'anzat harangued his troops,and prepared
to act against the forces OF Riego. He
sent an order to the commissary who was
at Cabara, 10 despatch to lznagar the
necessary rations for his division. The
CORPS which was here has proceeded to-
wards the same portland we expect news
of an action" In a postscript to the same
letter it is added, that "Just at the mos,

Many circumstances conspire TO show
that the difficulties between The duke d.,
ADgouIeme and the machine Of his own

an article purporting to be an official
protes, Oh the part oftbe regency, against
the decree OF the prince Liberator," by
which he ordered certain Spapiards who
were imprisoned by the Faithful" to be

prince makes many Professions Of libe-

with the despolic and cruel conduct of
his regency; and is whispered that Rus

10 support tie latter. Perhaps this ru

an appeal 10 Europe for assistance against
the friends whom they, last year, SO

letters from Madrid, which "are not quite
