This morning a mail arrived from Gottenburgh,
and has brought the pleasing intelligence of the safe
arrival in the Bakid of the English squadron under
command of Sir JAMES SAUMAREZ. The accounts
from Germany by this conveyance are to the 6th inst.

Since our last a Mail arrived frcm Cadiz, with ad-
vices to the Ist instant.

Our letters from that city inform us that the enemy's
advanced parties are close to the walls of the Dock.
yard, and that one battery of 40 pieces of cannon now
bears upon the city.
In some of their batteries the French have furna-
ces for heating shot, which oblige our ships to keep at
some distance. On the 18th ult. during a cannonade,
between one of these batteries, and our bombs and
gun boats, thOTENIERAIREPS gunboat was blown up by
a red hot ball, which entered her magazine. By this
fatal shot, Lieutenant CROPLEY and 14 seamen were
killed, and
.a Midshipman and several men were
wounded.—Nothing of importance had occurred since
the evacuation of fort Matagorda. Sir C. COTTON
arrived in the Bay on -the 28th ult. immediately shif-
ted his flag to the ST. JOSEPH, and was to proceed to
the Mediterranean on the Ist instant.

JOSEPH BONAPARTE is said to have reached the'
French army on the 29th. They had not received
any reinforcement before Cadiz up to that day.—
MORTJEWS corps still remained in Estremadura. In
the mean time the allied troops were busily employed
in throwing up batteries at Puntales ; a covert way
was making from Cadiz to Puntales, and from Pun-
tales to the Island on the right of the high road, in
order to secure the communication.

We have also, since our last, received accounts
from Lisbon to the 2d inst. but they are not of much
importance. A very considerable detachment of the
French attempted to force the important position at
Albuquerque, towards the end of last month. They
had succeeded so far as to compel thi Spanish corps
that occupied it to retreat ; but hearing of the ap•
proach of a division of our army, under the command
of Generals HILL and SLADE, they retired with pre-
cipitation upon Merida. The head-quarters of the
British continued at Viseu on the 27th ultimo.

Paris Papers to the 6th came to hand yesterday,
containing various official reports of the actions that
took place in various parts of Spain during the pre-
ceding six weeks. They are, of course, represented
as having invariably terminated in favour of the
French. The most serious of these was between that

part of RomANA's army under the command of Ge-
neral BALLASTEROS, and the French corps that was

posted on the left of the Guadiana to cover Seville
on that side. The Spaniards were the assailants
on the first day, and the battle was a drawn one.
—The enemy boast of having had the superiority on
the next ; but admit, that on account of the difficult
nature of the country, they could derive no great ad-

. .
vantage from the victory. We knew from other ac-
counts, that the French could not maintain their posi-
tion, but were forced to fall back upon Seville.
A Dutch Paper of the Gth states, that King Louts
set out from Amsterdam on the morning of the 4th,
to meet the EMPEROR, who had arrived on the fron-
tiers of Holland.

By letters from Cephalonia of the ith March, we
learn, that in that and the neighbouring islands every
thing remained quiet at that date.
The Garrison at Malta was healthy and in high
spirits on the 31st of March. By letters from Malta
it appears, that an insurrection had taken place in
Minorca, occasioned by some indiscreet restrictions on
commerce, Which led to a disposition in the malcon-
tents to supersede the authority of Spain, and place
the island under the protection of Great Britain.—
After the destruction of the Custom-house, and, of
some private property of its Supet intendant, order
was re-established. During the commotion, a depu-
tation was sent to Lord CoLLzxcw•oon, to request
him to assist in accomplishing the purposes of. the
disaffected. His Lordship observed? that he was not
authorised to interpose, but that he would commu-
nicate to his Governmeat the transactions that had
occurred, and the favourable disposition which had
' been manifested towards this country. We are in-
formed, that in pursuance of his Lordship's recom-
mendation to preservc.tranquillity, the British officers
exerted themselves so successfully, that the tumult was
soon suppressed.
Through the same channel we have the satisfaction
to learn, that Mr. ADA tn, the British Minister to the
SUblime Porte, had received the most positive assu-
rances of the GRAND SFAGNIOR'S determination to
maintain inviolate the treaty of alliance with Great
Britain; and, if requisite, to support that Power with
ill his forces.

We have again heard from our valuable and at-
tentive correspondent at Cadiz, his letter is datr:d-th:
Ist Instant.--4, taptainKLzast, of the Scotch Bi.
gade, who commanded the fort lately des!royed, h as
got great credit by his conduct ; and MAjor LEFE..
RAE'S 105% is mourned throughout the army." .Our
Correspondent expresses a conviction of the British
being able to hold out against any force the French
can bring against them, if she Spaniard: only be true.
Sir MONTAGUE BURGOYNE is placed on the Staff of
the West Distri:t.
