When the CoMmissioners left Cadiz, the contributions in aid
of the war, notwithstaoding the actual distressed state of Spain,
were productive beyond all expectation. In Cadiz alone. the
merchants furnished the sum of 350,000 hard dollars. Eight
thousand men were also raised in that city, completely armed,
and on their march against the .etiemy. The regulzir force ma;
militia in Seville and its vicinity, amounted to 40,0(X) men.
'ehere were heicies 60,000 volunteers in arms. On the 15th of
June, the inhabitants of Cadiz were in hourly expectation to
official intelligence of the surrender of Dupont. The Governor
of Malaga, at the head of 18,000 men, had marched to co-oper-
ate with the Patriots, by whom he was surrounded at Cordova
and nu doubt is entertained of the utter annihilation of the ene-
my's force in that quarter.—From Valentia, it is stated, that
such was tit(' inveteracy of the Spaniards towards the French,
that upwards of 15(1 merchants resident in that province had
fallen sacrifices to the indipation of the Spaniards at the atro-
cious perfidy of their Gallic oppressors.

" CA PTA IN-GEN ERA L-1 find myself compelled, in conse-
quence of the means exercised against me, to give up the Fleet
finder my command, without further resistance ; seeing that it
is the interest of both nations nut to destroy the ships.
" Althongb sour E‘cellency has not announced to me, that
the crews of the ships under my command, us well as their pro-
perty, should be respected, I should reckon too much on
Spanish honour, and the known generosity of your own charac-
ter, to entertain any fears on those subjects.
" I request that your Excellency will only send a few troops
at first, that the crews may evacuate; ship after ship, in order
to avoid the confusion which' has on such o:casions taken place.
" According to the lAws of War, I" request that you will per-
mit, or procure permission for me to send an Officer to his Ma-
jesty the liitiperor of the French, in order that I may be enabler;
to give hiM au account of the events which have taken place.
" I have the honour to be, with the highest consideration,
your Excellency's must humble Senaut.

the Patriots.
