Nevertheless they made some resistance in the arsenal at the gate of Triana, at the Cruz del Campo, and in streets of the city ; in all those encounters they lost more than 500 men.

The expres sions at joy with which the inhabitants of this neigh bourhood received the Spanish troops, who delivered them from the barbarous oppression of the enemy, are indescribable.

The whole number of prisoners amounts to 775. “ Nothing can exceed the joy manifested by the inhabitants on the entrance of the Spanish troops into this place. There were continual illuminations, ban quetings, and all the proofs of joy which a loyal people can give. a Among the prisoners, it is worthy to observe, are Villagareia Roxas Ruiz and another officer, who have several times deserted the colours of the coun. try, and who, while they were in the service of the pretended King, conducted themselves in the most infamous manner towards their countrymen." " CADIZ, AUGUST 28. The accounts which have to-day been received from the Capital, and which come down to the *ith August, are or the most pleasing and satisfactory nature :—they all cencur that the greatest order and propriety of conduct reigns amidst the excess of joy with which all hearts abound.
