PARIS PAPERS OF THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.
PARIS, SEPTEMBER 3.—The siege of Pampeluna will
commence about the sth of September.—(Journal des
Debate)
Wears assured that Marshal Lauriston has not been
abl. to execute, in the provinces-the ordinance of the Duke
of A n gooleme. to set at liberty all Spaniards arbitrarily ho-
p' isoned.—(Pilote.)
Pahlic attention is most intensely fixed upon Cadiz, and
the contemplated attack upon the Trocadero. The works
uf the latter plane are defended by about two or three thou-
card men. The fate of Cadiz seems to be attached to that
,if the Trocadero, and the greatest efforts are made to re-
tard its fall. Indeed, the Trocadero defends the entrance
of the interior port, and prevents oar vessels from approach-
ingand communicating with our army.
ST. ANDRE.. (WEAR BARCELONA). AUGUST 30.

NEWS FROM SPAIN.
(BY AN EXTRAORDINARY COURIER.)
MADRID. August 30.—This day we have received some
'now details respecting the attack of Trocadero. As has
been already stated, a parallel was erected, and several bat-
teries of cannon, howitzers, pal mortars destroyed the
enemy's works. On the 26th their fire was considerably
abated, from what cause nobody could tell. On the depot-
tar of the Courier, some persons thought it was occasioned
by their batteries being dismounted, while others at-
tributed the circumstance to divisions in the interior of
Cadiz.
Head Quarters before St. Sebastian, Aug. 27.
ORDER OF THE DAY.
The chasse-mares of St. Sebastian, which was waiting
for a long time for an opportunity to sail from that port,
and which set sail on the evening of the 25th on its way
to England, has been captured by the ships of the Royal
Marine. This capture has placed in oar power four
officers, 33 soldiers, 10 marines, and a vessel mounting
four pieces of cannon. which will in future serve to
strengthen the blockade. Thus have vanished the hopes
of succour which were entertained by the garrison of St.
Sebastian.
The Lieut. Gen. constantly relying on the zeal of his
troops, in watching the movements of the enemy, is confi-
fident that, in imitation of our naval comrades, they will
omit no opportunity of signalizing their courage, if the
garrison should attempt to quit their walls, which they
will not be long able to defend.

24th, and 25th.—We debonched from the Angouleme bat-
trey, which mounts six 24-pounders, and the works were
pushed to the second pantile], which is formed to-day fif-
teen tam from the section (rospane.) A battery of six
howitzers has been erected to the right of the first parallel.
to batter the interior of the Trocadero, and to enfilade the
comae of the Rio San Pedro against the gun bottle, another
'satiety has been placed at the centre, sod behind the se-
' cond parallel, a battery of mortars is placed in the cen re,
and behind the two former, Lastly, a battery of four
howitzers or the right bank of the San Pedro, takes the
beck of the Trocadero, so that it is battered by six 24-
pndnders, fourteen six-inch howitzers, and two nine and a
Sall inch mortars.

On this side a battery of four 24 pounders is raked op-
poxite the redonhts, which defend the entrance of the canal
or Sjinti Petri, but there, as before the Trocadero. the works
ate impeded by the difficulty caused by the sand, which
every where met with. We shall be obliged to employ bags
of earth and gaberns.
