% CADIZ, JULY 23.

Nothing could have been more energetic and suc-
cessful than the measures adopted by the Govern-
ment for the defence of this place. Notwithstanding
the blockade; a full stock of provisions has been laid
in for fonr months, calculating all the troops and per-
sons dependent on the Government. The works were
begun in good earnest, and have continued with the
greatest activity, and they are now neai ly completed.
Ample supplies of money have nut been wanting to
meet all these expenses. Supplies of money and pro-
visions have also been sent to Carthagena, Alicant,
and Tarifa, and muskets, money, and provisions have
also been sent off to Mina. _ _ _

A letter from Xeres, of the 18th, says that tl►e
French have converted the Convent of La Merced
into an hospital, and demanded 900 beds. They
have also taken the Carthusian Convent for the same
purpose. We suspect the 900 beds above alluded to
aze for the 900 wounded in eur last sortie. The few
brave men we had wounded did not require hospitals ;
the inhabitants emulously took them to their houses
to take care of them.
