MISCELLANEOUS ARTICLES.

The possession of fort Ma,agorda, we
are happy TO State, is not likely 10 produce
that e8eSt in accelerating the surrender
OF Cadiz. which the inhabitants seemed to
apprehend, aud the enemy reckoned upon.
From survey made by the principal en-.
gineer at Cadizi it appears that the enemy
cannot take up position on that point
from which the town can be bombarded
with effect. The distance between Mata-
gorda and the nearest bastion of the for.
tifca'ions of Cadiz, is 1898 yards. nearly
two English mites. Very small shells,
discharged from "a Founders, will barely
reach the town. The Inhabitants. howe.
yer, are not under much apprehension OF
being annoyed from so rdistan. a position.
Cadiz is plentiioly supplied with water
and provisions and unless the movements
of the enemy be favourable, and support.
ed by traiiorous corporation from within,
the siege is likely 30 become an enterprise
OF great difficulty.

PARTY

Say some, is like deadly blast; but
others, better informed, perceive that
it is the animating spirit, the refresh
ing breeze which fans the purest flame
of patriotism. Montesquieu was war
ranted in concluding, that it would pro-
duce dreadful mischief, Gin republics)
were party to cease for then liberty
must cease also. It is therefore pro-
bable that many VINO rail against par
ty spirit, are profoundly ignorant a.
bout political good or evil; or, what
is far worse, perfectly Indifferent whe-
Their nations be composed of freemen
or of slaves. In despetic government,
there are no parties--neither in strong
monsrchies; but faction burns in Sc
Gre, and bursts forth in sudden and
destructive blaze. There, it is the
sultry and portentous calm, or the
sweeping tornado. a superficial OBJ
server, perceiving the former, would
net suspect the latter. AS the natu-
raj, so is the moral or political world.
Earthquakes we md are rare, where
the regular gales " expand the rustling
wias."-What folly il is to murmur
at the existence of FIRE, or air, or wa
ter,-'or party spirit! Life cannot be
supported without the former nor IL
serty, without the latter. Yer, we do
not admire conaagration either at sea
or on land, whether the dwelling oft
irish patriot or the ship of the Anne
ricau merchant be involved in it !; nor
are we delighted with inundations nor
pleased with hurricanes These are
dissgreeable objecisj and faction is
not less so. But, am l to resign my
zeal aud opinions, because my neigh

LATEST FROM DENMARK.

The brig Inca, Mezick, and schr.
Amphion, Knowles, arrived here yes
terday from Sylt, which they left June
lst. BY the Amphion. we have received
the Hamburg Correspondenten, to 1 It'll
May only, which are in the hands Of a
gentleman, who has kindly undertaken
to translate their contents. Letters
to the 25th May have been received,
but they contain nothing politically
Important. The markets are glutted
and dull, prices merely nominal, mas
much as they depend upon the quan.i-
ty which it is possible TO SNUG gle into
the continent. Although the Danes
appear not to be disposed to acquiesce
in all the views of Bonaparte, yet re-
quest from him respecting p-utral pro-
perty, keeps thosein trade under con-
tinued apprehensions. The Danish
frontier is said to be we'll lined with
Danish troops, to preserve the integri-
ty of their own dominions. The bloc
kade Of Elsineur was not known at
Sylt, when those vessels sailed. The
French decree for the sequestration of
American property, issued at RAM
boillet, was officially promulgated IN
the Dutch papers. The prices of su.
gars only, are said to be worthy of at
tention.
