A private letter from Cadiz, received at Paris, dated in August, says, "We think it our duty to inform you for your guidance in your commercial regulations, that a formidable expedition will without delay be sent from Europe to make an attack on Buenos Ayres; and, what will appear to you still more remarkable, that this expedition is combined, organized, and will act in concert with other powers, who have engaged to support Spain in the present contest. This armament will set sail either in September or November." Another account observes that the expedition cannot leave Cadiz for some time from the want of supplies and ammunition.
