The intelligence which has already appeared in
this Paper, of some kind of popular ferment at Se-
ville, which had occasioned the arrest of PALAFOX, a
member of the Supreme Junta, and brother of the
General of that name, has been circulated in various
forms. One report in circulation has dethroned the
Supreme Junta, and given the reins of Government
to a Regency, consisting of the Cardinal BOURBON,
the Duke del INFANTADO, ROMAN.;, and two others.
But this is merely an exaggerated statement of the
tact communicated in our Paper of yesterday.
A letter from Seville of the lEth ult. ult. speaks of
this affair in the following terms :
44 I have this moment been informed of the follow-
ing important circumsance, on the truth of which
you mly depend :—The greatest confusion prevails
in this city. PALAFOX, the brother of the heroic de-
fender of Saragossa, has been put under arrest. A

French officer of distinction has been detected here

in disguise. A summary vengeance was inflicted
upon him by the people, who strangled him in their
rage."

Another letter dated the 19th states, that PA LAVOX,
with six of his adherents, has been arrested and im-
prisoned at Seville, and it it is added, that they will be
speedily brought to trial. The nature of the crime of
which these persons are accused is not mentioned. We
I t-ar it will be found, that this revolution is of a very
different character from that which was so generally
anticipated. Instead of an insurrection of the people
against the Junta, it is a bold and hazardous experi•
T:ient of the Supreme Council, to criminate those who
hive been supposed the avowed advocates of the
iglus of the mass of the community ; and whether
the latter will silently acquiesce in this desperate
r :ensure of tile existing authorities, will probably be
ascertained by our next advices.
The army of LaMancha, commanded by A RESAJA,
crossed the Tagus on the I Sth, at Pucrte Duenaes,
and was rapidly advancing to the capital. On the

lSth, the French retired from the Puerte de Arzo,
bi:;po, on the Tagus, which position was immedi•
ateiy occupied by the Duke of ALBUQUERQUE with
;lit army of Estremadura, which is now reinforced to
13,000 foot and 1000 horse.

The Duke del PARQUE was on the 13th at Bejar,
on his march to join the Duke of ALBUQUERQUE of
the Tagus, at Arzobispo, by the route of Placentia.
—On their side, the French were concentrating their
f,'"CI2S at Toledo, and their army was estimated at
60,0(X) men.

A Gazette from Seville, dated the 18th ult. has
been received, containing the full details of the battle
of 'Pommes, hut no new facts, and nothing on the
subject of the transactions to which we have adverted
at the seat of the Spanish Government.
It has been confidently stated in almost all the Lon_
don papers, that a Spanish Officer had arrived at the
residence of Admiral APODACA, with dispatches from
Seville. No such Messenger has reached London,
and no dispatches whatever have been lately received
by the Spanish Ambassador.
