In the Sitting of the Cortes on the 26th instant,
the President (Riego) made a proposition tending to
prohibit the cries of a Vim Rice," which appeared
to have given rise to disagreeable scenes in various
parts of the Peninsula. This proposition was re-
jected by the majority of Exaliados, although strongly
defended by General Alava and M. Arguelles.
In the Sitting of the 28th, the Deputies from the
province of Cadiz presented a petition, signed by a
great number of citizens of the capital of the pro-
viace, pitying that the petition might be ithmediately
transmitted to the Committee on Commerce, to con-
sider as to opening that port, which 'was the prayer
If the petition.

would result to the province, and to the nation in
general, if Cadiz was declared it free port.—The pro-
position was adopted.
