to Cadiz, where they were received with the
greatest delight.
"The town is IN the highest spirits Deces-
saries and Injuries OF every kind cheaper than
IN Madrid, the French not being able TO iu-
tercept the numberless boats which run into
the harbour day and night, laden with every
species of provisions, and the day before they
left il. vessels had arrived with 10000 qdlN ais
Of wheat. King Ferdinand is very G{et,
amuses himself with flying paper kites from
the top Of his residence, and there is FORUM
ately no danger Of the French giving him an
opportunity.of INDUCING IN any diversion OF
more cruel nature.
While Sir John Doyle End his friends re-
NAMED at Cadiz, bis Majesty's cutter Dwarf
arrived with dispatches for Sir William A.
Court, and he not being there, the cutter was
proceeding 10 st. Lucar, where she was fired
on by French ship of war, and obliged, with
regret to be satisfied with slight apology for
an insult 10 the British flag, which she would
have repaid in kind, had she been any thing
like a match for the aggresser. Sir John
DOYLE gave an invitation for ball TO the la
dies al st. Lucar on board the steam boat,
but the Faccioso Governor would not permit
them to come on board, 10 consequence of their
having sung Constitutional songs the night
before, SO that dancing was at an end. We
have on board, exclusive of Generals QuIoga
and Romay, and suits, a number Of French
and Italian officers. On this, as on every
other occasion, sir John Doyle acted with
that good feeling and generosity which distin-
guish him. At very great loss, he took
several on board, and gives free passage
with all splendid accommodations and luxuries
which this superb vessel affords to some OF
them, and to bis own great Inconvenience.
1t is only Justice to say, that the cause of Con-
stitutional freedom owes very much to him,
as wherever he went, he cheered them and
assisted in their communications in every pos
sible way"
