On Saturday last, the merchants presented
Capt. johnson. who so brately defended the

WIN handsome piece Of plate, which was

We have received by the Catharine Rogers

SPAIN.
A. letter received at Providence, dated on
board the u. S. frigate Constitution, at Glib.
raltar, September Sd, states that there had re-
Gently been An engagement in sight between
Spanish fort and two French ships, which
lasted two hours, when the ships hauled off,
From the circumstance Of its being stated,
thai me fort has since been capitulated," il is
more than probable That tie writer meant
AlgesIras, which IS close To Gibraltar, and
which we are previously informed in The
Paris papers had surrendered 10 the invaders.
II is added that the French general LalIemand
and Sir Robert Wilson we're AZ Gibraltar. and
had visited the Constitution, on board of which
Mr.. Nelson, our minister, had taken up his
residence, as he could not get to Cadiz
IL Is thus confirmed, that down 10 the Sd of
September at least, the duke d'Amgoueme
lad iaiIed IN obtaining possession Of Cadiz, Ell
Their by bribery, by negotiation, or by arms
the London Observer ofthe 25lh August con
tans an article on this object, written appar-
emily ny some person intimately acquainted
with the state of things in the peninsula. nj
appears that two parties exist in Cadiz, equal
IN numbers and strenglb.-Thc one beaded hy
ArgueIes, rs for continuing the defence to the
utmost; the other is for Offering terms to the
duke d'Angouleme through the medium of
England. The party who contend for cou-
iInued resistance maintain that Cadiz cannot
he. taken either by siege or famine the for
iress being impregnabIe TO any force which |
France can bring against il, as was demonstrate |
ed in The case of Napoleon, and the capture Of |
the town being equally impossible, as il was
provided with bread stui1s for al least year.
The party who are in favor of negotiating
IS understood TO have lately gained So nuci
strength as TO have encouraged its leaders 10
