this affair. This declaration had the de-
Sired effect: The tumult ceased; yesterday

lie majesty made his entry amidst the shouts
LOT the inhabitants.
Two hundred and sixty.three pieces Of
cannon were found in this place; of which
one hundred aud forty were on the Bate
ries together with munition, arms, stores
and provisions. We are, at present, engag-
ed In making out an inventory, Of which
report will he forwarded to you. The mem.
6ers OF the Junta and their partizans have,
tor these htteen days past, been preparing
for this event, and have sent off whatsoever
they could for Cadiz. They have also sold
to the English, whatsoever they could for
cash. Towards the last, the people plum
dsred part of their stores. In the mean
time, the Marshal Duke of Belluno has sent
Oft detachment to San Lucar, where we
expect to find the precious effects and ar
tillcry, which probably they will not have
time to send down the Guadalauivir.
The entertainments which the insurgents
have erected around Seville, are immense.
oiXty thousand men would be requisite for
their defence, which has rendered them
useless. The greater part of the inhabitants
have remained, and of those that have went
of. crowds return. There are some famli-
lies, who have acted conspicuous part in
the revolution, who probably will not re.
turn.
The Junta is dissolved-Its last act was

members of the Junta have saved them

ready declared their repentance to the king,
and say that numbers will follow their eX-

this insurrectional government, except the
remembrance OF the evils they committed.
lhe lnsurrectional troops have dsbanded
themselves, and a part thereof have return
cd nome. The fear of being treated as pri..
soners OF war has prevented numbers from
entering the service. 1t is for. this reason,
that a great many of the prisoners have es.
capped. A body of 5000 men, dispatched
from the army of CASTLE to cover Seville,
being surprised, disbanded themselves at
six leagues distance, and went every man
his own way.
Already several French prisoners have
been rescued; and we hope 10 lberate
more. Among them are some marines. -
