Our accounts from Bayonne this morning, though
not bi inging any later information from Cadiz, are
interesting. The hopes of terminating the war by
negotiation are considerably diminished, owing, as it
is said, to the obstinacy of the Cones—a circum-
stance which certainly either argues 'a confidence in
the means of resistance, or a blind infatuation op the
part of the Spanish Government. It is stated that a

Constitutional corps of 1,200 ffitill approached within
five leagues of Madrid. The following are extracts
BAYONNE, AUGUST 28.
There being no Mail to-day, we cannot expect
much news ; unless it be from Saragossa, which, how-
ever important, are uninteresting compared with
those from Andalusia, on which all eyes iretarned•
•We understand, however, from a person who has
come from Andalusia, and, as may be inferred from
the Twenty-ninth Bulletin, that affairs do not seem
likely to turn out as had been hoped, the expecta-
tions of an accommodation being much diminished
by the obstinacy of the Cortes.
It is not certain what the Duke will do, but mean-
time, preparations continue to be made for the attack
of Cadiz ; four companies of artillery are going to
be embarked here by sea. It is certain, if Cadiz is
defended, and so well supplied with provisions, &c.
as reported that the attack will not be an easy matter,
arid the troops we have there, at present, should seem
scarcely adequate to so great an operation. It is not
the same with- Pampeluna, the siege of which will
be carried on with such an immense display of force,
that it is certain the place will fall in a short time.
For the better accommodation of the sick in the army,
it has been determined to send part of them to France,
and 122 arrived here yesterday : it is said that de-
tachments will arrive every other day till farthei orders
We have just received, by the army post, news-
papers from Madrid of the *23d. They contain little
novelty. The journalists give us their own opinions
and reflections, instead of facts, which would be more
welcome. Among these reflections we find one
which we will quote for the sake of its originality, in
which the writer compares Spain to the Castle of
Coriiander, which causes all who enter it, without
any distinction, to lose their wits. So little is said
about military affairs, that it might be supposed all
was settled, or at least that there was a suspension
of arms. It was said at Madrid that Ballasteros and
Zay as have bad an interview with the Duke of An-
gouleme at the moment of his departure from Seville
for Cadiz, but this news has no appearance of autheri-
ticity. The Regency has published ihecircular which
it addressed to all the Ambassadors anA Diplomatic
Agents on the departure of the Duke of Infantado
and the first Minister. It is as follows:

4, Excellent Sir-!--The Regency of the kingdom
desiring that at the happy moment of the deliverance
of the King, our august Sovereign, there may be
near his Majesty a person of high character, tl con-
gratulate him and pay.hitn homage in the name of
his Serene_ Highness, has resolved that for this pur-
pose the Duke of Infantado shall repair to Andalusia,
accompanied by M. Saizohe first Minister. In con-
sequence of this detesnsination their Excellencies set
out this morning, according to the orders of his
Serene Highness, of which I have the honour to
inform your Excellency.
16 The Palace, August 19."
Twelve hundred Constitutional troops coming from
Estremadura, had pushed forward a reconnoitering
party as far as Valmajado, five leagues from Madrid,
on the 20th. They afterwards took the road to Se-
govia. A strong French column has gone from To-
ledo in pursuit of them, but it seems not likely that
it will be able to overtake them. The French
cavalry which was at the Pardo has returned to Ma.
drid, and that place was immediately occupied by
the column of General Castel dos Rios ; which makes
it presumed that. there must necessarily be a secret
convention between that General and the Marshal
Duke of Reggio: it was even reported that that Ge-
neral would very soon enter Madrid. An officer of
the Staff is affirmed to have arrivedfrom Andalusia
with a proclamation from the King, which is to be
published immediately.
There is nothing new from St. Sebastian, where
O'Donnell seems disposed to defend himself to the
utmost. As no vessels have been appointed to convey
ammunition to the army, it is said that some gibarres
will be sent from. Rochefort for that purpose.
NVe have just received news of the surrender of
Corunna. Marshal Lauriston yesterday removed his
head-quarters from Tolosa, to fix them in the camp
before Pampeluna. Several waggons with sick have
just arrived from Spain.

PIZADE 111TH PHILADELPHIA.

Philadelphia, August 5, 189.5.
SlR—Our.Chamber of Commerce (of which I have
been long Secretary) is making. great exertions for
the improvement of our navigation. They have ob-
tained the grant of a lighthouse at Cape May, now
building; a floating light or two to be placed in the
river ; a promise of a complete survey of the river
next year; a grant for two protecting piers at the
Shears, against ice and storms, was made, but on
making the necessary surveys and estimates, there was
not an adequate fund provided. A re-survey horn the !
United States Corps of Engineers has been made, and
a report been made favourable to a breakwater in
the room of piers, and a much larger appropriation I
recommended, so as to afford shelter trot only to our i
own vessels, but to those bound to and from other ports.
Should we succeed in our application, our port will
become comparatively a sate one. I will again re-
peat a wish formerly expressed, that vessels when
►oming to our river, shoulti be directed to shew sig-
nal for a pilot as soon as the Henlopen light is disco-
vered ; a good look-out is there kept, and the keeper
is furnished with signals, and paid for making them
to the pilots at Lewis Town, who can then be off the
lighthouse as quickly as the vessels. When the sig-
nals are withheld by the vessels, they frequently kive
to wait, and in bad weather there is danger from the
neighbouring shoals.

PUNCH Sul IP CAPTURED.--The ship Gustave,
Captain Moiu of 200 tons burden, when about two
leagues from Alderney, was captured by the Tartar
privateer, mounting 10 guns, and having a crew of
SO men. The privateer hoisted the English flag, and
when Captain MORES was thus decoyed within a
short distance, the Spanish flag was substituted; two
shots were then fired, but without effect, when the
Gustave struck. The crew consisted of nine men, a
boy, and three pas:.engers ; five of whom, and the
boy, remained on board the prize, and the others
were put on board a Norway vessel bound to Jersey,
whose Captain landed them there on his way. The
cargo consists of coffee, Campeachy wood, kc. which,
with the ship, is estimated at 500,000 francs (up..
wards of f,20,000). The Gustave sailed from Caille,
in St. Domingo, on the 13th of July last, and was
bound to Havre de Grace. The privateer proceeded
for Ten,er life.
Letters were received yesterday from Lima to the
21st of March. A plot, or a pretended plot, to de-
liver up the Castle of Callao to the Royalist Spa-,
Eiards had been discovered, in consequence of which
kitty persons had been apprehended and sent to pri-
son. Most of them were old resident Spaniards. A
report prevailed at Lima of a revolution having
bruken out at Cuzco against the Royal cause, but was
riot generally believed : the troops of that party oc-
cupied Pisco, Ica, Jauja, and Pasco. The transports
had sailed for Guayaquil to bring up the troops sent
by BOLL VA R, who was expected in person. The detach-
ments under Colonel MILLER had returned to Lima.
Letters have been received from M. BELZONI, the
traveller, dated Teneriffe, the 25th July, in which he
says, that notwithstanding the failure of his projected
enterpri,e of passing from Fez across the Atlantian
Hills to Tafilet, and thence to Timbuctoo, he will not
turn his face towards Europe until he reaches the
destined point. He says he is determined to aim
at the Niger and Timbuctoo. Though M. Bzczota
was stopped at Fez, he was not remanded to Tangier,
as was reported.
