BEFORE CADIZ.

"MY LORD-.-I have the honour to inform your E.
cellency, that 11 love this morning made before Cadiz-4
trial of our flotilla of bombardment. Seven Freud'
bomketches, three Spanish ditto, and five ohusieres, were
placed within cannon-shot, about 800 toises from ap
place. I did not give orders to cease the firing till Of
wind, which blew fresh from the S.W. aid the swell of
the sea, rendered it impossible to continue it. I pre!
sume that aboUt2oo bombs and some shells were throci
from eight o'clock till half-past ten.

_ -
" The attack was made with ardour. All the fort,
andibatteries of Cadiz, supportedby a divisiop of 20 of
the enemy's gun-boats, answered it. The balls, for tbg
most part, fell above 100 toises beyond our line.
Qne bombard was struck by the enemy's fire.
had it towed to the coast of La Catalina. This opera,
tion was skilfully executed by Lieutenant Brettevillet
commanding the Lynx brig, assisted by M. de Eros%
of the Colosse, and the crew of its long-boat. - A boat gf
this vessel, commanded by Ensign BeaTil, was pierczi
by a ball, which killed two men.

" PORT ST. MARY, SEPT. ff.

" Yesterday the Militia of Madrid marched out, Wl*
the Regiment of St. Martial, to retake port St. Petri,
but the regiment mutinied on the way. The Miiitifq
who are very numerous, were able to disarm it, an 4
they decimated it; 90 soldiers were shot,

" We may judge by this of the spirit of the troop; clf
the line, deserters join us every day. This morning hi
Royal Highness sent for Rear-Admiral Duperre, pen*
ral Rourdesoulle, and General Roarmopt, and the lap*
set out this afternoon at four o'clock for Rota.
" Thirty-four pieces of cannon are to be dire*
against the Caracca. We hope to get possession off
twenty-four hours after the attack. We should by thi
be masters of the whole course of the river St. Isierre:
The conquest of the Isle of Leon would be the result:
" Five companies of Artillery have arrived from
France by sea ; our affairs will go an the better for

We have received letters from Port St. Mary, of thE
23d, 14 A.M. which say, 41 since sunrise the french 11411
been bombarding Cadiz. We can hardly see the cif!
through the clouds of smoke. The sailors ssiT that p 9
bombs have been already thrown, of which three of feßf
almost burst in the air, all the others perfectly reached
their object. Some fell into the square of §t. Aquiniti
and into the street of Linares."
All will be ready to-nsorrow, to attack decidediTll
sea and land. It is thought that an attack will be nil*
directly on the port, to burn the Aisia man of wort
frigate, and brigantine. This operation is cons***
not offering much difOcqlty.
