By the arrival last evening of the

from Cadiz, we have been favored with
! papers from the eth February to the
4th of March inclusive, which contain
Madrid dates to the 25th February, 3
days later than those received by the
last arrivals from Liverpool.
A president, vice presi dents, &c.
were chosen, with much uoanimity. at
a second preparatory meeting, for the
next Cortes.
Things remained nearly in the same
