Cantz.—Letters of the 17th ult, were received
yesterday from Cadiz, but without commutlicaliog
111,101 athil!!0031 information on the Mate of the
city, or affording any distinct clue to the Origin or
the authors of the late massacre. Up to that day
the shops and the houses i..mained closed, few
persons venturing into the streets ; and Mercantile
transactions were 'so completely suspended, that
no hills were paid or indeed (offered for payment.
It appeals that, some time previously to the fatal
10th of Match, the inhabitaots of Cadiz had been
called on to. deliver up what sibrcs and fire-arms
they had in their possession, aml were forbidden
to appear io public with the long knife usually
worn by the lower orders, which is tendered in
their hands, by peculiar dexterity in its use, a
most formidable awl dangerous weapon. Deprived
of this defence. they fell an easy prey to the fury
and brutality of the soldiery. They had subse-
quently, however,again eqaipped themselves with
those and other means of defence, and had accu-
mulated in their houses qaatitaies of bricks and
stones, so that there was reason for supposing,
had the troops manitested any disposition to re-
new the attack, that a general massacre of the
military would have taken place. This spirit had
already discovered itself in individual acts of re-
venge, particularly by the gypsies, mho, in Cadiz,
exercise the more laborious desetiption of trades,
and who are said to have des, toyed seventy men of
the regiment of Guia, the leaders in the tragical
deeds of the 10. h. They would have dispatched
more of them, had not those troops been removed
by night, and carried across the hay to Piot St.
Mary's. A considerable portion of the garrison,
it is said, have been removed in a similar foamier.
Notice was giten that the Constitution woold be
proclaimed on the 18!h, hut the Civil Authorities
wete determined not to attend any solemnity of
that nature till the whole of the troops were re-
moved from the city. The following passage in
one of the letters, if coirect, would fix a large
share of guilt upon Campana, who was early
named as one of the Au! hors :-'' 1.0 crown the in-
famy of General Campana, he gave thanks to his
abominable companions and friends in arms, as
lie calls them, for their conduct on the 10th----a
day of general massacre; and yet this monster is
still at the bead of affairs !" 'According to letters
from Madrid, O'Donoin, th.e Governor of Seville,
had been appointed to the Captain-generalahip of
Audalusia,atn. it was supposed would preside over
an investigation into the unhappy affair of Cadiz.
These letters ctratain no mention of Preyre; and,
what is still more remarkable, are as silent con-
cerning Qairoga, and the troops iu the Isle of
Leon, as it they had never existed. The number
of persons killed On the 10;11 is, now stated to be
as follows: 371 men, 29 women,,and 36 chil-
dren'. No names have hitherto beenyublished,
but they are supposed to have been chiefly of die
lower ranks.
