MADRID, DICEMORR 10.
(=TRACT FROM A PRIVATI pure*.)
We are st last come to the palnirhieh I haver*
long apprehended. The civil war is commenced,
iind its appearance is accompanied with dreadful
indications. You form your own opinion from the
following detail of facts :-
1 have already informed you that General Mo-
reno aroix, not hiving been received at Seville,
had retired to Cordova, where. despite of the Jaco-
3in faction, he was recognised as military comman-
dant. In the mean time the King's Message to the
Cartes, and their Ammer, arrived ; the timid no
longer hesitated to declare themselves, nor the
troops to submit. The Municipal Authorities made
protestation of their devotion to the Constitution
end the King. The Royal Authority was filially
acknowledged.
General I)soix, taking advantage of the favoura-
ble dispositions of the greater part of the province,
made several attempts to induce:Seville and other
communes to return to their duty, but in vain; he
then exerted himself to prevent any communication
with the rebels ; all the militia took arms, and have
since watched over the trasiquillity of their dis-
tricts ; General Moreno, on his part, made dispo-
sitions for the occupation of an important point
by a regiment of royal carbineers, which, on
their arrivil. was disputed by another regiment
of cavalry which General Xelasco had dispatched
to take possession of the same point ; the carbiucers
accosted their comrades with outs of the 4, Con-
stitution for ever;" the others replied with 4, Lung
live Riego !" The dispute grew warm ; sword'
glittered ; a terrible shock leagued : death was, iw
their ranks; officers and soldiers perished inniscri.:
minutely in defending their cause. At length the
t just cause triumphs,. gall_ the carbitmers. amidst
shouts of " The Cestatillieian rued a Comsat.-
tional King r remain gaolers of the position
„ which they had been:: iedered to ()mullein..
Oa this intelligence, tist.:4hole province seleint
to be disposed 14) marOa,ilime ; hoiseage,
the Authorities were satisfied to remain in en.
pectation of further events. Such are the accounts
brought by Pie last courier from Andalusia.
The Oolitici;l Chief of Coronna, notwithstanding
• all his exertious..wiss,ieut able to execute the order
fur the depositiesof General Mina, even the
litiatidlfirilet listen to his commands and re.-
toonstreiniii*whs then obliged to submit, and
deterniined•to remain quiet in order to avoid greater.,
calamities. Meals time the towns of Orense, Lug*,
Ike. having protested thattlet, would not acknow":"
ledge the authority of General Mina, and having
Aliso declared they would no longer obey the Poli-
tical Chief, whom they considered to be in a state
of oppression, the litter 14,4.:ortinna and joined
those who remained faithful to their duty, at whose
head he is at present. He immediately published
6 Nevem/ Proclamations, which'Were circulated even
in the smallest hamlet. apt,Gallicie was at the
same moment under arms. Corunnu and the
pert of the province which favours his party, rire,,.
as it were, in a state of blockade. • The lon.
gadier Deism', the . Pelitical Chief, intimated
to Genital Mina, that'll's:oold: be declared a
rebel, if he persevered in his.illegal .efetsimend,
this communication was received with disdain,
end the people of Corunna, it is mid. have pro-
tested that ihey would not allOw the General to
depart, and that they would pay still less attention
to the commands of the Political Chief than to
those of the Administration. It is evident, however,
that both in Seville and Corunnu there are many
persons who are not inclined to the course which
affairs are taking in those cities; but holiest men,
restrained or intimidated by the Jacobin faction,
which is so much the more audacious as it has no-
thing to lose, submit for the present, and delay
taking a decisive step till the Corms declare them-
selves: the famous sitting will take place to-morrow
(t tit)). and then will Ise decided the fate of one of
the parties, or rather the fate of Spain.
The garrisons of Saragossa, Fero!, Valencia,
Orense, Lugo, Cordova, and Grenada, have al-
ready addressed the King, with protestations of
their devotion and obedience to constitutional laws.
The guard has no occasion to make any declare-
time; its sentiments are known, it does not wish
for a despotism, but for salutary freedom, which
is very different from what our Liberates are in-
dined to give us.
