SORFoLK, Feb. I3.-We have receiv-
ed adtIces from CadiZ TO The early part
OF ID eccmler.
Don Ohis has somewhere found infu-
encc enough 10 gel The office oil Minister
plrnipoi~niiary 10 Russia, at which il is
said he Is delighted beyond measure; for
II IL understood that since his return
from thus country he has been so much
IN the " back ground" as to express his
DISCUS; al his treatment and his wish 10
gel away from the country as soon as
possible.
The naval force in Cadiz, in December,
consisted of line of battle ships, fri
gates, or s sloops and briggs, aud 80 gun
vessels, carry ing each tive 24 Founders,
besides d number of transports. most of
which, however, required considerable
repairs before they could be iii Tor ser
wee. They are represented, moreover, as
being badly manned and Otherwise dctl-
cIeui.
Orders had been given To embark six
thousand men for Caracas, 10 relieve
Gen. Morillo.-Ihe execution o! this or.

was lie great opponent OF the Florida
treaty, and indeed lie is supposed 20 have
been the sole cause of lis rejection, So
pOieui was his influence over The King
and council. II appears however, that he
had rendered himself extremely nDnoX d.
IrUS 10 tie other ministers aud 10 every
body else. We are told that IL was he
