2.000 dollars, and with this sum and
some provisions soon afterwards re

<btained yesterday by the London
Packet, give us no satisfaction on this
subject, and contain no intelligence of
any extraordinary interest, excepting 1
the panful confirmation of the sur
render of Malaga, and of the plunder
to which it had been exposed by French
Je-rosity. It is perfectly obvious that
the acquisition by the invaders of the
TH’.mcious ports of the Western Me*
uitwtraneaii will‘expose our tiade to
iuccsivnt depredations.; and we hope
the utmost diligence will be employed
to prevent tire augmentation of this ca.
ia nity by removing all the ships of
war, gun-boats and mercantile vessels
beyond the leach of the enemy.
Yesterday we obtained Dutch ac
counts to the 2d instant. The French
tioops had not passed the Maese—
there had been no new exactions dr se
questrations north of that river, and
every thing remained in a state of
gloomy repose.
A communication we received yes
terday from Lisbon speaks in more
melancholy terips of the prospect in
Portugal than some of our other let

the ground lor apprehension from va

pet made r.o serious attack upon Ca
dizor tiie Isle of Leon, Jk the Spuniar a
are actively improving the means of
defence. The French wish to carry
on an active commerce of flags of truce.
They send in proclamations and ad
dresses, which the Governor orders to
be burnt by the hands of the common ]
hangman.
“Cadiz, Feb. 18.
“ In the night of the lGth, and du
ring the whole of the 17th, we were
employed in constructing, unthir pro
tection of the boats, an advanced bat
tery on the right, in the situation cal
led El Salero, which did considerable
damage to the enemy. The boats and
old batteries every day occasion a con
tinual loss to the enemy of men and
horses. According to the l.u»t ac
counts, which may be relied on, there
are, in Puerto Real, 3000 French, al
most all infatitry, with 6 brass pieces,
24 pounders. They entered on the
evening of the 16th by the Camino la
Isla, without artillery.
“ February 23.
In the morning of the 21st were
burnt, by the hands of the hangman,
the papers and dispatches brought by
the flag of truce on the 20th. If the
enemy thinks to conquer this city by
proclamations, he is deceived. It is
impossible to corrupt the Governor,
or to change the public opinion, which
is firmly founded in justice, and sup*
ported by the general wish of the peo
ple.

In more than one public* document
of the French Government published
lately, it has been asserted, that a pro
posal for a cartel had been rejected by
our minister, lest it should lead to a
negotiation tor peace. Lord Holland,
in the House of Lords last nignt, put a

and was informed by Lord Mul grave,
that some arrangements had uadoubt*
