We can state that a Spanish officer has just reached this city, from Cadiz, via Havanna, who says that news of the cession of the Floridas to the U. S. was made known in Cadiz the day before he sailed, and that it had been published in a Madrid Royal Gazette. In confirmation, we further learn, that a letter has been received by the same officer, from Cadiz, to a gentleman of this city, which states that the Floridas are ceded, and the consideration five millions of dollars. We think there is little doubt of a cession being made.
