Latest from Spain The brig Rebecca from Cadiz, although she left that port on the 24th of August, four days later than the Spanish frigate, brings nothing new, printed or verbal. The captain had not heard of the battle which was said in the Salem papers to have been fought about the 10th of August, near Madrid, between the Anglo-Spanish army and the French, in which the former were said to be defeated with great slaughter. Letters of the 24th of August represent the affairs of the Patriots as in a favourable state and that the present form of Government was about to be changed to a Regency.
