Marshal Turenne being one day alone in a
box of the play house, some provincial mobiles
came in, who, not knowing him, would oblige
him to yield his seat in the hrst row They
had the insolence, upon his refusal, to throw
his hat and gloves upon the stag. The mar
sinai, without being moved, desired lord OF
the first quality to hand them up to him. The
gentlemen, finding who he was, blushed, and
would have retired but he, with much good
humor, entreated them to stay, saying, that,
ffthey vould sit close, there zvas room enough
for them all %

In the business, Gentlemen, of your pre-

TO accord with the Legislature. An union of
sentiment between the different departments
Of the State Governments, and between these
and the Government Of the United States,
will ensure success to our political pursuits ;

Which is the only means by which they can con-

VERY LITE FROM CADIZ.

Arrived below last evening, the ship Leda,
Hobson, in % days from Cadiz. Captain H.
who came up to town last night, informs, that
on the 2lst February an expedition sailed from
Cadlz, consisting of about $4,000 men, $500
English, the remainder Spaniards, destined for
Conel, small town 2 / miles to the southwark
French besieging army before that place which
was supposed to be very weak, owing to con-
siderable bodies Of troops having been sent to
reinforce Soult before Badajos and Massena.--
The English part of the expedition was said to
have made a safe landing on the 26th; on &C
count OF the badness OF the weather the Spa
niards returned and sailed again on the 26th.
1t was expected the French would be driven
from before Cadiz...5ooo Spaniards we're also
to march from Algesiras to Medina Sidonia to
act in concert with the other troops. Gen. Gra-
ham commanded this expedition the whole
French force from St. I.ucar to Conel was
not supposed to be more than or 5000
men and no possibility of getting reinforce
ments nearer than BadaIos or Granada, the
siege of the former, ill that case they would
be obliged to give up, or entirely give up
the other and leave Malaga exposed. Reports
WV
to abandon the siege Of Badajos and march TO
the relief Of Victor, commanding before Ca
diz, but this was not believed.
The British force in the Bay of Cadiz con-
sisted of six line of battle ships, two lrigates
three bomb ships, and great number of briggs
of war and gun boats, under the command OF
Rear Admiral Sir Richard Keates, which was
supposed would attack the French batteries
III front while the army attacked them In the
rear. The Church of St. Philip in Cadiz was
fitted up for the reception of the Cortes, and
they removed from IsIia, and met for the first
time in that city OF the Oath February. Pro-
visions of every description was plenty, and
when the Leda left Cadiz, there was from Is
to 10000 barrels of Flour shoat in the Bay,
AMI in conse uence Of the number of arrivals
with that article, it had fallen from II to Is
dollars.
