During the incertitude of the government relative to the hostile disposition which the United States have unceasingly manifested towards Spain, it appears certain that the fine squadron which is equipping in the port of Cadiz (composed of the ships ceded to us by Russia, and such of our own as have escaped destruction) will not sail for South America until the government can determine the footing of our relations with North America. This squadron consists of eight ships of the line, several large frigates, and a proportionate number of corvettes. The crews are complete. The force is wholly armed and equipped, and commanded by the best naval officers of the country.
