The following are extracts from these papers :
BATONsrlt. Auccer s.—The mail from Madrid has not
arrived to-day, but we may expect it, as it was overtaken
on the road by an Express which arrived yesterday, and
who brought us an account of an alarm at Madrid on the
31st. in conseqnence of the appearance of a troop of 3 or
400 Constitution! Cavalry at the Toledo and Alcala gates.

Constitutionalists of Madrid had had previous notice of it.
The weak French garrison could hardly have resisted an

likely, however, that it will commence before the end of
next month, if we have troops sufficient to invest it closely.
Last Thurstlay• the garrison made another sally, which
led to an engagement of considerable duration.
We hail several killed and eighty wounded,
who were tik in to the nearest lio-pitals. --It is re-
ported that news has been received by an ex!raortli-
nary Courier, that three English vessels couvoyed by a
frigate. have entered Cadiz, notwithstanding the French
squadron, which desired to hinder them. The letters from
Madrid, which we have just received, contain no inure then
we already know. oitie persons at Madrid thought the
Duke had left the Capital, chiefly, because lee disapproved
of several of the measures of the Regency, and would not
appear to sanction them by his presence The Constitu-
tionalists are at Sevaillo, in tire province of Toledo. It is
said to be a part of the Corps, of Lopez Ratios which has

persons affirm that neguciations are carrying on for on
amicable arrangement, and that Ballasteros has received
orders for that purpose from tbet:onstitational Ministers.
We learn from Logrlno that the ransom partisan
Chapalingua has appeared at Catalonia, with one thou-.
sand and six hundred cavalry. The Gazette of
Madrid of the 3d, says nothing of die armies, nor of the
Duke d'Angouleme. The belief that negotiations are
carrying on is general, but it is not said on what footing.
Marshal lavirision has moved his head quarters from Er naui
to Ttilosa, and it is said he will go further, and thst a 6th
corps will be formed in our city. The Spanish prisoners
are sent to the interior.

A Leeward Island mail has arrived, but we do not brar
it brings any news of importance.

Neither the Paris nor the Bayonne Papers afford las any
fresh accounts of Curunna. They both, however, keep up,
the idea of a negociation for peace, and the Qaotidieane,
with its usual felicity of invention, has published a note
which we have copied into another column, pretended to
have been sent with, that view by the British Uovernwent
to our Minister iu Spain.

We have extracted to-Jay from a Paris journal, an ac-
count we copied yesterday from a note issued bout
the office of a London newspaper, of a Telegraphic despatch,
dated from the head-quarters at Carolina, the 6th of August,
announcing that Ballaeteros had given in his submission,
and acknowledged the Regency. According to a supple-
ment annexed to this despatch, Ballasterus. after his defeat
on the 2btli of July, fled fo the mountains, and 'proposed to
treat for his surrender. The conditions he at first proposed.
it is said, were not thought fit to be accepted, but they
were afterwards reduced, and admitted. All this may
' be true; as we have seen in other instances the influence of
French intrigue and French gold upon the minds of Spa-
niel' officers brought up in the school of " the Absolute
King ;" hut if the circumstances have actually occurred,
there must he some error in the dates. It is not likelr.hat
news of the 6th of Angus., relative to events in Grenada,
could have been received at Paris on the 9th ; for from
Grenada to Madrid the course of post is known to
be at least three days, and two days tnere are re-
quisite to reach Bayonne, where the line of tele-
graphs commences. A private letter dated from Paris,
August 10th, states that General Banister's!' had resigned
the command of the second army of the Constitutionalists;
and we learn that it was known in London; last week, that
General Quiroga had been appointed to succeed him. But
it is not unlikely that he had been infected. either with the
earn° aristocratic notions, orwith the same corruptions that
prevail among the higher ranks in Spain. It appears by
the Bayonne papers received to-day, that, even before his
shameful defeat, it was reported at Bayonne he was en-
gaged in some negociation with the French. Persons not in
