IMPORTANT FROM CADIZ. Captain Roberts, from Cadiz, has favored us with the following interesting article: Cadiz, July 34. A privateer called the Congress, commanded have by a man named Aimeda, belongi ng to Baltimore, under the flag of die insurgents ot South Ameri ca has been off this place tor twenty-five or thirty days, and has made, by report, twenty- fn ir crizes, the value ot which is variously stat ed from 800,000 to 3,000,000 dollars. In the last live or six days, five more' privateers have made their appearance. On the 22d, one ot them an hermophrodite brig, attacked a ship bound to this place, and then within sight of the city, and after receiving and giving one fire sheered off. The ship had three killed and six wounded. Among the killed was a lieutenant colonel of artillery, a passenger from Havana, who received a shot while in the act of putting fire to his gun. it is supposed the privateer lost many persons, as the snip fired a broadside into her as she was in the act jof boarding when she immediately sheered off. There was anotiier in sigot at that time. There are eight .

PRO OTOR: ship ships of the fleet from Havana now missing Mr. Erving the American minister, has arriv- edat Madrid, but has had no interview with the king, as his majesty has gone to the Baths, about 20 miles distant fromMadrid, for the benefit, of his health. On Montlay 2,000 troops entered the city, and on that night began to impress for the army. They got 800 men. The troops arrived under sealed orders, to be opened at 12 o’clock on Monday. It is supposed that similar orders have been forwarded to all other parts of the kingdom. There are many conjectures for what purpose ths troops are raising. It is said that the emperor of Austria has declared in favor of Charles the IVth, and that he has determined to put him on the throne of Spain. There was an impressment for sailors 10 or 15 days ago, when they took from 300 to 500 men.

The following is an extrac> of a letter from St. Thomas’s, dated the 8th inst. “General Bolivar, accompanied by three offi cers, arrived here yesterday, in disgrace. Re port states, that lie had started, and ieft his army behind, when attacked at Ocuniara, by general Morales, and went to Bonair; but on bearing that sir Gregor McGregor, who had captured Vittoria, had come up with seven hundred men, defeated Morales, and again got possession of Ocumafia, he returned, but would not be receiv ed by his troops. Morales ^desperately wound ed, and obliged to retreat to Port-Cabeilo. “Subletee has had an action with some of the royal troops, and was compelled to retreat to wards Cumana, where general Marino is in force. “Briones fiett have sailed, supposed for wind ward, as he is quite disgusted with the conduct cf Bolivar.” TO THE EDITOR—dated “New-York, 7th September, 1816. “The general court-martial was organized on the 2d inst. conformably with the order from the department of war, and on the 5th proceeded to the investigation. The first charge, with its specifications, were objected to by the judge ad vocate, on the g *»• nd of limitation; this" evil was, however, remedied by the accused havin'* waved every advantage guaranteed to him bv that article of war, and expressed his most anxi ous solicitations for an enquiry into the pharge. but the court decided they were not competent to take cognizance of it—hence it was quashed. As yetlittle has been done; no witness has been examined but lieutenant-colonel Trimble, the prosecutor—and his .testimony goes, most un equivocally, to acquit thegeneral of every fact set forth in the charges, so far as he has been ex amined—and I entertain very little doubt, but the testimony, on the part of the prosecution, ■"ill make it unnecessary for the general to in troduce any of his. How will this trial read, w uen recorded with the event and history of 0u rlate war? There is censure and condemna tion due some where, and I feel a 4 pride i n fi^v- ln git in my power to state, that the public mind •appears to know very well where to fix it . le re, there is but one opinion—that he has been jaal treated.

You accuse me pf Misapplying words when it suits my views, or in other lan guage—of lying. Yoil charge me, likewise, with being the Mayor’s right-hand man; of using in decent and scurrilous terms in editorial remarks; and withal of being a blockhead. But, dear doctor, can you make g8od ajiy one of these charges? At what time, or.on what occasion, I ever falsified to further my own pur poses? You say it is well known that I have; but what is George V. Proctor’s word without collateral facts? You style me Mr. Charlton’s, aid-de-camp, or as you meant to say, sycophant. What, sir, could induce me to become such?— There is no favor at his disposal that could pre vail on the most humble citizen in Savannah to swerve from honor. Whjit then, sir, could lead me so far from the course of rectitude? -Indecent and scurrilous language! This is whatyou please to style plain English;T>ut at the same ihstant you forget that, the lam made use of in your famous pieces is not that of a gentleman.

Blockhead or thick scull! This comes with a peculiar bad grace from yoq, sir The Professors of Edinburgh College gave you, z very high character for genius and perseve rance, and time has verified their predictions As a physician, you now stand unrivalled in this place! and as a man of general information, who is your equal! and where is the man who would violate those laws by which the liberties of the country are guarded for a paltry compen sation, sooner than George V. Proctor. Have you, sir, any remembrance of your smallpox bill? Not even possessed of common shame, you con tinued to sit inCouncil afterbeing elected health officer, and in contravention of an express law you advocated and voted on the different Bill; awarding you a* compensation. Out of three thousand five hundred and ninety five dollars, the amount of small pox expenditure you, sir, receiv ed upwards of ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS- Your conduct relative to quarantine regulations will long be remembered by the mercantile inter est of this city. At that time George V. Proctor, made himself notorious. Love of money proba bly was the cause of your asserting in my pre sence, which you dare not deny, and which was uttered in presence of Mr. Thomas N. Morel, and Mr. Samuel G. Bunch, that you “thought that some of the committees of council locket- ted the public funds.” My reply to you was, “that I did not believe it; but, if you really knew it to be the case, your duty, as an aider- man, was to expose the offenders?” Your an swer was, that you “were not present at the time the bills passed.” I called on one of the aldermen, and informed him of your declara tions. This is the cause of your hostility to wards me; but your anathemas are more accep table than your blessings. Your attack on the mayor, sir, is unmanly and ungenerous; but the gossamer texture is easily seen through. The election for state representatives is approaching and by attempting to traduce his character you hope to be elected senator. These are your views, and they are the views of a dunce and ; daemon in malice. I have arrived at the closing part of my ad dress. In your last pasquil you declare that “ a Freeholder” and “A Friend to a Freeholder,’ are two distinct persons: and if I am rightly informed you, pledged your word on Friday last, to a gentleman, that you were not the author of “A Freeholder”—these are instances of your ve racity. But the finishing Stroke!—You intimate ifper- sonal satisfaction is required it shall be given.— Would you, arch-hypocrite, have,me fight a sick man in his bed?

They have given me sat isfaction sufficient; but I shall not deny you that of a gentleman, wheuever you are able and feel so disposed. I am,,&c. Frederick S. Fell.
