'Ltsaow, JAN. 15.—As every thing that passes in Spain cannot be indifferent to you, and as it is besides possible that you may nut have receiv ed such circumstantial accounts as those I pos sess, I haven to commuuicate them to you in their original farm. EXTRACT OF A LETTER, DATED CADIZ, JAN. 4. " I avail myself of the courier which the Por tuguese Consul sends to Villa Real de Sall Auto. Din, to ailnourice to pm, that the army of the ex pedition, composed of 13,000 men, revolted on the Is?, and on the some day seized on the Ge net in Chief, Coon,. de Calderon, and immedi ately detached a body of 5000 men on to seize on the brigade of CMabineros Iteales. On the 2 , 1 a division arrived at Medina, and yrioei day, the 31, they took military possessioa of La Isla tie Leon, Poll St. Mal y's, anti the Arsenal of Carraca. General Cisneros, Commandant of the Iklarine Department, was arrested in the first city, and tie Aomiral •f the squadron, Maural, has also been seized ar N il St, Ainty's. It was yes tettlay at 4 o'clock P. ar. that we were informed •f the whole of arse events. At five, the Ge neral, Governor ad ildetim, sallied forth from the Trocadeto with 500 men belon4ing to the regi ment of Soria, and a party of the militia. lie Ilion- joined a corps tOrMed uut of the ereues of the six ships of the line and seven ft igates, lying it the harbour, which made his force ationnit to 1,500 men. With this he repelled 2000 men, who emleavoured to enter here last night. The latter lost seven men killed, and halted on the The land and sea gates are closed, and the most fatal consequences are dreaded. We are ignurdot which side the squadron will take, whirl' is composed of the vessels above stated, and 7 brigs and 30 gum-boats. " The instant this news reached us, the Calm at:nor of State, Asmart z, who was here carrying on the proceedings relating to the Officers arrested in consequence of the affair of Bth July, (the one in which O'Donnei was implicated), immediately embatked , sith his whole faintly it an American vessel, which, it is believed, is boom! to Lisbon. As we are now completely besieged on the land sitle, I shall he tillable to inform you of the re sults, onless by extraordinary opportunities like the present one." The letters from Badajoz of the 12th nearly confirm the whole of the preceding, and•say, that the 5,00 men entered Seville, and proclaimed the Constitution of the Col tes, that a Central Junta hal been established there. Two extraor dinary couriers from Cadiz had been taken, anti one of them, who made some resistance, was killed on the spot. The Junta has ordered that the soldiers should be paid at the rah: of a peceta per thy, end receive each 11h. of meat. llere (ill Lisbon) every thing is in perfect tran quillity, and will remain so. The Government, we understand, will confine itself to the er,tablish itiga cordon of troops on the frontiers, in order to mlintain perfect iwutrality. ‘Ve expect, with the utmost impatience, the day after to-morrow, the post from Spin. Exriukcr OP ANuTHER LETTER, DATED LISBON, JAN. 1.1. We beg to advise you, that it is generally be lieved here that the Spanish troops, destined to embark at Cadiz, have revolted, taken possession of the Carraca arsenal, &c., and made an attempt on Cadiz ; in the latter they tailed. The Gover nor and 500 men opposed their entry, and blew op the bridge, but the citizens would have re ceived them. It is said Seville is taken, and all Anda!usia in arms, and that the plan was known at Madrid on the Ist inst. No letters have been received from Cadiz the last three mails. [The Times.] By accounts received yesterday from the Penin sula, there appear strong grounds for believing that an alarming insurrection has arisen in the heart of Spain. It was ascertained in thy city early in the day, that the Frencb mail, which usually conveys the Spanish letters, had brought none from Cadiz, and very few from Seville or Madrid ; and that these latter appeared all to have been opened ; they were confined in general to the mere details of business, and contained scarcely a hint of what was passing in the interior. This ab sence of all information from Spain direct, excited a strong sensation among the merchants connected with that country ; the arrival of a Lisbon mail, however, which sailed on the 15th,supplied in some ineaaure the desired information, though the details are stir imperfect. It is staled in letters from Bade joz, of the 12th, that the insurrection broke out on the Ist among the troops stationed in the neigh bourhood of Cadiz, and that their first step was to secure the person of Calderon, the Com tnander-in-Chief. The number of the insurgents is variously stated; some letters computing them at 15,000, and others at 23,000 tutu: there is little doubt that their force is extremely formidable. On the 2d inst., a large body of them marched to Port St. :‘lery's, of which they took quiet posses sion ; they afterwards proceeded to the isle of St. Leon, and by a hold manoeuvre succeeded in taking Cisneros, the Minister of Marine, into custody. This Minister, it will be recollected, repaired to the isle of St. Leon immediately on his nomina tion, to superintend the suing out of the grand expedition. The following day was employed in au attack un the Trocadero, or naval arsenal, of St. Leon. which, according to some accounts, after a slight resistance, fell into their hands. Dining these three days, it is not stated that any measures were adopted by the Authorities at Cadiz to .check the progress of this alarming revolt. On the 4th, the insurgents attempted Cadiz itself, with about 2,000 men ; hot the Governor, with a force of I ,30j, of whist.. 250 'were soldiers, and the re toaioder workmen, received them so warmly, that they tell back with a loss of seven men killed. Some accounts state, that this repulse was effected by the blowing up of the bridge. The next day, shish is the latest intelligence from Cadiz, the insurgents renewed their attempt with a force of 5000 men, the issue of which is not certain, though one account states it to have been success ful. At the same time, so complete a state of organization had the insurrection assumed, that the insurgents were enabled to send off another detachment, also consisting of 5000 men, for Se ville, in order to attack that city, and to secure to their party the Regiment of Royal Carabi- Deers, who were supposed to be imbued with the same spirit of disaffection to the Government.- 13y the way of Portugal, intelligence from Se ville to the Bth has been received : it does not appear from them that the insurgents have actually entered the city, but were within five leagues' march, and were expected next day : no opposition was contemplated. It is remarkable, however, that there are tetttts from Seville which state, that a provisional Junta had been formed, and the Constitution proclaimed; frOm whence it might be interred. that this movements from Cadiz wet e anticipated, anti the city already in a state of revolt. The cormnonication of Cadiz with Aladrid is completely cut off, anti it seems probable that the Spanish Government, thoogh said to be aware of the insurrectionary spi tit that existed among the troops, is ignorant of the conseqoences that have resulted from it. An extraordinary courier from Cadiz to the capital was intercepted on the :id, and because lie resisted, lint to death. Among several persons of eminence who had fallen into the handsot the insurgents, wits Maus eel, the Commissioner of the Navy. No names of officers commanding the insurrectionary army I,li, leached its in umpestionahle sit tpe; but, from the general discontent among them, it is believed that they are numerous, anti of rank. Their tirtvements, indeed, show all the regularity of on army in a complete state of org.iilization. The above is the substance of the letters transmitted by way of Portugal. One letter flow Seville has this remarkable expression :—" You will shortly " receive most important news front this quarter ; " but we cannot at present convey any hint of.its " nature." ‘Ve give these important details en tirely on the authority of private letters. The difficulty of collecting itifortuation iu n period of general confusion and alarm may have rendered them inaccurate in some points ; but the coinci dence of so malty accounts leaves little room for doubting that the spirit of insurrection has mani fested iself to a degree far more formidable than the present Government of Spain has hitherto ex perieoced. Extracts of Letters from Cadiz, dated the 4th instant, received at 1.),h0u by the way of Villa Real, from Seville, dated the 9th, froia liadajuz dated the 12th, and frviu Madrid the 10th. On New Year's Day more than 15,000 men, forming the greater pat t of the troops destined for the South American Expedition, broke up from their different cantonments. One division marched to Arcos de la Frontera, the bead•quarters of the Coutruander-in-Chief, Count Calderon (Cal lejm,) who was surprised and made prisoner. These troops then proceeded to Medina Sidonia, Puerto de Santa Maria, Puerto Real, the Isle of Leon ; took prisoner Admiral Cisneros,, Minister of Marine, and Vice• Admiral Ma►trelle ; and encamped on the banks of the Arillo, at the distance of less than half a league from Cadiz by the highway.— The other division of the Insurgent Army directed its march on the great arsenal of the Trocadero ; but the provisional Governor of Cadiz, baying in the absence of the Governor, Conde tie l'Abisbal, hastened to its sietence with 250 men of the Regi ment of Soria, some of the City Militia, and part of the crews of several frigates lying in the bay, the assailants were repulsed with the loss of seven men. " Accounts from Badajoz of the 12th instant, also received by the way of Lisbon, state, that Cadiz and all the neighbouring places, with the sole exception of the Trocadero, were in the pos session of the insurgents, and that they had pro. claimed the constitution of the Cortes. This is stated to have beets likewise done at Seville, which was cult:led on the 4th by a division of 5,000 men. The insurgents obliged General Freyre to join them, at►si put himself at their head with his select corps of cavalry, the brigade of Royal Carabineers, and instituted a provisional Government. " These accounts further add, that tEeAttoars . ney of the Council of War, Aguavez, w ho w employed to examine the officers arrested in con sequence of the attempt made last July, had em. barked with the greatest precipitation fur Liabon on board an American vessel, leaving all the exa• ()dilations behind him. Two couriers, dispatched from Cadii to Madrid, were stopped at Seville; and one of them having resisted, was killed in the Plaza de San Francisco. Every soldier receives daily one peseta (about 9d.) and a pound of meat. " The latest accounts from Madrid state, that nothing 'dative to these events was known there until the 6th, and paint in lively colours the alarm which the news excited in that capital, the fears of some, and the hopes which others enter• twined of the speedy arrival of the Insurgents.— The opinion of all judicious persons in Madrid was, that the insurrection, if not already general, most soon be so ; and appearances indicate that on the danger becoming snore imminent, the Court will not hesitate to leave Madrid. There are different opinions as to the road the Members of the Court will in that case take. Souse suppose that they will go to Purtngel, with the view of embarking, in case of necessity, at Lisbon for Mexico. But most are persuaded that they will direct their course to France." SHELTER FOR THR HOUSILES9.—The same acti vity and zeal still continue to animate the pio ceedings of the leading Members and the Commit tees. An early meeting for the purpose of con sultation took place yesterday at the Mansion house, which was attended by the Lord Mayor, Sir J. Lubbock, Mr. Hick, and Mr. Bodkin ; and the General Committee, at which the Bishop of Chesser presided, met subsequently at the King's-Head, in the Poultry. The latter was chiefly employed in arrangements with the pa rish officers. A letter from Mr. Waters, the Pro prietor of the King's Theatre, was read, offering a gratuitous peiformance for the benefit of the Institution. Captain Owen and two other Gen- • tleruen from the Committee for the Relief ot Desti tute Seamen, attended at the Asylum, and selected 69 able-bodied ►ueu to go ou board the ships now siiing out at Portsmouth. 'Pie loir4 of Asy hint, it has been intimated, on account of the great increase Of numbers, will shot tly be closed against the admission of new inmates. Covent garden Theatre will be opened this evening, for the benefit of the charity, it hating been deter mined by authority that the public places should only he closed last night and on the night of the Funeral of his Royal Highness the Duke of Kent. —(lbid.)

From the noises and disturbance which frequently occurred in the house where deceased lived, the accused became greatly annoyed. On the afternoon of Monday lie came opposite to the window where the deceased and two other young women were Bitting. He observed, that it they did not keep themselves quiet he would shoot one of them.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION. --From calculation by the College of Physicians, no less than 40,000 die annually in Great Britain of Consumption, and at least 10,000 in London.

It is also incredible tl►e number that suffer trout a certain Disease, by being improperly treated. it was those circumstances induced Dr. Coopan to select eminent Physicians and Surgeons, of at least 30 years' experience, to form a Medical licuird; and since the establishment upwards of 30,000 Pa tients have been cured without confinement— many of them after hospitals had failed.
