Dispaiches were on Thursday received by Go-
vernment from Cadiz. They are dated the 15th
ult. and were brought to Plyinouth by the 'Whiting
schooner, after a passage of eleven days. 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.
If the Spanish accounts are accurate, the whole
force under these Commanders would then amount
to upwards of 40,000 men. The proposal for giv-
ing Lord WELLINGTON the command of part of
the Spanish forces has occa,ioned much discus-
sion at Cadiz, but produced no favourable result.
The following is an Extract of a Letter received
by the last conveyance f o n Gottent u-g
• " Every thing looks very warlike in Berlin. The King is
gone to Konigsberg.. It is presumed the Prussians will assist
ALEXA N D ER. Alyea !y the garrison of St. Petersburg has been
marched to Courland. It is high time for Sir JA mEs SAUMAREZ
to arrive in the Baltic. The garrisons of Hamburg, &c. have
been marched to Atlagdeberg, where an army is to he formed.
No passports are granted at Hamburg, either for Prussia, Rns-
s'a, or Sweden. R ussia has formally protested against the incor-
Ro.ation with France of the territory of Oldenherg."
We are sorry to find the French privateers still
to ,tinue their insults in the Channel :
Dovitit, MAY 3.—A fleet of eight sail of French privateers
Were cruising about two miles off this place litsvight, in a very
comfortable manner. 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. _ _
