Left Cadiz in the afternoon Of the 9th OF
Dec. 1909, with the schr. Ru,hy of Bos.
ION. The brig Mary Ann, Dyer, of and
for Alexandria, sailed tive day before the
! Camilla. -. 49," ,..
Upwards Of As sail Of American vessels
were at Cadiz, who had generally to store
their cargocs; the MARKETS being dull on
| account of the number of arrivals from the
u. States.
Six or 7 vessels would sail for different
ports in the y. S. in the course Of a week.
| Saw ar American brig standing in as the
Camill. came oat. There had arrived q
few DAYS bsfore she sailed two vessels from
the southwarJ, au,l one from the eastward,
! names not reco!!ecled.
Vessels carrying out cotton are subject
to a ua..ntna OF 40 days, Ut are all those
vessels whose bills Of health are not regu.
la,!y certified by the Spanish consul. The
conduct of the health officers had b:en so
various to vessels arriving from the y. S.
tina, it is impossible to give rule for their
conduct, as :,mos. every day brought out
so,nc new order.
The renewing the quarantine to 40 days
Che old regulatory was in consequence Of
the refusal Of the Spanish Colsv! at NeU-
1erk to endorse the bills Of health and at
the same time stated to the government that
a contagious DISEASE vas in Ncw-f"k; =.
and as all the ports in the United States
! had constant communication, it would te
proper TO lay gene,al quarantine, which
! WAS accordingly done nor were the Span
ish consular certificates to regular bills OF
hcal;h, from other ports in the i. States
any advantage in the FIRST instance, but all
shared the fate OF those from New York.
Even vessels which had been at Lisbon;
and performed quarantine of days, and
brought bills Of health from thence, had t.,
lay 40 days, detucsing the time they hid
been at Lisbon.
There wss no news Of consequence at
Cadiz, except that Gerona had a, las. fall
ca to the French, after having undergone
:. siege in which the inhabitants exporicnc.
cd great priya.ions aad Showed astonishing
fortitude aud courage rot equallrd by So.
ragossa or any place the French have be-.

of the defeated Spanish grand army, aud
had been able to form another of about
10000 of the defeated troops and peasan-
Try, with whom he hoped &c stop the pro-
gress of the French. 49,
There was report in Cadiz, which came
by the way of Gibraltar which was though,
very probable, that Bonaparte had ord:@sd
$4,000 of his troops from Italy into Spain,
and Intended to let his brother Joseph es-
tablish himself. - .. ',-..~
