Capt. Gray from Gibraltar, arrived here,
has brought well authenticated information,
that the City Of CddiS icas surrendered 10 the
French arms on The e9h September aud that
King Ferdinand aud his Family had passed
from Cadz TO the Head Quarters of the Duke
pAnSuuleme.
Gibraltar papers and letters TO the Sd of Oc-
iober afford numerous articles conhrmat0ry OF
Tile above important news, and of the events
which led thereto.
GIBRALTAR, Sept. e3.- Semi-ofica ac-
counts from St. Mary, announce, that on Sa-
turday night last the French succeeded in TAX
ing by assaultthe important castle of Santi Pc
trl, the key Of the Isle nf Leon.'
Gibraltar, Oct. Q. Extract ola letter.1-
We have important bews.-Thc gates Of the
Temple of Janus are again shut in Europe
CadIz has surrendered, and Ferdinand is al Ii
oerty. Every thing at ST. Mary was in exta-
cy. The King was received BY his cousin the
Duke d'AngsuIeme, and the Duke del Infan-
tado, President ofthe Regency, with every de-
monsiratioD of respect and f.stivty. He will
set of Immediately for Madrid. We hear no
thing Of the fate ofthe COrtes. Many of them
must, il is said, emigratp TO avoid assassination
or persecution. The French will allow them
an asylum on board their feet. The Royal
ISIS are all on tip.toe and are extremely vim
ulctIve; and the COnsiIiutioDalists as much
chOp-iaeD. The former expect the com
mfncement of new era in the affairs of Spain,
WIN the revival Of commerce, manufactures,
the ants, and agriculture, and also The restOrd-
non, t0iM French aid, Qfhe colonies All the
lOrtresses which have held out were only
waiting the events Of Cadiz TO capiluate. The
most unhappy men in this state of lhings are
the infatuated French outlaws and enigrants,
VINO have taken very active part in the hope

whatever his political feelings, and who has
mad an acquaintance with the dispositions aud
habits the great mass of The Spanish nation,
has calculated that the war would end with
The campaign, g. that there WAS not the small
est chance Of the existence of any successful
opposition to th, French But these people
have made different calculations, and their dis
appointment has been great. They must n,

hln"-ienths of the Spanish people, including
the peasaniry, have seen with pleasure an o.
Der of things established by the bayOnet, put
Gpwn by the sword. II is thought that neither
Despotsm nor the IuquisiiiOn will be re-esta-
onsbed 10 Spain, and that Ferdinand will he
