cended TO the garnet, where he found
some combustibe articles in n blaze
which he threw out of the window and
extinguished the fire. On returning TO
the chamber, he found Mrs Winslow
senseless on the floor. She had been
sitting near the fire place, when she was
struck down the fluid passing to the
opposite side Of the room and through
the window, which it demolished entire

Al the same moment ofthe above dis

LATEST FROM SPAIN.

NEW YORK, AUG. I4.-The brig Pc
friot FairchiId, arrived here this fore
noon in 50 days from Malaga, and 80
from Gibraltar. She left the latter port
on the 9th July, at which time the
French army remained at its former
position off Cadiz, without having efiec-
ted any thing
The biockading squadron from Al
gcsiras, which touched at Gibraltar on
the 81 July, sailed again on the 4th for
Cadiz. The Spanish privateers had
captured several French merchantmen
off Algesiras. The Governor gave the
vessels upon demand of the French
Admiral, who threatened to fire on the
town if his request was not complied
vita. The American squadron was at
Port Mahon. Flour was 5 10 per bbl.
al Gibraltar-it had sold for five days
previous.
Spain. A letter received in this city,
dated "Marseilles, June 2sth," repre-
sents the French trade as totally sus-
pended owing TO the numerous captures
by the privateers ofSpain, which swarm
in the ocean and Immediately opposite
to the French ports. Many of the NOR
chants had stripped their ships of the
rigging; an apprehension was entertain
ed that the contest with Spain would
be longer than was at FIRST expected.
1t appears now TO be pretty well as
certained, that Cadiz may be supplied
with provisions and other necessaries, in
small vessels, without interruption from
the blockading squadron. So long as
this is the case, there is little chance of
the French succeeding in the great OBJ
ject they had in view-thc obtaining
possession Of the person ofthe King, in
whose name they might have, for sea-
son at least, overturned the Constitu-
tiopal system While the Cortes arc
true to the cause while the armies
continue to fight; and while the strong
holds of Spain resist all attempts to in
duce them to surrender, we shall never
despair of the final triumph of the pa
triots.--E Post
