A cons.an, communication 10 maintain.
ed between Cadiz and the adjacent country,
by vessels which'are employed for this pur.
pose 80 that not only intelligence is Oh.
tanned, but also provisions in sufficient a.
bundanee' to supply the wants of the .garri.
son and inhabitants. Two irigates have
arrived in the harbor, one Of them convey
ing from Porto Rico, three millions Of dol
lars and quantity of valuable produce
the other laden with specie and other va
luable commodities.
One of the letters from Cadiz, mentions
that the city of Seville, provided with 1000
troops and 400 pieces of artillery, surrsn'
dered to the enemy without firing shot.
The cause is very easily explained. We
have before mentioned ofthe orders given
by the psr6dious junta to tho duke of Al.
huquerque, which, if obeyed, would have
enclosed him in hst prepared by the enc
my. We now understand that general
Castanos, knowing the designs OF these
traitors, sent a confidential messenger TO
that noblsman, apprising him of his danger
and urging, him to proceed with the utmost
raPidity to the Isle Of Leon.
We had also yesterday a mail from Lis
bon, with letters from that capital to the
27th uls. and from the interior some days
earlier. The former are wholly deficient
ia military intelligence, but the following
letter from head quarters, contains some
important particulars
