Accounts had been received of an at
tack by the French upon Cadiz. IN
WHICH they were COMPLETELY
DEFE.aTEDi
The attack was made on the 10th Of
July by S or 10000 men. II had lasted
but short time, when the French were
obliged TO retire from the contest; and
afterwards sent a flag of truce TO ask
permission to bury their dead-which
was granted !.
The blow is now struck which we
firmly believe will be the salvation of the
Peninsula; the ..Spaniards have proved
themselves worthy offreedom; they have
now turned upon their pursuers, and the
consequence will be the retreat of the
French across the mountains of Spain
II the Holy Alliance should now join
the invaders, the naval thubders of Eng
land will be heard a second time, from
the cape of Trafalgar, denouncing death
to the neutrality-suspicious. Ciron.
