made the We of Lem, impregnable by weeks con-
structed on the* isaportant point. Colonel Itiego,
alter having visited Algesira., returned to Veirr
with provision., surrey, horses for drawing his ar-
tillery, and good errors tor the troop.. From Vr.
jar he entered into the Isla, with the troops awl his
:convoy, without suffering any interruption. The
constitution has been proclaimed at Alge.ins., amt
trade hiss been herd from all its shackle.. Tariffs
and Wrier have declared fur 11w Cootilutionalisto.
lVe are auesired that these towns have collectively
formed a provisional government.
We hear that when two cavalry regiments of the
Royal army were about to join the notional troops,
the Royal Catbineers endrevoured to prevent them,
but were obliged to yield, after Itiving lust their
Corstmandent, some officers, and several soldiers.

There have been some popular tumulus at Sara-
gossa. Amidst two crowds a cry was heard, " Long
lire the Constitution, and &wit with tyranny,"
The authorities suppribied the turnidt withal,'
much difficulty; but several parties of Guerilla%

the kingdom of Aire.Tom

According to letters from Madrid, the column of

himself had passed over to the losurgeuts. A lei-
ter from Gibraltar informs us, that he had been
abandoned by 300 of hi. cavalry.
There is ■ report of a discovery or a correspond-
ence between the Colonel of the regiment of Aqtr-
riss and Geo. Frryre. The Colonel bid, it is
raid, been shot.

A report circulates iis Paris, slut Mina hat gone

The report which was giorred some tune ego of
an insurrection in the A-tu►ias is today confirmed.
On the 14th of February the Cou►tituttuu was pro-
claimed at Oviedo, the capital of that province.—
/( audit ationel, 111iirek 1./
We are told to-day that ilie iiistugents in the Isle
of Leon have created le provisional goveruaseut,
consisting of five member..
A superior dicer, under the diogiiiie of a dealer
in cattle, entered the island by order of General
Freyre. He was immediately recognised by a ma-
jority of the insurgent officers, whit, far from treat.
tog him as a spy, welcomed him moat kindly,. stud
feasted him with the utmost hospitality. After per-
mitting him to visit the whole of their fortifications,
they sent him back to General Freyre with a letter,
inviting that individual to join their pa►ty.
Mega left his division for a shiest time at Alge-
vitas, and went in person to Gibraltar, where, in
very few hours, he negotiated a loan of 100,000 dol-
lars for the insurgent army.
Marc Aguero, our of the most active of the in-
surrection, went to Loudon fur the same purpose.
He found no difficulty in accomplishing his object.
It is certain that Meg° has had so eisgagement
with the division of O'Donnell ; that the Royal
carabineers, who alone gave battle, met ivi*lt very
awkward treatment; that the remainder of the di-
vision refused to fight ; and that two regiments of
cavalry went ove► to the side of the insurgents.
The consequence of this affair was, that General
Freyre had disarmed and sent into the interior font
regiments on which he thought that he could out
per feet ly rely.
There is no longer any doubt of an insurrection
in the Asturias.—( Consiitutionel, March 4 /
