through the medium Of a faction, is not very
secure, and this interference and direct co-op-

avenge themselves for the failure by. keeping

only result of a cannonade which they have
maintained during three days, almost without
ceasing. A much more important attack is

MADRID, Aug. 27.-All eyes are turned to-
wards CadIz. Every one is procuring maps
of the hay, and each is occupied in carrying on
his own siege. The French officers, who srry-
ed in the first blockade, under Marshal Victor,
observe that at that period the Isle of Leon
was defended by brave army Of from 25 to
$4,000 men, English and Portuguese, while
at present the garrison does not contain more
than or 5000 men, divided in their scnli
ments and opinions. At the former period

that the attack will be made in the night of

LONDON, Sept I've have received no
positive confirmation this morning of the in
iei'lgence contained in our Paris letter of
yesterday, respecting the reply giving to the
Ministers of Ferdinand but from one or two
circumstances, we feel an increased confidence
IN lis authenticity. We should hope, howe
yer, that one part OF the statement is not cor
rect, and that the document is not an auto
graph of the King. We express this hope, be-
Cause we are persuaded the alleged SEMI
mrnts Of the letter cannot be the sentiments
OF Ferdinand, and TO suppose any power that
can compel man deliberately TO write
string Of falsehoods, is, to say the least of il.
a suggestion not very favorable to the indi-
vidual's firmness of character. Tyranny and
violence may impose upon captive passive
snfierings and indignities, but they have no
tontroul over the voluntary acts of mind true
to itself, and steady tits purpose. Should it,
therefore, turn ont that an answer of defiance
and contempt has been given to the letter of
the Prince Generalissimo, we trust it will
prove to be the letter of Ferdinand's gaolers.

Cadiz will doubtless be attacked whether
it will fall, is doubtful. Some persons have
imagined, that the Cortcs and Ministry would
not stand the hazard of lis fall ifthey thought
the event probable, because they would only
expose themselves to personal consequences
which they might avoid by listening to terms
Of accommodation. This reasoning would
have its weight if applied 10 an ordinary case
of siege, but 1t must BIZ remembered that here
the defying party hold in their hands the Ger.
tain means of their own ultimate security
The walls OF Cadiz may I've battered down
the CITY may be- set on ire-its streets may
run CONSERVATION and ruin may pre-
vail IN every quarter-but the authors Of all
this misery and mischief, when the last mo-
ment arrives, will bargain for their own safely
by making it the price Of The safety of the
Royal Family. [B.
