Well, then, inhabitants of Cadiz, you see what

estimable gift of liberty, are the 'only powerful.

CIRCULAR.
The district of this city, compr:sing the Royal
Island of Leon, sees itself surrounded by an caw-
my,, wise seeks to atiliet it with the grestest dis-
tress, with respect to the scarcity or provisions,
Coale; wood, aud .other articles of the first fleets-
siiy, by cutting oW the means to enable them to
penetrate its walls. Cadiz, firm in, her pritici.
pies, is pot-capable of succumbing under such
vile efforts. It is resolved to eteruize its
defence by the chastisement of her enemies.
—ln order to effect her 'popes., it is nixes-
sary that all the pfovinces, and particularly the
sea-port towns, should endeavour to sad by
water, all kinds of provisions and fire.wood
that they can collect. Such is the eiber.
tation of Cadiz to all her kindred towns, which
are so much *created in the conservation of this
city, so. important to the Monarchy. Lastly,
they expect that your Excellency will contribute,
with all your power, to stimulate all farmers and
merchants within your jurisdiction, and inform
, them, that, for whatever they shall bring, they
shall be paid in current money upon deliecry of
their goods, and that their crews ,and:cargaes shall
not suffer the slightest kiestrence or molestatien.
