CADIZ, JUNE 19.

It is not in our power yet to confirm the account
of the defect of the French General SEBASTIAN!,
by any later arrivals. We shortly expect favourable
news from the gallant O'DoNNELL, though at present
we have none to communicate. The French seem
making preparations on the other side of the Bay, as
if they meant to attack the city. We have reason to
think that they have had several reitiorcements with-
in a late period, hut the extent of them we cannot as.
certain. As far as appearances go, they do not seem
to be much increased. The stories of those who come
over from the enemy must not be relied upon.

The new scheme of BONAPARTE to divide the
Spaniards will not succeed. With regard to our
civil affairs, England has hut one line to pursue—to
recommend and to insist upon the Cortes being con-
voked.

This day Mr. CORBETT appeared in the Court of
King's Bench in order to receive judgment, when he
addressed the Court at some length in mitigation of
punishment. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL then replied,
and Lord ELLENBOROUGH ordered Mr. COIDETT
into the custody of the Marshall, to be brought up
again on Monday to receive sentence.
Mr. HARRIOTT, late a Police Magistrate of Wap-
ping, also received sentence this morning ; he is to
pay a fine of £lOO, in consequence of a recent con-
viction.

The KING came to town yesterday, about twelve
o'clock, from Windsor, in his travelling carriage, es-
corted by a party of the Light Horse. His MAJEsTr
was received by the Dukes of YORK, KENT, CAM-
BRIDGE, and CUMBERLAND.

Soon after two o'clock the KING held a private
Levee, at which the following had the honour of being
presented to his MAJESTY :
Lieutenant-General Sir I-lEw DALRYMPLE, on being appointed
Colonel to the 19th Regiment of Foot.
Captain MooaSON, on his appointment to be Surveyor-Gene-
ral of the Ordnance.

Lieuteoant-Colonel PouLLT, Colebrolte Royal Artillery, on his
appointment, at:dills return from Crylon.

Guards, on his promotion.

Some letters have been received from Petersburgh,
by which we learn that the navigation being open,
about 70 sail of ships, vv to wintered at Cronstadt,
have taken their departure. The Exchange was at
141. We have also the subsequent official notifica-
tion

" Information having been received, that with the feet of ships
in ballast, sonic laden with Colonial produce have presumed to
enter the roads, under date of the lith Inst.; the Department of
Foreign Affairs has directed, that the papers of such ships shall
! be subjected to the strictest search, under the superintendence of
the French Consul, M. PILLIor. And it Is hereby made known,
that upon the discovery of any collusion or fraud, the seizure of
such vessels and their cargoes will immediately take place, and
their confiscation will be accelerated.
