PAU'S, Atm. Q 4.— Th r
e King heard Mass m
'his apartments, and afterwards gave private au-
diences to his Royal Highness the Prince of Saxe
Cubu.rg, to Baron Werther, the Prussian Minis-
ter, and to the Chevalier de Brit°, the Portu-
guese Minister.
His, Excellency Count Villele transacted busi-
T/Plit wlitt the King.
The. following is the report of Don Joseph
`O'Donnell, Corninander•in-Chief of the Army
'befere Gibraltar :
".Aperlidious faction, composed of about 200 Spanish Re.
`fogies -and other obscure individuals of the town of Gibraltar,
bariag taken arms, prepared an expedition, under the com-
mand of the Ex-Colonel Francisco Valdez. This troop having
embarked in the Bay, succeeded in seizing on the town and
•• island of Tarifa, surpriiing its weak garrison just as it opened
the gate on the 3d inetant, at day-break.
" Detachments of infantry and cavalry, under the command
of Col. Joseph Rarrados, marched immediatelyfrom Algesints
towards Tarifa. tic immediately blockaded the place by land,
the rebels not daring to attempt a sally. On the evening.of the
tith, a French bt igatle of all arms, commanded by Gene-
ral Count Astorg, arrived in the camp. The blockade was
then made much stricter, and at the same time three French
ships of war, & Spanish schooner, and four armed boats from
Alsgetitras, appeared before the port, so that till means of retreat
for these criminals are cut off. They have not enough provisions
to hold out in the place, and fresh troops arc arriving speedily
to chastise their presumption. Public tranquillity has not been
interrupted a moment throughout all this district, notwith-
standing the false runionrs spread at Gibraltar by the agents of
the Revolutionists, who ritliculcmsly threatened our whole line
with a general attack, announcing other landings to the east of
Gibraltar. Nothing of all this has happened.
" The faithful troops of the King, who occupy this camp,
. have been reinforcer) this night by the provincial battalion of
Seville. 'The whole population is eager nerevenge itself for the
insult which these traitors offer it, by supposing they may find
accomplices among it. The brave Mountaineers of La Ronda
have risen in a mass to oppose every criminal attempt. In
,Abort his Majesty's service is not ex eyed to any sort of danger
,in this part of his dominions. ` Vive le Roi l' Let all his
thithful servants be vigilant, to discover whether this plot,
'which has no ramifications here, may not have some in other
.places. (Signed) " J. O'DONNELL."
Tarifa would have already fallen into our power, if the Spa-
nish cannon which our troape, had found there hail been fit for
the service. All the outer walls are in our possession, but the
gittea towing been walled up, it has been necessary to wait for
cannon from Cadiz 4 they must now have arrived there. Two
of our vessels, hindered by the currents, had stopped at Alge-
sirae.
Manntn, Alto. 12.—( Private Letter.)—General O'Don-
nell, by a report, informed the Minister, that whilst Areguln
(a physician of Cadiz), Calatrava, and others, remained at li-
berty in Gibraltar, apprehensions were to he entertained from
the Liberal party, which was working to revive Itself. He
eherged the (inventor with being privy to the conspiracy. Upon
the strength of this report, the Minister dispatched a note to Sir
• VV. A'Cnurt, which gave this latter great offence. lie went
.himself to seek the Spanish Minister, to whom he expressed
hie astonishment that the Spanish Government would place any
tidal in the representations of a man of no character, as O'Don-
nell was. He explained that the Governor of Gibraltar was
al ways a Prince of the blood, or one of the principal men of the
country, and that if such n potion wished to excite trouble, lie
had other means in abundance at his disposal, without being
obliged to use such contemptible instruments as Spanish revs"-
.lutionists ; that he enneldered the report an offence to the
gnglish nation, and that he should make hie report upon it.—
However this may be, Sir W. ,%'Court has, in fact, left ror
. Lisbon, and the Portuguese Ambassador has come here.
Seville letters state that the COI and 7th of the month were
days of general alarm in that city. It anneaeea Ow the Go.
vernor hail received information that the Revointioniste, to the
number of NO, under the orders of leale,arcel, a Lieutenant
of
Riego, had peeseseed themselves of Irmatut and )Tries, and
•thet it was Their intention to -"nevelt upon Seville. Ile ace
cordingly counted the gates to hr atut.atintlf-past four at. noon.
Many of the inhabitants who had been bathing In the river
were lett Posta,. The troope ware putseneortrrorts, as well as
the Royalist volunteers. Tha people seized etivetal who were
supposed to he attached to the system, and led them to the
barbers, where' they had their heads shaved, in order that
-;n future they should he more easily recognized. On the llth
the remainder of the garrison .went in search of the enemy,
but it turned out to he a false alarm. Another letter men.
tines that five Englieli vessels of the line had passed on
their way to the Strait, but the Cadiz letters are silent on this
subject.
A courier, arrived from Cadiz yesterday evening, brings in-
telligence that the Reyolutinniete, who had surprised the City
of Tarifa on the morning of the 3tl, had been hotly permed,
and that many were already oyeetaken and shot. The measures
taken are so effectual that none of then' can escape.
Sir W. A "Court's journey to ',Mon hats led to the obeerva-
don that this diplomatist is ldtely to play a part in all the es-
Titale which are or have been in a state of ebullition. Already
has he been in this way at Naples and Madrid.
