ENGLISH AND FRENCH BEFORE CADIZ.

CADIZ, JUNE
His Britannic Majesty's frigate Active, Hon. Carr.
Rodney, arrived here on the 411th instatar.,,frorn Algicre-
and Gibraltar, having, on board the Portuguese 'iii-
nister, M. Pereira, to the Dey of Algiers 4 and a son of
I Sir B. Bloomfield.
The Envoy paid over t 6 the Dey 64. 000 dollars. His
Highness expressed himself satisfied, and the ancient
relations if friendship were renewed Letween the two •
Governments, when the Portuguese Consul was per-
mitted to land, and to *mime his diplomat'c functions. '
When the Active arrived in the Bay of Cadiz, she was
hailed by a French brig of wa-, which is stationed at
the mouth of the bay to enforce the quarantine laws ;
tint Commander of the frigate replied, that as he was
corning into a Spanish port, he would recognise no flag
but that of the Spanish nation. A mutual exp'anation
took place, and the boat belonging to the Board of
Health was immediately dispatched to put the natal
questions to the frigate, when they were informed that
she had come from Algiers. Though having remained
at Gibraltar seven days, and at the same time producing
a clean bill of health, yet a question arose as to the
propriety of her being admitted top atique? Au ex-
traordinar y Board of Health assembled at three o'elo:k
to decide this important matter—President, the Corn-
mand:r.in-Chief of. the French fortes. The Frenc4
interest at the Board was against her being admitted,
unless she passed her usual quarantine; but the Spa-
flier ds felt so pleased when they were intorarei; that the
British commander would not ack no xledge the Fren:h
flag, that they all voted that she should be atl;rwed pra.
tiquet Her boats were consequently perMitted to come
ea
,ahere on Sunday morning, about seven o'cleck, after
reinainin4 24 hates-in quarantine groun,L
Tae Tuesday. tollowing,"the packet 'from En ;land
errivei off Cadiz, having a passage of -tt • days.—
She was brought to by the French- brig about seven
o'clock in the everting, in the quarantine • grOund,- to
await the arrival of the health officers; tote ri-omerit.the
commanding officer of the Active saw ber enter the
bay, he manned his boat and went alongside cf the
packer, to know what assistance he coul' render her,
or if she required any? at the same time offeting to put
on shore immediately the mails, and to provi,!e 11,r
with such necessaries as she might stand-in need of.—
When the Captain of the French brigsa.v the Active's
boat alongside she picket, he sent anuncertin nt mel;—
sage to know who had the tenterito* to board the
packet without his orders r The answer returned wa*,
hat the commanding officer of his Britannic Majesty's
frigate Active, agreeably to, and in conformity wih
Admiralty orders, dared to board hi; Majesty's packet,
land w uld every other English vessel which should
enter the Bay of Cadiz during her stay there, whe-
ther it should or should riot be agreeable to the French
commander.

The French cook offence, and they now say they will put. np no
loner with such insults, but that their orders must be intpliciay
obeyed.
The Active leaves this to-morrow for her destination—all on
board in perfect heAlth.
It is supposed that the la'e regulations respecting the
victualling of the Navy have been attended with good
effect; that is, substituting, in some measure, a vere-
table diet for animal, and tea and Ct`COA fur rum. This,
I have no doubt, in hot climates, and o i long voyages,
will he foiind very conducive to health.
Mr. R chardson, who was here a few days ago in his
yacht, and from whom 200 sovereigns lipd been taktn
by the Spaniards at the gates of ih: city, was obliged.
by advice of the Consul, to compromise toe matter for
fifty pounds. lie got 'the remainder restored to him,
with a few family trinktts, which liapp.nei to be in
the same box. This should operate a useful le,io ►
to othets who may feel inclined ts, sisit the remains of
the beautiful city of Cadiz.

We yesterday stated, that the advice. from Bogota,
which are to the 18th of May, confirmed the statement
we made some time ago, of Olaneta having been
defeated, in Upper Peru, by General Sucre. It ap-
pears that two actions were fought, one on the 241,
and the other on the 4th of March, and that they took
place in the neighbourhood of Ls P. z. Tne d;spersion
of the Spanish force was complete. Olaneta had
eseaFed, but had only a few followers with him, and
was supposed to be making an attempt to cross the
continent, with the view of gaining the Brazilian terri-
tory. We have no details of eitner of the above en-
agemenu ; but it is stated that Sucre, the Colombian
eneral, was only enabled by the most skilful ma-
nceuvtes to bring him to an action, and that his success
was complete and decisive.
A Mr. Elbers had submitted a proposal for raising
a loan to p:ty off the internal debt of Colombia, Which
h! offered to do at par. It was not accepted, and the
Congress adjourned. An application had bce i made tor
the Congtes in behalf of the Peruvian Legislative Body, t
to prioot the. residence of Bouv*tt in Lima till the
meeting of Congress in 1826, in order to cable that
elustrious individual to consolidate the inexpendeace
ach eyed fur Peru by his courage and wisdom;
