POST.' We, received last night, by express, French tlapers to the SOth instant. 'The ~/Koniteur of Friday contains, we lament to say, a telegraphic .dispatch from Bayonne, which announces the .sureenth.r of Pampeluna. ThEi French artillery is said to have ruined the citadel and silenced its, tire, when both thetoWn anti' the citadel cd ,pitulated. The garrison, it appears, would not join the Rebel Standard, but' preferred being marched into France. The same M oniteur publishes another Bulletin from Marshal Moncey, who seems terribly alarmed at the unexpected landlug of a Constitutional body of 1400 infantry 'and thirteen hors.emen from Barcelona:in his rear. Be httaches as much importance to the movements of, this handfut-of men, et if they were those of an artny,'and descants on the possibility ocilkeir raising the blotkade of Figueras of Hps. talrich, as if those plums -were not blockaded by much larger, nuoibers. It 'appears as though every Officer formed under the active and'heroic Mina- had .itubibed with the enterprising spirit the. Skill :of his- Chief ; for Brigadier Fer. nandez, who commands this tittle troop, seems to mancenvre among the 'detached bodies of the French and the Sotdiers of the Faith-, with as much ease and successes his great predecessor.— Either the act ms which Moncey has had. with the Constitutionalists, have impressed him with  an extraordinary dread of their valour, or else his army'must have been reduced by incessant marches and counter-marches, by disorders and the sword, to a very inefficient condition, otherwise he never could have felt so much terror at the appearance of so trifling a force on his rear. The garrison of Barcelona'made a general sortie on the 10th inst, and attacked several points of the French lines. Moncey boasts, as usual, that they were ultimately repulsed, that is to say, that having done the French all the harm in their power, they of coarse retired within their walls. This, which must be the case whenever the garrison of a besieged town makes a sortie, is used, by the French Commander as a proof of victory, but cannot for a moment blind those who look to causes as well as to effects.  [NEW Timxs.] The important intelligence of the surrender of Pumpeluna is said to have been notified by a Telegraphic Dispatch received at Paris on Friday. Of this event we have us yet no other intelligence : it is, however, extremely probable.— The garrison are said to -be prisoners of war. The capture of Santona we have already noticed. Cadiz, we earnestly hope, will fall by capitulation rather than by assault. The inevitable waste of human life which must attend the capture, by assault, of so populous a place, cannot be contemplated without horror. It is probable, too, that if matters should be driven to such an extremity, there would be much previous bloodshed between the parties within the walls. Possibly the Royal Person itself would be attacked. Not that we conceive the Cortes, by themselves, or by a Committee, would venture on such an act; but individual fury and fanaticism might be beyond controut. We are well aware that all the Radical part of the English Press would exult in the murder of King Ferdinand, simply as an act of regicide ; but on that very ground we Constitutionally deprecate so fatal an event. We say the Royal inviolability is a great constitutional principle in our own Government, which principle would be practically weakened by the public murder of any lawful Sovereign.— In the domestic relations of life, to see a parent treated with cruelty is a great lesson of i►nmorality to all children : in the political relations, to behold subjects trampling on their Sovereign, confounds and shakes the general sentiment of loyalty in all countries. Accordingly, we always the enemies of the British Constitution rejoicing in the deposition and slaughter of Princes by their rebellious subjects. Every such example they regard as a precedent to justify the contempt and hatred which they labour to stir up against their own Monarch and his Government. If persons would reflect fairly on this subject, they would see the true reason of nine-tenths of the declamation that we bear against the Crowned Heads of Europe in general. They are inulted, calumniated, and vilified, not because'they are tyrants, for in fact they are not such ; but because they are Kings. This may be consistent enough hi avowed Democrats ; but in those who have any real attachment to the British Constitution, it is gross folly and inconsistency.
