LONDON, February 17. Mr. Cevallos has arrived in London, and the accounts he has communicated tend to confirm the opinion entertained by fome people in this country, of the popular rntbufir.fm in the fcuth of Spain in favour of th Bourbon dynafty. To provide againfi difafter, we are hr.ppy to learn that meafiires are taken to fecure ths fleet in the port of Cadiz, from the calamity which hs unhappily befallen that in the harbour of Ferrol, where ten line of battle fhips and five frigates are faid to be in the hands of the enemy. Many perfone have been arretted in Cadiz and great exertions are making to improve the fortification of that place. London, F:b.

Opinions are vaiiousas to the dedication of this fleet. Of courfe all is mere con-j-cluie, and every one ..lfigns to it any object that appears prohable or pjflible. 5one have font them ro Ferrol, to fecure the Spanifh fleet in that harbour, whence they are to attempt a dt fcent upon lielar d ; fome have defpatched th. in to the Weft Indieas ; othets fo South America, and o' thers to the Mediterranean It is reported that mr.
