Extract of a Letter from Cadiz, dated the 30th of November.

"By a Danish Ship arrived here from the Cape, we have the disagreeable News of the Reduction of the Havannah, with the Loss likewise of a great Number of Men, which has caused no small Murmuring here, as almost every House in this City is concerned more or less in the Trade to that Island, and Places connected with it, which it is feared will make it be attended with bad Consequences, more particularly as our Trade is entirely stopped thereby: but we trust to Providence for his Assistance in this our very calamitous Situation, and are in great Hopes either shortly to hear of an Accommodation between the two contending Powers, or else that this Loss will be made up to us by the total Reduction of all Portugal."
