NEW YsRK, April %.
AS several erroneous publications have
appeared ia the newspapers respecting the
vessels destroyed in Cadiz and DESTROYS
that true statement should appear, / think
proper TO publsh the following
J. Peleg ,. Folger. master OF the brig
Young Soldier, lately arrived at New Yor;.
from Cadiz, being in said place in gale of
wind that commenced March 4, and Contin-
ned until March 9. 1910; in which gale a
number OF American vessels end others were
driven or shore ca the east side of said Bay.
and were destroyed by FIRE, do hereby give
ataj my opinion, and the opinion OF the Deo-
pie at Cadi2, as near as 1 could ascertain
the same, that the vessels that had a cargo
or part OF cargo on board, which The En-
gish knew @cull be beneficial to the French,
their enemy, they destroyed /; and that the
French destroyed all they coad get access
10. and kept in possession the officers and
crews OF all that remained on board at said
time. i believe it is not ascertaiBed in what
manner they were treated, as all comnuni-
cation from said part Of said Bay was entirely
cut off.
further think much honor is dua to AID
miTal sir John Purvis, commander of the
British fact tn en- in Cadiz, for his noble ex
ertions for the preservation of the Anne
TicaD shipping in said gale, and further say
not.
