We. giva the following estrut of a letter from
Cadiz, merely with a view a skewing in what eery
°profile lights the situation of lasi., in Spain, and
the diSpoeition of the Spaniards, can be viewed by
different people. Whilst must of the reports oi
the English In Spain abound in assertions of the
absolute supineness of the inhabitants, the writer
of this letter draws a picture, which, if he be nut
totally mistaken, would induce a belief that Spain
iiv is invible We, however, fear, that he views
the dispositions of the Spaniards through an incor-
rect medium :---

" Of all the excursions I have hitherto made, this, to Spain.
is the mast gratifying. Upon my arrival, about nineteen
days since, I found that the English are almost idolized by
the people of this country—who lope os as they abhor the
French, who have condocted theituelves like a set of fero-
cious and murdering banditti, plundering, butchering, and de-
solating wh Terre their mieriority of numbers have enabled
them to erect their standard. Thnnk Heaven the hells of
the convents have been ringime, and the gum upon the ram-
putt, and from the British and Spanish ships at war, &lag,
to announce the glorious victor% over the French by Sir A.
cti.estre and General CVC•TA, after the bloody butt•
ties of the litth and 25th of Jul., aft the same time tbe Mor-
o:lois of 11' C i.t.cm.cr, who is
.ju-t arriv.ed, has hero draws
throuth the streets by the enthusiastic and *nor, people of
this city, who have expressed the highest gratification at his
arrival. The coinridence of the Marquis's arrival, and the
prose( this great and glorious battle, ‘s as striking, partial-
'arty to such superstitious people as the Spaniards. I have
been over a embideratik portion of Andalusia, and have vi-'
sited the present seat of Goversinsent,Seville, from w hies l re-
butted by the iseaotifol river of Goa ialquivir, and every w beret
osperieseed the ailrehomot of the Spaoiarla to the Enlists.
Upon tbe carriage which I hired—upon the :inning of Ely
butt—crm the bandage, aisle' peasants hats—and nearly on
every land ud water c.srringe, art the same inseriptious,
s' live the FailA—Line Ferdinand—Live the good and brave
English." I a:n glad the sl.ftquis is arrived— Mr. Faeas is
very unpopatir. The Supreme Junta (or to they are called
B000ta) is composed, with the exception of four able and !
sp irked. arrolorf weak, igoora als and spiritless Grandees. The
present Junta a ill, probably, he soots oraoihilide4, rind a

discort.red to be an earthen jar, ..overed with
brown paper; thinking he had found a prize, he
took it up, but did not immediately open it. Ou
doing so some time after, he saw it was filled with
something white, which lie took to be tallow, but
which, on inspection, proved to be tht body of aso
infant.
A. medical gentleman mid several women, who
were examined, stated it as their opinion, that it
was the bf:tly of an infant about sit d oys old ; and,
from several circumstances, that the mother must
have been delivered by a midwife. The jar wasso
small, that it must have been with some difficulty
the body was squeezed into it, gni on its being
taken out, a considerable quantity of blood was
discovered at the bottom of the jar.
Under alt the circismvtanecs, the Jury returned
a Verdict of Wilful Murder splint some person
or persons unknown.
The jar is not a common one, hut is made of
iner earth then they usually are, and is ornament.
ed with a variety of Cores on the outside. "
