The letters and papers from the former plate are to the 3i instant. The feeble and inefficient Junta is entirely dissolved, and the Regency established and in lull activity at Cadiz. We trust that we will soon see the superiority of this mew Go►ernaoent, in the signer. energy, and wisdom of its councils. The Cadiz Papers stale, that General Smits-rum t had been attacked by a Spanish detachment and &fest, 4 with great lues, carrying with him into Malaga no more than be tween 2 and 3000 men—that after he had returned to Malaga, the Spanish General Fume followed him, and summoned hins to capitulate, which he did with the remains of his corps. We trust this account •ill prove to Tbe avowed intentions of linisters. and the pre parations made by the Friends of Sir Fn*>rcts Bu a *err. left no doubt that his release from the Tower would take place yesterday. TkeProgramare, or Plan of the Procession. we gave yesterday. Every possible publicity was given to it. and the morning dawned with a sanguine expectation of a most brilliant display. The weather was delightful. and every thing bore the most flittering appearance. Although the procession was not to form uuul about one, the people began to repair Irons the west rod of the town to the city, so early as nine o'clock. The population of the town was increased by a great influx from the suburbs ; and. indeed. from distances of many miles. all at tracted by the preparatory means adopted to give interest and eclat to the scene. The streets, how ever. did not display any appearance ahead,. notil *bout 1.2 0 k. At that time, the several volun ,e-r corps had mustered ow their respective stations. and the regular troops made their appearance in al most every direction, either in small parties, or in !ante bodies. The huh ape igoone marched into toe ► CI Om lEt4t x i and pabstsi thong the Strand to the West end of the lava, where they remained dodo/ . the course of the dry. Oa their arrival in the, Strand, opposite Catherineottreeff they were met by • large party of Sir Flatlets Butt:tare's friends from Soho, amounting to upwards of 500, walking hand in hand, and two by two. They appeared to he composed principally of the lower class of trades. men, stud all wore the Baronet's favour, viz. • purple ribbon, itistrihed with various appropriate mottos, such as " Burdett and Liberty," " Burdett and In dependence," " Hold Sc the Lows," &c. &c. This corps, as they putted, invited every person whom they met to join them, and picked up several re cruits on their way. They were accompanied by a full band of music, with colours flying ; and at the moment when they came in contact with the 13th dragoons, were marching to the air of" St. Patrick's Day." The band of the 12th dragoons immediate ly struck up " God save the King." and both corps proceeded for their respective destina tions without farther notice. The 12th dra goons were soon after followed by the 54th.— They both mustered very strong. being not less together than 1,500. Every thing bad now assumed the hue, complexion, and appearance, of the ex pected procession. In every hackney-coach. stage coach, or tax-ant, that passed in the line between the Baronet's house, in Piccadilly, and the Tower, a distance of between two and three miles, the horses and driven were decorated with buriehes of purple ribbon. The whips of the drivers, and the bosoms of the driven, boasted similar favours.— Parties paraded the Streets, to the dulcet sounds of marrow-bones mid cleavers; some composed, a. such parties are, of detachtnents from the markets; others of little school-boys, let loose by the holi days ; but all uniform mud emulous in the great work of celebrating the release of Sir FRANCIS from the Tower with appropriate splendour. The west end of the town appeared to be forsaken by all the lower orders, and the whole line of the Strand, fleet-street, Cheapside, Lesdeshaltstreet, and the Nlinories, was 61Ied with an influx of visitors. In this motley mass, the ladies appeared to pre dominate, as well in numbers as in spirit. Purple,. the colour of the Baronet's favours, was the order of the day. In honour of it, some of the fair pe destnans wore purple pelisees,others purple shawls, or lists and bonnets, but none less than purple rib. bona on their heeds, round their lovely insists, or their still snore lovely bosoms. The *nadirs's in all these streets. and the balconies also, shared their full proportion of spectatora, principally elegantly dreErd females, all eager to see the passing spec tacle, of which they had heard so much, and winch promised so much gratification. The carriages de stined to form a part of the cavalcade, end also the led horses, added considerably to the eclat and Ts. nets. of the poising scene. They were profusely ornamented with purple favours, the deinand fur which exceeded the supply, and many were obliged to content themselves with any colour at all related to it, such as blues of every kind, lilac. &r. Mr. ' DaNsa's shop, iu Great Russell -street, Covent- Kind. ii, was a great emporium for this article, with which it famished the friends of Slr FRANCIS on their way front the west to the east end of the then, to an extent almost incredible, for the vote ri-s of the Baronet were not content with wearing his favours iu th-ir hat. and at their bottom*, they had bunches of' them at the ends of their sticks, and of their whips, trod their horses' heads and furuitnre were covered with them. One o'clock . was the hoar appointed for the Gentlemen who meant to join the procession, to form at their respective stations, viz. the Pedestrians oi Great Tower-hill, the Gentlemen on horseback in Moorlields, and the carriages in the Minoriea.— By that time, a great proportion of the shops in the intended liue of the procession, were shut. and some of them barricadoed for defence, against the expected pressure of the crowd. At forty minutes past three, Parliament was prorogued, and intelligence to that effect in a few minutes after reached the Strand and other streets its the line of the procession. All was now anaietyand impatience for the approach of the Baronet, and every horseman or chariot. that came from the east, was eagerly fonit ed to as the precursor of the long expected fete. Disappointment. however, was the result of all their inquiries mid expectation., for in some time after three o'clock the prorogation of Parlimment being motto known iu the Tower, Sir FRANCIS BURDETT, contrary to the general expectation, re solved upon departing front that place without those forms of triumph with which it was intended that his departure should be distinguished. He took a boat from the Tower Wharf, in which he crossed over to the Sum" , aide, where Lady BURDETT waited for him. They proceeded from thence in a roach to Wimbledon. la mentioning flit. circuris stance, we feel it to be but justice to Sir resorts Bumper? to acknowledge the propriety of his cooduct in declining to contribute, by his presence, to that irritation of feeling. which, in such an immense assemblage of people was naturally to be expected, We rejoice that the preparations of his Committee did a .1 receive the authority of his sanction. and that those steps which met with such universal repro bation, and that expected sheep, which. while it might please the crowd, was but too likely to of fend the losers of order and humanity. were plan- otd without hut acquiescence, sad defeated by bma Orudence ernd eoniicteration.
