and punish, as I shall most undoubtedly do, with &lithe rigor
of the military lawn any disorder. whatever it may be, Mid
may in the slightest degree disturb the public tranquillity. Ihs
rigorous discipline which I shall order to be maintained by G.
troops under my command, will be the surest guarantee of tie
firm resolution which I have taken narrowly to watch over de
tranquillity and security of the inhabitants of this heroic capital,

EVENTS Olt TIIIITERDAY EVENING. •
All the inhabitants of this heroic capital, in the
midst of uncertainty and pain, were yesterday trai-
quil, on account of the confidence which they have is
the patriotism and virtues of the Commander-ip
Chief; and the more so as scarcely any one was igno•
rant of the capitulation agreed to by him and his Es.
cellency the Commander of the French army, when,
contrary to the expectations of every man in his senses,
a column of more than a thousand infantry and
'airy, commanded by Bessieres, presented itthe at
the gate of Alcala, one of the entrances into Madrid
This Chief detached there a party of ten lancers to
reconnoitre, who reached as far as the Custowhour,
with a fei inhabitants, who were uttering dreadful
cries. This unexpected event obliged our General to
order a company to advance, which, after firing on
the aggressors, compelled them precipitately to retreat
as far as the Cibeles, where Bessieres was statioiled;
This General himself (Bessieres) immediately Came
forward to speak to the Commander of tile Company,
who observed to him - that he most retreat, and tit
he could not keep the position he occupied withcot
violating one of the Articles of the Capitalation
con-
cluded with the Chief of the French Army. It is to
the latter alone (said Zayas), that the place shall be
given up ; besides, according to the Laws of War, die
Capitulation should be scrupulously observed. Iftbe
French General were informed of what passes be

desire to preserve public tranquillity, and offers:dos
his own soldiers to attain that object.
In spite of reasons so solid, Bessieres answered.

enter Madrid, though he should do so-by mail, facer
Our excellent Commander, Zayas, then replied—
" Place yourself at the head of your column and fight I
If you conquer you shall enter Madrid, but not nobs' •
wise." In consequence our General, Zayas, gave the
promptest and most opportune orders for the ConeFi•
tutional troops to attack the column of Basietell
which kept up a warm fire from the gate of Alcah.
Our garrison drove back the enemy's troops, babe-
tween the two Venters the latter made a sea. d, aai
a general action ensued. Our artillery
having fired
six rounds very a-propos, threw disorder into the rank,
of our enemy. A squadron of cavalry, commanded
by D. Barthelemy Amor, charged theta and shref
them into complete route. The result of tbiv attk,
has been about eighty men killed, a great number
wounded, and 700 prisoners. Liessieres was lomat.
enough to get off with six or eight horses. At bevel
o'clock a French Officer entered the city a ith a gig
of truce; it is asserted he brings au offer of troops'

The spirit of that Province is very good. Gal-

*Besides the Church ptate which they have taken
away, the Liberals have made almost everywhere
mown: requisitions in money, horses, &c.
