GEN. MOREAU.
By the arrival at Wilmington, (N. C.)
on the 9th inst. of the brig Orange, Capt.
Pelham, from Cadiz, we learn, that Gen.
MOREAU and family arrived at that place
about the 8th of August, in a small Spanish
vessel from Gibraltar. The Governor of
the province of Andalusia, who expected
his coming, directed the Health-Office to
send a boat to the vessel immediately, for
the General and his family. He also or-
dered the gates of Cadiz to be opened at
12 o'clock at night, and went himself to
conduct them into the city. The gates of
Cadiz were never before opened after dark,
which is there considered the greatest
mark of respect that can be shewn to the
most exalted individual. The General
was waited upon and welcomed by all the
distinguished personages, both French and
Spanish, in the city.
