The preparations for the great

without relaxation, and from the

troops, it would seem that the

at Portsmouth, in the Downs, and
at Harwich—by which means a
junction of ihe whole may be spec
dily effected ; and as the trans

The ship Golden Age, captain

Cadiz, which she left the Ist of Ju

Mr. I'eake, a passenger, polite
ly favortd us with a file of the
Spanish government Gazette, to
the 26th June j and the following
verbal articles -
’1 hat the French were concen
trating their force in the vicinity
of Madrid.
That the army of general Blake
had advanced from Tarragona,
defeated the French, entered Ar.
regon, but in an attempt to recover
Saragossa, was attacked by the
French, beaten, and compelled to
retire.
That marshal Victor had eva
cnatrd Kstramadura ; was follow
ed by Cucsta, who had 70,000
men under him ; and the English
ai my under general Wellesley was
at Badajox-
Thai the Spanish army of La
Mancha had advanced to within
10 h.agues ot Madrid.
i hat the enthusiasm of the
Spanish patriots had its prime
height ■, that no despondency
existed cf the success of their
cause ; that the decrees of the
Supreme Junta were universally
respected and obeyed; that the
gicai body of the people appeared
iesoived to die rather Uleu submit
to French dominion ; and that the
English and Americans were high
ly respected.
Tnat discipline and subordina- !
tion were niakiug soldiers of the
Spaniards ; and there were several
thousand young volunteers from
the Canaries who were in daily
drill in Cadiz, for the field.
Tire English have a small squa
dron in Cadiz ; and tire French
prizes were equipped for sea.
The markets generally, at Ca- j
diz, were dull—flour at lo dol
lars nominally * rice at 5 dollars 5q
cents, the duty on which recently
had been abolished by the Junta.
A* latge bodies of troops were to
be raised, it was expected that the
markets tor provisous would be
better.
