SIEOE OF CADIZ RAISED.

We have this day the satisfaction to announce
another important result of ti►e victory of Sala-
manca- Son LT has found himself compelled to
raise the siege of Cadiz, from before which city
he broke up on the 25th ult. after:having on the
preceding night blown up some of the works,
and rendered part of the guns unserviceable; but
leaving behind him his heavy artillery. The French
force also broke up. from San ',near, and there is
little doubt that SOU LT will endeavour to get out
of the Andalusias with all possible . 'dispatch, in
Order to effect a junction, if possible, with-SucnET.
In attempting-this object, however,. he may very
probably recet-ve a check from, our gallant Com-
mander. The following letters were sent this
morning to the LORD MAYOR :--
