MADRID, Jan. ll.--For sor,o time the off,

lately manifested Of ds,ach,ng one body Of
these troops 10 re-eDforce Morillo's army.
As soon as the soldiers, chosen tor this SER

After this the muripeers made on attempt TO
enter Cadiz but not being able 10 pass under
Fort St Ferdioabd, who're they were stopped
by the garrison which had been reinforced by

purpose from the squadron, they rs,ired and
took q position at Lebrida, where they have
established their head quarters for the pur.
pose OF iotercepting the communicated be-
tween Cadiz and Madrid. -f
Al the same lime they succeeded In ex-
citing the people to revolt by promising TO
re-estsblisb the Cortes, which they have in
fact proclaimed in several cities, making at
the same time every etfor. TO engage Tho rest
Of the army OF The expedition In their cause.

to The public. The officers have been re-
placed by the sereesnts who took part in the

where slight insurrection took place, which

intelligence Of the revolt and the proceedings
Of the insurgents had reached that place, tho
authorities Of the siiy formed themselves in.

this measure, adopted in his name by the Jun.

one regiment had revolted, aud TO press upon
the insurgents as much as possible. These
last being Inferior in number, and Cadjz and
Seville being out Of the reach Of their alte mps,
the general apparently will be able 10 disperse
them or 10 reduce them to submission. The
communication between Cadiz and this capi-
