SPAlN.-By vessel which arrived yes
terday from Cadiz. accounts have been re-
ceived, stating that the plumber found in the
possession of Dupont and his army was
publicly exhibited at the custom house in
that city, tor the purpose of assuring the
citizens that such plumber had been made in
spain. Among the articles of plumber were
a number of vases, crucifxes, and other ar
ticles OF that description, stolen from the
spanish Chapels; there are also some bags
OF gold coin, termed Napoleons, which were
sent to Dupont, no doubt, for the purpose of
corruption.
Dupont is Confined at ST. Sebastian, in
consequence of his misconduct, and he is
allowed twenty-four reals, about SIS. British
per Gay tor subsistence. The confinement
OF this officer is ascribcd, among other Cir
cumstances already known, to the following
iact: very shortly after he had surrendered.
dupont dispatched confidential officer to
'uhot, advising him strongly to march into
Andalusla, and stating to him that victory
Wouid be certain, from various causes, which
were described, and particularly that should
the main body of the Spanish army be drawn
away, IN consequence of ain alarm of his
approach, he (Dupont) had the means of
railyIugth French prisoners, and aiding the
object OF Junot. The officer was intercept
co. ana his letter examined and the natural
consequence was the immediate Imprison-
ment of Dupont.
POR UG AI.-Some accounts from Por-
tugal state, that the Portuguese army have
taHen a very menacing position and have
distinctly animated to Sir Hew Dalrymplc
that theY will resist the fulhlment of the
ConVenlon-nay more, that they will CON
sider any movement OF the English army,
with a view to facilitate the embarkation Of
t'tc French force, as an hostile act. The

Extract of a letter dated Liverpool, 26th
Sept. 1903.
Our market for grain has been heavy
the last week, and prices at full reduction
of Cd to Is. per busliel. Cotton has also
been dull and very little doing. At the
commencement Of the week report was in
circulation that France had declared war
against America, and expected to raise the
embargo: to this some credit was attached
at the moment, though since considered as
unfounded; it, however, had such an effect
upon some of the Spectators, that they at
tempted sales at reduction of full I'd. per
10. and some Of them were successful, bat
TO small extent, and even at n loss they
now appear Stcaditr, but it has given a
check TO speculation while the trade holds
back The Brazil feet only brings 5000
bags to the who,c kingGoJ0. Of which a
small proportion has reached this town. and
the whole is far short Of expectation. 1t i,
