By the Montague packet, arrived at Falmouth,
we have received Cadiz Papers to the 9.(1 instant, bat
they do not contain any news of importance. The
French continued to occupy their lines before the
place, and at intervals were throwing shells into the
town, but without doing any material damage. It
was reported at Cadiz, when the Montague came
away, that BALLasrenos had engaged the rear of
SOULT'S army, which lie had defeated, taking 700
prisoners; but no credit was attached to the report.
At Cadiz, the Spaniards were in great hopes Lord
WELLINGTON would soon arrive and compel the ene-
my to raise the siege. Mr. LTsroN and suite arrived
at Cadiz on the 22d ult. end had again proceeded on
his mission to Constantinople. The packet left lying
in Cadiz Bay his Majesty's ships Revenge, 74; Al-
fred, 74; St. Albans, 64; Stately, 64 ; Standard,
64; Grampus, 50, Commodore COCKBURN (who
was to sail in a few days with the Commissioners to
mediate between Spain and her Colonies); Etna,
Thunder, Hound, and Volcano bombs; Basilisk:
and Encounter gun.hrigs; and Priacess Elizabeth
packet; and two Spanish frigates.

CADIZ, Kir I.

The Coisntanilant of the Xarine of Algeciras writes, with the
date of the 29th April, that General BALLASTERO4, with one of
the divisions of his army, defeated, and ce.-npletely routed on
the 29d of that month, at Compiling, another corps of the enemy,
ender the command of gag iClasmaodant-General of the King-
dom of Jaen.

Aram 28.

The Regency of the Rindom, filled with the greatest enthu-
siasm by the important services which the Earl of WELLINGTON,
Duke of Civoan RODRIGO, has rendered to Spain by the
rious capture of Badajos, and eager to give new public testi-
monies of the gratitude of the nation towards the hero, the con-
queror of the two above-mentioned places, have thought that
they cannot more satisfactorily express their feelings, than by
adorning the Mkt. of CIGOAD RODRIGO with the most high dis-
tinction of the National Order of St. Fernando, created solely
to reward great action in war. The Regency being authorised
todispenst, with the formalities and requisites required by the
natittes of the said order, in attention to the circumstances which
eqnror in the Doke of CIDDAD RODRIGO, have resolved effec-
tiv,l to co/terra' him the Oland Clrettli of the National Order
of St. Fenitto e, linpittig that this being the first distinction of
t is elate which is granted, it will be at once a homage corro-
Voadlui la 61 high Tarp Which this illustrious General has ac-
quired, and a powerful incentive presented to the noble anibi-
thiu of oar valiant warriors. The 11.--gei.cy of the Kiegdosn, in
consideration of the distinguished merit which the Field-Marshal
Dow Lots Lace has displayed in Catalonia, has been pleased to
promote him to the rank of Lieut.-General, confiding to him,
at toe 1:::ne time, the qualified command of the first army, which
he will exercise ad interim.—(Revacy Gazelle, iptil 518.)
