uPon Dupont before he received such an ac-
cesFion, which would make his division be-

are anxious for Intelligence from Cadiz. we
are by no means apprehensive of Dupont's
being able to- sustain himself or to make good
ms retreat; he would not have proposed To
have captulated, had he thought there was
the least cnance OF making head against the
Patriots. That he still remained wi:hont
being attacked, though several days had
iapsed since he proposed to capitulafe. is
probably to be imputed to the knowlcaS4
which gen. Castanos possessed of his being
in great want of provisons--and of its beirs |
unnecessary therefore for him to do tl.at By
the sword, which would be done as fFectnal !
