" LATEST FROM PORTUGAL.
Dy the brig Panther, arrived at this port,
in 35 days from Lisbon, we learn verbally,
“that a severe gale came on the 4iirof March,
which lasted till the 10th, in which several
‘ wessels were losty and stmost every the dam~
aged. A convent was struck with lightening
" and materially injured. |
The Portuguese and Brilish armies were
in high spirits ; no general battle had recent
ly taken place. The French army had not
entgred Portugal, but were on the {rontiers.
THE DESPATCHES,
" /s several erroneous publications have ap
peared in the newspapers, lespecting the ves
sels destroyed in Cadiz ; snd desirous thata
true statement should appear, I think proper
to publish the following ==
I, Peleg S. Folger, master of the brig
Young Soldier, late arrived at N.York from
Cadiz, beingin said place in a gale of wind
that commenced March 4th, and continued
e Cifcumstunoe as ‘auspicious (0 his Lopes,:
{and always woving popularity) seizes upon
and founds upon it a proposition to repeal the
nui-intercourse entirely, leaving the repub
lick nuked and dishonoured, expesed to the'
insults and the outrages of the belligerents.
- REFLECTION
until March 9th, 1810 ; in which gale a num
ber of American vesels and others,were driv
‘en on shore on the east side of said bay, and
were destroyed by fire, do hereby give it as
“my opinion, and the opinion of the people at
Cadiz, as near as I could ascertain the same,
that the vessels that had a cargo or part of a
cargo on board, which the English knew
would be beneficial to the French, their ene
my, they destroyed ; and that the French de
stroyed all they could get access to, and kept
in possession the officers and crews of all that
“remained on board at said time. I believe it
is not astertained in wkat mauger they were
‘treated, as all communication from said part
of said bay was entrely cut off.
‘T further think much honour is due to Ad.
Sir John Purvis, commander of the British
dcet then at Cadiz, for his noble exertions
for the preservation of the American shipe
ping in said gale, and further I say not.
PELEG 8, FOLGER.
By the brig Young Soldier, in 25 days from
Cadiz, which port she left, on the 22d of
March, we learn that Cadiz still held out ;
that the French army under Joseph Buona
parte, consisted of about 50,000 men ; and
that the EmPerour Nupoleon wus shortly ex
pected with a reinlorcement of 50,000 more.
Tlhe force employed in its defence consisted
ot 22,000 Spuniards, 7,000 British, and 5,000
others were duily expected trom Englund.
There is a considerable pury in Cudiz in
favour of the French, but itis almost certuin
ucath even to speuk the French language
there. Being well provisioned in'the city, it
was expected Cadiz would hold out a long:
time against its besiegers.
- A gule commenced at Cadiz on the 4th of
March, and continued 5 days on the east side
of the bay, which is in possession. of the
French, and the following American vessels
were wrecked : Ships Th. Jefferson, Dins
more, of N.York, burnt, with about 10,000
pieces of nankeens, and some provisions j=—
Commerce, Colburn, Hallowell, burnt, with
a part of her outward cargo on board ; Apei
lo, Huggins, Philadelphia, burnt, with all her
outward cargo on bourd ; Franklin, Queens
bury,N.York, burnt,in ballast ; Ariadne,Hum
phries, Portsmouth, got off with but littie
damage ; brigs Smilux, Jolnsen, Phliladel
&l)ni.a, burnt, with all heroutward carge on
Board ; Commerce, Brown,Richmond, burn*,
part of her outward cargo on boasdy
Sampson, Mason, burnt, with part of her out
ward cargo on board ; barque, Pompey, Sev
ers, Salem, burnt, in ballust ? with a large
number of English, Spanish,and Portuguese
vessels, to the number of 30 sail, amongst
which were, a Spanish ship of 112 guns, S
of 74, and | Portuguese of 74. It was sup
posed that not many lives were lost ; but this
could not be ascertsined, because all commu
nication with the east side of the bay was in
terdicted. Adm. Purvis lost a bo't’s crew
in his humane endeavours to assist the A
mericans,

Anticipation realized.—=\We were ggng-uine
in our expectations that the ¢ New-England”
States (proudly socalled by the tories) would
this year, vetrieve their character, and tread
back the precipitate steps they had taken dusr
ing the em!s rgo mania.” With inexpressible
pleasurg we find, that our expectations are.
now gloriously rcalized. - Vermont, New-«
Hapshire, Maseachusetts, und Rhode-Island,
are all completely republicanized, and will
new harmonize with their sister states in sup
port of the matonal government. Connecti
cut andd Delavare, two small states, are the
only ones in which the tory faction have the
ascendency, except partially in New-¥ork,
whose approaching election, without dispute,
will terminate with an increased and over-.
whelming republican majority. Never we
repeat it, never since the adoption of the fed
eral government, were the states more united
than they are at this period ; and this union
and harmony appears to be increasing with an
almost astopishing rapidity, even from Maine
to Georgia,
Attached to our owh country and govern
