London papers of the evening of the 6th September, have been received at New-York and Philadelphia. No important event is mentioned The 'Courier" has, however, changed ita tone, fronv whence i! is inferred -that the situation of affairs at Cadiz is such as to g%e consii.erablc uneasiness to th© French government—that every attempt at negociat.ion has failed—that the war lingers, the summer is wasting,, and the rains were about to commence, &c» Hence, the French ministry, are extremely anxious to end the campaign.
