(PRIVATE LEVITIL)
Ere this von will have received information of our
i.,;ve Melchor, whose military strength was so alarm-
„l,, to the Audiencia of Caceres, that they deter.
;::ed to make the best of their way off, thinking it
t..,.:: advisable to take refuge '' ithin the walls of this
:-.:s. Ile has acquired a great reputation in the

~;qrtion of two months, he will be at the head of
,r,..ricctable division, a7nl if things are in readiness
.ewhere, march oa Madi.i.l. Previous to the late
.r..rsion near Cadiz, he only commanded 2:50 men,
7 :tiered about M guelijas oa various points, who
as chcmstauces iequire, in order to make

..:. •1, to look alter them. Melchor's men always
best is these skirmishes, and with this ail-
that they seldom come in sight of the Kint,'s
1,,i-s witaout having some deserters front them.
t,;,: the Estremenians who were among the 7,0(K)
~.;,1 dispersA by O'Donnel, reached their homes,
:ivate,:t part of them have joined Melchor, so
.ci has now seven or eight hundred men, though

Id be wanting to their own most sacred rights,
to th• :r fame and heroism, if they allowed Fer-
ion to complete his work of extermination, and
this fierce usurperany longer to abuse that excess '
hi:h hr has hitherto been tolerated. The dis-

L without of Spain have been addressed to him,
inner in which he tramples on our property and

tic acs of the great Spanish nation, have gone on
rrier of brass between him and the people—that
pie, who through the medium of their represen-
lea,ed to acknowledge him as a Constitutional
as an Absolute 31onarch ; and since he himself
mils, as well as all the bonds which united him
i, clear that he has dethroned himself.
in the face of Goo and the whole universe we
