" CADIZ, Avail. 6.--The French begin to find
that their intead into this province, so far from fa-
cilitating their ultimate conquest of the country,' is
likely to entail open- thorn some disastrous conse-
queoces. They have MN' been able to provide
against fresh iolurreet ions in the neiAhhourin places,
which t hey have either abandoned or left IN.:Al:1y de-
fended, and it is not improbable, that they will
deem it prudent to retreat from the shores of the
Bay of Cadiz, where they ate utterly unable to effe&
any thing, and where, should matters in their rear
not go favoorahly, they will be infallibly cOt off ,in
,cafe of reinainire:i.
" The SpaniSli_army undvr:Ballesteros, is now
within
,t,wo leagues of Seville, the bridge of which'

place, it is understood, the Freoch have thought
proper to cut they haVie been driven cut of Ma-
laga, and in Valencia there has 'been .some sharp
ti4titmg, which. has been to the disAdvatioose of the
French. In short, our political h irizon begios .to
clear up, and Spain does not despair of finally es:a-
Kshing her independence, in spite of the difficulties
with which she is surrounded."
