FROMGIBRALTAR CHRONICLES ON JAN. 27 AND 28.

On the 22d inst. M. Jaurequi laid down the civil
command of the province of Cadiz, which he held ad
interim, and it was assumed immediately by Don Joa-
chim Escario.

M. Jaurequi took leave of the garrison and inhabi-
tants of Cadiz in two Proclamations, in one of which
he legged the former to accept the assurances of his
heartfelt gratitude for the wonderful moderation
which they displayed in the late crisis—a moderation
which saved the province from the greatest calamities;
and in the other, congratulated the latter on the ap-
pointment of the worthy Magistrate who was to suc-
ceed him, and who had given such striking proofs of
his devotion to the Constitutional System, in the
dungeons into which he was thrown in 1814, and of
his eminent merit, in the discharge of the duties
of the situation of Civil Governor of Burgos, which
he had filled for the last two years.
Jaurequi's successor also addressed the inhabi-
tants of the province on entering upon the exercise
of his functions. He stated himself greatly flattered
by his appointment to so high a situation in the dis-
trict of the Peninsula, which has been the cradle of
freedom, and happy that the differences, which were
on the point of plunging the nation into the horrors
of civil war, were at an end—expressed a confidential
hope that the restored tranquillity would be of long
duration, and assured them that he would omit no
means in his power to promote their welfare.
Besides the late Captain-General, the Town Coun-
cil of Seville have been compelled by the mob to expel
from that city one of its Magistrates, Don Isodoro
de Velasco.

The eldest troop of Yeomanry Cavalry in Scotland has been
renewing its youth and strength. The let, or Salton troop of
East Lothian Yeomanry, to the command of which Joan ANDill.
sox, Esq. of Wbitburgh, was lately appointed, and who has
been so successful in recruiting, as to add nearly twenty new
members to the troop, with the prospect of still further In-
creasing its numbers. The troop owed its origin to the patriotic
and spirited conduct of a few farmers In the village of Salton
and its neighbourhood, several of whom are yet members of the
troop, whose offer to clothe and equip themselves, under the
command of Sir James Banta, was at once accepted by
,Go-
vernment. At an extra drill, a few days ago, at Salton, the
non-commissioned Officers and privates took the opportunity of
giving a dinner to their Captain, whose enthusiasm in the cause,
joined to the most gentlemanly manners, renders their every
duty a pleasure. The dinner, wines, and accommodation pro-
vided by Mr. Swncron, would have done credit to any town In
Scotland, and was a singular proof, as the old troopers remarked,
bow much the village of Sakon had partaken in the Improve-
ments and conveniences of the present century.
