THE STATESMAN

probation of his Royal Highness the Prince General in
Chief. Accept, &c.
" The Marshal Commander in Chief of the Fifth Corps
of the Army of the Pyrenees.
(Signed) " Marquess of LAURISTON."
"Head•quarters, Orcayen, Sept. 19.
"The Spanish garrison of Pompeian& left it this morn-
ing at five o'clock, for St. Jean Pied de Port, with an escort
of two battalions anti a squadron, to pr 'ect it against the
armed volunteers and the inhabitants, who are greatly ex-
asperated ; for in the last 'hree years many horrors have
been committed in Paropelana.
"The garrison was 3,800 men; 3,433, including 300
[ officers, are gone off. Many have taken their wives with
them. The wounded who were able have chosen to ga.
with the garrison; 170 sick and wounded remain in the
hospitals. I know not how many were killed during the
siege. About 200 of the royal guard who were compelled
to serve have been discharged, and I shall send them to
Madrid. Fifty soldiers and 7 officers of the Army of the
Faith were in the prisons. In the garrison were 150 gun-
ners of the corps of artillery, and above 100 of the militia
of the city, very ell exercised, and 2or 300 auxiliaries of
the infantry, who had been long trained to•this kind of
service, but when our fire commenced, it was so well•
directed and so murderous, that it soon threw them into
confusion. They were terrified at the development of our
trench, and crushed by our artillery, the fire of which was
such, that in four hours it forced the garrison of the
citadel and all the gunners to take refuge in the town,
abandoning loaded gnus, some of which were even primed,
and which they had not dared to discharge. Seven bombs
fell on the powder magazine, which was happily proof,
but all the other buildings are very mush damaged. As
the embrasures of the citadel are faced with stone, every
ball that struck one, wounded several of the gunn..rs and
attendants. According to the report of the Spanish officers
of the garrison, the signal gun was so well directed that
t killed three gunners at their piece. Accept, &c.
"Marshal LACRISTON."

[Here follow two despatches, one from Marshal Moncey
and the other from General Rottemberg, to the Minister o
War, relative to the surrender of the Spanish division of
2,000, commanded by Brigadier Fernandez, who, havin,
been foiled in all his endeavours to reach Figueras,
capitulated on the 16th to General Darius. There was
some difficulty about 120 desei ters, to whom General Dimas,
to prevent further effusion of blood, promised their lives,
but nothing more.]
The Journal des Debars gives the following intelligence
in a letter from Port St. Mary, dated Sept. 14:—
The Prince Generalissimo, who went to Chiclana to in-
spect the batteries and the preparations for an attack on
Santi Pietri, has returned here to hasten the completion
of the formidable batteries which are constructing at the
point of the Matagorda and the Isle of St.Lutrii, in order to
destroy Puntalee.
It appears that the Ministry is changed at Cadiz. It is
said that the new Minister for Foreign Affairs bas again
' had recourse to Sir IV. A'Court, to whom he addressed, at
Gibraltar, -a melancholyepistle on the situation of Cadiz. Sir
William communicated to the Duke of Angouleine the new
propositions made by the besieged. but his Royal Highness
replied that it was now too late, and that he hail henceforth
resolved, though with regret, to take by force what he had
not been able to obtain by reason.
Admiral l)uperre is expected between the lath and the
20th, and immediately on his arrival the general attack will
take place.
The Madrid Gazette is voted for the number of French
troop which have entered Spain by the way of Iron, and
which is stated to be 95,780. Of this number, 164 are
stated to have returned to France in health, and 63'i sick.
The number of Spanish prisoners sent into France is said
to be only 23-7. The artillery which entered by this
road is said to consist of 109 pieces of cannon, and 35
howitzer+.
The Restaurados has published the following list of the
French fleet before Cadiz, viz. :
Sures oe THY Ling.—The Centanre, of 36 guns, 36
and 24 pounders ; the Co!osse. 80; the 't rident,
ParcaTzs.—The Unerriere, GO guns, 3ti.pqnn.lers; the

It is stated, on the authority of the Reset:um/or, that
the capitulation concluded between Molitor and Ballaste-
ros has been annulled by the Duke d'Angonleme, oe ac-
count of the defection of the troops of the latter, and their
readiness to )oin Were.

SATURDAY EVENING. SEPTEMBER 27, 152.3.

STOCK EXCHANGS, 12 O'CLOCK.—Consols opened this
morning at 83 to I, money, and 831, to for account, with
little doing.

The Expresses from Paris brine the French Rentes at
90, 30; but private letters state them at 911, 10. They also
report that the fall of Cadiz is soon carried.

above market.

We have received to-day, by Express, Paris Papers of
Thursday evening, and of yesterday morning; of which the
following are vxtracts
(room THZ !TOILE OF arm 21.)•
GRAND HEAD-QUA Rms.
The Duke d'Angonleme it still here. We expect• the day
after to-morrow Rear Admiral Doperre. They coutiatte to

throw bombs on Sand Petri. The sea is good, and the
wind is from the north, blowing favourable for our opera-
tions. The taking of Puntales will decide the question.
ANDUJAR, 56P1'..17.-At length we have the certitude
that Riego will not any longer fatigue oar troops who
were in continnal pu,suit of him. At the moment I am
writing you, he is here in prison. We expected him
yesterday evening at 5 o'clock. All the people of Andu-
jar were on foot, and the fermentation was so great amongst
the people, that we thought at one period that the small
Icamber of troo?s which composed the garrison of the
town were not sufficient to prevent their coming to extre-
mities. entered the town, escorted by .10 Men of
the 4'h Hussars, end some peasants who arrested him ; the
lsttter did not lose sight of him for a moment. On his
entering here, Riego had on one side of him an English
Colonel who was taken prisoner with him. They were both
on horseback, dressed in grey coats, without any decora-
tions. This evening the 500 prisoners, taken at (inter by
the Chasseurs of the Guard, were brought here. They are
placed in a Convent.
MADRID, Sept. 20.—Government has received accounts
direct from Cadiz of the 14th. Their Majesties, and the
Royal Family, were in good health.
We are waiting great events which will take place under
the walls a Cadiz ; hut we can announce, as remarkable,
that today the Guardstle corps, who are at Madrid, have
received orders to hold themselves in readiness to march
for!Andalusis.—(flestaurador.)
Pants, Sept. ts.—The Journals of Madrid do not notice
the report, which was spread, that the Ambassadors of the
great Powers have been called to Port Saint Mary's ; there-
fore we must believe they were not wanted, or they have
refnsed.—(From the Memorial Bordelais.)
Vrrronta, Sept. lS.—We are assured that the King has
refused to sign certain conditions, proposed by General
Alava, which the Cortes were anxious to have done. Great
movements hate been observed in the maritime prepara-
tions, which indicate a vigorous attack against the Island
of Leon.

PUTCCIII34 Sept. 17.—News has ben "spread that the
Constitutionalists were attacked by the Baron d`F.roles, in
the Val de Rives, and that 500 men were killed and the rest
took to flight.
Ax, Sept. 19.—They write from Pitycerda, under the
date of yesterday, that there is nothing to fear on the sub-
ject of the movement of the Constitutionalists, who are
between Camprodon and Olot, and who are pursued by
Baron d'Eroles and a French General.
BAYONNIt, Sept. B.—The capitulation of Cuidad
Rodrigo is announced today. The Governor of that
place is a particular friend of Morino.
NRPIGNAN, Sept. 17.—1 t is asserted that several French
refugees and Piedmontees have been shot, in sight of the
Citadel of Figueras. This fortress will not resist much
longer.

(PROM THE PILOTE, SEPT. 26.)
Mamma, Sept. U.—The last journey of General Alan
to St. Mary's, had for its object, to inform the Duke d'An-
croulenie that the Constitutional Government would not
agree to his propositions, and that it was decided to main.
t tin the Constitution to the last moment of their breath.—
rie division of Quesalla is entirely destroyed in the affair
of Torre:nacho. The French &assents, who bad joined
that division, it is said, by the intrepidity of their Chief
were exposed to a superior force, anti a certain number o;
them were made prisoners. The Constitutionalists bad
900 cavalry.

11‘voNNe, September 20.—We have not yet circum-
slantial accounts of the t.tking of Patnpeluna. We only
know that the citadel was occupied on the 17th by the
French, and that the troops of the Faith did not enter the
citadel, nor the town, as they wished to do. Their Gen.
Count d'Espagne is greatly enraged that he could not take
possession of the capital of his Viceroy,—that of iaa•
VS

There is a long Report from Guilleminot, dated Port St.
Mary, September 15, on the affair of Ballasteros and
Itiego. lie calls it new det ails from Gen. Molitor.
A report prevails on 'Change that the taking of Riego
wants confirmation. It is also said that the Equinoctial
gales, Web blew haul on the sth, have forced our fleet from
off Cadiz, and that the vessel which obstinately wanted to
keep its station, has suffered much.
There has not talcen place any serious engagement either
by sea or by land, in the environs of Cadiz.
It is said that an important pie& is circulated at Paris.
It is a copy of a new Constitution by the Cortes, and
sanctioned by the merchants and Sir %William A'Court.
The Moniteur is silent as yet on the taking of Gener I
Itiego, member of the Cortes, and :lid-de-Camp of his Ma'
jesty Ferdinand VII. We cannot consider the letter of th
Duke Reggio as official: it does not confirm it positively.
The Etoile announces yesterday that bombs have been
thrown on Santi Petri. We think that the Etoitc must be
deceived, if the distance is examined which separates the
point and that occupied by our armies. The public must
be convinced that it must be projectiles of an extraordinary
ulture to reach that point. This information is so palpable
a falsehood, that it cannot remain long without being re-
fitted.

By the arrival of a wail from Holland this morning, we
have accounts from Batavia of the 23th of March, but they
are not of general interest. The following are extracts
from Dutch Papers of the 24th inst., and Limburg of the
19th inst

BRUSSELS, SEPT• 22.-09 r papers begin to speak at
ready of various changes in tt:e administration. The object
is to simplify the transaction of the public business, and
effect a reduction in the expeuces. A reduction of the army
is spoken of. The public seems to take much interest in tli•
proceedings of the Chamber of Commerce, thanking bis
Majesty for his advice of 22d Augus•.
We understand that the bureaus of the Ministers will leave
