FRANCE AND SPAIN.
These papers furnish TWO important arti
cies ofinteyisence. THE GOVERNMENT
OF PORTUGAL HASJOINED FRANCE
IN HER WAR AGAINST SPAIN, and
sent a naval force Ia aSsis; in The siege of Ca
tiiz : and the Torcadrrn, IL fortress in the
isiapd nf Leon has been taken poss,ssion of
by the troops under The Duisr of AugNuene.
.Should the latter part at this intelligence.
which comes in an nilical shape through the
Monitrur or the 18th of September, prove cor
rect, as we fear il will, il is a most upfavoura-
ile cnnuiepr"nent OF the attack upon Cadi2.
For the last two months, wc haze been tnid
that Valdez. the Governor of CaJiz, vino isre-
gardrd in the whole of the French amy rs
very alr:t man, and WIN has hren complete
~ master of all thr operations of defrucr, has
bent Ihr ~ hole Of his attention tn foItify this
pnini Hc has separated II f,una the neigh
boring Lind ny II trench Sc or 10 fatloms in
breadth, iuin nhch the sea enters, and FLIED
this immense chasn with II great number of
gun-hoats, placing ship OF war at the en-
trance. Ii WAS the opinion of the persons
who had seen the work, tina, it would render
an attack on the 'rrucadcr" if not impractical
bile, at least productive uf an immense luss of
life. Upto The very last hour, the London
Times WAS very shpguine of the moral i,npOs-
sibility Of the French taking this fortress. The
peninsula Frocadern, comprising the forts
Trocadero, ST. Joseph and Matagorda, shuts
up tue eu,rancr OF the inner port, lraving be-
tween the fnrt hla,ngor,ii and Puntales a
channel of nnly about 500 toisrs wide. Pom
tales Is built On point of sand which also
bears the name az Pontales, and this point is
at the end Of the causeway which uniies the
island Of Leon.
We have given the bulletin OF the 26th. con-
tanning The details of the preparations making
for the attack upon the Trucadero because
we had put it in type before we discovered the
later and mare important news. The reader
viii also tind below, despatch from Marshal
Money, dated August &c, at Torr"drmbarro,
IN Catal"uia, which gives the particulars uf M
engagement at Al,afulla, with IA body of near
5000 Constituonalists. being the principal
part the garrison of Tarragona, whom he
defeated with thr loss of go killed and consi-
derable number wounded. The French loss
is stated NJ six killrd-Ia great number for the
French to admit having been killed land
eighty wounded = twenty of them seriously.
A Paragraph dated Mataro, Sept. lst, says:-
The Freneh We're on the poiol 81. taking pos

the part of three Spanish Rnyast officers,

Three weeks after the capituation of Bal
lasferos, the news had not been received in
Cadiz, IN a manUer that induced the people

says at Blllasteros, 90 they have now given

keeps MulitOr's corps constantly employed in

say hr has been deeply compromised nv
his former conduct, that he can entertain no
hope of mercy from the King if restored TO

shows the little confidence that is placed in
capiluIatiOB which h. entered into in "a moment
Of danger aud difficulty.' Neither French
nor Spanish accounts say any thlng nf this ;
and an article dated Port ST. Mary, August
