STAlN.
Nav YORK, August On a more
Ieisurely examination OF our Cadiz pa
pers, we fad numerous details of occur
rences IN that city and the DeIghborhood,
from which we have selected such as are
most interesting at this important crisis.
The description OF Barcelona gwen be
low, we have translated from late French
paper. Ii will be remembered that the
last news concerning that city represents
ed it as occupied by Generals Nina. Rot
ten, and Sasrheld, and Col. San Miguel,
tho were diligently preparing 1t ior a
siege and blockade, by which it was
threatened by the French forces.

A correspondent OF the Constitution
ap' mentions that be has Just arrived from
Bordeaux, and observed in all the places
through which be passed that the people
were suffering many caiamities, and that
the greater part oil those who occupied lne
highest PLACES, were the authors OF the
present unhappy state OF Spain.
Don Vicente Sancho, governor OF Car

June, IN which be makes every inhdbl-

Its said that the French government
have ordered the Regency a, Madrid 10

jaime Alfonso, who still continues to be
the terror OF the faCtious ana French

,By an official letter from Hueivs, Isl
miles from Cadiz,) it appears that Col
Amor, with squadron OF his regiment OF
Lusl,anians, and TOO ,patrlois, horse and
foot, which he had connected, attacked
and dispersed the faction OF Count Penne,

The Expectador, in rejecting on the
various modes by which the Frenchs may
have proposed the reduction OF Cadiz,
mentions these three: force, Intrigue, and
hunger In opposition to the hrst may be
cited the recent experience OF b0naparte,
who, with all his Immense means, was
contounded before oar walls. The com
mand OF the sea, i! IS true, compensates
our enemies al the present time tor other
deficiencies out We must redoubie our

orr southern coast on The royal road, and
al every other point which is deemed ne
cessary by those learned IN the art OF de-
tenGing towns and places. Beside tins all
prudence requires that we should be
found prepared al all points 10y an enemy
anxious only 10 overthrow our govern
ment,
With regard to the second mode--in-
trjgue--it may well be believed that Int,
tie effect can be produced IN a place IN
which are assembled the most active po-
litical men in the kingdom, an army who
have attracted the admiration OF Europe;
and where are TO be found very few IN
deed oil the lowest class OF the people.
On this point the hopes OF the enemy are
indeed teebly grounded.
As To the probamllly OF a reduction by

cult than hs. been supposed to reduce US
into extremity we ought 10 take care to
provide every thing necessary 10 meet the
measure proposed by the enemy. which is
10 occupy the whole coast from Alicant TO
Alsesifas; and besides, TO arm as many
gun boats as possible, and increase our
light forces
From the Gdceta Espdnold,
10 the Paris MoDileur OF June I'd, it is
remarked, that the people OF Madrid. on
the entrance OF The French, were so deep.
