distance. How to make myself heard I knew not, and
having lost my horse, I could not proceed with any dis-
patch towards the sound. I threw away the incuns-
hrance of my pistols and part of my dress, and made fur
the highest and must clear point of land near me.
Perched upon this I again listened, but the sound re-
tired. I left my post and ran at my utmost speed ; found
I approached, and gained confidence and spirits. After
two hours I could make myself heard, was answered,
and at length discovered .by a party, which had all
night been looking for me, and were returning, giving
up the pursuit. You may easily judge my joy was un-
bounded; I cried like a child, so strong were my feel-
ings acted upon. Being congratulated on inv wonder-
ful escape, by my deliverers, I- was placed on horseback
and conducted to the camp, where I had been given up,
and an my arrival being announced, it was asked if not
my remains, rather than a living carcase, approached.—
Thus ends my tale. I readily parted with my horse,
saddle, bridle, pistols, and clothes, for the security of
my person ; therefore, though lost to me for ever, it
would be sinful fur me to repine. The distance at
which I was found was ten miles from the camp, and it
moved the same day; another half hour, and toy doom
hail been sealed."

The following letter, unquestionably from a per-
sonage ofdistinctiun, by its appearance in a certain
Ministerial journal, proves, in contradiction to the
assertion of the Journal de Paris, that all is not
smoke in the military fermentation at Cadiz. There
is undoubtedly more or less of fire in it, and the
combustion is not likely to be stilled.
"31susito, JAN. order that you may be well
acquainted with what is going forward in Andalusia, I
must inform von, that the revolted regiments of the E
peditionary Artily concentrated themselves in the Isla
of Leon, and after having remained there some time,
made two attempts to surprise IA Corte/lure de St. Fer-
nando, in which they failed, and they were convinced
that it was not easy to take that fortress, which was in
it respectable state of defence. Hut in the night, front
the 11th to the 12th, they had succeeded in taking the
l'aracca, the Royalist troops having been obliged to
abandon that point, in order to save the important arse-
nal from the destruction menaced by the Insurgents,
who had prepared red-hot halls to attack it.
" The best spirit reigned at raffia, and the inhabi-
tants contribute with their persons and property to the
defence of the place; nor has the Governor neglected
any precautionary measures to secure it from the assaults
that uiihrht he attempted by the Insurgents in despair.
General Freyre,Captai ntieneral of Andalusia, after having
reinforced the garrison of Cadiz with a regiment of in-
fantry, had collected, between Seville and Utrera,
12,000 infantry and 2,5110 cavalry ; and on the 20th
January bad commenced his march against the muti-
neers, who must necessarily be compelled to yield to
superior force,_ as, in consequence of desertion, they are
reduced to about 2,000 men.

"The greatest tranoptillity remains in this capital
(Madrid), as well as in all the provinces in the kingdom.
The event in Andalusia will have produced the effect
of uniting a 3 classes in defence of their King and
country....

The following are the Proclamationl ti which we M-
inded yesterday, in onr observations on the Spanish In-
surrection :

PROCLAMATION OF ORNRRAI. lIPIRTRR, TO TIM! •RMT

ASSEMBLED V:IDER HIS ORDERS AT 'STILLS.

" Soldiers, the rights of our Sovereign, beloved, ac-
knowledged. and respected by the whole nation, have
been set at tonight by factions men, who, erecting them-
selves into arbiters of the general destiny and will, wish
to re-establish institutions, under which Spaniards could
obtain nu happiness, as experience has sufficiently proved.
The Throne, the whole nation, have unanimously pro-
scribed them. I place myself with pleasure at your
head, in order to endeavour to undeceive and bring back
those who have suffered themselves to be seduced,
and to stifle their projects. Your fidelity encourages me,
and the confidence which I have in your tired valour, in•
duces toe to hope, that shortly I shall have the delightful
satisfaction of assuring the King that his sacred rights
have been maintained by the efforts of an army, which
neither gold, nor promises, nor seduction, have been
able to turn aside from the path of honour. Soldiers!
serve as the model to armies : I ant sufficiently rewarded
by the pleasure of commanding you, and the King will
doubtless generously acknowleage your fidelity and
constancy. (Signed) MA:suat. Fame."
