"Capt. Martin Lane, Jr. on Monday last, in

SURRENDER OF CADIZ.

BY a late arrival at Boston, bringing Gibraltar
dates to the Sd of October, we have received the
important news of the surrender of CadiE. This
event took place on the goth of Sept. We have
no particulars relating to the manner or terms
of the surrender, nor of the affairs which led to
IT, The king, of course, was liberated from the
hands OF the Constitutionalists, and forthwith
proceeded to join his interests with those of his
French cousin. We shall soon hear Of him al
Madrid. The royalists are extremely viRdictive,
and doubtless prepared for the most arbitrary
course against their Frustrated opponets What
has become Of the Cortes we do not learn II i
believed some Of them viii find it necessary 10
procure an asylum on board the French feet, or
seek protection from the fury Of their enemies
either in England or America.
The bold and romantic expedition Of Riego,
has terminated in his defeat, capture and i'm
prisonment.
Some fortresses in Spain are yet held against
the royalists, but will probably soon be obliged
to surrender.

LATEST FROM PERU.-BOLIVAR,

We are indebted to our very attentive cor
respondent at Norfolk, Mr. LlFoRp. for The
latest and very agreeable intelligence from
Lima. He received the news by way of
Kingston, Jamaica, and il is in substance as
follows -
The royalist troops under the Generals CAN
TERAG and LAsE JNE, evacuated Lima in Au-
gust, previous to which they not only levied
a contribution of three hundred thousand dol
lars on the inhabitants, as stated in former
accounts, but burnt the Mint, also the elegant
dwelling Of the Marquis Torfessaghs, with
four other houses. They then marched for
Upper Peru, and the whole of their army is
represented to be about fourteen thousa nd
men.
But the President Liberator, General Boil
war, had arrived from Guyaquil, and was &C.
upied in sending of from Lima troops to rein.
force the combined independent army under
the command of the Peruvian General Santa
Cruz, and the Columbian General Sucre, who
had already with them nearly $4,000 men,
and were about marching 10 attack the Span.
iards.
A letter from Panama, of so late date as
the llth OF Sept. says-''since the CoIombians
and Peruvians have joined, things appear 10
20 on well, and as Gen. Bolivar is al Lima
facilitating the embarkation of troops to Join
the army in Upper Peru, the Spanish army
there is considered in rather critical sis,la
lion! Many of the best informed persons
here consider the contest as drawing TO a
close. The British merchants have despatch
ed fast sailing vessel from Lima for Eng
land, with an account Of the state of affairs in
81 A - N
quilted Guayaquil."
twill be recoliected that we doubted late
account which stated that Bolivar had not
proceeded TO Peru--his presence there, in
such a crisis, is Of incalculabIe value, and we
doubt not bat he will terminate the war in
that highly imPortantsection ofSouthAmerica.

A boy about years Of age, called on DIR.
Cooper. residing in North Fifth-street, and
presented him with bowl Of oysters, nen-
tioning al the same time that he bad been sent
BY one OF his opposite neighbors, who had 90
oyster supper that evening and had sent them
to him as present. The oysters we're re-
ceived, but it was near ten o'clock before
they concluded on eating them, in eonse-
qHence Of Mr.. G. being somewhat surprised
at the name which the boy mentioned on the
delivery of the oysters. He declined eating
them, thinking that the boy had mistaken
the house, and that he would call again.
They waited some time, but no boy returning.
they concluded to eat them, rather than let
them spoil, which, in the course Of half an hour,
operated in most severe manner upon DIR.
and Mrs. Cooper, who we're sick during the
whole night. The next morning physician
was called in, who examined the bowl, IN
which was found sufficient arsenic to poison
at least half dozen persons. Il is hoped
that every exertion will be made 10 bring the
person or persons who may be concerned in
this transaction 10 Justice.
