CADIZ MAIL.

A Cadiz Mail arrived this morning. it furnishes
us with intelligence to the 10th ult. only, but it is im-
portant. General WHITTINONAM'S division of the
Catalonian Expedition having joined at Port. Mahon,
the whole, consisting of 15,000 men, with -80 pieces
of artillery, sailed on the 27th July for its destination.
Little was known at Cadiz of the movements of
SOULT or General HILL. It was reported, however,
that the latter having been strongly reinforced by
cavalry, intended to act on the offensive, and to give
battle. Two hundred and fifty Spaniards have been
selected at Cadiz to be sent to BERNADOTTE in awe,
den, at his own request, as his body guard.
The Marquis WELLINGTON'S intelligence in the
Gazette respecting BALL/WI/ROI, is more recent than
that contained in the Cadiz Mail.

The Spaniards have intercepted a letter from MA R-
AIQNT to King JOSEPH, dated 17th July, announcing
the necessity of giving battle, and the uncertainty
of success, and saying, should it prove unfavourable,
Marshal Sourr will be responsible, in consequence
of his rash attempt to preserve the Andalusias.

From his notninal capital, the harassed JOSEPH Bo•
NA?ARTE had retired fotir days befcre the arrival of
the Marquii of WELLINGTON, and directed his flight,
at the head of 12,000 men, to% ards Valencia, in order.
to gain the protection of the butcher of Tarragona,
SCCHST. He reached Ocana on the 11th, and en
the 13th and l".th performed double marches, so ra.
pid and necessitous were the exigencies of his circum.
stances. One thousand men were left in Guada-
laxara, and 2500 in the Retiro ; but the resistance, if
any could have been intended, amounted to nothing.
The Retiro surrendered on the 13th to the British—
Guadalaxara about the same time to the gallant Spa-
nish partizan the EMPECINADO.

• RICAN FRIGATES.
