On the 2\st of February, King Louis

England. There is a considerable
party in Cadiz in favor of the French
but it is almost certain death even to
speak the French language there.
Being well provisioned, it was ex
pected that Cadiz would hold out for
a long time against its besiegers.
A gale commenced at Cadiz on
the 4th of March, and continued 5
days, on the east side of the- Bay,
which is in possession of the* French,
in which a large number of Ameri
can and other vessels were wrecked.
We further learn, that an Ameri
can gentleman arrived in Cadiz about
the 20th of March in 5 days passage

French army had not entered Portu
gal, and that Lord Wellington, with
the British and Portuguese armies
was on the frontiers of Portugal.

The mails may be carried with
some increased expedition from this
place to Raleigh the seat of govern
ment of North Carolina, by u suing
the Orleans post road to tin suin'', of
the river Roanoke and going rona
thence to lfal igh, at a probable to-
creased expence of seven hundred
dollars per aunum, but the benefit a-,
rising from this increased expedition'
will be very inconsiderable.
The mail which is now eight and
tin halfdays in going from this place
to Columbia, the seat of government
in South Carolina, may he sent there
in five days by pursuing the Orleans
road to the south of Salisbury, North
Carolina, and going from thence to
Columbia, at a probable increased
expence of 800 dollars per annum.
The mail is now carried to Mil-
ledgeville the seat of government ire
Georgia, on the main post road in 15
days, and in 8-12 days by the Or
leans road ; and it may be sent to
JNIilledgeville in 7 1-2 days* with a
probable increased expence of 200
dollars per anuum.
The sum of eleven thousand four
