WEDNESDAY EVENING. OCTOBER S, 1823.

STOCK EXCHANGE, 12 o'CLocK.—Consols opened this
morning at 833 f for the Account, and are now 8321;
with little doing.

The Expresses from Paris bring the French Rentes 91.
Io.—Spanish 41 and French Script 21. The manner in
which the French Telegraphic despatches are worded,
seems to puzzle every person, and another Express is anxi-
ously looked for to explain them.
Foaz►cv FuNDs.—Colombiak and Spanish Bonds are
the only foreign securities in which business is doing this
morning.

New Spanish 271-0 M Spanish, Ma—Colombian, 56ii
—Russian, 831 to 84—French Script, 211.

We have received this forenoon, by Express, the Etoile
of Monday, and the Pilule of yesterday morning. The
" two despatches" which had reached Paris on Monday, by
the Telegraph, are referred to by the Etoile; but nothing
appears to have transpired to throw light upon the circum-
stances which the despatches state. The f3llowing are ex-
tracts from the papers we have received:—
(From the Etoile of Monday, Oct. 6.)
GRAND HEAD QUARTERS.

Port St. Mary's, Sept. 27.

The town is nearly deserted this evening. All are at the
Head Quarters at Chiclens. The projected attack on the
Isle of Leon is to take place on two points. The troops
that will embark from the point of Rota are destined to
proceed to the fort of Torregords, and the other troops
will march over the pontoon of boats which separate 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 lire on the enemy's shore during the
passage of oar troops.
The Count liourmont will command the landing. The
Prince Carignan, the Duke of Guiche, and Colonel Bon-
tourlin, are at present on board the ship Centaure.
We read in the Restanrador of the Ist Oct. the following
from Port St. Mary's :

Four o'clock at night.

His Royal Highness passed at Chiclana a few hours with
all the Generals. After having summoned "Cadiz to snr-
render, the general attack will be made on the Island, and
it is thought it will take place this right, unless they send
from Cadiz a Bag of truce. All is in movement, and every
thing is preparing to transport the Head Quarters into the
Isle of Leon.

MANZANARES. SEPT. 28.—Riego has entered our town this
morning at 10 o'clock, under a strong escort. An immense po-
pulation went to see him pass, crying out " Death to the traitor
Riego." He was conducted to prison for the night, and to-
morrow he will continue his march for Madrid. A false alarm
was given that a band of 400 Revolutionists had arrived at
Avenoja to deliver the hero, Tragala.

MADRID, Sept. 30.—Government received news direct
from Cadiz, of the 23rd.—The bombardment caused the
greatest confusion in that town ; but the King and all the
Royal Family did not run any danger. The Generals and
Naval Officers have ascertained that Cadiz can be easily
bombarded. The Marquess of Talaru arrived at Xeres
on the 2-Ith, and the following day went to the Duke
Infantado, with whom lie had a long conference, and the
Minister of War, assisted. On the 23rd and 25th there
arrived at Port St. Mary's more than 100 persons, who
escaped by gold from Cadiz. All the inhabitants are in
their cellars, and the membets of the Cortes have proposed
to hold their sittings is. a caver.i. It is not doubted that
a few hours bombardment will reduce these matineers.—

The people only wait fur the signal of revolt to deliver the
hind.

lc the opposition Journals of yesterday, we read a long
article on Spain, in which it is stated, that Badajos, Cadiz,
Cuidad Rpdreigo, Carthagena, Alicant, Zerida, Tarragona,
Barcelona, and Seo, remain yet to be taken. General
Larochejacqoael:n has joined General O'Donnell, and shot
up in Cuidad Rodreigo, the troops of the Empecinado
where they will be obliged to surrender.

THE STATESMAN.

would be considerable reason to be alarmed, but Uppity the
rainy season has commenced, and this will be the most effica-
cious check to the progress of the contagion.—Four vessels
arrived in our river yesterday, which came from Santona.—
They have on board 83 Spaniards, who are put under quaran-
tine. It is not yet decided what is to be done with 4 or 500
patients ill of a typhus fever, who are now in the hospital of
St. Sebastian, and are to leave that place on the 3d, as well as
the garrison, which is to come to France as prisoners of war.
It was proposed to put them in the Lazaretto at Behobie, hut it
is not large enough. There was also a notion of encamping
them, but it seems that the bad weather will be an obstacle.—
Patients continue to arrive at the military hospital here; 125
were brought yesterday from St. Jean de Luz. It appears that
the plan of sending the sick from Spain will continue to be act-
ed
upon. It is affirmed that the garrison of St. Sebastian has
conducted itself better than that of Pampeluua, inasmuch as
its provisions were quite consumed. The means of attack,col-
letting before Cadiz, are immense. Besides drawing from An-
dalusia whatever may be useful, every thing has been sent from
Corunna that can be employed in this important siege. The
vessels which conveytd the five companies of artillery from
Bayonne arrived saf 4y nt Port St. Mary's on the 20th.

We learn from Orthes that the prisoners from Paspelune
have met with a very good reception there from all the inha-
bitants. We learn from Madrid that the Regency has issued
a decree prohibiting the Journals from publishing any news,
'even official, till it appeared in the Gazette of Madrid, which
is something like the Mouitom

The board called the "Junta of Pacification " has laid its
opinion before the Regency, that it may decide on the fate o f
those persons holding public employments, to whom the
Decree of the 23d of July last caunot be applied. These are :
I. Those who have not made part of the Militia, or who
have left it.-2. Those who made part of it, from fear of losing
the employments from which they derived their subsistence.-
3. Those who joined it to avoid the requisitions, if they have
not since taken any part in the popular tumults.—Madrid ap-
pears calm, but there are many discortented persons.—The
arrests continue. They are explained by the facility with
which the arrested get out of prison, on payment of a sum,
larger and smaller, according to circumstances, but never less
than 1000 Reels. it is a new kind of contribution. It is re-
ported that the garrison of Cuidad Rodrigo has offered to
recognize the Regency, on condition that they should be al-
lowed still to guard the :place as at Corunna.—The fort of
Penes de San Pedro capitulated on the IStb. The garrison is
to be sent as prisoners of war to Urgands.

Accounts from Xeres of the Kith, say that the Duke de
I'ir.fantado and Mr. Saez had been stopped and plundered
while on a promenade. The robbers, who were five in number,
did not do them any personal injury. The Rcstaurador con-
tains a very curious article relative to Ballasteros. After
having said that is only to the late events that he owes the
continuation of the military convention, it pretends that papers
have been found, which prove a culpable correspondence of
that General with C .rondelet and Domingo Aquatint, who re-
cruits for the Constitutionalists, and endeavours to raise the
whole province of Jaen. Three hundred volunteers, marching
out of Uheda, cried " Riego for ever! Liberty for ever!"—
The Journalist ccncludes by saying that he knew more about
it than can be said. There is a report of an extraordinary
Sitting of the Cortes, in which the question of removing the
King and the Royal Family was discussed. It Is said it was
proposed to send him to the Canaries, and that another proposal
was, to send him to Barcelona. which, besides its strength, is
in a country which can be depended upon..

The Constitutional Squadron is commanded key Don Ca.
paz. Quiroga Las taken the command of some Battalions
uhich have vowed to devote themselves to deatb,rather than
surrender. At Madrid, however, the belief of an amicable
arrangement, and a speedy 'termination of the war, still
prevails ; for orders have been given for the departure of
His Majesty's equipages for Seville.
A French brigade is said to be sent towards Placencia,
to which it is added, that the troops of O'Donnell are
gone against the Empecinado, who appears to he in force
in that province.
Riego has been delivered up to the Spanish Regency,
by order of the 3laj or General.
On the 24. h. Te &um was performed in all the
churches of Madrid,
Many officers of Artillery, and Engineers, continue
to pass through here, going lost to Andalusia. All the
artillery, and almost all the officers and troops employed
in the siege of Pampelans, are going to attack Lerida.

A file of Cape Toren Gazettes has been received at the
New England Coffee House, to the 20th July. The following
is from the Paper of the 19t1► July
" Oa the Sth July, Mr. George Thompson arrived in
town from old Lattakoo in the short space of fourteen
days, bringing with him the following extraordinary intel-
ligence. Mr. Moffatt states the approach of a numerous,
powerful, and ferocious army, discovered to come from
the South, having conquered and driven 28 tribes. They
were repulsed by the Wanketts. They intended to attack
Old Lattakoo, and Origna Land. They are composed of,
white, black, and Hottentot colour ; have longish hair, and
speak a strange language; many wear European clothes; the
most of them are nearly naked. Their weapons are an
antient sword, a short-hand spear, and a cudgel without a
head. They have their wives and children aid' them; and
lastly, it is positively said, they ate cannibals."

The Morning. Chronicle to day contains a second tele-
graphic despatch from Paris, announcing that the negocia-
lions at Cadiz were broken off, and that hostilities were to
recommence on the 30th ult. It contains also extracts from
the Journal des Debals, of Monday, from which it appears
that the first despatch had not been transmitted to us cor-
rectly. The correct translation of the new Edition is—
" The King informs me the he is free; and that he will
" repair to Port St. Mary when I choose; I hope he will
" be there to morrow." These is not,however, any material
difference in the two copies of the first despatches. The
mischief of the matter rests in the permission of Ferdinand
to go to the bead quarters of the French. If this
