An arrival in Baltimore from Cadiz brings accounts to the 6th November. The Hon. Mr. Nelson, our Minister to the Court of Madrid, had arrived there from Gibraltar, and would proceed to the Capital. The French garrison of Cadiz was reduced to about 3000, a great part of the French squadron in port of two sail of the line, four frigates, and several smaller vessels; and the Spanish men of war, generally were stripped and laid up in ordinary. On the 5th November, a French frigate sailed from Cadiz for Cuba, with a new Spanish Governor-General, to supersede Don Vives, who was ordered to return to Spain in the frigate. The French were said to be putting three years' naval stores in the City of Cadiz. The U. States frigate Constitution, Com. Jones, and the schooner Nonesuch, were at Cadiz, and would shortly return to Gibraltar.
