REEOLu7I0N IN SPIN.
This intelligence, which has reached us
10 variety of uncertain and unofficial chan
rs,s !, now confirmed. This morning an
of5cer came up to town from his Britannia
maiesty's brig Emulous, Commanded by
I;e,'t. Stupar, in II days from Barbados,
having dispatches from the British admiral
y that island for Nh. Erskine, the British
minister near this government. Subjoincd,
orr readers will find some notes on the pre-
sent state OF Spain, which will enable them
% form, tolerable idea of the state of that
country, with some other interesting mat
tsrs.
We learn from letters (which we have
not room to insert) that this revolution has
been produced BY variety of circumstan-
ves. The Spaniards were persuaded that
Bonaparee intended to place king Of his
own family on the throne of Spain He got
into his possession at Bayonne the old king
and his SON Ferdinand the new king-Bo-
naparte then deshroned Ferdinand and re-
stored his father, who Immediately surren-
deyed his crown to Ronaparte. This IN
formation having reached Spain, the pro-
slncss formed themselves into a kind OF
provisional government, which is termed
The JUsTo of eaeh province, that OF Sc
wide has taken the lead. Nothing can ex-
coed the enthusiasm and unaninity of the
Spaniards. The French were attacked In
q, parts OF SPAN without the means of COM
nunlcatng with each other. AT the head
oi the preseas government is Dan Pedro,
tne uncle OF Ferdinand, by whom he was
|ieit regent, when that ill-atlvised prince set
out tor Bayonne. He was the first to resist
idurat, who it twas SAID is prisoner at Ma
drd Among the first objects of the pro-
yslcnal government of Spain, good UNI
derstnding with the British commanders
vas deemed essential-this was soon effect
ed' and assurances of cooperation, when
required, were instantly given. The French
Meet consisting OF sail of the line and 2
'nsatss at Cadiz, were summoned TO sur
render to the new government, but refused
N Consequence of which they were bonn
csrded iours hours, when they surrender
an hos.ilities between England and Spain
laaceased, and commissioners for the con-
siusloa OF peace, and other objects had sail

MANY other particulars, of which we had

tense before our readers.

uluerstOOd that general ApOdacO5 and tie
commissioners sent to London BY the unto
of Seville, had in charge to request the aid
Of the British government to the return of
these troops to Spain.
NoTE 6.-Hy the latest intelligence that
reached Cadiz on the 18th of June from
Portugal, general Gomez was on his march
with an army Of $4,000 men to attack the
French general Junot in Lisbon this ar
my was composed partly of Spaniards and
part Of Portuguese. The Portuguese re-
required the assistance of the British forces
under general Spencer, then at Aymonti,
and the feet off the Tagus. It was UNDER
stood that on the surrender Of gen. Dupont
with the French army at Cofdova, that ge-
neral Spencer would move towards Lisbon
for that purpose. The troops remained on
the 10Th Of June on board the transports.
NoTE. To secure Cadiz for the interest
of Bonaparte, general Dupont was detached
from Madrid with $4,000 men but ne had
only reached Cordova, when he found that
the French fleet in Cadiz harlor consisting
of FIVE ships of the line and two frigates had
surrendered, and the officers and crew made
prisoners of war, to the Spanish Junto at
Cadiz to return to Madrid was impossible,
the armed peasantry had already seized the
passes in the mountains through which the
road went and large force lay between
him and Cadiz--In( fact the French army
found themselves An state of seige. On
the 18th of June courier arrived at Cadiz
to inform the unto, that general CORDOBA
who commanded the Spanish army ner Cor
dova had becnjoined by 5000 troops of the
line from Algesiras, which made his force
amount to 10000 troops of the line, indie
pendent Of the volunteers and peasantry
armed with pixies. The French army by
deaths and desertion was reduced to $500
men. On the 10Th Of June courier arrived
early in the morning informing that two ar
mics were engaged and on the afternoon
of the same day second courier arrived
to inform the Junto of Cadiz, that general
Dupontand his whole force had surrender
ed prisoners ofWar to general CORDOBA.
1t was understood that the victorious ar
my would Immediately march towards Ma
drid to act in conjunction with the armies
marching from Biscay, and other parts of
Spain to besiese the French in Madrid.
To tie honor of the Spanish nation it has
been found, that since the declaration of hos
tilities against France, by the provisional
government, in no instance had Spaniard
been induced to carry any letters from the
French officers to the other ports by this
means every communication between the
commanders of the French armies has been
cut off.

s An inspection ST the Spanish troops had
been ordered in the great square Of Lisbon.
The French army were silently got under
arms, and posted with numerous field artil-
lery in every avenue leadingto the square;
and in this situation they were ordered to
lay down their arms--re resistance was inefec-
tnal, and the order was executed. Several
of the officers made their escape either to-
Spain or to the British feet off the 4 agus.
It is expected that General Junot will sur
render to the feet, consequently the fall Of
the Russian squadron is certain.
