The capture of 1r Li;erirool. ship by the Spa-
niards, as eounintuicated by the BritisiiCon3ul at
Cadiz for the information of the Committee at
L ,excited a considerable sensation in the
ciitGyrii;:4srdity but without any very sufficient
reason :.for slitedd be remembered, that .the
Spaniards have done nu more in detaining this
vessel,than oar awn cruisers world' have: done,
*luring the late war, 'tinder similar circumstances.
'The ship in question had been/trading in the river
Plate with those persons whom-the Spanish Go-
verninent thinks proper to deem rebels anti insur-
gents, and it was supposed that she lied enetriieS'
property OH board. The Splniard's consequetnlv
acted on the generally received principle, " that free
ships do not make free, goods." Besides, two
'well-known Spanish .subjects were on board the
British vessel- when captured, who were generally
'considered to be the owners of the cargo. 'MSc.
persons were imiediately thrown into prison at
Cadiz, and no doubt they will .be immediately
brOught to tiinl. The British Consul observes,
that lie has ouritted no pains to liberate:the vessel,
cargo, and passengers, and to obtain adequate
satisfaction, but doubts much the success Of his
exertions., By the term passengers, it was sup.
posed that some British subjects were on board.
A private letter however states, that they were no
other than the before-mentioned subjects of Spain.
