STOCK EICKAKOI, 12 o'CLocx.—Consols opened this
morning at 9:21, with .not much business doing. The re-
port of the answer of the King of Spain to the Duke d'An,

voila• of an Express having arrived from Paris, but no par-
tical,ir news has as yet transpired.
Accounts from the environs of Sett, of the 24th of Aug.
state that they expected Baron Brehm, wbo was person-
ally
to treat with the Governor of that fort. A Colonel,
with an Aid-de-camp. left the above fort, on the 13th, for
the head-quarter., had not yet returned. The artillery of
the fort war continually firing► bombs aid balls. and the ad-•
%mitred post. were also keeping up a heavy fire. The writer

from Ferpicnan of the 25th of Aug. states, that a report
prevails that evening, that the fort of Figueras surrendered.
There was a great firing heard in the morning; but the
report requires confirmation. They state. from Salamanca
of the 16th of Aug that the Captain General of the Pro-
Once, has published a Proclamation, in which, he announces
the complete blockade of Cuidad Roderiego.
They write from (Groom', of the 26th of August, that on
the 22d, at. 4 o't lock in the evening, ad officer, who was
very ill, came outof the fort of Figneras, far whom the Go-
vernor solicited permission to go into the town. With this
officer came a Chief of Battalion as a flag of truce. who was
received by Colonel Cornier. Commandant of the Place,
who conducted him blindfold to the Marshal de Cawp.

The fate of Cornnna is no longer doubtful. It appears
to have been surrendered to M3IIILLO, on the Slit inst.,
and we have only to rejoice, that it has been defended so
long, and purchased so dearly by the invaders. Tlieri is
still one mystery, as to the negotiations. How .Morillo
could have been selected as the person to whoitHMtlarren-
der should be m►de, appears irreconcilable with the disgust
which his previous treason must have inspired among the
brave defee.ders of the Constitution at Cora►na. We
must wait for the elucidation of these circumstances.

willingly, or unwillingly, as the Duke addrrsseti his :f
to the King, it was fitting that the tine shoul I
reply, and tell this Royal bandit, that " the
" which has been shed in this unkt.t war would
" recoil upon the heads of Louis NVIII. and all Frrra
" men; and that they are responsible before Goo for all
" the evils
_that may happen either to Ferdinand, or to his
" family." This is to put the question in its true light.
The Frestskusonarch, his ministers, his family, and ail his
voluntary agents, are so many contrivers and perpetrators
of. thousands of barbarous and unprovoked murders ; for
which, if power did not take them out of the operation of
ordinary justice, they would individually and collectively
merit the gibbet. All the blood that has been shed, or tin:
Will hereafter be spilt, lies upon their heads; and we
. st that none of them will escape from this life
Without the signal retribution which their crimes deserve,
Surely the people of Prance will not long permit the
Illdarbons to heap infamy upon the nation, by their thirst
for the blood of the unoffending, and by carrying all the
terrible scourges of war among millions of onoffending in.
dividuals, for their amusement, or for the gratification of
their despotic desires. The last revolution in France ori-
gin.uted in a justifiable endeavour to throw off the yoke of
an imbecile and ferocious faction ; but a revolution that
should bort 'from the throne of that kingdom, i family re
called to it by foreign force, and filling it without
any regard to the commonest principles of justice
either at home or abroad, would be an event
which the universe would applaud, as jumped•
ously necessary, and superlatively glorious. Nor can
we believe that the public mind of France is not con.
templating :his, as an inevitable result of the hostility of
the Bourbons to the spirit of the age. The means of
preventing the expression of public opinion in France are
*ell known; and it frequently breaks into irresistible ac.

The French papers affect to be extremely sanguine as
•
to the result of the attack babe made on the Isle de Leon
on the Day of the fete of St. Louis. One of them remarks
that when Cadis was before attacked by the French, it was
defended by 25,000 English, Spanish, and Portuguese
troops; while it has now but 8,000 ; and that on the prior
occasion; the English had the dominion of the Sea ; while
the ascendancy there now is In favour of the French. The
account should have gone on to add, that en the blockade
by Napoleon the French army was of three times its pre-
sent strength,—that it was well officered, and well ap-
pointed—that it bad nothing to apprehend from any move-
ments in its rear—and that, with all these advantage efit
never ventured to make one serious attack. The parade wits
which the French talk of this intended enterprise convinces us
that if made, it will have been forced upon them by circum-
stances. Every day weakens their strength. In a short
time the prevalence of contrary winds would drive away
their squadron, and thus disappoint them of any co-opera-
tion by sea. If, therefore, they meditate an attempt to carry
the place by force of arms, this is the moment for them to
make the effort; but ti:e chances against their succeeding
are as a hundred tonne. If Bellaateros be yet honest is
intention, and has only entered into i silly convention upon
the expectation of an arrangement with the Cortes, his pe-
tition enables Him, on resuming hostilities, to do consider-
able mischief to the French before Cadiz; and in the event
of the disorganization of the blockading army, by the de-
feat of the contemplated attack, the raising of the blockade'
will be a matter of sheer necessity.
The French say, that" all is going on well in Catalonia,"
and if they are satisfied, the friends of the Constitutional
cause have no right to be otherwise. Not a fortress there
is yet taken ; and the blockades, as they are called, ate
miserable farces. For instance, we are told that the
"6 corps of Militia and Lloberas, having lost all hopes of
" retiring on the Sen d'Urirel (though they were a day's.
" march in advance of the French, and could choose their
route) made a movement en Tarragona; but being
" closely fbllowed, a part of them could only get in that
" place ; and 51ilans, with a part of his force, was 44'4
to take a position without the walls of that town,theideek.'
ad. of which was perfectly prepared. The Marshal Duke
"of Corn eglia no no woccupi th his head quarters,a village
" almost under the walls of Tarragona, and a ;mayor troops
" aiameuvred yesterday,preparatory to an attack on Milans."
This is the drollest account we ever read; though the
New Times calls it a excellent ;" and says Milans is
" locked op in 'I arragona !" In plain English, the account
stands this:—Milans having been locked rep in Barcelona,
thinks proper to unlock himself, and amnee himself with
several days' march through the province. The French
pursue him; that is, they follow at a very respectfal dis-
tance; and though he travels with a convoy of swine and
400 bullocks, they never overtake him. They suppose he
is marching to relieve the Sen d'Urgel ; and they leave his
way quite open; but when be turns into the direction of I
Tarragona, they say lie " has lost all hopes of retiring
upon the Seu," upon which lie was in reality advancing ;
and lie then chuses to march upon a town. " the blockade
"of which was perfectly prepared." As he was closely
followed, of canes, he was about to place himself between
the fire of his pursuers, and the blockaders of Tarragona.
But with his usual good fortune, a part el his force, (pro-
bebly
the swine and the bullocks,) get into the town.
without any resistance from the blockaders; while Milano
himself, and part of his army, though so very " closely'
pursned," instead of hiding themselves in the town.
which they must have had time enough to enter, take
up a position outside Me walls! Well, of course, the
pursuers came up with them now ! There they have thee,

although Moncey himself is at a village almost under the
walls of Tarragona ; and mast therefore be within sight of
the position which ()metal Miens is said to have taken
