INTERESTING. Bv the U S. frigate Constellation a friend at Gibraltar has politely communicated to the Editor of tne Norfolk Herald the following Interesting extract of a letter, Whicl 1 he received from Cadiz oy post on the morning ot the I2ni Movember, about an Hour before tne frigate auiied. Cadiz, N'ov i 1 i7. u I give the following from ;i source that cannot be doubted ; about five days since the Russian Ambassador to the Sivmisli court, arrived here frfliaMadrid, and his object is to ci. ct ois vv!1(( js expected here in a short tiuiev'i p ssenJfer in the Russian Beet, now looveofor daily, consisting of six line of battle snips and nine frigates and transports with 600 troops. Such is the fact from authority I Cannot doubt, and the French Consul says he has no reason to doubt it. John Bull here, don't know what to m ike of it. Megociations have been going forward between the Spanish and -Russian ourta for some time : Doubtless pain, for the aid Russia may lend in her colonial tnitdcs, has made over some equivalent in the Americas, but that, is all conjecture. The Spanish authorities are making splendu entertainments for the Russian and) S(JagH' tirst is -iven by tuc 2Iartnc Dcpartnient of tic Isles."

verse on the subject and Whose information was derived from authentic sources, declared that his motions and dispositions were admirably ju licious, ind that Ins troops evinced an invincible courage as well as the exaetest discipline. The valor of his French officers partieularlv is spoken uf in terms of the highest praise. He had passed throufftji the cities of L-'n and Sail L'uisde Ptosi, aiu! was wit In an hundred miles of the capital. From the rapidity of his progress, and his taking uninterrupted possession of two sttch important jests as Leon and HanLuisde Potosi, one of tw inferences are inevitable : either 1 is army is so formidable as to look 1 own all opposition, or the people of tl e ountrv arc extremely well eVsposed to faor his views. A convov of 5,000 000 of deJlar from M extco had been tine at VeraC rui sev eral days when our informant sailed tVom t' e latter place ; apprehensions were entertained that it had fallen into the flbndl of the insurgent! Part of t'c route between the two cities was certainly in their possession, and bands of them frequently appeared within view of the walls of Vera Cruz
