gence, the squadron of their Britannic and Ca-
tholic Majesties fired a salute,
,which was an-
swered by, one from the batteries of Cadiz.—
The Charger, Lieut. ASKEW, is waiting for a fair
wind to enable her to sail to Alicant with Mr.

Exchange of Prisoners. The troops at Isla de Leon,

dition to Carthagena, are placed uuder the command
of Col. Lord Paosy. On the 31st, a Court-Martial
was held on board the Alfred, for the trial of a sea-
man belonging to a gun-boat, for embezzlement of
!tore,; which being proved, he was sentenced to re-

Forces, arrived here on Wednesday in the Gan,y-

Last night it blew very violently from the S. W.
attended with a heavy swell;. the Ganymede parted
one of her anchors : the rest of the men of war held
on, but the merchantmen drove.—The Regency of

are in the vicinity of the French troops, with grain,
or any species of provisions.—Don CAYETANO.
