CADIZ, JAN. 6.—Some persons were arrested
last night; among them is a Colonel.
MADRID, JAN. 14.—0 n Tuesday, the Bth of
. this month, Olavarrieta, the disturber of the
public tranquillity and apostle of rebellion, was
conveyed to the public prison at Cadiz.
The Government has received to-day an ex-
press from Cadiz, dispatched on the 10th by
Brigadier-General D. Jacinto RomarOte,-statine-,
that at two in the afternoon of that day he had
taken the oath, and assumed the general com-
mand of that province and the military govern-
ment of Cadiz, which had been given up to -him
..-by D. Manuel F. Jauregi, in which act the com-
manders of the troops of the garrison and their
Officers had concurred, and perfect tranquillity
had been maintained in the city. DOn Jauregi
gives the same information to the Government.
Yesterday the Government received an ex-
press from Valencia, sent by the Political Chief,
giving an account of what passed there from
the Bth, in the evening, to the 11th, which
is the date of the dispatches. Several indi-
viduals of all the corps of the garrison hav-
ing •obtained the permission of the Political
Chief and the Military Governor to celebrate
the union, which all the corps of the garrison
had sworn to ofiserve among themselves; followed
by a number of persons of both sexes, and pre-
ceded by music, they paraded the streets with
-continual huzzas to the constitution, constitu-
tional King, religion, peace, and order. In com-
pliment to the national local militia they resolved
to -pass by their guard house. A group of the
rioters of the preceding night assembled at the.
entrance of a-neighbouring street, contrary to the
edict forbidding such assemblages,and began tocry
" Riego for ever !" not to honour the worthy
General, whose heroism is known and esteemed
by every body, hut to create a disturbance. The
rioters proceeded -to other cries, and the 'Com-
mandant had one of the most violent arrested
and lodged in the guard-house, from which he
escaped. The whole terminated with the
.flight
of the rioters, and the civic fete ended without
any further interruption, the tranquillity of the
city being since preserved by patroles of 'the
troops.
On the 9th the Political Chief was informed
that some militia were forthing themselves in
arms in the guard-house, and Went with the Corn-.
mandant General and the regiment Zamora to
the place. When the militia saw them, they
cried " lire at Zamora !" which they however
did not venture to do ; those who did not run
*way were taken, and proceedings are instituted
against them. The other corps arriving with
four pieces of cannon to inspire respect; and
to spew that the garrison was resolved to main-
tain order, and to support the authorities, no
further disturbance tool: place ; • the regiments
returned to their quarters, sending strong patrols
in all directions. •
The same persous who have' for some time
taken on themselves to excite disturbances at
their pleasure, were the actors on this day as on
- the preceding, joined 'by a few whom they had
succeeded in seducing. We were affected and
scandalized at seeing among them a member of
the Municipality, who is affirmed to have loudly
excited them to fire at the troops. Among those
talcen with arms in their hands is an officer of the
mNitia, and they are all to be tried for having
assembled contrary to the express order -of the.
Political Chief, and for other excesses.
Meantime the Colonel of the militia was called
upon with threats by the armed militia of the 2d
• battalion, who wanted to have the generale'beat,
to promote the tumult, which he firmly refused,
but his 'orders and-persuasions could not induce
them to retire and cease to disturb the fete, which
was celebrated by order of the Political Chief.—
The latter having been abandoned by several
guards of the 2d. battalion, who refused to do any
duty, he summoned the Commanders, Captains, a
subaltern, and a soldier of each company of the
two battalions; and made them sign a paper,
whether they were willing or not, to obey the-
orders given them for the good of the country,
and in conformity to the oath taken to the Con,
stitution. Those of the first battalion were NVilj,
ing to conform to his intentions, and a very few
of the second.

The city was perfectly tranquil on the 10th and
lth, and remained so at ii p.m. when the courier
was dispatched.

The Government has also received an Address,
signed by a great number of the inhabitants of
Valencia, professing their Attachment to the
Constitution, their detestation of the agitators,
ho, they say, are few in number, and highly
disapproving of an Address .to the Cortes, by
another part of the inhabitants, which begins by
stating, that " the people of Valencia have seen,
with the highest satisfaction, the heroic efforts of
Cadiz. Seville, Corunna, Carthagena, Murcia,
&c." Both these pieces are printed in the Madrid
Ga:elle.

Accounts from Ceuta say, that Tetuan was
hard pressed by the Emperor, Muley Soliman,
but that the citizens held out, having received
notice from Muley Zeid that he was coming to
their relief. The troops of Soliman had behead-
ed a spy, taken with dispatches from Zeid to
Tetuan.

JAN. 17.—The Minister of War has made
known the King's satisfaction at the conduct of
General Velasco and of the Brigadier General
Sebastian, who have given an account of the full
execution of his Majesty's orders at Seville. The
former of these Generals has given up the mili-
tary command to the latter, and public tranquil-
lity was completely restored.—There is no longer
any doubt of the submission of Cadiz to the Go-
vernment.—The news from Valencia of the 11th

continues satisfactory.
The change of Ministry satisfies no person ;
sonic regard it as a dangerous concession, whilst
others consider the concession as by no means
sufficient. The thass of the Spanish people are
Rot unfriendly to the Constitution; on the con-

tart' they like the King and detest the dema-

gogues. A more able Ministry might and ought
to take advantage of this general disposition.
The Royalists in Navarre are dispersed. Bahia,
one of the three principal leaders, is taken ;
