Extract ofa letter from young american
gentleman in Cadiz, dated January IL,
1915.
|. An expedition, Of about ten thousand
men, to be under the command of General
Moriio, has been fitting out from this port
Tor the last three months, going to South A.
merica, III order to quell the people in that
Quarter The government have embargoed
all the Spanish vessels to carry them there
IN number 81 sail. The affairs IN Spain
wear shocking aspect since the king has
returned every thing has been put stop 20,
and he has completely shut their mouths.
Al public papers put stop to, and new or
ders and DEGREES arriving every post from
Madrid Every night, regularly, in this ci-
~, there are from ten to fifteen persons ar
rested; some for speaking too freely when
the cortes was in Spain and others for beirg
supposed suspicious characters Upwards
OF forty (some of them very respectabe) c;ti-
zens, have been banished, for four and five
years, to Ceuta. The Spanish frlgate Eme-
ralda, arrived or the 1lth, from Vera Cruz
and HAVANA, with upwards of three mil
lions OF dollars on board, for the king and the
clinical.
You can have no idea Of the disgust that
both the Spaniards and French havs, at the
conduct OF the British, in burning Washing
ton Immediately upon the arrival Of Mr..
Madison's message 20 Congress at Madrid,
1t was instantly translated and published IN
the Madrid Gazette"
