114 SPAIN. CADIZ, Manen R I,—At length we arc here in a I , perfectly tranquil state. Since the unhappy events of ' the 10th, which spread such great horror among us, we have been in a state of continual fluctuation till the 20th, when the squadron and troops acknow ledged the Constitution, confirrmably to the orders received front the capital. The `2lst was the day chosen fur the Authorities to comply with the same solemn ceremony. We were at the same moment agreeably surprised to see n new Governor arrive within our walls, with troops esteemed for their discipline, and well known to the people of Cadiz, they having previously been lung in garrison there. From that moment the town assumed a new aspect. We have had three days of feasting and illumina tions. In order to tranquillize the inhabitants, the parson who ad interim commands, would not allow a single patrol of soldiers to shew themselves in the streets; he even ordered in the guard that was be-• fl.re his own door, We have still in the hospitals 70 wounded, at first we had no less than 500. The Officers of the present garrison, and those of La Isla, with whom we are in full communication, have given a ball, and I state this as a proof of the spirit that reigns aniong,st them. The firflowing is a copy of a letter addressed by the Captain General of Catalonia to Colonel Qui roga, Chief of tile Constitutional Army in La Isla : " In seeing your Excellency's heroism, who with a handful of men have known how to requre to this glorious nation its patrimony of liberty, during six years usurped by perfidious courtesans, being intent only on their own vile interest, and who by Court favour had been raised from obscurity to ranks of which they were unworthy, I have been unable to withstand the impulse of ackitowleding you a tutelar deity of our country. You belong to history and posterity, as generous as was Leo nidas, and as moderate as Washington; retain in your bands that victorious sword that has saved us all, till our national freedom is consolidated, and you arc ena bled to suspend it, as an illustrious trophy, in the temple of our laws. " This province, at present confided to my care, and which also has raised the cry of redemption, un the loth alch, before the occurrences in the cap►tal were known, arts to you its homage of eternal acknowledgment to you and the noble army that has just gained so brilliant a victory; history will not have to record a greater tri umph. (Signed) " JOSE DE CASTELLAR. " Barcelona, March I I." DISTUREANCES IN THE WORTH. ...-.... Rammer, APaIL 12.—Last night, our Radicals made their lung-threatened rising. They contrived to avoid the lawn. and to ret on to the Huddersfield road, by a cir cuitous route. They ate estimated at from three to five hundred, and started about one o'clock in the morning for Grange Moor, where tlie arrived about six, and ex pected to have been joined by one large body from Huddersfield, and another from Wakefield. In this, how ever, they were disappointed; the Magistrates of these places had taken measures to prevent such a juncion.— After stvying a little time, therefore, in a plantation on the moor, they became spiritless, and began to steal home again as well as they could. They went aimed with pikes, which they threw away when their cause became hope less. la their way out they stopped at Bench Lane, Darton, and Bretton, and by threatenings procured six guns. The town has for some days been ender great agitation, expecting some movement, without being able to ascertain whither it was to be directed. No mischief is done." " LEEDS, APRIL 12.—1 am very sorry to give you an alarming account of the state of the country round Hud dersfield. I attended the market there yesterday. This morning I was disturbed by the noise and din of war, at five o'clock. The Yeomanry Cavalry and Infantry were promptly under arms, and every avenue to the square war blocked up by waggons, carts, 6,:e. [he inhabitants, under the direction of the Magistracy, were soon ready to receive the attack of a large force of Radicals which were assembled at Grange Moor, with pikes, muskets. forks, flags, and a drum and fife, in order to attack the town of Hodderfield. 'fbeir intention was happily frus trated by the precaution taken, The 6th regiment made a forced march, and reached Huddersfield from Halifax in a short time; they entered the town about. eleven. All the shops were closed, and business of course suspended. A cart load of pikes, guns, forks, and ammunition were taken, with one flag and eleven prisoners, whom I saw brought in. I left Hudderstield at half past three, and it was then reported an express had arrived, stating, that the Radicals were re-assembling at Grange Moor. I 110 not believe they dare. Their force is large, and hearts good ; but they have no leaders. Report says, they begin here to-morrow." Extract of a letter from Leeds, dated April 11 ' " I have just learnt that a meeting of the teadiug Radicals took place at their Union Room, in this town, last night, and that they burnt all their hooks and papers, to pre. vent their falling into the hands of the Magistrates, being apprehensive of a visit from the Police. Some degree or alarm sod uneasiness was felt this day by the snore weak and credulous part of the population of this place, a report hissing got into circolation that the Itadis eels and Members of the different Ulnini Societies intereled to strike work. and parade the streets. No such occur rence has, however, taken place; and np to this hour (II P.M.) all remains perfectly tranquil. ',Cheri was, however, a vast assemblage of the lower orders in Migrate, this afternoon, to a knew the arrival of the coati, 110111 Ilud. dersfieb), on the lop of which were chained three of the deluded men charged aiuh manufacturing pikes, and br ier concerned in the late disturbance there. The coach was guar iled by a detachment of the Ath Di mewing. On their arrival here, they wete shifted to the Yurk coach, and set uff for the castle, chained as before, under the THE NATIONAL REGISTER. escort of a AVljCatir, corporal, and eight privates, from the atii dragons's, stationed in this town. They are, I ant informed, committed tor high treason. They appeared most wretched lookmg, half famished objects ; but were loudly c;terred by the populace, who kept calling to them to keep isp their spirits. The soldiers, on the other harlot, were abseiled with the most opprobrious execrations and epithets. It was much feared, at one time, that the crowd would 110%e proceeded to open arts of violence against the troops; but, happily, that did not take place." FURTIIER DISTURBANCES IN SCOTLAND.

FOR PROPAGATING CHRISTIAN KNOWLEDGE IN SCOTLAND The London Anniversary Festival of this Society was celebrated on Thursday, at the Albion, Ahlersgate-street, by many of the natives and friends of Scotland. The Duke of Sussex was in the Chair, supported by Sir W. Grant, the late Master of the Rolls, (whom we are happy to see in apparently excellent health), and the Lord Mayor. Many most respectable Members of the Clergy of the Church of Scotland, who form the Dim tation to present an Address from that respected hotly to the King, were also present. At six o'clock the company sat down to an excellem dinner. After the usual unuis, The Royal Chairman rose to propose the toast— " Prosperity to the Society," which he preaced by some romarks on tile nature and origin of the Inst.tution. It was formed soon after the Union of the two Kingdoms, Ly some benevolent individuals, and so early as 17(i9, received a signal mark of Royal favour, in a patent of in corporation from Queen Anne. At first, tile efforts oI the Society were confined merely to literary and religious instruction, but in the reign of George 11. by a new iir" charter, the company was enabled to e mend its endea vours in instruction in the useful arts, and thus, at pre sent, industry and elementary instruction in learning were enjoined, as they should be, to reader there not only innocent, hut most useful. In this mariner, there were nearly 20,000 children taught in the various schools —but the demands upon the Institution were such as it was unable to answer. lie trusted, therefore, that an appeal to the present company would be attended with success, for there was no native of Scotland who was not proud of the country to which he belonged, and he could do no better than leave to their own Scottish hearts, to do what they thought fit to promote an insti tution so beneficial to their native land. (Applause.) His Royal Highness, in toe course of his speech, made a feeling allusion to the support the Society had received from the activity and zeal of his late illustrious Brother, and trusted that his memory would - be found to be as beneficial as his presence would undoubtedly have been. The toast was drank with loud applause. " The memory of the late l)uke of Kent and St►a theni' was drank in respectful silence. "The Kirk of Seotlaud" having been drank, Dr. Macfarlane returned thanks, and said, that he took a peculiar interest in the affairs of the institution, as his father, 60 years ago, had made a minute survey of the Highlands, on the memoranda of which the lush union still proceeded; and as he himself, in 30 years attention to the duties of his profession, had had parti colar opportunities of observing the usefulness of the society, he assured the company that his brethren in Scotland warmly felt the as►istance which they had derived from the London branch of the soci.ty. The Royal Chairman proposed " The City of London and its Chief Magistrate," which he prefaced by an eulogiuni on the encouragement which the inhabitants of this vast Al etropolis a&rded to every charity, however remote the objects of it might be from their own imme diate connections. The Lord Mayor returned thanks, and observed, that as the City of London, in its commercial pros perity and general happiness, af)•orded a striking proof of the bendicent etieets of the ehristim religion, he should always feel it his duty to do his utmost to pro mote those principles. • On the health of the Vice Presidents being drank, Sir W. Grant, one of them, returned thanks in a warm and at med manner, and assured the company, that as long as his assistance was worth acceptance it should be at the disposal of the Society. Liberal subscriptions were announced. Many songs were given by Messrs. Pyne, Taylor, Broadhurst, and other professional gentlemen, and the company continued together to a late hour.
