CADIZ, FEBRUARY :22.

Early in the morning of this day, the people were
observed in great commotion. The cause was, their
aversion to the proposed introduction of the corps of
Poles, Swiss, and other foreigners, enlisted into the
service of the Spanish nation, from among the priso-
ners made at the capitulation of Baylen, into the town
and fortifications of Cadiz. The people had already
taken up arms to resist by force the entrance of those
foreigners. It was conceived that it was intended to
disarm the volunteers of Cadiz, and to send them into
other quarters, as had been proposed at Port St.
Mary's also. Their first act of violence was to stop a
courier, charged with dispatches for the Marquis de
from the Junta at Seville. As soon as infor- '
mation of these proceedings was conveyed to the
Commanding Officer of the British troops (Major-
General Mackenzie), lie sent orders to the ships, for-
bidding all Officers who were on board to come on
shore ; and those who were already in the town, re-
! ceived directions not to interfere in any manner with
the people.
About one o'clock, the Marquis de Villel was
arrested—by the interposition of Padre Moguer, a
Capuchin Friar, who undertook to produce his person
if proofs of treason could be found among his papers,
he ova indulged with being confined ix the Convent
of the Capuchins.
About this time, in consequence of a representation
from the Governor, Don Felix Jones, to the Com-
mander of the British forces, an Aide-de-Camp of
the British General was sent, accompanied by others
who could speak the Spanish language ; to give an
assurance, that the British troops would by tr.)
means interfere in the domestic concerns of the people;
but were ready to assist in defending the town against
the common enemy." These assurances gave infi-
nite satisfaction.

About three o'clock on the same day (the 22d),
the people became again very tumultuous, from the
idea that the town was betrayed, and that measures
were secretly arranged, by those at the head of af-
fairs, for putting it into the hands of the enemy.
They declared that nothing should satisfy them on
this head, short of a positive and explicit declara-
tion from the English themselves, on whose honour
and good faith they had the most perfect reliance,
that they would assist in the defence against the
common enemy. It was requested particularly, that
two British Officers, one of them of the artillery,
should be appointed to inspect the fortifications, in
conjunction with two Spanish Officers, and to su-
perintend and direct the preparations for defence.)
—This was complied with, and had the effect of
perfectly quieting the people, who dispersed, and
retired to their homes, amidst loud vivas in favour of
George 111. Ferdinand VII. the British and Spanish
Nations.

On the 23d, a proclamation was issued by the Go- I
vernor, and the Father Guardian of the Capuchins
(whose sanction was necessary to confirm the assur-
ances given in the name of the civil power), contain-
ing pledges for the adoption of every measure desired
by the populace for the defence and security of the
town. The Marquis de Villel had rendered himself
personally suspected, by releasing several of the per-
sons confined on the ground of being attached to the
French interest. He had interposed very injudici-
ously in the amusements of the people, which being
always marked with allusions to the circumstances of
the present time, acclamations to Ferdinand, to Li-
berty and Independence, it was supposed this hosti-
lity was directed against these acclamations of liberty
and loy.►lty in particular.
The Marquis had carried this interference so far
as to confine some ladies in the House of Industry,
and to threaten others with the same disgraceful. pu-
nishment; and this outrage on respectable females,
rendered the people so furous against him, that no-
thing but the veneratic n in which the Capuchins are
held could afford him security.
About twelve this day the populace proceeded to
the castle of Santa Catalina, and demanded the per-
son of General Caraffa, late second in command of
the Spanish troops employed in Portugal, and an-
~•othcr prisoner confined there, both of whom they
meant to put to death. But by the interposition of
Col. Roche, who had just arrived from Seville, and
another British officer—they were induced to desist.
Shortly after, however, they seized Don Joseph He-
redia, who had a few hours been dismissed from
his office c.,f Collector of the Public Rents, and killed
him on the spot. Ile was just stepping into a boat,
to make his escape to Port St. Mary.—The rest of
that day passed without any ft then tumult. _
24.—The town appears very quiet this morn-
ing, and it is hoped no further disturbance will take
place,

The following Proclamation was issued at-Cadiz
on the 23d tilt. for the purpose of appeasing the peo-
ple at the height of the ferment :
The King our Lord Ferdinand VII. and in his Royal name
Don Felix Jones, Field Marshal of the Royal Armies, and Pro-
visional Governor of this place, &c. See.
Considering the discontents and disturbances which have been
manifested in this city, the inhabitants of which have demanded
several things as essential to their private and public safety, and
to the exercise of their liberty and national independence ;—and
keeping in mind their loyalty and patriotism at all times, but par-
ticularly under the present circumstances, as well as the good and
signal services they have done, and are daily doing, in support of
the good cause which they defend, at the great and daily hazard
of their lives and fortunes, decree as follows :
1. That the above-mentioned Lord Governor, in the presence,
and with the consent of the most Reverend Father, Guardian of
the Capuchins, has resolved, at the request and instance of the
people, that the following persons shall be dismissed from their
respective offices and employments, viz. Don Joseph and Don
Manuel de Heredia, the Licentiate Don Joseph de Castro y Ca-
billas, and Don Joseph de Dios de Landabura ; and in case the
same people shall think it desirable to suppress the Junta of Go-
vernment, and shall express its wish to that purport, without dis-
turbance or disorder, by the voice of its Syndic and Speaker, the
desire shall be immediately carried into effect.
2. That the most vigilant and effectual attention shall he be-
stowed in the detection of traitors, in order to guard against all
danger of collusion with the enemy, taking measures, at the same
time, to prevent all personal grievances, and making all necessary
provisions for the effectual defence of this place, either by its own
inhabitants, or by troops of the nation, without admitting any fo-
reign troops of any description whatsoever.
3. That, for the greater satisfaction of the public, some effece
the officers of the artillery and engineers, belonging to the troops
of our intimate and faithful ally the British nation, which has so
zealously assisted us, shall be invited to examine the points and
works of this place and its dependencies, and that every thing ne-
cessary• for the defence shall be concerted with them.
4. That, considering that the people of Cadiz are ill satisfied
with the Most Excellent Signor, the Marquis of Villel, Member
of the Central Junta, and its Representative in this city, in pur-
suance of which dissatisfaction he was, on the 22d instant, arres-
ted and confinell in the Monastery of the Rev. Capuchin Fathers;
and that it has been required that a speedy examination of his pa-
pers should take place, it is resolved, that the same shall he exe-
cuted without delay, in the most proper manner and form.
5. That as it appears the public discontents have in a great
measure arisen from the reserve that has hitherto been maintain-
ed with respect to the circulation of ptiblic news, care shall be
taken to give ample satisfaction on this head, by circulating, with
the greatest care and punctuality, every thing that shall occur.
6. And lastly, the enlistment of the inhabitants for the provin-
cial regiment of Cuidad Rodrigo, shall cease till further consider-
ation, and the persons in authority shall be consulted as to the
best means of putting the garrison of this place and its defence, in
the most effective state ; for which purpose it is provided and or-
dered, that the distinguished volunteers, the light troops, and the
companies of artillery, shall remain in the place, and that no part
of them shall be ordered away, and the reports spread by evil-
disposed persons as to its being intended to disarm them, or to
send then: to the camps, are declared to be utterly false.
And in order that this may come to the more immediate know-
ledge of the public, and contribute to the general satisfaction, by
its tendency to restore the confidence due to the authorities, and
put a stop to all disturbances, and restore tranquillity, without
which the law cannot take its course, it is ordered that the pre-
sent decree shall be placarded in all public places.
