• MADRID, OCT. 3. —(lty an Extraordinary Courier.).—
The attention of all the inhabitants of this capital, inces-
santly directed towards Cadiz, was diverted for an instant
yesterday by the arrival of the too famous Riego within our
walls.
-So early as half past 5 in the morning, extraordinary
shouting announced the appearance of the hero of the
Tragala ; and in the midst of an escort of the Royal V..
lunteers of Argaillos, to which was joined a detachment of
Spanish troops, and some French soldiers, advanced a cart,
upon which was seated the author of all our disasters. The
escort entered by the gate of San Bernandino, where be
was delivered to the guard of the Count de Torre Alta.--•
All the adjacent streets were immediately occupied by de-
techinents of infantry, and they were patrolled by parties of
cavalry, which did not permit any person to approach the I
prison. One of our Journals observes, on this subject, that
if the Constitntionalists had basely a -inated the Cation
Vinnesa, whilst in chains, it is only the stronger motive for
the Royalists to display their superior moral principles;
by leaving to justice the task of punishing the guilty.
Towards evening beds were prepared for the four pri-1
goners. Riego told the keeper of the ptison that he !
pected to be treated as a General. " What!" replied the
gaoler, "you a General! Do not you know that every
thing is now on the same footing in which it was before
your 7th of March of 1620?—D0 you think that we will
acknowledge in you the price of your treason ?" It has
been decided that Riego will be treated as a simple Officer,
at the same time impressing upon him that even this was
an act of pure generosity on the part of the Royalists.
He went to bed without replying.
• The following are extracts from our letters from Port St.
Mary of the 2Stit and 29th Sept.:
it is certain that Count Comes had carried a letter from
the King to His Royal Highness, in which his Majesty,
considered himself so sure of his liberty, that he
begged the Prince to state by that route he should go to
meet him at his head-quartets. His Royal Highness had
already answered, that the shortest way was to cross the
bay, and disembark at Port St. Mary's.
The following particulars we have gleaned from persons
worthy of credit at Cadiz:—
The propositions of the delivery of the King, which
were made under the conditions of the 27th, are now be-
to use a motive of studs exaggerated dernands,that they have
been rejected indignantly by the Duke of Angouleine, and
AI iva, the bearer of it, forbidden to present himself again
with other than pure and simple terms of submission of
Caziz. We are assured thatAhe condition set on the King's
liberty, was the possession during two months, under the
dominion of the Cortes, of the Isle of Leon, the City of
Cadiz, and all the strong places still in the power of the
Constitotionalists,and that they may be permitted to traffic,.
and hold communication with the rest of Spain and all
other countries. The madness of the revolutionists goes
as far as to require the dissolution of the' Regency of Ma-
dri so incompatible with the liberty of the King, the sole
legitimate Government.
The opposite parties in Cadiz are on the point of cutting
each other's throats in this unhappy city. There is in
het no effective Constitutional force here, except the
militia of Madrid. Those of Cadiz consult only their
repose and the resumption of their commercial occupations.
They ridicule and disobey the exaltados officers who had
beet, placed over them without disguise. The Commandant
of the parish of Saint Martial had assembled his battalion
before the sacred stone, and had declared to them that he
was going to set out to reconquer Santi Petri. At those
words all the troop cried out, " Then go alone, and the
devil take you!" immediately after these brave militia
returned to their houses, and the Commandant did nut dare
to interrupt them. Twenty similar iusurrections led to
the events which happened on the 27th, of which the most
remarkable, without doubt, is the voluntary dissolution of
the Cortes.
The Commandant General of the Isle of Leon has
signified that in consequence of the spirit displayed by
his troops, and the dispositions which the French had
made, it would be impossible for him to defend it, and that
be would therefore retire forthwith bellied the Rio
The Municipality of San Fernando has announced its
intention of capitulating with the French in order to avoid
the horrors of an assault.
At the same time Valdes stated to the Cortes that the
Constitutional flotilla could make only useless efforts fur
the defence of the city. A frozen consternation succeeded
the revolutionary exultation.
The Cortes held a Secret Sitting, in which were only
discussed the means of coming to an understanding with
the Government as to the safety of the compromised
individuals. A public sitting immediately succeeded this,
in which a message to the King was decreed, supplicating
him to deign to open negotiations with the French General,
on whatever terms he should judge proper.
The King replied, that he could not enter into any tie-
gociation. 'filen followed a second Meeting of the Cortes,
and a second message to the King. The Fame answer was i
given to this. There was a third Meeting. On this oc-
casion there were present but five Deputies ; the rest were
concealed, or were wandering about, peradventure search-
ing the means of Dying.
The most complete anarchy was soon established;
however no violence was committed. At length, the five
members, composing all the Cortes, and the Ministers, ac-
companied by setae officers of State, go to the King ; they
rely upon the clemency of his Majesty ; they declare to
him that he is re-established in the Integrity of his Royal
power, and conjure him to write to the Prince Generalissimo
of the French armies.

• This lies between the city of Ban Fernando, and the
Torreaords.
