MUTINY AMONG TIIE SPANU,II TROOPS AT CADIZ.

Intelligence of the highest importance, though by
no means of an unexpected nature, has just reached
town from Cadiz. It relates to nothing less than a
mutiny among the troops collected at that place for
the American expedition ; and though the details
have not yet been received, nor the amount of the
dAisction ascertained, the fact itself may be relied on
ith perfect certainty. It is mentioned both in
letters from Gibraltar and Cadiz, and is treated in
every communication as of undoubted occurrence,
though of indefinite.estent. A part of the troops,
it would appear, had been ordered :for immediate
embarkation.
.The reluctance of some of the officers
to the enterprise on which they were to be sent had
been long known, and the repeated delays in the
departure of the expedition, while they manifested
embarrassment and the vacillation of the Govern-
ment, gave the infection time to spread, and enabled
the malcontents to exasperate disaffection into insub-
ordination. The numbers of the mutineers are
variously stated, at 3,000, 7,000, and 8,000 men.
Some accounts add, that the mutiny began with the.
officers, and that they had all been disbanded, while
ethers trace the spirit of revolt np from 'the men to
their leaders. That the event was confidently.anti-
ciliated, appears evident by the following e%tract of
a letter fro:n Gibraltar, dated the 10th
" revointion at Cadiz is confidently apvken or; the
Doer to a man have declared their hatenticis re.istivg
