PARA. FEBRUARY a.
INSURRECTION IN SPAIN.

(From die Alomiterst.)

The courier from Spain arrived yesterday, and
brought letters from Cadiz of the 14th last, from
Honda, of the 18th, and from Madrid, of the 24th.
The letters from Cadiz announce that tranquil-
lity continues to prevail in that city, ■nd that the
population takes no part in the cause of the troops,
who have taken the title of the Constitutional
Army.
Eight hundred men arrived on the 13th, by sea,
from Seville, at Cadiz.

Several proclamations announce that numerous
forces are proceeding against Inc insurgents; that
8,000 men have set out from Madrid, and that the
rest of the Napeditionary Army has been sent into
the interior.

It appears that the Governor of Cadiz sent rein-
forcements too late to La Caracca. It was not until
the 13th that lie ceased SOO men of the regiment of
Soria to reinforce the garrison. But the insurgents
presented themselves in numbers far superor before
the place, which was surrendered to them. Letters
explain this want of resistance, by saying. that the
insurgents manifested a ilispo.ition to set fire to the
arsenal and the marine estsbli•hments, and were
preparing red-het bullets for that purpose, when
the garrison determined to abandon the post.
The ship of war Saint Mime was in harbour, and
fell into the bands of the assailants, the officers
were permitted to retire to Cadiz, and the Governor
was sent to Saint Ferdinand.

The Government of Grenada has placed under
the orders of General Freyre, six regiments of
infantry. which are distinguished by the title of the
Royal Division of Grenada. They are command-
ed by General CrLawler.—General Freyre will,
in the kingdom of Seville, take the regiments of
Spain and of Giuliano, as well as tjiii provincial
grenadiers. His cavalry consists of 5,000 men.—
His army is further reinforced by 6,000 men of the
militia.

The above details are extracted from letters from
Ronda and Cadiz. The following are from those
of Madrid of the 24th :
" It was stated that Admiral Cisneros had suc-
ceeded iu escaping from the revolted army, and was
on board the squadron. He is still a prisoner at
Cusco. The account of the entry of the insur-
gents into La Carracca, probably gave rise to the ru-
mours which were circulated in Madrid on the 42d,
that the post of the Cortadura was in their power.
" Letters from Cadiz of the 18th, received iu
Madrid on the 24th, announce positively that that
post was still held by a garrison of unshaken fide-
lity."
(From the Journal des Dehats.)

A letter from Bayonne, of the 27th, says, " We
have received Cadiz Papers of the 11th. The gates
of that city were guarded by superior officers. The
meeting of even two persons in the streets is strictly
forbidden under the severest penalties. Two hun-
dred men who were at Bilboa, have received orders
to proceed to Iron, to hold garrison there, and watch
the entrance or departure of all persons in that part
of the frontier."

We have received at the same time with the
Gautie of Madrid letters from the capital. dated
the 24th. which merit the mo►t perfect confidence.
