TRADE WITH CADIZ.

We copy the following remarks, illustrative of the
present state of trade between Gibraltar and Cadiz,
from a Price Current of the former place:—
" The troubles in Spain have for some time caused a
complet, stagnation in the sales of British manufactures,
which must nevertheless be much wanted in that coun-
try. It is therefore to be hoped, that the negotiations
said to be on foot through the mediation of Great
Britain will bring to a happy termination the contest
which has produced all the horrors of civil and foreign
war in the Peninsula.

The wants Cadiz, which is crowded to excess,
have been supplied from the Rock in spite of the
blockading squadron; and at one period the very in-
creased and continued demand for all sorts of provi-
sions, grain, &c. caused their value to rise considerably;
but the present posture of political affairs has produced
a re-action, and prices have almost receded to their for-
mer level, as speculators are afraid of -having their
hands full at such a juncture. Philadelphia flour hat
ruled as high as eleven dollars per barrel, in conse-
quence of the great consumption at Cadiz: but the
suspension of orders from that city prevents from realis-
ijg a cargo. A quantity of French flour has been
brought into the market, uhich sold at eight dollars
per barrel. We daily expect the arrival of 3or 4000
barrels on their way from England."

Our intelligence yesterday from Spain was not very
explicit, but the news of to-day has rendered confusion
worse confounded. By the Moniteur of Monday, which
we have received this morning by Express, as well as
the Evening Papers of that day, and the Pilote of yes-
terday, we find, that a very incorrect version has been
given of the French telegraphic dispatch from Chiclana.
It now appears, that the KING of Spain did not fix any
time for visiting the Duke of ANGouLEME, but said
that he was free, and would repair to Port St. Marie
whenever the Duke pleased, which the latter hoped
would be on Michaelmas.day. It would appear, however,
by a subsequent dispatch, dated on the evening of the
29th, that all negociations were broken off, and, that
hostilities would commence at day-break next morning.
No mention is made Of the KING of Spain, and it may
therefore be presumed, that the arrangements for his
leaving Cadiz had not been agreed upon.
We learn by a letter from our private Correspondent
in Paris, dated Monday evening, that the contradictory
telegraphic dispatches had excited muck surprise in
that capital. The first dispatch led them to expect
that the war was ended, and they waited the formal
Confirmation of this event, when the seeond dispatch
announced the recommencement of hostilities. A re-
port prevailed in Paris, on Monday evening, that the
Isle de Leon had been taken by the French on the 30e,
Olt. and that new negociations had been commenced
with every prospect that Cadiz would surrender by
capitulation on the 2d or 3d inst.
It was also reported in Paris, that the powder maga-
zine of Bayonne bad been blown up. The following

The Telegraphic Dispatches are the only articles of
intelligence from Spain in the Motateur, with the excep-
tion of an extract from the Proclamation of General
BALLAST/LAOS, which appeared at length in the STAR

to Viscount de MARINGONT.

FROM THE JOURNAL DES DEBATS.
BADALONA, SEPT. se.
EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER.

" To-morrow, the anniversary of the birth of the
Duke of Bourdeaux, we are to take possession of Fi-
gueras. This important place had still a month's pro-
visions, and it was surrendered on account of want of
money. The same want is felt at Tarragona, and will
soon be at Barcelona.

" The enemy's column which left Tarragona under the
orders of Lloberas, has entered Lerida. Baron d'Erolles,
Iwho has collected 3,000 men in the plains of Urgel, will
closely blockade the latter place till the arrival of the
sth corps. Lerida is not provisioned, and everything
makes us hope that it will not long hold out.
" A considerable quantity of artillery has arrived be-
fore the Seu. The Marshal has reinforced the corps
which blockades. this place, and batteries are imme-
diately to be constructed. Before firing 100 balls the
garrison will surrender. It does not amount to more
than 800 men, and desertions take place daily. On the
23d, forty-two deserters came to our advanced posts,
and the friendly manner in which they are received by
the soldiers of the Faith will augment the number of
deserters."

EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER, DATED BADALOXA

SEPTYMBER 29.

" Notwithstanding the impudent falsehoods of the re-
volutionary Journals, the fate of the column under Fer-
nandes is known in Barcelona. The mass of the inha-
bitants look on resistance as madness, and the news of
the surrender of Figueras will make them still more dis-
posed to submit. Three days ago the cry of Paz, pax,'
was heard several times in.the principal Theatre, and a
crisis is regarded as at hand. May it 'render the siege
needless; but it it does not, it will be necessary to begin
it in the first days of November. _ _

" Figueras must at present be occupied by our troops;
I expect every moment good news from the Seu. Lerida
cannot hold out, so, like you, I expect that the war and
the fine weather will both finish at the same time."

GRAND HEAD-QUARTERS.
POET ST. MA ail, 3112222121 t 27.
The town is nearly deserted this evening—all are at
the Head-quarters at Chiclana. The projected attack
on the Isle of Leon is to take place on two points;

Le troops that will embark from the point of Rota
are destined to proceed to the Fort of Torregorda,
and .the other troops will march over the pontoon of
boats which separates the fort of Santi Petri from the{
Isle of Leon. Thirty pieces of artillery will be added
to those which are already in the fort of Santi Petri, to
fire on the enemy's shore during the passage of our troops.
The Cqunt Bourmont will command the landing.
The Prince of Carignan, the Duke of Guiche, and Cel.
Rotourlin, are at present on board the ship Centaur:
We read in the Restaurador, of Oct. 1, the following
from Port Sainte Marie, dated Sept. 28, 4 o'clock P. M.

His Royal Highness passed at Chiclana a few hours,
with all the Generals. After having summoned Cadiz
to surrender, the general attack will be made on the
island, and it is thought it will take place this night
without they send from Cadiz a flag of truce, all is in,
movement, and every thing is preparing to transport
the head-quarters to the Island of Leon.
