IMPORTANT FROM CADIZ.

Captain Roberts, arrived at New York from Cadiz, has favoured the Mercantile Advertiser with the following interesting articles:—

CADIZ, July 24.—A privateer called Congress, commanded by a man named Almeida, belonging to Baltimore, under the flag of the Insurgents of South America,—had been off this place for 25 or 30 days, and has made, by report, 24 prizes, the value of which is variously stated from 800,000 to 3,000,000 dollars. In the last five or six days; five more privateers have made their appearance. On the 22d, one of them an hermaphrodite brig attacked a ship bound to this place, and then within sight of the city, and after receiving and giving one fire sheered off. The ship had 3 killed and 6 wounded. Among the killed was a lieut. col. of artillery, a passenger, from Havanna, who received a shot while in the act of putting fire to his gun. It is supposed the privateer lost many persons, as the ship fired a broadside into her as she was in the act of boarding, when she immediately sheered off. There was another ship in sight at the time. There are eight ships of the fleet from Havana now missing,

Mr. Erving, the American Minister, has arrived at Madrid, but has had no interview with the King, as His Majesty has gone to the Baths, about 20 miles distant from Madrid, for the benefit of his health.

On Monday 2000 troops entered the city, and on that night began to impress for the army.— They got 800 men. The troops arrived under sealed orders, to be opened at 12 o'clock on Monday. It is supposed that similar orders have been forwarded to all other parts of the kingdom. There are many conjectures for what purpose they are raising. It is said that the emperor of Austria has declared in favor of Charles the IVth. and that he is determined to put him on the throne of Spain.

There was an impressment of sailors 10 or 15 days ago, when they took from 500 to 600 men.

There is one 74, 2 frigates and one brig cruising off for the privateers.

List of part of the captures made by the Almeida:—A Xebec, with 6000 boxes sugar, from Havana for Cadiz; brig St. Andero, 1600 boxes sugar, from Havana to Cadiz; brig Diamante, 800 boxes do. do. given up, and prisoners put on board; American ship Blooming Rose, detained 5 hours and prisoners put on board;—Catalan ship with 1900 boxes sugar, from Havana to Cadiz; ship San Leona, 3 or 400 boxes sugar, 50 seroons cochineal, and 45,000 dollars; a ship of 500 tons, from Havana to Cadiz, with sugar and specie.
