GIBRALTAR; Nor. 19.—The fever abates ; tre
soon expect tile port to be open. They have no
epidemic in Cadiz, and the obstacle which we
have lately seen to unlimited communication, will
soon be removed.
His Majesty's ship the Elizabeth, Captain
Guion, bea;•ing the flag of the Hon. Admiral Fle-
ming, is lying at Algeziras.
CADIZ, Nov. 21.—We are in daily hive of hav-
ing a change. in our BUIS of Health ; we are all
• anxiety for die event ; many "'vessels .are laden,
and ready to sail. The Captain-creneral, the
Conde OV-Abisvai, has made himself extremely
popular by his management of his high' afiee of
Governor of this city ; he considers the interest
and conciliates the feelings of all parties, and has
most agreeably disappointed those who were pre-
judiced ttgainst him. Government-Honse has be-
come' the scene of festiVity and enjoyment. His
Excellency gives a Concert and Ball every week,
Where his presence and politeness please' every
body, and all political differences are forgotten.
Captain,Turnbitil is waiting for the port being
opened, when' he will sail for Alicant. Troops
Continue to assemble at the Isla de LeonfOrNine;
rica ; artillery and cavalry are collecting at Xeres ;
their horses will be turned, over to other corjss
and regiments previous to embarkation. It is re-
ported that Sir John Downie will command an
ExpeditiOn to the Caraceas.
SEVILLE, Nov. 23.—The unexpected arrest of
Macanaz, the first Minister of Justice in the king-
dom, has been suddenly followed by another most •
extraordinary and unlooked-for event—the seces-
sion of the Duke of San Carlos, who has resigned, as
it is said, among- the Deplomatists at Madrid, on
account of the weakness of his sight ; but this is

a pretence that cannot for a moment be entertain-
ed. The Doke is near-sighted, and has always
u3ed glasses.; but he is handy middle-aged, and
has certainly consitution enough to do a great
deal of business. We are quite confouruled at the

circumstance. The Duke was supposed to be at
the right hand of the King's affections; be was con-
sidered to be the power behind the Throne greater
than the Throne itself; to him were ascribed all
the Royal Acts since his Majesty's return, ex-
cepting the re-establishment of the Inquisition,
which he and Macanaz, and the Duke del Infan-
tado, objected to, and, we believe, opposed.—
Other communications from Madrid report him
to have been obliged to resign ; but in the
capital every body seems, equally astonished at
the event, and ignorant of the cause. Castanoa
comes in as Minister at War. England will per-
haps have more reason to be pleased with. Spain,
than she has hitherto seemed to have been.

The reports which appear in some of the English
prints of the ports of Cadiz and Gibraltar being
re-opened last month, and of the sailing of ships,
&c. &c. ,were grossly fabulous, and must have
originated from some one interested in the decep-
tion : it was a commercial hoax.

Two squadrons of the regiment of. dragoons
San Fernando marched through yesterday on their
way to embark for America.
MADRID, Nov. 18.—His Majesty, in consi-
deration of the important services of his Excel-

lency Don Carlos Doyle, Lientenant-General of
the Royal Armies, has been pleased tcrereate him

a Knight of the military and distinguished Order

of Charles 111.

Captain Brierly's plan for facilitating the com-
munication from this City with the Sea, and ad.

milting large vessels up to the bridge, which will

restore Seville to its ancient' commercial Lreat,
ir-s, has been entirely improved by the King,
and is to be immediatiy carried into effect.

LONDON,
FFEDNESD_IY, DECEMBER 14, 1814.

We have private letters from Ghent, on which
we can rely, and some of the following facts
which they communicate, Will be found of consi-
derable commercial and political interest :--

" Several persons have been sent to England
by
_different Fabricants, both from France and
Belgium, who are to get employed as well as
they can, in some of the first Factories in Man-
chester, for the purpose of learning in what man-
ner the spinning of cotton is carried on in that
place.. I state this from my own knowlege, for I
am acquainted wiLh several of the persons, andsend
you their names, that yournay act accordingly.
Their intention is, to get into the Manufactories,
and take drawings of all such 'mechanical engines
a 3 are not to be found in these countries. An-
other person (we omit his 'name) has been over
here,, from Manchester since the Peace, and made
an agreedent with a Frenchman who has a Fn.'
torn at Dbolans, to introduce him fur a certain
sum'-to inspect- moit of the Factories at Manches-
ter. He took him over to England, but I
do not know the result. if method 'is

not taken to pot a 3.t.0p to these proceedings
there wi not H.: .;..iiachine in England which will
not soon have a counterpart in this country; and
unless ',here is a duty laid upon Cotton-wool equal
to the•difference in the price of labour, I am cer-
tain that they wily soon under-sell the English in
all foreign markets. Since you were here, Cali-
coes have fallen from four-pence per ell to seven
farthings, spinning in proportion, and the print-
ing equally cheap.

‘i The desertions-from the Belgian army con-
tinue to be great—they go by fifty 'at-a time. The
French, I am told, are forming a regiment of Bel-
gians, and give a higher bounty than they do in
this country. I have just been informed that the
Hanoverians suspect they are to be sept to
America, for which service they do not seem to
