Letter from his Excellency the .:Ifarquis of WEL
LINGTON to the Ambassador of his Britannic
Majesty. to the Spanish Government, relative
to the cause ‘vbich occasioned the sending of
British troops to :Cadiz and Cart hagena, and
the order that they should be, withdrawn from
thence

" ST.4EANI DE Ltiz, Dec. 7.
" MOST ExcELLENT Sun,-1 have. the honour
to inclose a copy Of the Orders which I transmit-
ted to. the Conmanders of the British troops in
Cadiz and Carthagerra, relative to their adopting
the necessary means for withdraiving from the,
said places, without loss of time, the troops and
effects appertaining to his Britannic Majesty, of
which important measure your Excellency will be
pleased to inform the Spanish Government.
" According to my mode of thinking, I be-
lieve that the operations of the war are in such a
state, that it is not probable that the said places
will again require the co-operation of British.
troops, and by consennence, there should he no
reason that the said troopi should retnain in them,
causing an. increased expence to the British Go-
vernment, and detrimental to the sercice of his
Majesty, I represented the same to my Govern- '
meat, and received permisslon from the Prince
Regent to withdraw them. •

Spanish Government had made known to MC its

besides the Gazette detailing some brilliant af-
xi4irs In Italy, we give this day a mass of Foreign
e,ws from French,.,German, and,Dutch Papers,
latter of which are particultarly voluminous.—
144 e ktle further details of the actions between

Breda and Antstetp, as itell s tiffany impottsnt
notices of the progress of the Allied Hosts in every
direction. The fact of Deninark's having suc-
cumbed is repeated, and universally believed.

It is stated, on the authority of some ttuknoWn
person who left France on Monday* that BooNA,
PARTE has succeeded in embodying the 350,000
conscription—that he had collected 80,000 men
in and about,Paris—and that be had ordered his
Guards to march, being about to put himself at-,
the head ()fan army somewhere or other. The latter
fact is probably true, as the French Papers hinted as
much a week ago : the middle fact may alsO approach
the truth, but as for the first we entirely disbe-
lieve it. We disbelieve it on the authority of the
Tyrant's own Press, which, though anxious to
put the best lace it can upon his formidable pre.
parations, can yet only assert, that " the levy is
proceeding with the greatest activity*," which we
doubt, and as a proof it, (see Extracts in our First,
Page) state that eight hundred nten only had left
Versailles, and fourteen hundred and eighty-five Gre-
noble on their destination, and that other detach-
ments were to follow ! This slims at once that
neither the conscription nor organization, are
completed.'

The exploits of t!le Cossacks have struck the
greatest terror into the inhabitants of the. French
departments. An instance of this dread was- lately
exemplified in the neighbourhood of Cologne :
Five Jews, disguised as Cossacks,- suddenly ap-
peared in one of the Communes, and denum,oded
a contribution of 2000 livres, whiCh was inr-
mediately paid. They then proceeded successively
to four other communes, and having levied si-
milar requisitions, and obtained abxmlance of
good cheer, departed. News of this incursion be-
ing carried to the Command-ant at Norvenich,
Iletacliment of .10 militaiy was sent in pursuit,
and found the Israelites stripped of their military
garb, rejoicing at thir success,- and dividing their
plunder in a village alehouse.

for an Injunction, in the cause of LUBECK V. the
Right I-lon. Wm. WELLESLEY- POLE, to prevent
the defendant from proceeding to•law to recover
664/. on the acceptances of the plaintiff. It ap-
peared, that the plaintiff was agent. or steward to
defendant, and, on settling an account in the year
1812, the plaintiff gave the defendant a bill of ex-
change for the balanee, which being dish6noured,
the defendant proceeded at law for the recovery of
it. The paymt...nt was resisted upon the ground
that the defendant was indebted to the plaintiff
fbr services done in valuing, viewing, and allot--
ting an estate, and for preparing and drawing out
95 leases for the Queen's county estate in Ireland,.
at the time be accepted the bills of exchange. The
VICE-CIIANCELLOR took time to consider the
