SPAIN.

THE KING'S REMOVAL.
.The.accounts of the re►Ooval of FLIIDI NAND
from Seville to Cadiz have hitherto been very
imperfect. The following particulars collected
from Spanish journals supply some interesting in-
fmmation on this subject :

'The first business transacted be, the -Provisional- Regency
after their appointment on the- night of the 11th, was the re,
placing of the Secretaries of State, to which they at first object-
ed with much pertinacity. At last, after cousidprable difficul-
ties, they resumed their functions at five in the morning of the
12th, thereby shoring (lays the Espeetador) that "the feelings
of offended self.love, as well as other 'considerations more or
less founded, were all to be sacrificed on the altars of the coun-
try, and more particularly in circumstances so critical.", ;Senor
Pando, one of the Secretaries, was absent from indisposition;
but, notwithstanding. the delicate state of his health, he fol-
lowed the Cortes to Cadiz; and resumed • the . duties of his de-
partment .there.
At eight in the morning of the 12th, Don Gabriel Ciscarenne
•of the members of the Regency, waited on the King, explain-
ed to his Majesty what had been done up to that time, .and
pointed out the necessity of his proceeding on that day. to the
Isle of Cadiz. The King.received the Regent very graciously,
and informed him that he was ready to undertake the journey,
upon which Don Gabriel withdrew.
While the preparations for the removal were in progress, mes-
sages were repeatedly 'interchanged between. the Regency and
the C,ortea; and General Espinosa was appointed, to command
the escort. At one o'clock the troops of the line and the Ma-
drid and Seville militia were tinder arms and ready to march ;
the baggage was shipped on hoard of vessels in the river, and
every thing was arranged for a prompt departure. But at four
o'clock it was said that his Majesty, notwithstanding he had in
the morning stated to Senor Ciscar that he was ready to under-
take the journey, now refused to move. This report , excited
'great discontent, and some unfortunate events were anticipated.l
At five o'clock the troops drew up in u line extending from the
Alcazar to the-extremity of the city. General Espinotat passed
frequently .along the line, and every preparation appeared to
be complete, but still the agitation continued, At last,. about
six o'clock, the household coaches began to be put in Motion. I
In about half an hour after, the *King and the Royal Family
entered their carriages, and, followed by their suite, drove oft'
towards Utrera. The nuist perfect tranquillity prevailed on this
occasion in Seville.
• DISTURBANCES AT SEVILLE.
After the King and Royal Family were removed, the Con-
stitutional Alcade ordered an 'illumination, and respectable
householders were called out to patrol the streets. The
illumi-
nadon, perhaps, contributed to promote the disturbance which
followed,- symptoms of which had shown themselves at one
'point during the day. In the forenoon of the 12th a multitude
of vagabonds,' including a large ;proportion of Gipsies and
Monks, began to plunder the boats in the river.' This rabble
increased, in the evening; and many individuals were insulted
and robbed, and some killed. During the night the tumult
augmented, and various houses were pillaged ; in the me in
time the Giralda* was magnificently illuminated. • On the
morning of the the robberies and assassinations were re-
newed, and continued until-% party of the Queen's Regiment
and the Artillery, whiclehad been left for a garrison, marched:tO
Triatia, and dispersed the mob with some fusilides ; six of
them'were killed. This tumult was chiefly excited and kept
Up by the influence of priests. The phinderers were led on with
CMS of " Viva rernando'%--" Viva la Religion"e.-c Viva la
Inquisition."
A letter from Seville, after noticing the Affair between the
troops of Lopez Banos and the factious on the Ifith, states
that a number of boxes of powder had 'been deposited in the
house formerly occupied by the 'lnquisitioe, under the care
of an officer and a party of soldiers. It was reported among
the mob, that the casks were filled with •money,' and they
forced their way in, threatening to kill the officer and the
guard, that they might get poSsession of the dollars. The officer
put a match to the powder, arid blew up that part of the build-
ing. A great number of the mob were buried' in the ruins.—.
About HQ were dug out on the 16th, and among the dead were
several friars.
THE PLOT TO CARRY OFF THE KING.
This plot, which has been mentioned in the French papers,
is alluded to in the Cadiz journals, but no minute details are
given We • find it, however, stated in the•Eseeciaor of the
113th ult., that Sir John Downie, and eighteen other persons,
were apprehended on a 'charge of conspiring to destroy the
Constitutional GoVernment. In a longeiolitical • article in the
game paper, a passage to the following' effect occurs :-." We
have to observe; that if the petriots most compromised in the
Constitutional' system have not fallen ' into the power of their
feroCiotia enemies, it' is because the grand political stroke at-
tempted at Cad iz.failed. This ferocious conspiracy to get pos-
session of the person of'the King, to assassinate the Cortes, and
'the brave national militia, was opportunely discoVered. by the
-zeal and patriotisei of two • mirth), Spaniards,: Don 'Braulio
Lopez,. clerk in the Wm-office, anti Don Francisco Mancha,
("Apt= of the 'military guard of Seville, to whom the country
owes 4 special tribute of gratitude."
We know not whether the following paragraph has reference
to some other plot—it is sufficiently mysterious
" We have heard a variety of remarks this evening (June 17)
respecting the approach to this port (Cadiz) of one English
and three French ships of. war. Every one tells; the story in
his own way, and we, who wish to ascertain the truth, have
obtained this information French ship of the line, a
frigate, and a brigantine; stood in towards the castles of this
'fortress and that of San Sebastian. The frigate was fired on.
and immediately stood off; The three French 'ships remained
in Sight until twilight. At six o'clock in -the evening, two (Ali,
cerieof the navy landed, and, followed by a great num-e
her of persons, proceeded to pave- an interview with one of the
Siaireutries of State."
