INSURRECTION IN SPAI.V.

Cara. Jut. 16.—The ldisaffected soldiers in this
fteighboodoink ass headed, it is said, by a brother of
the King's„ Dow-Nhoooloset, use are editing considerably
to their forces. Several tointleed troops, who were sent
out of Cadiz a few flays ago by teeter, in order to
stress then aad t the arsenal- of LS Caracca, have
}laid the ionary parr, by whit lc. means that
patty le nowise possession of that important post. So
that neither sleets, ammunition, provisions, or water
east be obtained for the men ei war. They aro therefore
supplying the fleet from the provisions *lsiah are on
board the transporte; they hare taken all set a sever 4
of the ships, and it is nor turn to-morrow.
It is reported and generally believed here, that a
°rural 0 WNW, brother to the Ileneral of notoriety;
of that name, or Coude D'Abisbal, advanced three days
ago from Algesiras with a corps of about 2.0t10 men,
upon the post which the party disaffected to the liovern-
mint, as it now exists ander Ferdinand Seventh, held,
and required them to surrender and give up their lead-
ers. The disaffected
.party, on the contrary, required
o'Donnel's troops so join them, or otherwise no quarter
world be given them, if they attempted any offensive
position. Notwithstanding this, ti'lMenel advanced,
and the Mall nu, that he war completely rooted, a
great number of his men killed, and those who escaped
that fate joined the Revolutionists, tool the General him-
self narrowly escaped by flight. The Revolutionary
Army have now sent in a message, by a flag of truce, by
way of intimidating, to demand that Cadiz should be
given op to them, and threatening, that if the citizens
of Cadiz should bold eat or oppose them, that every man
will be pot to the sword en their getting possession of
it. What answer has been returned to this has not
transpired; but it is eentidently expected that in a day
or two Cadis will be in their possession. The Admiral
has expressed his determination to withdraw his sailors
or marines from the fort protecting Cadiz, in order to,
protect his fleet, leaving the inhabitants and what few'
troops stein Cadiz, mid which have been sent by water
from St. Lacer and Rota to protect it, which, in the opi-
nion of every one, is only poor protection, as the troops
only wait a favourable opportunity to join their com-
rades, and most part of the inhabitants are disposed to be
'of the same mind. Whether the Admiral intends to go out
with the fleet or not, in order to preserve it until he sees
which party is successful, or what his determination is
respeetisqf it, no one as yet knows. The prevailing
opinion again is, that no harm whatever is intended
to any one by the Revolutionists, except they inset with
obstinate opposition. They merely, it is said, insist
on the adoption of the Constitution, as it was framed
by the Cortes during the period of the King's confine-
ment in France. Which ever way these troubles may
end, it is vett, generally believed that the expedition
will be abandoned. The pest, being now interrupted in
its usual route, goes by water to Arattionlc. a town near
Portuirai, where it is conveyed through liadajo: to
Madnd. This retards letters very notch.
PORT ST. WART'S, JAN. l4.—Here n e are as quiet as
if nothing had happened. The troops passed through a
few days ago, having prod:limed the Constitution, as
established by the Cartes. They were received with
epee arms •by every body. A new municipality has been
formed, every body took the oaths of fidelity to the Con-
stitution. Cells is now closely blockaded, all the envi-
rons beteg in possession of the Constitutional troops.

An article frees Cadiz, dated January 14. says, the
Constitutional 'ray appears to have the town of St.
fensendo foe its hewilicarters ; it is about 7,000 strong,
and they may easily de ad themselves a long time in a
position so wrong, if provisions were more abundant.
It is also repolled, that tl,OOO mu had left Madrid,
and were usarching upon Sam Fernando, the capital of
the Isla de Leon ; and that the rest of the Expeditionaryl
Army had bees mot M Um, inserier.
