Cadiz papers to the 18th ult. received by this vessel, state that an expedition, consisting of 10,000 men, under the command of General BLAK E, sailed on the 16th ult. This force was to proceed to form a junction with General CAsTANos, who is in the neighbour hood of Seville, commanding ROMAN/VS army, as also with BALLArry.itos and Marshal BERESIORD, who has marched on Badajoz with 23,000 men.

Several shot was tied front Archcliff fort, and Towniliend Batt ry, without effect, as they took good care to keep at a proper distance. It is said, that although so numerous, they made no captures. None of our cruisers were, of course , in the way. A sloop of war, and tile Phipps schooner are off 4akrre now, and should the Frenchmen repeat their visit this evening, I think there is yery little doubt but some of them will he taken. _ _ birth-day.—T.
