By accounts received on Monday from the Peninsula, there appear strong grounds for believing that all alarm ing insiaraction has arisen in the heart of.Spaiii. IL_ was ascertained in the city early in the day, that the French mail, which usually. .eonveys the Sranisli letters, had brought none from Cadiz, and very few from Seville or Madrid; and that these latter 3plit•drcti all to have beet) opened ; they were confined in central to. the mere deerils of business, and contained scarcely a hint of what was piosi.it , in the interior. This ahsence of all haat 'flattop from Spain, excited a strong, sensation among the merchants connected with that country ; the arrival of a Lisbon mail, hoe/ever, winch sailed on the 150 i, sunphed in some measure the desired tut .rot anon, though the details ate sull imperfect. It is stated in let;vai tram Badajos, of the 12th, that the insurrection broke out on the I 0 among the troops stationed in the neighbourhood of Cadiz, and that their first step was to secure the pct.-on of Caldron), the Comma oder-hi-Chief. The tounher of the Patriots is variously stated ; some leocrs computing them at 16,000, and others at 23,000 men ; th-tie is bole doubt that their force is extremely "formidable. 011 the 2d inst., a large body of them marched to Port St. Mary's, of %hien they took quiet possession; they afterwards ptoceeded the I le oh Si. Lto.l, and by a bold roanellotre succeeded in taking Cisneros, the Minister of Marine, into custody. This Minister, it will be recollected, repaired to the Isle of 'it. Leon uninediately on his noi && i . ation, to superintend the fining oat of the grand expedition- . The following day was empluved in an attack on the TMeadero, or natal arsenal of St. Leon, which, according to some accounts, a ter a slight resistance, fell into their haunts. During t!):.sc three clays, it is not stated that any measures were adopted by the authorities at Cadiz to check the ;irogress of this alarming revolt. On the 4th, the Patriots attempted Cadiz itself, with about 21000 men ; but the Governor, with a force of 1,500, of whom 230 were soldiers, and the ren.aiiitler workmen. received them so warmly, that they fell back with the loss of seven- men killed, Smile accounts Mate, that this repulse was effected by the blowing up of the bridge.— The next day, which is the latest intelligence from Cadiz, the Patriots renewed their attempt with a force o f 5,000 men, the issue of which is not certain, though one account states it to have been successful. At the same time, so complete a state of organization had the insieree.ion assumed, that the Patriots were enabled to sold ott another detachment, also consisting of 6,000 wen, tor Seville, to order to attack that city, and to secure to their party the reeinietit of Royal Carabincers, who were siropuserr to be imbued with the Same spirit of disallectem to the Government. By the way of Puhictal, intelligence from Seville to the Silt has Wei) received; it dues not.appear from them that the Pandits have actually entered the city, bin were within five leagues' march, and were expected next day : no oppo sition was contemplated. It is remarkable, however, that there are tenets front Seville wriich state, that a provisional junta has! been formed, and the constittitiou proclaimed ; from whence it might be inferred, that the movements from Cattle with Madrid is pletely cut off, asset it seems probahle that the S i ianisli troverti• rent, It eh said to he aware of the iintirrectiodar) spirit that existed attiring the troops, is ignorant of the couseottences that have resulted from at. An extraor dinary courier from Cadiz to the Capital was intercepted on the 3d, and, because he resisted, put to death.

DEATH op 11111 ROI:AL lIIGIINESS Tilg DUldt VP KENT. With deep regret we announce to the public the death of this Prince. T.te intelligence ortived in town oil Monday forenoon, that his Royal (lignites, expired at ten o'clock an Sunday morning. His complaint was au • inAamation of the lungs, so violent as to b.itild the, utmost eftots of medical skill. The bleeditiz anti other • remedies metvoiibible resorted to on such occasions are ealculab.d to reduce the strength of the patient, if they do not remove the disorder. In the present instance . , unfinnitutele, they failed of giving relief; and the ro. bust frame td his Royal Highne:A slink into compl ete exhausbon, front %%Melt the re•mlirres of art, and the powers of a naturally !hie constitutiml, were alike unable to restore hint. liis Royal Higlicess was tall in stature, of a manly and noble presence. His manners were affable, con descending, dignified, and engaging; his conversation animated his information varied and copings; his m e mory exact and retentive; his intellectual poster quick, ptron,t, and masculine; he resembled the King in • many of his tastes and propensities; he was an early riser, a close e-ot 11111 l ist of his l'itie ; teinperale in eating . ; indifferent to wine, though a lover of society ; awl heed less of alight indisposhom, from confi.lence in the gene ra: strength of his constitution; a kind limner, a pulse. tualand courteous correspondent, a steady friend, and att :iffi•etionate brother. We extract the following from a biographical s ket c h bf his Itoyal flightless, published by his friends when a recent application was made to Parliament for permis sion to relieve his embarrassments, by disposing of an estate he owned iu the neighbourhood of the capital•by' lottery "•Edward, Duke of Kent and Strathern, fourth son of George 111., %I:l , thorn on the 2d IS:rweitiber, 1767 At . eighteen y, ars of age he was sent to Germany by his Majesty's command, and resided successively at Lunen lung and !Hanover until he. had al t completed his 20th year. During this period his " whole isteotne consisted of an allowance of !mall. per at 00000 in, of which his Governor had site sole disposal, except of floe guitiel and a half per week allowed to his Royal Highness for pocket-money. llis Royal Highness then passed two years more at Geneva, without any further increase of ineotiv.!. lie wit an enthusiast to the profession of a . snldit , for which he was destined from early life. IVith the reek of Colonel, he commanded the 7th Fozileers. which formed part of the Garrison of Gthialtar under Gen. (Mari, in 1790 and 1791, some time before the break in 2 toot of the revolutinaary war with France. In.. that subordiliate militaty station, his Royat Highness soon heraine re itarkable for the diligent discharge of his o wn duties, and fur exacting a similar punctuality front every man aud elficer nudes hint. I its attention to the appearance and discipline of his regiment was alto g ether exemplary and tuirethittiog; but as he could not inspire • all the military world with au equal sense of the solid ealue.of those dry, homely, and uninteresting chilies which ought to employ so large a portion of military lite, or those mina/ice of the service, of which, nevertheless, when considered in the a , Jl,regate, the correct perfor mance adds so much to the precision and efficiency of a military machine, the Colonel of the idi Fozilcera IV,Is for some time, an unpopular Commander. Every mili tary Milli Is n o t capable of discovering in the best-coo ceised order .or the wisest rule laid down fur his obsery ince by superior authority, the direct relation of the lowans to the end. It may not be thought, at first sight, or serious importance, that an officer's Coal, or boot, or pantaloon, should be of a specific fashion, height, or colour; but Jet us consider that the excellt nee of an army consists in its susceptibility of collective and , uniforni imptilses, and we must admit that uniformity in s roJ fi et oceopations, and objects of attention—nay. in the form of hats or epaulets, will contribute to enforce upon conlnlnn minds the main • principle of harmony inaction. As harmony ought to be the characteristic of every military movement, in the spring of it• at be subordist Mon., The Duke of Kent laboured to communicate these two great 'towers to the troop.. for whose qualities he was responsible. lie fre quently issuesi orders on points which Acre of inferior moment, and enforced then l sly, because he had issued them. By this system, by a conseietwous fulfil- . mein of his ow a duties, a firm requisition of the like propriety from others, and en anxious interposition on . behalf of every indiiidual. %slut had wrongs to be re dressed or claims to he recommended, he at length , carried the discipline of his resimein to the highest . pitch, and established for himself the most reapeciable military reputation; hut, in his pros fess towards this end, he encetentered much detraction, considerable oh. . Imply, aunt some resistance. (' plaints were made, winch injured his character at home, and institutes were prepared by site troops, which ilivatened Is a alithoety, , and more than mice endangered his person. Front Gibraltar his Ito)al Highness was remin tat to Culada in 1791, thence to Halifax, in Nova Scotia, where, as Commander of the forces, he acquired universal esteem for the justice and integrity of his demeanour. I hiring t his s e rvice in-British Allier ICA. lie received orders to sail lor the West lollies, and join in she attack on the French ;italic's, under Sir Charles Grey. this expi-dition the iiispettions bras ery of his Royal,' Ili t stiness was manifested as St. Lucie, with ton little emisideralion for his owls safety, and too mock disregard . for she enemy . % position.
