• Malmo, JAN. 25.—1 t is now reported that Elio,
Captain4leneral of Valencia, is recalled by the Govern-
molt ; and they even go so far as to say, that the delay
of (lento's! Freyre, who, np to the 14th, was still at
Seville, has excited a degree of tlistruet, and that the
vommand of the. Royal Army destined to punish the In-
, eurgents of Andalusia, Is about to be conferred on Elio.
This report eives room for an examination of the re-
spective merits of these two Oeneral Officers. Freyre
owes his military elevation to the valour he has displayed
on many occasions. and the whole army do him this
justice. The remembrance of his handsome 'oviduct on
the heights of St. Menial, in linipuscoa. in INI3, will
be preserved as long as a Spanish soldier exists. As
Reeled as he is brave, it is said, hr dill not dare to at.
colt the Ministry offered to•hion after the disgrace of
Rallasteros. In a wool, General Frevre possesses every i
requisite to inspire confidence, and his presence alone le
l
capable of Innueuring the minds of the soldiery.
F.lio possesses another kind of Inuit. Ile is *very
where known by his nnbonnded devotion to the King.
Ile would not, perhaps, have the glory of conquering the'
Insurgents in a regular battle, if ally such should he
fought, but few would escape him, if perchance he bad
to judge them. Most assuredly he is the hest fitted to
leave the homey- of putting down an insurrection that
has fur its eljevt to thin and a Constitution and the
tortes. It is well known that he was the first General
of the Spanish army to set the example of a blind sub-
mission to the nil! of the King, and that he humbly
supplicated him, when at Valencia, " to be pleased to
retch after the manner of his august ancestors."
Here we conceive they are wrong in so soon blaming
• the apparent inactivity of General Freyre. Had bet
troops and money at his disposal when he was invested I
with the powers of Captain-General of Andalusia
Could he rely on the fidelity of sownof the battalions
Inertniag part of the corps already in a state of insurrec-
tion ? All the public treaenry of Seville has not been '
able to fnruish more than 60,000 Oak, and is it with
such feeble means that a clever Chief was to march im-
mediately on l.a Isla de Leon, occupied by some thou-
sands of old soldiers, led on by Officers of known
bravery, and placed between victory and the scaffold?
It is known positively, that almost all his artillery
passed over to the Insurgents. Other desertions were
dreaded, and the two battalions of the regiment of As-,
furies, embarked on the Onadalqnivir in order to rein-I
force the garrisoo of Cadiz. did not, we understand,
evince very encouraging sentiments. It would not have
been prudent to send them by land, after all that had
been remarked of their conduct, for it is from the first
battalion of this same corps that the first spark issues!.
It even appears that it is their Lient.-Colonel, Riego,
who is at the head of the enterprise. For all these
reasons, end others, the removal of Oeneral Freyre, if
it takes place, will create more inquietatle, instead of
doing good.
Letters from Cadiz, but not later than the 15th,
though cautiously worded, give ns room to suppose that
r.some afflicting events hare happened. One easily guesses,
amidst equivocal expressions used by the antfiors, that
there have been some symptoms of Costatififfietrafiam,
among the soldiers there. An officer entrusted with the
care of the State prisoners, favoured their escape, and
went off with them, and the Carara was delivered up by
those who ought to have defended it.
In short, we leave now attained the 25th day since the
insurrection broke out. It does not require note titan
,fifty hours for the moiler to arrive. here from Seville,
yet nothing is published on this affair; and certainly
the dovernment would not hesitate to tell us if it was
over. It is useless to say that flee population has re-I
mained indiffereut. The Spanish people are never indif-
'
fereet at what strikes their eyes. Such is not their cha-
racter, as has been often proved. It would he much
more simple to suppose that their interest tin the cause
of insurrection is opposed by their respect for the King :
for if he was ill-disposed towards the soldier, the latter
wonbl not hesitate to declare against him. 'fine people
of the country are never backward in pronmencing,
when tie y are not strongly hound ; and, at all events,
what favourable argument cats he drawn front their in-
difference, at .a time when the Covernuictet is sO openly
attacked I—(Ctnarritutionnel, Feb. 6.)

The davit Ferdinand, conscious of the weakness of
h;s " military and temporal force." has now called in
the all of his spiritnal and apostolic auxiliaries to help
him out of his difficulties ; the following is a specimen:

against the legitimate Authorities, who pone them for

after wealth and honours, to satiate the ambition that
consumes them. They ever arrogate to themselvestliat
