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.

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