the Spanish Admiral, respecting the delivering up of
the ships of war, now at anchor off Cadiz;.

cumstance of the Spanish squadron now.lying ready for sea in
tilk bay, having been entrusted to your command, does not per-
mit us to demist that it will follow the fate of the nation ; the
nation of its anchorage with respect to the English squadron, the
defective state of the crews, and the advantages which an oppor-
tunity of a corp-do-maim may offer to the designs of the English
Cabinet, compel us not to lose a moment in acquainting your Ex-
cellency, that his Majesty, penetrated with the evils to which the
worthy Officers, and their respective crews, are, about to expoe
themselves in so hazardous an emigratlon, and with the desertion
which threatens their families, much more than with any concern
' for the loss of a few vessels that are, for the greater part, rotten,
—has authorized 'us to make known to your Excellency, and
those serving under your orders, that your honours and interests
may be completely preserved ; and to convince yourselves of
these beneficent d.spositions of the King, and to prevent any step
from being taken without due information, your Excellency can
send deputies, and appoint any place of interview, afloat or on
shore, where we may have an opportunity of entering into ex-
planations so conducive, at this moment, to the welfare of the
nation in general, and of so many afflicted families in particular.

" MOST Exce ttearr SETONIORO—When your Excellencies de
me the justice to confess, that, unshaken in the principles of loy-
alty which I have implanted in my heart, I am resolved to follow
the fate of a brave and generous nation, which gloriously defends
its sacred rights, and those of its lawful King D. Ferdinand VII.
whom Goo preserve ,you might have reflected, that I could not
listen ro,i.nd must have regarded as insulting, the offer of bongoes
and interests which you make in case of my acceding to your
proposition. The generous conduct of the British nation does not
present the slightest ground of alarm with regard to the property
and security of the vessels that are under my command, as your
Excellencies with great injustice suspect ; and, accordingly; all the
worthy officers belonging no it, tli,regarding every consideration I
o 4 rack and interest, p!ace oar.Flonnue and -glory in firmly persir.
vering in the defence of the jubt cause which we have swori
support.
" The nation recognizes in the Council of Regency the supreme
end legitimate authority which represents our beloved King D.
Ferdinand VII. and is recognised through the mediuni of that
body. I have been among the first to tender it my obedience
and my loyalty does not permit me to give any other answer to
the letter under yesterday's date, re:dyed from your Excellencies
by the flag-of-'truce felucca, which carries the present.

" This morning, 28 sailor vessels came Into this port from Gib-
raltar; they bring the 88th regiment, so that we have now four'
English and one Portuguese regiments, making near 5000 men, and
also 200 English artillerymer. In the vessels that are come from
Gibraltar, are also 3000 Spanish troops, which, in the late disas•
trous affairs, had made their way to that place; so that our force
at present in effective, troop's, is about 22,000 men,—certainly
not less than 20,000. The day before yesterday, King Joseph
sent deputies from Seville, Xeres, St. Lucar, Port St. Mary, &c.
to our Junta, to persuade them to give up as the rest of the pro-
vince had done. They were sent back without bring permitted
to come more than half way over the Bay ; and the papers ad-
dressed to the Junta, were yesterday burnt by the common hang-
man, in front of the Town House. All this will spew you, that
the people are determined on a stout defence. In the island,
where I was Myself yesterday, at the outposts, the same thing hap-
pened—a flag of truce which the French sent out while I was
there, was not received."
Some letters from Gibraltar, of the 22d of February,
have also been received in town ; they inform us that
the 3000 Spanish troops alluded to in the above letter,
appeared in the lines a few days before they were ein-
barked for Cadiz, having been 48 hours without food
before the Governor discovered their wants. The
French have already fitted out privateers at St. Lucar,
Rota, and Port St. Mary's, and are expected to do the
•
same at filgesiras. • •

Government, respecting the capture or detention
of American vessels under the British Orders in
Council, or the Decrees of France :

has been communicated by the President to Congress :
" The Secretary of State reports to the President that informan

some American vessels at Curacoa, at Ceylon, and in China; for
reasons not distinctly stated. It is to he observTd, however, that
the papers in the Office afford but a very imperfect account of the
