" About the middle of the mouth of May 1 received a
leiter from his Majcsir, which aunourted to me a plate of au
isesurreetion in the army, the (object of which was to discern-
reel the projected rxpedition, and to establish a new system
of govereinoeut. Ili, Majs sty charged me to mike some
examples to cheek this disorder, sod out to treat this notice
with indifference, as the execution of the plan appeared
pe °halide.
" Noose of my proceeding,' previous to the period at which
I assembled a past part of the army for the purpose of en-
c empire% theist near Pewter Sesta Marie, ought to inspire
my fiends with the slightest distrust. o the 2.1 or 3.1 of
July, us my return to Cadre, 1 wee informed that the lan-
guage of s 000 e officers of the garrison were so alarming, that
the Corregidor hod given intimation is) the Captain-General
of the lids, that a revolution was threatrued in the army,
and that advice of the same nature had heels communicated
to his Majesty by au extraordinary dispatch.. This impru-
dence, which exposwel the future success of a well-pla 1111 l .1
cute rprise, caused one to adopt measures for diverting the
Mil-Mal/II of the Government. I changed the regiments of
the goo mon or Cadig, and ordered souse of them to be seat
into easetoiernetots.

" I was informed that the troops et Puerto Santa Maria
were resolved to elect Gener..l Dun Psalm Saarsfield as their
Chief, and to seize upon the Isla without the concurrence of
the other troops, if I refused ii, 110 as they desired ; but

" My emetic, were as ardeul as theirs, but a war was to
be apprehended between those corps of tier army which held
different opiniona, aid this could opt (Ail of !Mug injurious
to the nation. When I was convinced of the impossihility of
att. owing what the troops desired, General Saarsfield came
on the evening of the 6th, to I.IIIIWiIIICC to me that the trsoseprs.
of Puerto Santa Maria were in complete revolutiou, dri
mined not to go to the cantoissurots assigned to Ilsern, and
resolved to male me if I did not yield to their ile-
niatids. I revoked the order for their departure, charging
General Saarslield not to make use of this revocation ex-
cepting at the last damnify.
" This General, noel Colonel Arcu-Agsiero, whom I had
edit to restore corder, returned on the following day, and
Wormed me that the troops persisted in their demand. To
save them front so great a fault, I proceeded to their quar-
ters on the night of the Bth, and arrested the Chiefs who
wants d to depose me from the command, with the intention
of selling them at liberty, and employing them with advan-
tage, at a period fawns's:dile fur executing flee meditated co-
mprise. It was not wild 49 hour* after the arrest of these
Oaken, that I caused their papers to be seized; I acted in
fine as a friend, and not as MI Owens's! General.
" The Goveinment recalled tor lu Madrid, and deprived
me of the comniaud of the army, thus frustrating all my
hopes. Ewen after the nomination of General Calderon in
toy place, I was desirous to art 1,111 fawns Madrid, for the pur-
pose of putting myself at the head of the army, and of giving
liberty to my arrested companions in arms ; but the fear of
tint bring obeyed by the Generals-is-Chic( of the army
caused me to &pigs from my purpose.
" Assume as I learned the heroic movement of General
Quiroga, I was deairous of imitating it so soon as my (mem
would permit me. I found no opportunity for dieing it until
the 'onsets of the corps of sippers of AICIII4 with the regi-
ment the Imperial Alexander, at Ocatia, where I caused the
Constitution to hr proclaimed, mid formed a strong division,
which would have favoured the people of the kingdoms of
Jaen, Cordova, and Seville, in declaring themselves, and
would finally hare joined the division of the immortal Hier°
in directly seconding the effuses of the brave use's of the Isla
de Leon."
