In the French papers very unfavourable
account is given of Cadiz as To its means of
de fence. II is said that The town would not
admit the Madrid Volunteers that the gar
rlsun is not sufficiently numerous for the works,
sc. The command of the troops is given to
Gen ViSodet Several Generals, Councillors
of State, and Members ofthe Cortes, had been
left ut Seville. Among them are said TO be
Generals Blake and Palafox. We have heard
however. from authority at least equal 10 the
French accounts, (says the London Observer)
that Palafox accompanied the King in the
Journey from Seville.
From the London Courier, July 81
The puhlic have been naturally anxious TO
know what would he the conduct of our Gov
ernment in consequence of the recent events
that have occurred at Seville, and ut Cadiz.
| Any acknowledgment of the self appointed
Regency of Seville, or of the Act by which
the King is declared competent or incompe
tent, just as it suits the purposes of party, or
as he assents or dissents from their policy, was
altogether out of the question.
Sir William A'Court will regulate his con
duct by the manner in which the King is treat
ed by this self constituted Regency, and by
the wishes which may be expressed by his
Majesty. The Regency must cease to exer
else any authority, and must be dissolved
His Majesty must be able to declare his will
with perfect freedom, and without restraint
Should he be restored TO the royal authority,
not nomnally but really-and should he COM
municate desire that Sir w. A'Court should
remain with him for his Maies,y's personal
security, our AMBASSADOR will probably feel
himself justified in remaining.
But should his Majesty not be restored to
his Royal authority upon his arrival at Cadiz,
Sir VIM. A'Court may be expected TO retire
wholly from the Spanish territory.
1t will not surely be deemed unreasonable
to add, that no man ever conducted himself
with more Judgment, with more talent, with
more discretion, and at the same time with
more firmness than Sir William A'Court has
done under circumstances of as great, if not
OF greater difficulty and decacy than any
Ambassador was ever placed in at any former
period of our history.
We know that the Constituencies have
not more than 10000 men in Cadiz, in a
wretched condition, without leaders, money,
supplies or provisions. The discontinue is
So complete, that when the King was forced
TO leave Seville, the sef-apponted Regency
could not prevail upon single person to act
AS Minister nd interim, or even to countersgn
the dispatches of Sir w. A'Court

MADRID, jane "a.
~ an extraordinary COurter)
A saDgnnary affair, somewhat similar to
what took place at Madrid before the entrance
of the French troops into that capital, has Just
| occurred at Seville. 1t was this circumstance
which prevented our receiving any positive
advices from Seville and Cadiz. The Ex-
! traordnary Gazette, which now send YOU,
contains full particulars of what has transpir-
ed. The people, every where favourable to
the cause of the King, have been mastered at
SETTLE, as they were at Madrid, by the satel-
iitcs ofthe COrtes, who always shew them
selves SO valiant against women, but never
wait for our grenadiers.
Lopez BauOs, flying before General Bour-
mont, arrived three or four days before us at
Seville, with about 1900, thinking to find the
CnrteS there the Inhabitants would not re-
| cei,e them, aud bravely defended themselves :;
they even employed field pieces, but being
wholly ignorant how TO act with them, they
were under the necessity of dispensing, and
Lopez BanOs forced his entrance into the
town, here he had time to levy a cOntrlbu-
ton, With which he fed, like Pope for the
appetite Of these heroes of liberty must be
supplied, although they have ruined and des-
olaied the country. Lopez Banos made off
at the approach of our troops and proceeded
to the frontier, of Portugal not being able to
gain Cadia, from which he is cut of by Gene
raj B0rdesout. The half of his band desert
ed him ere he left the suburbs of the town.
The advance guard of General Bordesoult
was on the 9Th at Utrera, three days march
from Fort ST. Marys.
courier from Seville has brought us
still further adSices respecting the deplorabIe
scenes which marked the departure of the
hing. Open violence was employed against
the august prisoners; the Princesses, even,
were exposed 10 outrages. The young Queen
was seen in tears and dishevelled, struggling
in the arms Of the Brgands, who were forcing
her TO accompany them. II is certain that
several of The members Of the Cortes and ma
ny Councillors of State have remaiHed in
conesalment at Seville Ii appears that the
royal family were meDaced at Cadiz, and
lodged lu the custom house. The Cories il
is said remain in the Isle of Leon, seeing that
