at the present moment, Cadiz is in the possession of the
French."

Monseigneur,.4 had the honour of rendering an as
count to your Ezcellency, of the occupation of the fort
of Figueras by the allied troops. The garrison
amounted at the moment of its surrender to 2410. It
was composed of the battalions of Navarre, Arragon,
and Murcia ; siz hundred were sick.
"The garrison had still provisions for about twenty
days: by reducing the rations one third, they might
have held out for a month.
"The number of cannon was 139. The stores con,
sisted of 86,850 kilogrammes of powder, 4288 bombs,
2833 shells, 93,127 balls, 13,320 grenades, 1,432,426
cartridges, and 3438 quintals of case-shot.
" The 2d battalion of the sth line, and sth battalion
of the Royal Spanish division, form now the garrison of
Figueras. They are commanded by M. de Cornier, Lieu-
tenant-Colonel of the sth Line. Orders have been given
for immediately provisioning the fortress for a month.
" The column which left Tarragona, as 4 have already
reported to your Excellency, 10 commanded by San
Miguel. It amounts to 9,000 infantry, and 300 horse.
From Lerida it took the direction of Benefar. The
allied troops placed themselves between the enemy and
Lerida, to separate them from that place, and render
it impossible for them to return into Catalonia. Baron
d'Eroles and General Tromelip occupied Tamarita,
while Santos ladrpp was stationed at Fraga with 2,500
men, well organized. We are assured that the garrison
of Lerida amounts only to 800 men. Among whom
are 400 provincial militia,
" Another column of 2,000 infantry and 100 horse at-
empted to leave Tarragona on the 29th of September,
at eight o'clock in the morning, and moved towardsValls,
leaving Valmol:on the left. About the half of these
troops pushed forward to Valls, while the other took a
position between Secuita and Culler. A battalion of the
Ist Light Infantry occupied the latter village. The other
battalion was at Riera. General Achard assembled at
Cellar these two battalions, and 40 horse of the 6th
chasseurs.
46 To support this movement, Baron Montgarde
marched from Altafulla six companies of the 81st Line,
a battalion of the 18th, and 50 horse. In making his
dispositions for the attack, General Achard's principal
object was to cut off the retreat of the Constitutional
troops to Tarragona. Alarmed by these manseuvres,
the enemy retreated with the greatest precipitation.—
The tst Light mid the detachment of the 6th phasseurs,
though they marched with the utmost rapidity to Lo-
rito, could only overtake the rear-guard of the enemy.
Attacked by our infantry, charged by our chasseurs,
the rear-guard fled in the greatest disorder, and was
pursued to the very walls of Tarragona. They left 12
dead on the field of battle, and had many woooded,

FROM THIC ETOILL OF WEDNESDAY.
MADRID, OCT. 3.
pY AN EXTRAORDLNARY COURIER:
The attention of all the inhabitants of this capital,
incessantly directed towards Cadiz, was diverted for an
instant yesterday by the arrival of the too famous Riego
within our walls.

ment of Spanish troops, and some French soldiers,
vaned a cart, upon which was seated the author of all
our disasters. The escort entered by the gate of San
Bernardino, where he was delivered to the guard oi
the Count de Torre-Alta. All the adjacent streets were
immediately occupied by detachments of infintry, and
they were patrolled by parties of cavalry, which did
not permit any person to approach the prison. One of
our Journals observes, on this subject, that if the Con.
stitutionalists had basely assassinated the Canon Vinuesa,
whilst in chains, it is only the stronger motive for the
' Royalists to display their superior moral principles,
leaving to justice the task of punishing the guilty..
Towards evening beds were prepared fer the folic
prisoners. Riego told the keeper a the prison that he,
expected to be treated as a General. " What r ‘.el;:Aiesi
the gaoler, " you a General ! Do not you know that
everything is now on the same footing in which it seat
before your 7th of March, )820?—Do you think that
we will acknowledge in you the prate of your treason?,
It has been decided that Riego will be treated as a sin,
pie Officer, at the same time impressing upon hial that
even this was an act of pure generosity on the part of
the Royalists." He went to bed without replying.
The following are extracts from our letters from hurl
St. Mary of the 28th and 29th September.
It is certain that Count Tonics had cactieJ a letter
from the King to his Royal Highness, in which his
Majesty considered himself to sure of his liberty, that
he begged the Prince to state by what route he should
go to meet him at his head-quarters, His Royal High,
ness had already answered, that the shortest way was to
cross the bay, and disembark at Port St. Mary's.
The following particulars we have gleaned from per,
sons worthy of credit at

were made under the conditicuis of the 27th, are now

countries. The madness of the Revolutionists goes tq
far as to recinire the dissolution of the Regency of Afa,
drid, as incompatible with the liberty 9f the King, the
sole legitimtte Government.
The opposite parties in Cadiz are on the point of cut,
ting each other's throats in this unhappy city. There is
in fact no effective Constitutional force here, except the
Militia of Madrid. Those of Cadiz consult oply their
repose and the resumption of their commercial oFtla,..
tions. They ridicule and disobey the pxalWo, officeA
who had been placed over them, without disguise. The
ICommandant of the parish of St. Martial had assembled
his battalion before the sacred storm, and had declared
to them that he was going to set out to reconquer Sand
Petri. At those words all the troop cried out, " Tlita
go alone, and the devil take you I" Immediately aft%
these brave militia returned to their houses, and 414
comtnam4pc did not dare to interrupt them. Tweatt
similar insurrections led to the events which happened
on the 27th, of which the most remarkable, widrod
doubt, is the voluntary dissolution of the Cortes!
The Commandant-General of the I.le of Leon has
signified that in consequence of the spirit di splaTed by 44
troops, and the dispositions which the French had madei
lit would be impossible for him to defend it, and that hE
would therefore retire forthwith behind the Rio Arius
