We this day received Cadiz Papers to the Sd

st,tnt. Tlie Extracts 'below include
.thou principal
content. These Papers continue to mimeo et the
successes of the Spanish arms against the treacherous
invader, as rapidly progressive. Letters from Spain
represent the issue of the Expedition against Ma-
laga es peculiarly disastrous. It was received by
4000 French troops, and completely routed. One
circurnstance, however, may, if properly attend.

an *fair which 3 English ships had with the French

that only the Ajax (French ship of the line) and
the Amelia frigite were able to get within gun-
shot of the 3 English vessels ; that the English

to begin the attack, but so far were they from hear.
