municates copy Of letter from Madrid,
OF the lath inst. which states that the in
surgcnt troops, who now designate them
selves as the /" National Army" have
actually taken possession of Cadiz. The
detection of the regiment of infantry OF

two of which were royal carbineers, de-
cided the success of the insurgents.
The constitution Of the Cortes was i'm
mediately proclaimed at Cadiz, and the

town-hall to all parties, military and
civil. The Commerce of the town gave
grand banquet TO the civil and military
authorities, 10 celebrate the triumph OF

amounts to $4,000 men. This intelIi-
gence received implicit credit at Bay
onne, at the time Of the departure Of the
