LONDON JOIMINALS.

TROM MOIINING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.

[Morning Chronicle.]

A great deal of mystery hangs over the conduct
of O'Donoel io the Falai,' of the Cadiz Revolt,
and this begins to be expressed in Madiid letters.
It is cheer this Cl i f .was in the-secret of an exist-
ing conspitacylthat had many partizans and one
peculiar object. The troops'embarked for Lima,
more than a year and half ago, were also in the
secret. How have these elements of disaffection
been suffered to gain strength ? Though the
public has been ioturmed of the circumstances
which took plave, the causes which led to them
are still involved in great mystery, and possib'y
for some time they will remain so, for no one
dares to write no the subject from the scene of
action. We hale had an opportunity of seeing
no less than eight letters from Cadiz, dated up to
16th July, but no details whatever are given.—
This shews the dread and consternation that pre-
vails. They do mention that 2000 men were to
he sent to Morino, but still in the language of
doubt.
" MADRID, JULY IG. 'out will, no doubt, be
anxious to learn what has occurred at Cadiz, with
such other information as tnlr satisfy those who
seek nit the causes and results of events. 'll, in
reality, a concerted and well-or ganizt d plan of
extensive conspiracy existed, and Was in some
Way connected with the revolt among the military
at Port St. Nii,ty's, the conduct of O'Donnel is
certainly inexpbc,ble, lot he most have been in
it, as well as the Officers under his command.-
If, on the other hand. he has got this plot up,
Ilia ambition is so well known, that he most have
d oie it for the sake of obfainiug more hoonors and
distinctions. If the conspitacy was among the
military, it could ri,t be confined to the tew who
were disarmed, the greater part of the expedition-
' ary army must he infected. In that case, how
could he dare, or rather, of what use would it be,
to arrest a small or a given number of persons,
when he had at his command no other than
im-
plicated parties If symptoms had been pre-
viously cyinred, how is it o•Donnel waited so
lone., and n110,%e11 the evil to increase, so as at
last to destroy the very object the Government
had in view by the assembling of these troops ?
Another strange surmise is here afloat, viz. that
the measure adopted by the Commander in Chief
has arisen out of a wish to secure to himself the
command, of the duration of which some donhis
began to be entertained, in consetpience of cer-
tain jealousies, and other things of graver import.
For my own part I am greatly rrplexed, and so
is that small pottion of the Government lett in
the capital. An affair so boisterous and of such
unpottance, brought about by a Chief the most
immoral, ai.d possessed of no stride virtue except
courage, gives rise 0 various conjectures. Ooe
thing, hors-ever, is certain, and that is, that the
affair is only at the beginning It is only (Me
halo to the gland mine that hither.° lots hue')
&el. Among the joisonals are, General Cruz
Alurceou, the, two 'ate Migneles, Qu roga,
Llizizin, and many (Witt- distinguished men. In
the 111,ill time, the King is driaking the waters
of Sacedon, accompanier! by other Counsellots
than Salmon and Campnzano, the byte' of whom
you most remember in London, anti who, you
most be aware, arc not well suited for such ar-
duous moments."
