- The Philadelphia Gazcite {lys, all e
- mained quict at Cadiz. ! 4
- From anotlier quarter, bowever, we have,
obtained a translation of this quietne(s,
which amounts to a greaf noi/fe, 2aud an ac
tive ficge. :
The fortrefs of Matagorda, of which so
much has been spoken stands on the weft
point of a kind ot peninsula, which projeéis
‘about mile and a half long, by half a mule
broad, iuto the bay of Cadiztrom the calt
fide of the bay. This ‘gromontary or pen
i6fu'a is of an irreguiar rocky furface, and
on its western extremity at the foct of the
cievated ground the fortrefs sands ; north
cf this peainicia for more than a mile the
there is a thallow {wath apparently formed
by the alluvion of the littie riger St Pedro,
which runs ffom the eaft/slong fide the
peuiafula of Matagor-a, \é’;
On this peninsula there fiahd several hou
fcs, a kind of ill. conftructedivillage, withia
the range of the cannon of the rear batie
ries of Matagorda. Uader cover of this
village the French wade their approaches
without fiving a gan ; they formed in the
rocks, and from such materials as presents
ed themf(elves, 2 powerful éntreschment,—
Along fide of the Matagorda peninsula to
the south, and separated from ic by ‘a nar
row channel called the Trocodero, is an isl
and of about the fame length from east to
welt, as the peninsula, and on the weit ex
tremity of this island is the fortrefs of St.
Louis. From this fortrefs, which the'French
occupied, they attradted the attention of
the Britith and Spaniards in the inner har
bor, uutil their batteries were ready to open
upon the fortrefs of Matagorda,
_The Spaniards had been invited by the
Britith to demolith the houses behind Mat
agorda, but declined to dose, and even to
fire on the Freuch while carrying on the
approaches. :
Ap soon-as the French had completed
their work, a tremendous fire was opened
at once vpon the Matagorda fort, and up
on the British flect, which had by this time
eleaped out of the inner harhor, sad 2n
chored in the: channel of the outer harbor
between Cadiz and Matagorda. 'The Freach
it appears had conveyed in silence materi
als for several battcries, and furnaces for™
heating cannon shot ; and they succeeded
in blowing up onc British ship ¢f war, {uid
to be a frigate, in confequencziof which,
great confiernation had bcen spread, and
the flcet moved outside the Porpaifes,.
~ When the London Trader left Eadiz;thc
cannodide which' had commenced fcveral
days before, had not ceased night' nor day
for one hour ; the French had ekablithed
themselves in the ruins of Mauagorda,
which they were repairing under tover of
their cannon; several shells had beenthrown
upon the scarp of the St. Helena baltion at
Cadiz’ but none had redchicd the infidé of
the works ' It was fuppoicd that the
French meant to rua a pier halfam)ic from
the north welt point of . Matagorda,'tor the
purpose of bombarding Cadiz i
- The caanonade from Matagorda had
completely silenced the Spanith wdrks on
the Puntal point, which is only half a mile
aiftant, and on the caule way which leads
from the isle of Leonto Cadiz. [ dwrora.

dated 30th April. :
It will got be very long before T ex-.

Op thé 221inft. we were under the
neceflity of abandoning the important
fort of Matogorda, after fuffering a
severe loss fromw the delrudive fire of
the Frenchartillery, which completely
destroyed the fort and lendéred it no
