WAR against France had been published;
ths, ,he Spanish priva,ecrs we're iuiDy ou,
With all expedition, sod that orc French mer.
chant vessel had been captured off AIgesirss
previous 10 the sailing OF this vessel.
The following Interesting letter from Ca.
dlz, dated hpr,. 2sih, was received 10 ihls

CApIz April 25.
The French, ss you know, entered Spain
on the 7th, and without meeting any opposi-
tion proceeded as far q, ViitofIa--Tbs ad
varced guard is composed OF disconnected
Spaoiards, which he French elbow very much
against their own interest, as the spirit OF
vense anee which leads them on has creaIed
&c action, and those who oihe wise were dis.
posed TO receivo the French tranquility, are
retiring from their homes, and uniting hem
srlye. to Bsies,eros by thousands. Almost
all the loca. militia OF the Province. have al
ready abandoned their houses, and are collect
ing where their services may be useful. In
the towns the French have passed, some dis.
orders have been committed, as much from
the disappointment Of nor meeting the zveicome
reeehtton they erhecird, as from sny ohst
cause The Constitutional Genetal O'Don.
n ell. is doing Wondets--we pei ceive his ener.
gy in every act he performs. The last &C.
counts we have Of him, i. that Of his having
organized an army Of about ! 5 600 men, with
which he will soon begin TO operate, and be-
iievc one OF his hrst Steps will be TO secure
the passes of Somosiera, about IL leagues
North OF Madrid. All The Milnis oi Madrid,
amounting 10 nearly 5000 men, have volun-
teered en- masse TO JON The army OF reserve in
Andaus - Win such eiemeats 10 a people,
what shoudybe ibeir reward Certainly not
oppression.
The gcvcrnment have not yet signed a
declaration of war. We expec, il every mo.
mtnt. suppose great umbers OF psjvs'eers
will be Gltso out from the y. States. II they
come here, they will get commissions with
out sny d'flieuIy--,he grand object being 10
do the F.eneh all the mischief possible.
"I, IS reported, and l believe correctly,
that Cad,z will shortly be put under the mar
t,sl law, to be prepared tor The worst, and that
Goye,nor wi! DC appointed who will unite
in his own person, he Civil and Military su.
ioofi,y. II he be . mao Of nerve, he will do
much good"
