CADIZ, Dk.C. to.—We have this day received the
difagreeable intelligence of the capture, by an Eng-
lifh (hip of the line off Lagos, of the fhip la Fuente
Hermofa, coming from Lima, with 780,000 dollars,
of which 140,030 were for account of the King, :,nd
the Tell fur he merchants ; boo cheits of Jefuits'
bark, and about &coo fanegas of Guayuquil cocoa.
This is a very fevere fors to this city. It is a confe-
quence refulting from the execution of the molt vio-
lent and hoftile meafurcs, taken in the midli of
peace, and during the courfe of infidipus negocia-
tions, offered as a decoy ,ts our Government. The
Neuttra Senora de llneyw Ayres, from Vera Cruz,
is alio taken by a (hip of the line, which during the
night after the capture, by bad managenient, ran
on board and unk her. This moment a rumour is
circulated of Port Mahon being taken by the Eng-
lifh. We do not believe this news, which is by no
means authentic, and appears to us improbable.—
Our contoiation, amicht fo many mi,fortunes, is,
that we think we are entirely delivered from the
dreadful contagion which made fuch havoc in our
city. Thank GOD, there are no lymptoms of it left,
Either on Ihore or among the (camel; in the ports, the
roads, Stc.
thk:LNIDFR It.—His Catholic Ma;?lly's frigate
Amphitrite, difpatchcd from this port on the ,9th
ult. was captured in the latitude of Cape Canten ;
after a chace of 24 hours, the unfortunately carried
away her top malls, and on the sth intl. the was car-
ried into Gibraltar by an Englifh (hip of the line the
Donnegal, of 8o guns, accompanied by a fi igate and
a &op of war. •
On this occafion, the Englifh difplayed the fame
inhumanity, treachery, and ridiculous inrolence,
which they feem to have particularly affeeted to-
wards the Spaniard'. !ince the commencement of the
pre(ent war.
They had hailed the Amphitrite and were a4tually
engaged in convet ration with her Captain, Don fort-
c HI s; DB Vat& ELLA, concerning; the orders of the Eng-
bib Admiral relpteling Spanith yards, when the
Captain of the Donnegal commenced a fire of mar-
quetry, of which the Captain of the Amphitrite was
one Of the &Et : this officer was uniwzrially
efteemed, and his death has taccationed the greateft

re This aft of atrocity was followel by a flep not
unworthy of officers who appear to confider as ho-
nourahle and praife worthy, proceedings which any
of the civilized nations of Europe would view as
fcandalous and infamous.
The Captain of the ponnegall, upon his arrival
at Gibraltar, which is totally unprovided with pro-
vifions, requelted of the Captain General of the
corps at St. Roch, to fupply ham with refreffiments
for his crew ; at the moment when he had commit-
ted an aft of the greatelt barbarity, when he had of-
fered the molt horrible outrage to the Spanifh nation
he had the effrontery to fuggeft, in his requeft, the
hopes bf a fpeedy underflihding between the two
Governments. This imprudent proceeding was re-
jeaed with the indignatiott which it lo naturally tend-
ed to mite.

Nirtss, Nov. 27.—The official detail is now pub-
lifhed of an atlionwhichlately toed: place between the
Archimedes, of 74 guns, under the command of Don
MIC H ancru a, and an Algerine fquadron, cOnfifting of
three frigates, three xebecs, and a brigantine. The
Ark himedes was efcorting twenty-two merchantmen
bound from Manfredonia to Medina. On the 27th
of Oaoher, off Cape St. Maria, they came in fight'
of that piratical fquadron, formed in three divifions.
Don MiC H F OUX, under there circumltances' order-
ed the merchantmen to make for Cotrona, while he
made preparations for attacking the nearest divifion
of the enemy. Little wind then blowing, prevented
the Archimedes from approaching, and this afforded
the Algerine divifion an opportunity of joining. At
length the engagement commenced by a heavy fire
on our fide, from the guns, after %hid) followed a
volley from the (mall arms. The Algerines, in the
mean time, continued to approach, and one of their
frigates even attempted to board. After the battle
had killed an hour, the pirates wire compelled to {beer
off. The Arebimides chafed them the whole night,
and part of the fucceeding day, but was unable to
come up with them. The enemy's lots mutt have
been very confiderable : that of the Archimedes
conftfts in two killed and feven wounded, one of,
them dangeroufly.
CONSTANTINCPLE, NOV. !P.—Ma:that BRUNI.
the French Ambaffador, received lately a courier
from Faris, with the inflruaions which were Co long
expeeted ; whereupon he prefented to the Porte,
without delay, an official note, Rating, 4, that fince
the negotiations for the recognition of the Emperor
of the French had already lasted for upwards of four
months, without producing any fatisfadory 'refult,
he deemed it fuperfluous to make any further men-
tion of the fubjed ; that he bad only to announce
that his departure from C aiftantinople was become
indifpenfably neceffary, and that it would take place
very foon ; that he mull, however, fully acknow-
ledge the intentions and principles of the Grand
Seignior, who bad {hewn, on every occafion, the
molt fincere defire to prefers e, and to continue thofe
relations of friendfhip which fo happily cuffed be;
twixt his predeceffors and France ; but that, at the
fame time, the Ottoman Miniftry liflened to foreign
infmuations to be influenced by the fame : that he as
lorry the Ottoman Porte did not attend :o his re-
peated reprefentations, and to the overtures made
by the French Government ; erpecially at a time
when it mutt be her material inter ell to live in per-
fed amity with a Sovereign who can lend her very
powerful 216ft:ince. The Ambaffador adds, that
this'condua on the part of the Ottoman Miniftry, in
the prefent circumilances, and confidering the rela-
tive nannettions of the other powers among them-
felves, mutt be regarded as vet y impolitic ; and that
he could not learn, without regret, that the Porte
has preferred to accept the humiliating conditions of
another Court, rather than to adhere to the propofals
made by France, that ancient ally, which has al.
ways fhewn fentiments and views fo conformable to
tire well being and to the true intere:t of the Empire
of the Crefcent."
This note produced a great fenfation on the
Turkifh Miniltt y. It is thought that the firft tiled
thereof will be the removal oFthe Reis Effendi, or
Unifier of Foreign Affairs, and it will put an end
to the vavering conduit of the Porte, whole obvious:
intereft, it is always to remain clo ely united with
France.
