The last arri►als from France afford us no better

means than we previously possessed of judging of the
eztent of the success obtaine4 by the French forces
before Cadiz. The capture of the Trocadero was ne-
cessarily one of the first essential operations to enable
the naval force to operate against Cadiz. While the

Trocadero remained formidable, and in the hands of

the Spanish, the French ships of war could not ap-
proach within gun-shot of Cadiz or the Isle of Leon ;
but if the whole of the Trocadero has been taken,
they may now approaoh both, audit is probable that
one of the first objects of the naval co-operation
will be to effect a landing at- Puntales.
Such was the intention of VICTOR during the last
war, when the Trocadero was in .possession of the
French, but he was prevented from carrying it into
effect by a British fleet; bat now that such an opposi-
tion no longer exists, and the French fleet will, on the
contrary, assist in protecting such an enterprise, we
think it more than probable that it will be imme-
diately undertaken. VICTOR'S opinion asserted to be
in favour of a landing somewhere between the Cor-
tadura and Puntales ; thus getting between the army
of the Isla and Cadiz, rendering the Cortadura and
Puntales useless, and reducing Cadiz to the strength
and resources of its own garrison.
The Courier Francais considers the capture of the
Trocadero as important on account of the moral effect
it is likely to have. " The Trocadero," says this
Journal, " of which we were masters during the last
war, is of no great importance, and does not render
the bombardment of Cadiz more easy. However, the
prompt and vigorous manner in which it has been
carried, may produce on the garrison of Cadiz a
moral effect favourable to the besiegers. Perhaps
this first impression may be taken advantage of tn
renew proposals of arrangement to the Cortes; for
it must be acknowledged that this is still the prompt.
est, surest, perhaps the only way to finish before Cadiz.
"If we may believe the journals which will not bear
speak of treaties, the overtures made at the monient
of the arrival of the French at St. Mary's, were rejected
with haughtiness by the Cortes ; and such was their
determination not to yield, that the Admiral VALDEZ
said to the KING, " Sire, if you are in good faith,
for the Constitution, you mast die with us; if you
are not, you must perish before us."
" We must not forget that this news is given by
journals which seem to have no other wish than that
the war should become as long and as bloody as it
was at a former period. If they tell the truth, so
much the worse; for it will be very difficult to
triurnob over so tenacious a resolution, supported by
such unapproachable localities."
The Do& even goes goes so far as to as-
sert, that the Cortes had offered to negociate,
and that an English agent had been the medium
of communicating with the Duke d'Anootment.
—" We announced," says the Editor, K that an
English vessel, coming from Gibraltaes bad pre-
sented itself to the French fleet blockading Cadiz,
after having saluted his Majesty's flag. The Captain
of this ship and a Secretary immediately landed on
the coast, and requested to be conducted to the head-
quarters to pay their respects to the Prince General-
issimo. It now appears that the Secretary was Sir
W. ATounes, and that he came to offer a capitula-
tion under the mediation of England. The Prince,
it is added, answered as a worthy descendant of
HENRY IV. that the delay which he bad allowed for
negotiations having expired, khe should trust for
the issue to the valour of the French arms and the
justice of the cause which the Km; had sent him to
defend.
The bombarding of Pampeluna began on the
2d of September, so that we =raison expect interest-
ing intelligence from that part of Spain.

This forenoon we received Frankfort Papers to the
sth inst. and the Austrian Observer to the 30th ult.
The Frankfort journal quotes a gloomy article rrom
the Oriental Spectator of Smyrna, relating to the
Greeks. The following are extracts :
SEMLIN, AUGUST 22. •
According to accounts from Belgrade, dated yes-
terday, three Tartars have brought to the Pacha the
information that the Seraskier Mahomet Pacha, who,
according to letters of the 7th, was still at Larissa,
has entered Livadia with his army, and is advancing
towards Corinth.
