POLITICAL EVENTS OF THE WREN.

It will be remembered that when, in our Political Dis-
quisition on the affairs of Spain, we took a view of the
causes of the Re%olutions that have occurred there,. we
♦entured to select, as the most probable of those causes,
a prii.ciple of action which few of our cotemporaries were
wtlhiig to consider. We conceived, that though it was by
no improbable that BONAPARTE had by his intrigues
set the first Revolution in motion, yet the most likely
supposition was, that the people were themselves inclined
to rek on, and did so, without foreign investigation. But
we all know BONAPARTE so well, that it is no matter of.sur-
prise to us, to see him already writing a letter to the
Fairies of Arroaiss in the style of a Master. We cannot
wonder to see him taking instant advantage of commotion,
though he may not have originally raised it. Some of the
last measures we can scarcely doubt, have been effected
by his immediate interposition : and we are amply inclined
to believe, that he has intentionally sacrificed some of his
troops, for the sake of gaining an excuse for the oppres-
sion of Spain, and the ultimate sequestration of all its au-
thority into his own hands.
Dispatches have been received from Admiral PURVIS,
which are thought to relate to a proposal from Cadiz, for
surrendering the French and Spanish Fleets in that port,
the former as prize, and the latter in trust or for allowing
England to occupy Cadiz, Vale!) is considered by some to
be a post defensible against the Continent. To these dis-
patches an answer was sent by Ministers on Friday. For
the lake of the Spaniards themselves, we hope that no sur-
render of the ships is likely to be made. It will not enable
us to assist them : and it will excite the most signal ven-
geance of BONAPARTE. As to the occupation of Cadiz,
we consider that report as a little too romantic to be
believed.
The accounts from Gibraltar by the Townshend packet,
just arrived, relate chiefly to the late events in Spain. It
is stated, that BONAPARTE bad given directions to his troops
to strip all the Spanish arsenals, disarm all the inhabitants,
and send all the arms and stores to France, and it was in
the execution of these orders that the French troops met
with that formidable popular resistance, which has been
already described ; the people, however, appeared to con-
tinue unanimous in their determination to resist their op-
pressors. In Cadiz, the French were compelled to take
refuge on board the ships of war lying in the harbour.—
The Duke DE MEDINA CIELI, with a number of the princi-
pal Nubility, and several Archbishops and Bishops, had
gone to Bayonne, at the desire of BONAPARTE, and it was
supposed they would he retained by him as hostages.
The following letter, by the Townsliend packet, gives
an account of the late Insurrection at Madrid, somewhat
different from those already given :
" On the 2d inst. General Murat (Grand Duke of Berg), en-
tered Madrid, tini intimated to the 1 nfant I)on Antonio, that his
presence wasiequisite at the conferences about to be held at
Bayonne, between Bonaparte and the King, and that it was ex-
pected he would issue a I'roclamatiou declaring him (Murat)
Regent during his absence. To this the Infant answered, " That
he had received tile Regency from the King his Nephew, into
whose hands only he would resign it ; und, that as the duties of
the Regent of Spain were ineontpatable with a journey to Bay-
onne, he should remain at Madrid." Murat finding the Infant
immoveable in his determination, ordereda large body of troops,
which he had a few days before withdrawn from Madrid, to re-
enter that city, intending, as is supposed, to seize the person of
Don Antonio, and to declare himself Regent. However, the
Inhabitants got intimation of it, and being alarmed at the return
