PARIS, SEPT. 1.-Extract of a letter
from Pcrt st. Mary's. Aug. 2e.-"ht
length the moment has come, when we
are to attack the rrocadero. The works
are all completed, and we have now
onlV 10 establish batteries.
"ihere have arrived this morning
OF ships which come TO reinforce the
squadron. They bring warlike stores.
and provisions of ell kinds. Amongst
them is La Cybele frigate, which
conveyed to Lisbon the baron HYDE de
Melville +; she is accompanied by the
Portuguese corvetes, which are sent by
his most faithful majesty.
AUGUST IS" The works before
the irocadero arc carried on with great
Vigor. Tomorrow morning the trench
WILDE sufficiently advanced to enable US
TO open our fire. The enemy attempted
the Gay before yesterday, in the morning,
to land three hundred and fifty men at
the mead ct the trench. A COMPANY OF
votigeu:s rushed upon a4 breast work,
and forced them shamefully TO retire,
leaving Is or % dead or wounded upon
the place. They now avenge themselves
for the failure by keeping up continual
fire, which has killed one man and
wounded four or five,
Ihis has been the only result Of
cannonade which they have maintained
during three days,almost without ceasing.
A much more important attack Is
medllated. The armed chaloupes at
Seville and here are ready they will
speedily form a junction with the fleet.
Twelve battaliops, five of which are OF
the guard, are at this moment assembled
at Roia. Our gun boats left the ROADS
this evening, under the fire ofthc enemy,
to receive on board all the troops
assembled at Rota. Two ships of our
squadron are to convoy them 10 the
southwark of the Isle de Leon, there 10
act so as to protect the landing of our
troops by silePcing the enerny's batteries.
LONDON, SEPT. SIT has been limited
that gen. Bailas.eros did not submit to
the regency, but only entered into an
armlstice with the French 20 await The
result OF the negotiations with the
constitutional king in Cadiz. Several
letters from Paris give much probability
to this idea, for they not only assert, that
an arrangement of this description had
been entered into, but they even limit It's
duration TO the 24th Of Aug. which the
duke d'ADgouleme granted to the cortes
to consider whether they would surrender
the liberties of their country or bravely
resist its nemies.
These letters also mention that gen.
Molitor did not pass into Andalmsia,
which certainly he would have done, had
Ballasteros submitted to the Regency,
