SPANN!! I'ERS.

Drc.9.—There are people who will
absoliitely persist in affirming that we are to be
invaded by the Calmucks, and among these,
people there 'are individuals who. attribute the
arguments of those .writers who endeavour jo dis-
pel the apprehensions of such a danger to an in-
tention of relaxing the energy of the Spaniards.
Last night, in a patriotic society, there was a
person who_expressed this absurd and extraor-
dinary idea, • falling at the conclusion of his dis-
course into the usual theme of persecution and
extermination against a certain class .of persons.
By what fatality have individuals, known only
for their furious extravagance, the unhappy pro-
pensity to speak in public, and to seek to exalt
the vindictive passions, which may be of such
horrible consequences to their country
seems that the English Minister this morning re-
ceived a courier from his Government:

CADIZ,' DEC..,).-At one o'clock in the morn-
ing of this day, a colJection • of people was ob-
served in the Square of the Constitution, and
groups of people, thechief subject of whose con-
versation. was, ,that it was proper to remove,
from ecclesiastical employment, from the admi-
nistration of justice and various civil offices, those
who held them in this city, and who had noto-
riously ill conducted the.nselves in the preceding
period, or were disaffected to the. Constitutional
system. The Ist Alcade appeared to calm this
tumult, and at first seemed to succeed, but about-
noon there' was a convention at the gates of the
Chapter-house, where three individuals entered
and declared to the first Sypdic, N.vho was there
with several Magistrates, that. the people who
were assembled desired, the return of. General'
Rafael del Reig6 to this:eay, and. that.speedy
justice should be done in the cause relative to
the events of the' lOth of March. At this time
the Alcade arrived, and together with the Syndic,
requested these individuals to inform the peo-
ple that the Municiiiality, 'which was to- meet,
immediately, would take their petitions into con-
sideration, and deliberate what was proper to be'
done, according to the Constitution and the Laws.
At the request of- the three individuals the Alcade
and the Syndic went into the Balcony, and. ad-
dressed'the persons assembled, to the aboveeffect,
. adding, that the mode of representation which
they proposed was not conformable to the Con-
stitution. Their harangue was interrupted by a
general cry of Justice, ,Justice.! which; being ap-
peased they made other observations,. on which,
as they seemed more peaceabh:, the Alcade
went into the street, and. persuaded them. of the
confidence which they ought to have in their Mu-
nicipality, whieh,; in. a. popular authority ,would
not neglect to attend to subject which was con-
sidered to be itnportatat tO the welfare and sectirityof
the nation and the people;, and that therefore tltey
ought to be appeaSed and to. retire, whiCh they in
fact did. Some time after this their' Political
chief arrived, who, with the Municipality, held

An txtraordinary Council on these e"vents,.wl►iclh'
lasted till four o'clock, and was adjou-rned till
six. At present the greatest tranquillity pre-
vails.— All has ended Without Any excesses.. The
authorities have displayed a degree of zeal and
energy, which does them honour. The riotous.
seem to have intended to irritate the people of
Valencia. His Excellency the political chief
O'llonoju has issued an excellent Proclamation
on this occasion, in which he says he•considers it
an high honour to be appointed Governor of a
city which was the cradle of the Constitution,
that he had persuaded himself that if it might be
necess'ary, at his time of life, to give the citizens
advice; they would, never want reproof. tate
events, however, renders it necessary for hien to
warn them not to tarnish their glory, by deviat-
ing from the tight path ; and though he is per-
suaded that this will suffice to make those few
perso►►s, whose i►idiscretion has. carried them too
far, desist from their designs; he must provide for
the public tranquilliCy, and consequently fol bids
all tumultuous meetings subverSive of public
order and tranquillity.
