The Madrid Gatette of the 13th of January

silence on what is passing in Andalusia. a silence
which cannot be interpreted favourably. They
might have at Madrid, on the 130 i, the news from
Cadiz, at least, of the 10th, importing that the in-
Aurreelson had been at that time ten days in exist-
ence, during which it must have made progress. for
