The prisoner had been seduced from her home by a gen-
tleman, under whose protection she had for some tame been
living, in the Regent's Park. He, however, a sl.ort time
back abandoned his victim, who thereby became plunged
into the deepest misery, when in a paroxysm of dc:p.tir she
rushed to the bank of the canal, and was in the act of
plunging into the stream, but was prevented from doing so
by police constable, 116 S, who had observed her frantic
movements.

The prisoner, who wept bitterly, promised not to repeat
the offence, and was delivered up to her parents, who are
respectable people in North-street, Marylebone.

" CIVIL GOVERNMENT OF THE PROVINCE OF
CADIZ."
" His Excellency the Commandant-General of the camp
of Gibraltar has remitted me by express a despatch, from
which it appears that public tranquillity has been disturbed
at Malaga. He was unable yesterday when he wrote to
furnish me with the necessary data for an exact detail of
the events, and consequently confined himself to the an-
nouncement of the appointment of a 'junta after the depo-
sition of the authorities. Desirous of acquiring all the
details of this event which were within my reach, I have
interrogated various individuals who have arrived here from
that city on board the steam-packet the Manchester.
From the relations I have gathered from them, I have
learned with the most profound grief that on the night of
the 25th, some evil disposed persons managed to excite
alarm in the city by beating to arms ; that Colonel San
Just, the military governor of the place, a veteran of the
glorious campaign of independence, distinguished on the
plains of Mendigorria and in the career of the liberties of
his country, while in the act of reprimanding the officer of
the guard. for permitting such an excess without orders,
fell a sacrifice along with the illustrious Conde de Donadio,
the Civil Governor, by the hands of assassins, who never
dared to show themselves in the ranks of honour and liberty
and who have now the impudence to proclaim the Consti-
tution of the year 12, sealing that proclamation with 'the
blood of those victims.
" Men of Cadiz !—Behold the sum of the events which
have occurred at Malaga since the night of the 25th. Al-
though I have no official notification of these events, yet,
being convinced of the correctness of the accounts, I judge it
right immediately to communicate them, because I am
filled with the profound grief which events so disastrous, so
fatal to liberty, and to the great body of Spaniards must na-
turally cause in you, who for so many years have struggled
for that liberty which is now threatened every moment by a
handful of immoral and sanguinary men. lam not anxious
to furnish you with an afflicting account, to fill your bosoms
with grief, but wish merely to prevent this intelligence from
_reaching you through other channels than your authorised
officers, and consequently in a distorted shape. I wish to
show you how great is the confidence I repose in you, and
how convinced I am that our enemies would in vain endea-
vour to provoke a repetition in the enlightened and illustri-
ous Cadiz of the scandalous excesses which they have suc-
ceeded in causing to be committed in a neighbouring province.
4' Men of Cadiz ! Notwithstanding the reports which
eviklisposed persons may have endeavoured to spread
among you within these few days, I, who am always so
satisfied of your prudence, of your love for liberty, have
not thought it necessary to adopt a single precautionary
measure. But now, since I have heard of the assassina-
tions of Malaga—since I behold stained with blood, with
innocent and Noble blood, the career whereby those men
who have presumed to rank themselves among the number
of true Reformers (progressistas), of true patriots, of those
who truly desire the liberty, the happiness, of the country,
have commenced their terrible history—now I am more
than ever assured of that felicity which is the lot of all
who are charged with the administration of public offices
among you. You will judge whether the course which a
handful of evil-disposed Malagans have adopted is the
course of progress ; you will deplore, as I do, the evils of
the country, and the dangers which threaten her ; but
you know for certain, that the terrible and bloody course
of which unfortunate Malaga has afforded the example, is
not the mode of remedying or preventing those evils and
dangers.
" Men of Cadiz! You have seen that in your immediate
neighbourhood a crime against the State, an attempt against
liberty, has been committed ; to you it belongs to correct
it as far as possible, to you it belongs to remedy the conse-
quences of this crime. You know how to effect this ; and
my only duty now is to bring the fact under your cogni-
zance, confident that your being informed of it will be
sufficient to secure the tranquillity of the entire province.

" THE MILITARY GOVERNOR TO THE NA

_ --
TIONAL GUARD.
" On the morning of yesterday I directed to be circulated
to the corps of the National Guard of this garrison the
order that the individuals who compose it should not as-
semble without previous intimation from the respective
captains, conveyed through the orderly officers of the com-
panies. I have learned with much dissatisfaction that some
evil-disposed persons have managed to have this order in-
terpreted perversely, and have spread reports that it Was
dictated by the distrust which they suggested I en-
tertained of the worthy Guard. When the National
Guard of Cadiz has given positive proofs of the
way in which it participates in the sentiments of the
whole neighbourhood—when these proofs could not but be
well known to me, it is hardly necessary to disclaim the int.
potation of such sinister and ridiculous rumours. Never-
theless I am pleased to have an opportunity of rendering to
the National Guard a public testimony of the confidence it
merits from me. I know very well that it is the best ele-
ment of order and security in this enlightened population,
and I reckon upon it as the surest pledge of tranquillity.
The desire I felt that the National Guard should not be
molested, nor the hononrableeitizens comprising it deprived'
of their quiet, through some evil-intentioned persons spread-
ing alarm, by taking advantage of the circumstances of the
moment, was the motile which induced me to promulgate
the above order, well convinced that the public tranquillity
would not be endangered, and that the co-operation of the
guard consequently would not be necessary. This security
alone induced me to issue the order, which was done with
the concurrence of
.the local authorities, convinced like my-
self that the illustrious people of Cadiz were not to be car-
ried away by an unhappy example, and that the quiet and
order of the place could never be more secure than at the
present mement.
" If, unfortunately, I should be mistaken, if new events
should make me fear what I have hitherto seen no reason
to fear, I shall seek your co-operation ; to you I shall ap-
peal ; on you rely ; and at the head of the civic force I ad-
dress, I would disregard the projects of a few deluded men,
even though their projects should be realized.

" VIVA LA CONSTITUCION
" Praise everlasting be given to the enlightened city of
Cadiz, to its National Guard, and to its authorities, who
with the most perfect order, and without outrage of any
kind, have re-established that fundamental code which had
its birth within our walls under the fire of a terrible and
powerful enemy. In fact its promulgaticn, for which every-
thing is prepared, will take place in the course of the morn-
ing of this day. We will give an account. of that memorable
ceremony, as well as of what occurred during last night, in
a supplement which will be published this afternoon?'
