10 order all the generals and governors

Much reliance appears TO have been
placed oy the ministry and cortes upon

"Cadiz still holds out, and lit can stand

very mastery enterprise, and in few
hours more would probably have sue.

loss to the cause he defended. Quiroga,
IT is said, has reached Cadiz from Glib

cause has been looking desperate for 3
long time past but wien the French
government have succeeded, do not
think that much will be gained. The
