matic perversion of truth in all the ,French ac-1
coents from Spain, that we hesitate to give credit
to a story which is certainly not the least impro-
bable of the innumerable irtprobabilities and
falsehoods by which he accounts of the preient
campaign have been' distinguished.—The Ma-
drid _news from Port St., Mary slates that all the
male population of Cadiz, between the ages of
16 and 60, have been ordered to take up arms
for the defence of the city. It was but
the other day that we were told that the
Constitutional Government was so apprehen-
sive of an insurrection, that cannon were
planted in the streets to overawe, the in-
habitants ! Now, it appears that they have
compelled those very-- inhabitants, whose dis-
affection was notorious, to take up arms, for the
purpose, we suppose, of enabling them to butcher
the authorities who have been so insane as to

arm treason against themselves!

"Carolina, Sept.lB.
• "To His Excellency the Minister of War."
The ordinary Gazette of the 18th gives no far,
ther account of the taking of DIEGO but exults
on that event in these terms :
" The notice of the taking of the counterfeit hero, itiego,.
which was yesterday announced by an extraordinary Gazette,
bat filled with joy the heroicpeople of Al adrid. • They see ren-
dered powerless and delivered up to.the law,. a man who, not.
withstanding his Incapacity for great enterprises, the anarchic
faction had selected' to serve as a standard under which might
be assembled amultltude of those imprudent and evil disposed
men who contribute to support the faction, and aid it in put.
ting in practice the infamous means adopted to carry its Object,
and of which all Europe has been witness. For his own part,
the hero himself has done all the direct mischief of which he
was capable. This the city of Malaga experienced to its cost
when he could no.longer continue to act the ridiculous charity-
.ter lie.hadra.ssumed, and which he performed so ill as to draw
down npon him the mockery and contempt of even his own fol-
lowers. We might say much more on this event, but we re-
spect:the situation Of a delincnient when under the power of the
law, And we now merely
visible call the attention of our readers to this
dispensatiOn of Divine Providence, which caused the
loudly boasted Riego to fall into the hands of some men be-
' longing to a simple and worthy population, totally unacquaint-
ed with the delusive exhortations and flattering promises of this
perretual preacher offalsehpod and perjury."

tracted. from the same ordinary Gazette :
