RUPTURE OP TIDE NEGOCIATIONS. AND RE-
COMMENCEMENT OF HOSTILITIES BEFORE
CADIZ.

(PROM THE MORNINS CHRONICLE)

We last night received a Telegraphic Despatch from
Paris, announcing the rapture of the negociations and the
. recommencement of hostilities. We received also the
Journal dea Dcliats of Monday, which contains the
Telegraphic Despatch we yesterday communicated respecting
the Liberation of Ferdinand. Through some accident, that
we are at present unable to explain, a very incorrect version
of this Telegraphic Despatch was conveyed to us, by
which means the public have been led into an error on
the subject. The real terms of the despatch are the
following:—

" Chiclaoa, 28 Septembre.

" La Doc D'ANCOULEME, &r.
" Le Roi me untide qu'il est libre, et qu'il se rendra au
Porte Sainte Marie quand je le voudrat ; j'rspere y
sera dentain."
(The Kin informs me that he is free, and that he will
revile to Port St. Mary when I choose; I hope be will
be there to morrow.)

This version of the despatch prepare us for the announce
meni in the followiny, which otherwise would he inexplica-
ble ; hec.suse the Duke expreres only a hope that tin, King
will Le At Port St, Mary, and the existence of some condition
attached to his journey is implied by the words viand
de lc voudrai, and this would necessarily lead to nego-
ciations.

' The second Telegraphic Dispatch is as follows:

" PORT ST. MARY, SEPT. 29. HALF PAST
SIX O'CLI CK IN THE EVENING.
' THE DUKE D'ANGOULEME TO THE PRESIDENT

OF THE COUNCIL OF MINISTERS.

" The negociations are broken off; hostilities will re.
commence to 'non ow at break of day."

(FROM THE JOURNAL DES DEBATE.)
BAD4LONA, SEPT. 2y.—(Extract of a Private Letter.)—
To•morrow, the anniversary of the birth of the Duke of
Borleanx, we are to take possession of Figueras. This im-
portant place had still a month's provision, and it was sun
rendered on account of want of money. The same want is
felt at Tarragona, and will soon he at Barcelona.
The enemy's column &rich left Tarragona under the
orders of LI ,beras. has entered Lerida. Baron d'F:rolles,
wino has collected 5,000 in the plains of lirgel, will closely
blockade the latter place till the arrival of the sth corps.
Lerida is not provisioned, and every thing makes us hope
that it will not be long held out.
A considerable quantity of artillery has arrived before the
Sen. The marshal has reinforced the corps which block.
toles this plare, and bat'eries are immediately to Ire con.
structed. Before firing 100 balls the garrison will surren-
der. It does not amount to more than t4OO 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.
IlaDll.otlA. Serr. 29.—(Extract of a Private Letter).—
Notwithstanding the impudent falsehoods of the revolu-
tionary doornail, the fate of the column under Fernandez
is known in Barcelona. The mays of tic inhabitants look
on resistance as madness, and the news of the surrender of
Figneras will make them still more disposed 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
band. May it render the siege needless ; but if it does
not, it will be necessary to begin it in the first days of No-
vember.
Figueras must at present be occupied by our troops ; 1
expect every moment good news from the Sen. Lerida
cannot hold out, so, like you, I expect that the war and the
tine weather will both finish at the same time.
