To TII EDITOR OF PM? STATESMAN.

Sin,—lt is certain that several letters received
froel Cadiz by the last packet, many of them writ.
tau by Eeglish houses, or English adveuturers, of
whom there Are a great number, after communteeting
liejoy that reigns in that city and its neighbour-
timid, proceed to state the many advantages to be
derived from the retreat of the enemy from that'
warier, in benefit both of the Spaniards and their'
Allies. It is not an unnatural thing to tee the inha.
Wants of a commercial citii; turning their views
rewards the cousequeeeet taint likely to arise from a
igreat change in their fituatiin, a circumstance which
no one will wonder at, and much less So the inhabi-
tants of so great a commercial city as London is ;
but the Editor of the Times, neglecting this conai-
ee'ration, as well ns the decorum with which so
respectable a class of s&iety deserves to he treated,
has insinuated his suipriie about it in an absurd man-
ner, and in very improper language. indeed, it
effendi idinmnn reason to suppose the author of a
letter destitute of patriotic, noble and enthusiastic
sentiments because he has made his private affairs the
principal or the only oble..t of, it.
The merchants of Cadiz are not in need of a chan-
nel so unusual as is afforded by corrimercial corre4
spondence in support of their patriotism and public
spirit, to shay; that they ;unless both in an eminent
degrees There are bthers more fit for that purpose,
and by which they have given real proofs on many
occasions, not only to all Spell], but likewise to that
part et the inhabitants or tligland which is rot per-
sonally prejudiced against them. It was their volun-
tary subscriptions that at the beginning of their glori-
ous revolution, prepared the necessary means by which
the victory of Baylen was obtained. It was their repeat-
ed loans that have so.efficaciously helped their Govern-
ment to carry into effect many measures Which other-
wise could not have been carried into effect. It was
they that surmounted many of the difficulties which
hindered the assembling of the Cdrtes. It was they
that procured the means of sending troops to Ame-
rica, in order to check the insurrection, and to re-
establish there the order that was wanting, and like-
wise sought to be useful in establishing a source of
wealth and prosperity, not less important to the
commerce of Spain, than to the iteil-onilerstood in-
terest of her allies. II is they, that in junction with
the other inhabitants, have garrisoned the city foi
these three years past ; anti lastly; it is they that have
just given to Government half n million of dollars, to
enable it to take advantage of the retreat of the enemy
from their neighbourhood.
All chose are facts that every body knows, and, if
the Editor of the Times is ignorant of them, or does
not know how to appreciate them, our worthy Allies
will. -
