BY the ship Illinois, Capt Brown, which

we're transporting their heavy ordnance
to Bad,jos, which place the; were going to

BY this arrival we have received Lis

counts from Corunna to the 4th Feb. which
state that as late as the 22d of Jan. Valen-
cia held out---Accounts from Cadiz to 9th
Feb. state that on 25th Jan. Blake had still
possession of Valencia, and that he had
lately received a Considerable supply Of
provisions. These accounts contradict the
statements formerly received, that Valencia
was captured on the 9Th of January, and
that Blake with the garrison had been made
prisoners.

We are informed that Lieutenant Clark
has received orders from government, to
place this harbor in complete state ofade-
fence. From this 1:e infer, that it is the in
tention OF government to man the forts with
such an additional number of troops as the
exposed situation of the city requires for it's
defence. 1t is a source Of regret that this
city has been suffered to remain without mi.
litary preparation so long, as IL is certaittly a

they reached the shore they were observed
