Requisition to their Chief Magistrate, we, are
happy to find, bold a Meeting at the GlObela.
vern, in that town, on Wednesday, the 9th inst.
when it was unanimously resolved--to present a
Petition to PArlismeett, praying for Patliamentary
Reform, and the
.Liberatlon from Custody Of Sir
FRANCIS BUI/SISTI,Ind/ONII GALS Rost -'s
also to Address to Sit FRANCIS Ronwitt a letter,
thanking him for the sThnd be has lately made in
'vindication of the liberty-of Ithe sabject. A Pe.
tition and Address, to the aforesaid purport, were
then read and approved of After which was
voted, a spirited Remonstrance to the MAYOR;
on his interposing his negative to prevent in the
Town of Liverpool a public discussion of public

Accourts have been received from Cadiz of
the 24th lilt. which state the fullotriag ospleasing
facts :
" The Fort of Matagorda, which Inutolißilately, been in
the possesdion of the British and SpaaidiMilap, was uses—
pettedly attacked by the French, who opened a battery,
maiming of forty guns and eight mortars. Tbithatarry was
so masked ad to deprive oar troops of any previous know-
ledge of its existence. The Spaniards now retreated acrom
the river; but the British troops remained as long as it
was possible. Major Laverne, of the Engineers, and about
15 or 20 men, were killed, and about 40 wonaded. Our troops
were afterwards obliged to retire to Cadiz, and to leave the
wooded at Matagorda. A Spanish line of battle ship,
which lay within gun-shot of Matagorda, was seder the se- I
amity of retiring up the river, towards Caraccas, where
another line of battle ship and some merchant ships lay.
" A serious inconvenience that will result from the lam of
Fort Matagorda, and our being driven from that side of the
water, is, that it will enable the French to bombard Cadiz,
and to render our anchorage-room very cozened."

Tim morning we received Portuguese Papers to
the 22d, Cadiz to the 14th, and Gibraltar to the
ft! ult. They still talc.; of the successes of the
Spaniards and Portuguese; but every thing we
hear from every other quarter deprives us of con.
fidence in those accounts.

Tuts day the Gentlemen in the City waited upon
the CHANCELLOII,Of the EX(IIEQU to learn the
amount of the New Loan, when they were in.
formed the sum of fifteen millions would be
wanted, viz.:—
Twelve Millions for England. .
(inc Million and a Half for Ireland.
One Million and a half for the Eau India Company.
