FROM CADIZ.
BY the arrival at Marblehead of the Sch.
Johnanna, As days from Cadiz we learn, that
the French had taken Fort near Cadfz,
(Which had been garrisoned by the 'EngifsliO
with great slaughter; and with almost entire
destruction to the garrison--,hat the French
were repairing it, and building bridge, and
it was expected the city would not hold u
month The English men of war and othtr
armed vessels had dropped down some dis
tance below the city. Two vessels arrived
the 9Th of May with 100000 dollars. TIE
French have privateers out of St. Lucar, ami
have captured five American vessels, one "a
Ship of 800 tuns, loaded with Tobacco. Al
gerine vessels are cruising between ST. MI-
ry's anil St. Vincents, and were reported to
have captured several Portuguese vessels.
BY the latest accounts from Spain, the
seige OF Cadiz was pressed with unabalhg
vigour. The English ships had left their
first stations, and the French made ;constalrs
approaches to the city. The French appear
ed to view their present position not so much
a post 1T military danger as an opportunity 70

new lessons in the art of war and of fortific &.

Extract Of a letter from British officer in Cdds-. %
his friend in Plymouth, dated 30fh .lp,si 1910.
1t will not be very long 5efore | expect 10
see you, for it is impossible notwihstanGinf,
the fiattering prospect We have hitherto had,
TO retain our position, or to defend this CITY
in the present situation of affairs
On the 22d inst we were under the neceSs-
sity of abandoning the important Fort Of Nj.
togorda, after suffering severe loss fru,h
the destructive fire of the French ar,iieN.
which completely destroyed the fort and reir.
deredit no Iongef tensble.
Immediately on our retiring tire Fretfch
advanced and took possession and are nov
ousily employed in rendering it most aforfiff-
dabie position ships Of war have alreatl7
been obliged to change their stations repear-
ediy, being exposed to the fire of redh0t shit
from the cnemy's batteries, it only remaihs
Tor the enemy to complete his arrangements
which is out of our power to prevent, and
then Cadiz must fall of course.
BY late advices from Paris, it IS asserted
to be the intention of the Emperour 10 esta,f.
llsh kingdom IN South America, and place
Ferdinand VII. on the throne OF that Kingdom
ms Is sufficient reason to account for t,k.
late conduct oil that Prince i'm refusing 70 fr.
YOUR the late bold and daring airempt of the
British government to procure his euisryfe-
ment.
Itappears that the insurrection which had
broken out in Sweden in favour of their iostE
deposed monarch, was confined 10 merely \
lew English Agents and their corrup, adtier,
ents, who were soon overpowered, them per-
sons arrested and their lives forfeited TO the7S
temerity. .'erv- York Pu6hek .fdvertisey.l
II appears that Ferdinand VIIlike an wfo
trust to Brif,sh friendship, has already haa
enough of that kind of fraternily WhcA
the emissary from Great B,i'ain lately waitcd
upon him idstead OF accompanying him q
England, as the British expected, re NOT otr.
