EXTRACTS.
LONDON, March IL,

LONDON, March 81.
Dispatches have been received from sir
Henry Wellesley, at Cadiz, and letters and
papers from that place to the 18th March.
Inc French besieging army has been great
ly weakened by a strong detachment having
been sent off to cooperate In a fresh attack
upon TariHa. The new regency has refus.
ed to ratify the treaty entered into between
Elio and the inhabitants Of ~t3uenos Ayres.
A law has been passed making it death
for any person to ship any kind of produce
whatever, to any port or place in the pos,
session Of the enemy.
His majesty's ship Canymede has arriv-
ed at Falmouth from Cadiz, with the Span.
lsh count de Fernandez on board. lie is
to succeed the duke del Iufantado, as ana
bassador from the new Spanish regency 10
the British cabinet.
Accounts are received from Paris, via
Havre, to the 23d inst. BY which it appears,
that the Emperor had not Left the Capitol
but it was hourly expected his departure
would be announced in form.
An American vessel, called the Congress,
capt. CLARK, from Baltimore, bound 10 Lon.
don, had been taken and sent into Cher
b~ourgh-this vessel sailed from America
on the @th February, and had been expect
ed to arrive here for some time, and a con
siderable amount has lately been insured
upon her in the City. She has been called
an English ship in the Paris papers: bu,
this trick will not do. This is another con
viucing proof that the Berlin and Milan
DEGREES are still in force and the atte m
to palm her upon the public as an English
vessel, is another instance of the duplicity
of the conduct of France towards America
Such attempts ought ever to be exposed
m their true shape and complexion. This
capture is a valuable one, and therefore
they are more anxious to deceive the public.
The late westerly gales have not, as yet,
brought any later counts from America.
1t isnow nearly 5odays since the last vessel
left America. This week, we expect,
will bring something of importance.

Mr.. b. said, he had but a very few remarks
10 make it was not his intention to go into
