of ill-treatment. Soon after their ,assembling, the
military, foi the major part intoxicated, entered and,
fired upon the peaceable inhabitant* destroying them:
without discrimination, cld' or young, women and
children. The town was giveri up to pillage, and
the brutality of a drunken soldiery. .
" llteadful as it has been, however, I consider the
horrors are not ended, and so strongly am I per-
suaded of the determination of the people to be re-
venged, that I am hourly expecting a more horrid
scene than the tragedy of the 10th. I intendqUitting
Cadiz, if possible, for Gibraltar, as it will be a long
time before order can be re-established. All is fear
and confusion, and never did I witness anything
similar."

“ CADIZ, MARCH 14.
” Since Friday last, we have been in a state little
short of anarchy. The publication of the Constitu-
tion has been resisted by the garrison, who alleged
that the Decree of the King had been exacted from
him by force, and the morning of the 10th, ap-
pointed for the ceremony, was changed into a scene
of massacre and confusion. The troops, of course,
prevailed, as the populace were taken by surprise;
but we much apprehend a repetition of the same
scene, in which the result may be different. All
the houses are closed, nor does any one venture
into the streets."

" SEVILLE, MARCH 15.
" Cadiz is in a dreadful state, and we are not
without apprehensions that similar scenes will be ex-
bitited here. Freyre proclaimed the Constitution at
Cadiz on the 9th, and, on the following day, col-
lected nearly all the people to witness the conclusion
of the ceremony, to which all the foreign Consuls
were invited. In the midst cf it, without any pre-
' vious intimation, the un„offending people- were fired
upon,. and charged with the bayonet, the soldier y
not even sparing.women and children : four hundred
killed lay in the streets, and nine hundred were taken
to the hospitals. Freyre, the nest day, fled to Purt
St. Mary's, his head-quarters, whence he issued or-
ders to the Governoi,s of all the towns in Andalusia,
calling on them to abjure the Constitution, although
the oath, by his own (ruler, had been taken on the
9th. General O'Donoja, our Governor, received the
order of abjuration on the 11th ; but, instead of com-
municating it to any one, sent back for answer,
" that an oath once taken, must be adhered to, and
that it was not to be assumed or cast off like a part
of chess:' I think, therefore, that Seville will re-
main true to the Constitution. Valdes, Campana,
and Colonel Barrotelo, are said to be instigators of
the affair at Cadiz. _

P.S. We just hear that tranquillity is restored
at Cadiz, and that the Constitution is to. be sworn to
this day."
gi CADIZ, MARCH 14, Tlnums o'CLoes At Num?.
a We just learn that the troops engaged in the late
massacre, are at this momeht hard pressed In their
barracks, where they had barricaded themielies, by
die people, and 'the other troops on their side, It is
possible that they may remain a long while. in this
situation, as they are by no nicaas in want of provi-
sions. We baiierrason to believe that the barracks
in possession of the besieged troops are those of Satita
Helena Ind San Rogues, which are situated within
the two bulwarks so named in the front of the fortis
fication of La Puerta de la Tierra,"

MADRID. MARCH 80.

" In the several Provinces the Constitution has been pro-
claimed with great rejoicings; and Cadiz, I believe, is the only
point u here there have been anyinisfortunes, for the people
there, oil the 11th, deceived by the idea that they w.•re going to
perform the suns ceremony, as immense concourse of persons
aWeenbled in the square of San Antonio, and the troops opened
a sharp fire upon them, and subsequently sacked several houses,
with other unfortunate acts. The Army of O'Donnel and
Frsyre, vie understand, are in a state of great insubordination,

and it will be very difficult to reduce them, although this can in
no way influence the final result of the cause. The Galicia:is
have idxty thousand "nen under arms, which they will not lay
down till they see the Cortes assecolded.
" The Gortes, we understand, will meet by theist of June,
sad the Deputies will be-newly. elected. , The point that most
perplexes the Provisional 31111ta, is the manner in which they are
to act,' conformably to the Constitution, in the existing state of
things in South America, and in what way they re to proceed
to order the nomination of Representatives for that country.
" I had written thus far, and the Cadiz Dail has just attired.
The letters are of the 14th, and melancholy details they give us.
The horrors committed there are greater than we had any idea
el The killed are rated frcm four to five hundred, and the
wooded 1000. The soldiery have plundered several houses,
and the streets, from the 10th, were literally deserted. On the
14th, the Governor issue 4 a Proclamation, ordering the people
to open their shops ; but, notwithstanding assurances were also
given that the Constitution would be formally proclaimed, so
great was the horror excited by the recent event, that ncbody left
tLir houses. It is said the country people round are arming ;
and if this is the ease, I would not answer for the escape clone
of the garrison. It is said Freyre has played, a double game;
for not being able to restrain the people of Cad's', he promised
to conform to their Wishes, and then kept his premier in the
way you have been informed: The dispatch which, under date
of the 10th, Freyre writes to O'Donnel, confirms this,,for in it
he distinctly says, the garrison of Cadiz, faithful to the princi-
ples of adhesion to, the august person of the King, his this day,
with a noble ardour, destroyed the project opproelaiming.the
Constitution, which the people la a tumultuOr manner yester-
day compelled me to offer them, when I -went:out to , 'appease
them. "
