Tuts mowing arrived 'a Mail from Cadiz, and.
another from Gottenbtergh ; the. former bringing
Spanish Papers 'down to the 24th of June, and
the latter German Papers to the 25th. We give
the following extracts from the Papers brought by
these two mails. The Letters from Stockholm wilt
be found extremely interesting. let that city it.
self, there appears great doubt as to the cause and
motive of the late insurrection ; but it is pruba.
bly from an opinion that the late Crowir Prince
of Sweden was poisoned, to make way fur the
union of the Crowns of Denmark sad Sweden.
TUE Letters from Stockholm contain a RaeonT
iron) the CUANCEI.LOR of JUSTICE, concerning au
Enquiry in the Office of Justice, ordered by the
KING, respectieg the cause of the Cleo, fetal Wes's
death. The Report states, that the Enquiry is
not yet closed ;s but that as far as it has paw,"
there is no reason to suppose the Prince died
otherwise than a natural death ; and it ends with
submitting to his MAJESTY the propriety of his
Manny' offering a reward to any ono who can
throw any light upon this interesting subject. In
consequence of the above Report, the KING
has , ordered a reward of '20,000 rix-dodars' in
bank specie to any person who can give evidence
of the manner of the Ptitmci:'s death.
On the 20th of June, the Senate and fifty Elders
of the Citizens of Stockholm, headed by the Go.
vertior, Major-General Sultoesaasio, had an
audience of his fitaiusztr, .to assure him of their
un:haken attachment to his Royal Perkin, and
Government.

CADIIK, Joan 23.—1 have little to add to my last commu-
nication. We know the expedition that left this place, hav-
ing arrived at Alexcara, and joined by other troops and,
armed peasantry, are gone to Ronda; at the Mae time that
General BOWEN with a detachment of British troops, calls
the attention of the enemy all along the coast to the eastward.
We long to learn the result, which, no doubt, is combined
with some other operation here.

SrOCKROLW, June ?.—By authentic accounts received
in this capital, the English men of war which have, of
talcs successively arrived in the Rabic, the Cattegat, and
the Belt, under the orders of Admiral SACMIREZ, consist
of SO sail of the lice, three of which are three-deckers, 4 fri-

TllESpanish Papers and Letters contain various
rumours and statements of skirmishes, but they do
not demand any particular attention. It was
st.►ted at Seville, that JoSEPII BONAPARTE had
marclimi from Madrid, with two divisions, for
Valencia ; other accounts say; he goes to Anda.
Insia ; others to Estremadura ; anti others to
Burgos. In Madrid preparations were making to
give bullfights.

WE have the pleasure of laying before our I
readers an extract of a letter from an officer of
rank, employed in the Island of Leon. The
communicat►ons from Cacl;z have been generally
eonfi led to what passed in the towu itself, or in
the Bah The information contained in the fol.
lowing is more extensive and circumstantial. It
contains some interesting particulars respecting
the state of the enemy's works, the means that are
prepared to oppose them, and the condition of
the Spanish and British troops:— _

" ISLE OF LEON, Jvxe 10.

" Our situation is such that it affords very little variety
firing from the batteries, morning, noon, and night. We
have not lost as yet an inch of ground, nor do I think that it
i 3 likely at present, although Marshal Lzeasva e has taken
the command a the French army, and report says, that he
has pledged himself to take Cadiz in the course of a month—
that he intends to breakfast at Isla, and dine at Cadiz oo a
certain day; but I think he will get such a lunch on the road,
tun his appetite vv.)! be spoiled for dinner.
" The enemy have been before this plate nearly b months,
anihavc not yet gained a single step; intact, when they first
took a piaition before it, they were above a thousand yards
iu adance to what they are now. They are constructing
very.large redoubts, and are otherwise acting so muclroo the
defensive, that I think their force is not so great as Is gene-
rally supposed..

46 The Spanish soldiers are very fine fellows; and ht several
itatancti, in which they have been led on well by their olh•
cert. have behaved rimarkabl) well. General BLAXII has
introduced stricter .diseipline among them' suck as having
them out to drill, and attending par:tacit% which bas been hi-
therto much uegkcted. l'eannot well give you an account of
their numbers, but I should think they have front ten to twelve

thousand men; and numbers arrive daily as they are picked
up along the e..ast by the shipping and brought into Cadiz.—
The number of unemployed officers was very great till lately,
w,ben about 700 were sent to Minorca, to organize some re-
cruits, and to be in readiness to be sent to any part of the
coast of the Mediterranean. Notwithstandiag, this place is still
crowded with them. Since the British troops have been Isere,
the Spanith soldiers have altered their appearance very much,
by opying the former in their dress us far as possible, and
they begin to look rather smart. They have also better
clothing, and every thing assumes a brighter appearance.
" We are at present shaking our position as strong as pos-
ible, which is called our secOod lies' of defence, and consists
of redoubts. It keeps me employed front four in the morn-
ing till seven at night, resting only lathe extreme heat of :he
day. The troops are rather sickly. owing to the wine be-
ing so cheap, of which they drink so muds, that it bringt on
d.isentery, &c. We arc considered as a division of Lord
NGTON's arm y. Although the French arc remarka-
bly quiet, and are intrenching themselves, and we on our
part arcs:ha strengthening our position, yet, notwitlistandine
this calm, we may shortly have a storm. A few du vs since
I about 4.000 Spaniards arrived. which makes us tolerably
strong, about %I,l3;Yhtnen. We had a „rand field-day on the
4th; the troops were in excellent order, and looked remark-
ably well. Seventy horses have arrived for the artillery;
also 200 dragoons; so that the army is very complete, nod
every thine sisal is to be expected from British troops will,
I am certain, he rerforined by them."

• By a Geutleman Who has just arrived from
Tarragona, we learns that At that city and at
Tortosa, the inhabitants were actively engaged in
snaking preparations in *the eXpectation of a siege.
The force already raised amounted to about 6000
men, only two regiments of •whieh were, coin.
!steely armed, accontred and disciplined ; and the
remainder, consisting of boys from 1G to 20 years
old, were daily exercised in the open fields, fur.
Inished With heavy Mayes instead of muskets. That
the military might receive the enemy with greater,
adviotaget should he make. his appearance, the
suburbs of the town fur nearly the distance of al
'Lille were levelled to the ground.

IT will be seen, by our Portsmouth Letter,
that Dispatches Crap CAR:LACAS arc arrived in

the Welli4glon.
