Gibraltar, FEB. 7.
Ship Medora, from Philadelphia, in CO.
ming in let 90 her anchor in shoal water,
and touched the bottom, by which she
broke her rudder-she was hove of with
but little damage. The schnr Dove, from
Philadelphia, arrived with the loss of her
mate and one man washed overheard, and
had thrown over part OF her cargo Of flour
and one cable; she is now discharging and
her cargo is much damaged. The wind has
prevailed from the westward since the 18th
January, which has prevented many vessels
from sailing, which have been ready since
that time. We have not heard Of the arri-
val of any Of our countymen in our neigh
boThood, except brig Susannah g. Mary,
from Boston at Cadiz.
February 8.
The wind is now fair, and the vessels
mentioned as ready, arc preparing to get
under weigh. We have heard of the arr-
val o. the brig Despatch, Simmons, at Ali
cant. We have two ca.gocs of flour unsold
in this bay, said to be bound to Lisbon; but
there is no inducement to go there at pre-
sent prices. Last sale oflour here was 9:
per Dbl. and we have now in store and in
the bay from Is TO 60, 900 bis; large parcel,
have arrived from England and Madeira.

By letters from Oran, up to the Gath De-

January 80.
A Spanish royal order of the l4th inst.
published in the Madrid Gazette, of the |
Esd directs all foreigners, taken with arms
in their hands in the insurgent provinces of
America, or convicted Of supplying the re-
bells with the means ofcarryiDg on the con-
test with the mother country, to be imme-
dia,ely put to death, on the ground that
the continuation of this unnatural contest |
is chiefly 10 be imputed to them, and that
they have no claim to the mercy which his
majesty sbews in many instances, to the in.
surgents themselves, as they can never
plead ignorance or seduction, which is Of
ten the case with his majesty's deluded
subjects.

tanned the ship, and part Of the men. The
pirate mounted about 80 guns, and was sold
10 the old king, for about $50 pituls Of san-
