FIGHTING AND LOSS OF LIFE IN CADIZ.
THE TOWN THREATENED WITII
BOMBARDMENT.
THREE THOUSAND MEN IN Alt Ms.
MADRID, Dxc. 9.

Owing to the mediation of the foreign consuls,
both the insurgents and the government party at
Cadiz have agreed to an armistice of 4,1 hours, for
the purpose of burying their dead and affording
sufficient time for the women and eliil.lren to
leave.

The armistice will end to-morrow, and a vigo-
rous attack in conjunction with the men-of-war
will thin be made upon the insurrectionary
forces.

The frigate Tetuan and two other frigates have
brought their broadsides to bear on the port,
ready to bombard Cadiz should the insurgents
continue resistance. The Mediterranean squadron
has also received orders to return to Cadiz.

The insurgents have opened the convict prison.
and distributed arms to 00 Mons there confined.
A man named Yunco, formerly a member of the
progressist party. who has now joined and
gathered around him the partisans of republi-
canism, is in command of the revolutionary forces,
and their numbers are estimated at :IMO men,
including the released convicts.
