THE WAR IN SPAIN. The news from Cadiz was down to the 29th of Feb. The means feem to he preparing to caufe the fiege ot that important

city to attraft the regards of all the world. The French fiitt made their appearance on hills oppofite Cadiz on the 5th Feb. The duke of Alberquerque arrived the day befo'e them with 1 1 ,000 troops and has great credit for the maftcrly maneuvering of his little armv, fo s to avoid the enemy, altho' they had 12,000 cavalry. The britilh ad miral Purvis, has four tail of the li e at Ctdiz, the AtUs, Triumph, Invincible and Z d.ius ; and the Spinifh hVet confttts of 1 fn! of the line an J four frigates. The Irrrnrh were augmenting their ftrength round the city, and the gmifou for its cW f.nce was daily receiving reinforcements ; it c. infilled of Britilh, pniih, and Portuguefe amounting to 20,000. On the evenins of the 24th the Spaniards took a fix gun battery, at the ferry, oppofite San Pedio, on the Ira, and bayonettcd the French. The duke Alb .querque ulkcd of a tally. The fhippmg continually deftroyed thr Fr nch works and received fome damag- in X-iz'it turn. On tfie 26th deputies were fent from king Jofeph to the junta atCtdiz, to p fuade to give up; but their papers were burnt by a common hangman. The French cnt-rd Malaga on the 5th February. On the I4ih a body enterrd Algeziras, took iom- plunder and went off. The Dritifli at Gibraltar have deftroyed Spanifh lines near that plare, to prevent their being occupied by thr Frrnrh.
