LATEST FROM CADIZ.

The brig Eliza and Mary Wood, Terwilliger, arrived here yesterday, in 32 days from Cadiz.

Capt. Terwilliger and a Mr. Milvain inform, that the report lately received of the battle fought by general Graham and the French is true in all its circumstances. Another expedition since then was attempted, but failed, owing it is said, to the treachery of pilots who were entrusted with the direction. A very general jealousy exists between the Spaniards and the British, which appears to defeat every exertion of the English and at times likely to be attended with serious consequences. General La Pena was to be tried by a court martial. The French about (7000) still retain their post and frequently throw shells into the town, which does sometimes damage. When the Eliza and Mary left Cadiz, it was said another expedition was intended under general Blake. Reports stated that in all the skirmishes to the eastward the Spaniards were generally successful.

On the 28th, 29th and 30th, the brig being then at Gibraltar, a dreadful gale from E. N. E. to E. S. E. was experienced. Captain T. was obliged to get under way, but before he got out, he saw from ten to fifteen vessels driving, which he supposes must have gone ashore : that evening got off the port of Cadiz, next morning went in and saw the whole beach lined with vessels, and those that rode out the gale were more or less injured. Many vessels were driven ashore on the French side of the bay, and possessed of by them. About the last of March, the schr. Alleghany, of Philadelphia, a ship of do. and 2 or 3 more American vessels were taken and carried into St. Lucar by the French privateers; three or four of the captains made their escape and got over to Cadiz, complaining that they had been very badly treated by the French. No sale for flour at Gibraltar, Cadiz or Lisbon. Vessels were daily arriving at Cadiz, from Lisbon--at Cadiz every store house and convent were full, insomuch that an order of government had been issued to prevent the landing of any more for some days. Great quantities laid on the wharves for a length of time for want of storage. It was supposed when they sailed that there were from 30 to 40,000 barrels afloat in the bay.
