We mentioned yesterday a report of a
eommotion at Seville, in which several of
the ]tmta had been seized by the popuiace
on the euepicion of being traitors to their
eountry—Aletter from Cadiz, which we
have inaerted in the preceding page men
the marquis de Montejo, and Several officers
of the guards. Another letter from Se
viile of the 18th contains the following im
portant P. S.
—** The greatest confusion prevails in this
city. Paiafox, the brother of the heroic
defender of Saragusea, has been put under ]
arrest. A French officer of .iistinction has '
been detected here in disguiar. A summa- ,
ry vengeance was inﬂicted upon him by the '
people, whoetrangied him in their rage."
No further particulars have arrived : but
we euepect that when they do,it wiii be found
that the ]unta have been forced to abandon
the rein: of government, and that eeveral as
the memben have fallen victime to the po
pular indignation, or been arreated. The
deliglss'of removmg them haa (or some time

lgreatctt indignation was again excited a
inst them, and the ,marquis- de xble-mnine
is understood to have sitn'ade a. long speech
cutting terms—Fearsulof the popular ven
geance, the Cortes were at length agreed to
be eonvoked. , :
The marquis Wellesley was so popular
during his stay in Spain, that his departure
was considered a public ralamity; and it
was feared that the populace, construing it
into a proosof his being disgttsted with the
conduct of the ]unta, would conspire a
gainst them. Tiles: fears his lordship did
every thing in his power to remove. He
asserted thatthe sttachment of the English
government and people to the Spanish cause
was unabated—that no eﬂ'drtssi'fos theirs
l should be wanting to assist it ;- and {but his
ss departure from Spain was occasioned by a
cause, which. so far from impnnsing, would
tend to encrease his power to be of service
to the Spanish nation. These -tȝep:-es-:nta
tions calmed the popular mind both at St:
ville and at Cathz, where, we hear, it was
first intended by the populaee to prevent
his emharlnng for England, sosianxnous Were
they to keep him in Spain.
