The Editor, in the Argus of Tuef dav last gave a lilt of veflels, French ?nd SpaniQi, that failed from Cadiz on the cth of August. This caufcd.much conversation, and many bets, we are tO U f were laid on the strength. of it. The arrival of the Ihip Nancy, capt. johnfon, on Saturday, in 42 days from Lilbon, not only confirms this account, but brings accounts also, that'war be tween Spain and England had actually taken place —and that Portugal had marched 50,000 troops to her frontiers, fearing inroads by the French, who are to march through Spain—See the two following letters : Ext rad of a letter from, an American gentleman in Ltjlox, to his brother M this city, dated the 1 \th Aug. brought ly the Nancy, arrived on Saturday Lji. “ Everfince I have been here there has been the greatest appearance of a rupture between Spain and England : It has at length taken place : Spain has Jhut its ports against England, and it was reported yelterday, and currently believed, thara part of the Smnifh fleet had failed in conjun&ion with"-the French; their deftinatioa.’’uykno;Vn. The Portuguese are in expectation of a viflt from the French, through the ter ritories of Spain; in conference the greatest exertions are making to raifean army. Fifty thousand are to march to their frontiers by the ift of October.” Extrad of another-letter, from a merchant in Lijlon, to his friend in this city, dated the l ith Augufl. “ The political situation of Portu gal becomes very critical, since it is no longer to be doubted.that war will im inedi?tly take place between England and Spain.

It is laid, also, that the French have de manded a paflage through Spain for fifty theufand troops nominally ddtined a gainst Gibraltar.” We have seen other fetters from Lis bon, by this arrival, the contents of which are nearly the fame. One of them however fays, that trade with Holland goes the fame as if no declara tion had been made. The Spanish war would seem to be merely an opinion, in ccnfequence of the failing cf the Cadiz fleet. PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 19.
