raltar. We arrived at llavre Oh the 4th. land
ed Gen. LAFAYETTE and suit the next day,
and Immediately after sailed for Gibraltar We
had scarcely cleared Cape La Houge before we
took violent gale from the westward, and were
SO fortunate as TO arrive here in safety.--We
will probably remain long enough to reit our
ship; when we shall again attempt to reach Glib
