n, SEPT. '27.-.—Some troops of the. garrison of
Corunna, seduced by Field-Marshal.Don Juan Diez Por-
lier, (known by the name of Marquesito) rose on the
morning of the 19th, against the legitimate authorities,
publishing seditiously the constitution of the soi-disant
Extraordinary Cortes, and arresting the Captain-General
and the Governor and Commandant, without the inhabi-
tants of the said city taking a part in any of these acts.
For the purpose of making his detestable project success-
ful, and of supporting his usurped authority, the same per-
son caused seditious proclamations to be circulated, which,
far from producing any bad effect, filled the loyal inhabi-
tants with indignation.

The success corresponded with the temerity of the en-
terprize ; for the flame of insurrection was scarcely kin-
dled before it was extinguished, as appears from the fol-
lowing official letters addressed to Don Pedro Cevallos

Fin::T with joy at the sight of &
people celebrating the victory of its Ring and of justice, I
11.1ve the honour to announce to your Excellency .the
ilgreeabie intelligence that the scenes of horror which Don.
Juan Diez Porlier prepared for this loyal people, are
happily terminated.—lion Juan left this city on the night
between the 21st and 2'2d, with the small number of troops
-who he believed the most faithful to his cause, and fol-
lowed by some pieces of artillery, he marched upon St.
Jago : from whence I received notiee that he was abaft*
dotted by the greater number of his peoplei and put com-
pletely to rout - by the faithful- troops.who waited to meet:
him on the road, and who were, it is said) commanded by
Field-Marshal Don Pedro d'Avalos;• ' r.:

Excellency, that I have seen with the greatest pleasure all
the authorities and official persons of all classes, testify in
the most heroic manner their love for their sovereign.—:
God preserve your Excellency,
Cortinna, Sept. 24.

P. S. The General has left the Castle.

SzcoNn. LETTER.—May it please your Excellency.--I
have kept the courier till half-past eleven o'clock, that the
Captain-General might inform your Excellency of his be-
ing set at liberty, of the re-establishment of the tranquil-
lity in the city, of the flight of the Traitor Porlier, and his
partizans, who, according to the news brought by an
Officer who has come from Betanzos, has been taken and
carried into that place.--(Madrid Gazette Exlraor•
dinary.)
Conning, Sept. RS.
Nole.—Our private correspondence adds to this relation
the following details :—Porlier was arrested in a village
two or three leagues from St. Jago, where he was taking
some rest. It was two petty-officers (serjeants), who, as
it is said, having received large bribes from the clergy and
the nobility, succeeded in making the troops march
a gainst their Officers and Porlier, who arrested him while
asleep. The Colonel of the Regiment of Gallacianß, who
was at St. Jago, by refusing to obey the orders which Por-
lier sent to him from Carunna, to cause the Constitution of
the Cortes to be published, has, perhaps, saved Spain from
a revolution.
