SORTIE of the SPANIARDS FROM
CADiZ.

Upon the subject OF the sortie OF the
Spanish troops from Cadiz, we ind the
following interesting remarks in the
London Globe of the z9th July:
The sortie of the Spaniards from Ca
dig on the 10th, the notice Of which IN
the French papers we gave our readers
Yesterday, is a proof Of the strength
and confidence Of the garrison. In
making such "a sortie it is of course me-
cessary to leave behind a large force
not only to perform the ordinary du-
ties of the garrison, but to man the lines
and to protect the retreat OF the sally
ing force in the event of its being com.
PEELED to re ire. Yet according to the
French accounts the sortie was made
by 8 or 9 thousand men under the pro-
lection of GU pieces of artillery. a few
day. ago the French said there was no
artillery in Cadiz. In a fuller French
official detail which we have received,
the following is the account gwen OF the
arrangements Of the sortie
1.-The right column, about Two thou
sand strong, passed tho canal by the
fort of st. Petri. Three other columns
debouched by the bridge of suazo; one
consisting of between2 and 3thousand
men, with artillery, took the direction
OF Chiclana; another, consisting Of be-
tween IL and Is hundred men and $50
cavalry, advanced Oh the redoubt Of
Belluno: and another, amounting to
between l2 and Is hundred mea, mar.
ohed on the mill Of Oslo, which was
fortified and occupied by a company OF
sharp.shoo,ers. The fifth column, con.
sisting Of between thousand and IL
hundred mea. left the Caracca to march
on tho redoubt Ruffin. and finally. the
sixth, amounting to upwards OF thou.

GREAT FIRE IN MAINE.

We were shown yesterday (says the
Boston Patriot Of Tuesday last letter
from gentleman in Alma, Maine, to his
ta;her in this city, containing a 6riet ac-
count of destructive fire with which parts
or the towns of WoolwIch. WiscasseL and
Alma, have been ravaged. The fire began
m The FIRST mentioned town on The 80 inst.
and, owing to tbs extreme drought, spread
very last. On the morning OF the 4lh the
wind commenced blowing almost gale,
and by 4 O'Clock in the afternoon, the tlre
had run through the back lots, sweeping
10 its course, houses, barns, cattle, &c.
Al FIVE O'Clock the fire was on the hill
just back of Sbeepscot Bridge, and the in.
hab,lants OF that vicinity were employed
m removing their effects from their houses
over the bridge, having but little hope OF
saving The buildings. About 40 houses
and barnes are stated to have been burned
in Alma The fire has levsiled every thing
back Of WIscasset to the hill.
So rapid and extensive was the contia.

t1ed in confusion; and II is feared that The
loss Of human lives will yet add 10 The
gloom and suAerings occssiuDed by The de-
s,ruction OF buildings, cattle, crops. &c.
Al he time Of closing bis letter, the writer
says should there be rams and no WIND,
they may be txlinguished within week.
The fire has probably ravaeed over an ex-
tent Of at least six or eight miles Of cullIva>
