INSUHRECTION IN SPAIN.

By the 4Thlon, .rived at Portsmouth from Gib-
raltar, hat Mg sailed on the 16th ult., srm.• ore
derived of the state of Co.liz up to the lath. One
letter invidious, that on that day the iriaurgeuts had
positively not entered Cadiz; and another stales,
that no cunt intelligence had been obtained from
them since the breaking out of the d.sturbance,
adding, that even General Den possessed no ac-
count• on which reliance ciiithl he placed. A
Gibraltar letter of the 10th, !retired through Sp tin,
mentions the arrival ilisre of a bast limn Cadiz,
with news that the city had fallen lion the iirossetwon
of the insurgents, but that f.et is coiltratlicted by
the information brought by o,e altl/un. Our the
101 h, it appears that the letters f Ertglind,
through Madrid, arrived in due course at Gibraltar.
Those transmiited from Gibraltar for Cadiz ea the
6th, were all brought b:ick, • circumstance that
has caused much *proof:okra among the Spanish
merchants. The inferences dress* from. it we dos.
cool-aging to the cause of the I iniepenttentr, it being
evident that Cadiz was not in their possession;
thus strengtheniug the assertion in the letter from
Gibraltar; mid further. that the interruption of the
Communication with Gibraltar, which may be el-
retied with a !MAIM of tarn, was no red in itself

BRUSSELS. JANUARY 47.

The papers are full of details of the dreadful ra-
vages caused by the unprecedented rising of the
rivers of this kingdom. The waters of the Rhine,
the Meuse, the Waal, and the Leek. have in some
places burst the dikes, and in others overflowed
and deluged all the level country behind them.
The communications are interrupted, the cattle are
in easily !daces swept away, the villages make sig-
nals of distress, tie cries of despair are heard from
the inhabitants calling for as.istance, and the report
of cannon announcing the breaking of the dikes,
adds to the terrors of our situation. The public au-
thorities eitert themselves to the utmost to take the
most effectual measures, and his Majesty has as-
signed very large sums from hi. privy purse fur the
relief of the poor in several of the provinces. The
snin of 30,000 florins is allotted to South Brabant
alone.—(Brussels Papers, January 374

PARIS, JANUARY 29.
From the .loaraabdrs Debate.)

The accounts from Spain continue to be favour-
stile to the cause of legitimacy. Almost the whole
army has remained faithful to the Monarch ; and
of about 5,000 insurgent., more than 2,000 have
■dread). quitted the standard of rtbellion. Generals
Fr.yre, Cruz-Mourgeon, and Nlichelens, have
every where mai:twined or established tranquillity.
General Fieyre has evinced the greatest loyalty,
✓od to Ins influence is attributed the return of a
great number of soldiers who followed the insur-
gent. solely from a blind obedience towards their
Officers, whose intentions they did not 4111141 ref.
A letter from Blyoune of the 4211 J•utuary sari.
"No town has taken any part in the insurrection,
which has been purely military. The force of the
itistirgent., who occupy the Irk of Leon and its
environs, cou►isted altogether of seven battalions,
but this force is considerably reduced by nume-
rous desertion., and does not now exceed 3,000.

" The position Gf the Isle of Leon is strong,
but the insurgents and the inhabitants of the town
of sin Fernando will soon want provisions. The
fleet is wholly out of their power; they ere blockaded
by sea as well as by land. The highest good for.
tune their Chiefs can aspire to is to escape at night
in sonic light vessels."
( From the Casette de Freece.)

A private letter from Seville, worthy of credit,
has been this instant communicated to ns. It an-
nounces that on the Bth some rebels, amounting to
about 51,000 appeared at the gates of Utters, a
town IS leagues from Cadii, and had there de-
manded 8,000 ration's.
General Cruz-Mourgeon is charged with the or.
gain:otitis' of some troops in Seville. The author'.

Mebl themselves to meet the extraordinary expenses
required by circumstances. The tribunal of the
Inquisition alone has offered 60,000 real* (15.000 fr.)
