pose of forming a treaty. beneficial to the
interests of the two nations. The conven-

and the proceedings are given at length.
From the intimate connection that exists
between the two nations in laws, language
and religion, and 10 terminate all The dis
sestions which had been too frequent Of
late, it appears that a treaty OF union and
fraternity has been arranged to promote
their mutual prosperity, and that this

BAL4IMoRE, Friday .Moraing, Sept. IL.
The fast sailing packet ship Ulysses, capt. Han,
cock, arrived at this port last evening in 4 days
from Liverpoo---She brings London dates to the
28lh, and Liverpool to the 3lst July.
Accounts had been received of an attack by the
French upon Cadiz, IN WHICH THEY WE'RE
COMPLETELY DEFEATED.
The attack was made on the 9th Of July by or
10000 men.--It had lasted but a short time, when
the French were Obliged to retire from the contest;
and afterwards sent flag oltruce to ask permission
10 bury their dead-whch was granted
The blow is now struck which we firmly believe
will be the salvation Of the Peninsula the Span
iards have proved themselves worthy of Freedom
they have now turned upon their pursuers and the
consequence will be the retreat ofthe French

ricen are indebted for Ee OF the Echo OF Porto

interesting.
PoRTo Rico, esd August 1925.
BY the vessel, the Virgin del Carmen, which left
Barcelona on the 9Th ult. we have received news
from that city as late as that date. The captain and
pilot OF said vessel say that the public spirit in favor
Of the right and Just cause abounds to an exiraor-
binary degree Of enthusiasm in all classes ofsociety.
General NINA, who had arrived there in i'll health,
had recovered and prepared himself to sally with
his army on the 18th.
On the 9Th July General MiLANS attacked the
enemy at the tuente de .T0lines del Reg, and al
though his troops were no, above 5000 and those OF
the enemy exceeded 1900, he routed thepl cont
Ipteiely.
| The captain and pilot most positively assure Us
that the army OF General NINA Is composed Of
10000 men that he has under his command re-
gment of French, with tri-coloured cockades and
imperial eagle, together with battalion of FGccio-
| cos, composed Of $50 men, of whom he has sufh-
cient proofs TO enable him to put unbounded conf
Idence in.
They also observe that the division OF General
, AIANSO was in the Ebro; that among the forces
which protect Barcelona, there is battalion OF La
dies wearing haberd and kind OF cloak--that
they take care OF the sick and wounded, and trans
port them on their own shoulders to the hospitals
and that these heroines perform most heroic and
| impoI tant services.
