PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 31.
LATEST FROM CADIZ.
Yesterday arrived at this port, the ship Magnet, Capt Myrick, in 31 days from Cadiz. Capt. M. informs, that down to his sailing (July 25th) no events of important nature had occurred. He heard nothing of the reported disaster of general Craufurd's division from which it is presumable the account is entirely untrue. The French continued the siege without any augmentation of force, and made frequent and unsuccessful attempts to throw shells into the city. The allies were equally active in erecting their fortifications. It will be observed by an article under our marine head furnished by capt. M. that on the score of provisions Cadiz is amply supplied.
