On Saturday the following letter was received by a Spanifh Merchant in the City : CADIZ, 110 V. 17, titchs. In confequence of the arrival of a courier from Madrid, the following notice was yefterdo iffued by the Governor : • His Molt Cathodic blajefty being jallly irritated by the fre quent infults lately offered to his flag.has determined vs repeal% and on a fequeltratios of all Anti& property within his dm' nicass.".--The letter adds, on the in-us:Aged= of this notice the istronit coafternation pervaded every p art of the city." Whether the Spanith Corrcfpondent has given the precife diplomatic terms we cannot fay d but we have no lout of the general correanefs of the whole Rath ment. The counter declaration of our Government waits only for the arrival of Mr. Feats. That Gen tleman. it is now underflood, embarked at Lifbon, on board the Towns nano packet, with Lord and Lady HOLLAND, having been previnufly joined by Mr. lioavaa, whom he left behind at Madrid. The TIIWIIitItt4D was expeeted to arrive nearly a fortnight finer, but has been, moil probably, detained by the caaerly gales, beating about the chops of the Channel. We ought at the fame time to Rate that there are other letters in town from Madrid, dated the 3d in!l. which are intirely filent no the fobjea of the war.— This filence, however, does not in any way take from the probability of fpeedy bofilities, for letters from Cadiz Rate, that a coofifcation of Britifh property • has aClually taken place in the ports of Spain. We are cor.ce r.cd to be obliged to add, that the fever having been judged to be completely fubdsftd, on the atath of November, the Governor of Malaga e ptrmi.ted the families which ha.; retired into the country to return ; but unfortunately, atmof every perfon was attacked, ar,d not one of the lick was ex peaed to efcape. On the 2Trh, the deaths in one day exceeded (nil one hnndrei, and had not beer his for feint days p:stcdirii.

It appears that the French Hinifter has net yet quitted Coaltantinople.
