FROM CADIZ. We learn from captain Packard, of the brig Water, arrived yesterday from Cadiz, that the king and royal family were hourly expected at Seville; and when coming out he heard a firing in that direction, which was supposed to be the signal of their arrival. Accounts of hostilities having commenced were daily expected. News was received that 15,000 French troops had entered Spain. A Spanish 74 had just arrived at Cadiz, last from Madeira, where she had been obliged to cut her cables and put to sea, in consequence of a heavy gale. Mr. Hall, the American Consul at Cadiz, died on the 18th March, of inflammation of the brain after an illness of three days. Captain Packard, is the bearer of dispatches from Mr Forsyth, our Ambassador at the Court of Spain. Private letters by this arrival, express doubts as to entry of French troops into Spain at all; but preparations to meet the worst were progressing.
