Disturbances at Cad,z -Forlyy,ng.-
An official communication iron the minis
ter Ut the Interior 10 the civil Governor
of thevProvince of Cadiz, reduces to four
the number of battalio Ms Of the Guards
which marched out of Madrid in the night
of the first instant; confirms the account
OF the prevalence Of tranquility in that
Capitol on the Cd and adds, that his ma
jesty has adopted such energetic measures
as we're called for by that momentous- oc-
currence which he deeply laments The
Guards, according to this communication,
had taken the road to AIcohendas, most Of
their officers and many sergeants having
previously separated from them.
On the 9Th inst. the Town Council oil
Cadiz made II known to the inhabitants,
that. in consequence of the above news,
it.had appointed committee, which, in
concert with one to be nominated by the
Town Council of S. Fernando, would in
spect The Notifications of their Island and
carry into effect the resolution, taken with
the concurrence OF the civil and military
authorities. to render that strong hold OF
liberty impregnaSle under any circutn
stances.
In the night of the same day, the mob
compelled the civil and military comman
daDts to resign: but. it appears. by pro-
clamation issued by the Town Council on
the 7th, that they are to continue in the
exercise OF their functions, with the assis
lance of the +" Consultative Board, , which,
it !. observed, will be the best guarantee
Of the dispositions to be made by those Of.
ficers for The security OF the island OF Ca
diz, and consolidation OF the constitution
al system
The Mensagero states, that the mal-con-
tents in the environs of COrdova have ere
ated board of government in Montague,
of which the president is D Diego de E.
naresy Tienda, one of the members OF the
Cortes of 1914 who advised the king to
lay the constitution aside on his return
from France.
Sedtious cries were heard in one OF the
Suburb. of Seville in the evening Of the
soth of June, bat, when the National w.
lunteers came up, the individuals who had
uttered them, had already effected their
escape.

The Madrid accounts OF the Sd and
4th inst in the papers by yesterdays mail,
leave the Guards at the Pardo, where they
appear TO have proceeded, after halting
short time at La Pradera DE- GuardIas. 70
this latter spot il was that Generri Moril-
10 followed them Immediately after their
departure. in order to prevail upon them
to desist from their undertaking. The an
swer to his entreaties was that the king
bad fled to the Pardo, and that they were
determined to defend him. With view
to convince them, that this was not the
case, the general took number Of them
with him to the palace. where bis majesty
urged them to submit to the authorities,
and desired them 10 tell their comrades
that such was his wish ; after which, the !
general and the deputies went back to La |
Pradera. The account, given by the lat
ter OF their mission, seems 10 have pro- |
duced no effect. Instead Of agreeing to
return to Madrid with The general they at
tempted TO persuade bin to put himself at
their head, reminding him Of the abuse
lavisbed upon him by some OF the liberal
prints; and, as Gen. NJ. positively reject.
ed their proposal, some OF them seemed
10 be inclined to detain him. In this,
however, they did not succeed. and the
general on bis return TO the capital, was
that the king had appointed him
Colonel ad interim Of the two regiments
of the guards. A few hours after the TOUR
battalions marched on to the Pardo, since
which time 10 the date OF the latest &C
counts, Government had been negotiating
with them to induce them 10 come back
Their numbers were stated, in the Un,-
versal, not to have exceeded 1900 men on
he I'd and on that very day il was ad-
Jed, that several officers and men had left
hem and. on the two next, il was. assert
I'd that a great many more had followed i!
his example. NE observe. on the other
land. that, on the FIRST mentioned day, the
suards demanded 9ooo ralIons Of the Al
;alde OF the Pardo; and, on the Sd, 1000.
We further find. that his Majesty, who pre-
'ious TO the disturbances, intended to go ,
o ST. lldetons6, is 10 remain in Madrid
until tranquility be completely restored Ia
nd that, although great praises are be- II
tewed on the peaceab'e conduct of the :
.arrison, militia and inhabitants, il is ac- {
that great uneasiness prevails;t
nd the Editor OF the paper above quoted,
ives il as bis opinion. that to extricate the 4
ountry from the critical situation in which c
is placed, his majesty ought to put HIM c
elf at the head OF his peorle. this being j
sure mems TO find out who are the loyal. b
