land dispatches from Spain, which, altho'
their contents were kept secret, were with

real discontent among the troops on the

Instead of aba,ing increased. This was
particularly the case with the troops en-

to transportation to Cayenne. They were
all succeeded by Frenchmen, with whom
the Irish guides are very much dissatisfied.
Two regiments of dragons and four bat
taiions of infantry, were, on account of
their mutinous disposition sent by Ange.

obey, until the arrears due to them were
acquitted. (Sun.)

The arrival ofthe Malta, of 80 guns. at
Plymouth, on Saturday, with dispatches
from sir Robert Calder, has put an end to
the ssngulne hopes SO generally entertained
that our squadron would have succeededin
bringing the sombined fleet once more into
action. Itnow appears that from the even
ing of the 25th ult. none of the enemy's
vessels were to be seen. We have been
favored with letter from an officer on
board the Malta, which the following rs an
