Declaration of Wat Spam. KkwYork. June 16 The Spanish letter of marque ship Tarantula arrived here yesterday, in 41 days from Cadiz We learn that she sail ed on the 5th of May that a formal DECLARATION OF WAR against Trance had been published; that the Spanish prirateerrs were liming out with all expedition and that one French merchant vessel had been captured off Algesiras previous to the sailing of this vessel. The following interesting letter from Cadiz, dated April 25th, was received in this city, by the schooner Little William. It is from the same gentleman who wrote rather despondingly a few days previous to date of this. We know him personally, and place the utmost confidence in his ntatcments Aerc. Adv. "Cadiz, April 25 "The French as ou know, entered Spain on the 7ih, and without meeting any opposition proceeded as far as Vittoria. The advanced guard is composed of discon tented Spaniards, which the French allow very much against their own interest, as the spirit of vengeance which kads them on has created a re action, and those who otherwise were disposed to' receive the French tranquility, are retiring from thvir home s, and u siting themselves to Ballasteros by thousands. Almost all the local militia of the Provinces, have already abandoned their houses, and are collecting where their services may be useful. In the towns the French have passed, some disorders have been committed, as much from the disappointment of not meeting the welcome TccKfitian they expected as from any other cauv. The Constitutional General O'Donnell is doing wonders we perceive his energy in every act he performs The last accounts we have of him, is that of his having or ganized an army of about 15,000 men, with which he will soon begin to operate, and I believe one of his first steps will be to secure the passes of somo sierra, about twelve leagues north of Madrid. All the Militia of Madrid, amounting nearly to 8000 men, hiv Tolunteered on masse to join the army of reserve in Andalusia With such Clements in a people, what should be their reward? Certainly not oppression, "The government has not yet signed a declaration of war. We expect it every moment. I suppose great numbers of privateers will be fitted out from the United States If they come htre they will get commissions without any difficulty, the grand object being to do the French ail the mischief possible. "It is reported, and I believe correctly, that Cadiz will shortly be put under martial law, to be prepared for the worst, and that a Governor will be appointed who will unite in his own person the civil and military authority. If he be a man of nerve, he will do much good." SPANISH DECLARATION OF WAR. Seville Gazette, April 26. The King has issued the following decree: "Whereas the Spanish territory has been invaded by the troops of the French government, without a previous declaration of War. or any of those formalities established by custom; and whereas that act of aggression cannot be considered in any other light than as a violation of the Law of Nations, and an open rupture of hostilities a gainst Spain, it becomes my duty, therefore, to repel force by force, to defend the integrity of the states of the monarchy, and chastise the audacity of its enemies: Now, after having consulted the Council of State, agreeably to the 236 n article of the political constitution, 1 DO DECLRE WAR AGAINST FRANCE, and the same is hereby declared, and in censfquence whereof, I order 8c 'command tne competent authorities to commit hostilities upon her both by Bra and land, to annoy her by every act of aggression in their power, authorized by the law of nations. I also direct that this my declaration of war be published with the solemnity.

'You are hereby informed of tho cause for its fulfilment, and will cavsc it to be printed, published, end circulated. At the Palace of the Alcasar at Seville, the 23d of Airil, 1823. "THE KING.
