fermentation augmenting, the shops, coiiee
houses, public establishments, and private,
houses were closed at o'clock. Groups OF
the lower classes collected i'll the streets
and were haranguedby by the Volunteers, who
with great indignation related to them the
details of an extensive plot to poison all that
corps. It is certain that number OF men
of one company became suddenly indlsposed;
an idea Immediately prevailed that they hao
been poisoned, but the physicians who visit
ed them unanimously declared that there
was no sign of poison. They continue now
ever in the persuasion that an attempt mas
been made to poison them. The general
opinion is that they ate unwholesomc food
and such as is prohibited by the police. The
news of this event having reached Nittoria,
disturbance took place, in which two con-
stitutionalists fell victims.
At this moment e O'Clock P. M. } the fer
mentation continues and increases, but hith :
erto no excess has been committed. 1t IS
said that parley has been opened with the
Government, and its issue will determine
the ulterior conduct of the volunteers. Moth
ing can present more lamentable picture
of terror and dcsolation than the Spanish
Capital.
Three ofthc Body Guards have been ar
rested at Aranjnez at the moment when,
disguised i'll plain clothes, they were entcar-
curing to sicze forcibly some dispatches
which the Portuguese Ambassador had sent
to the post BY one OF his servants. The Am
bassador Immediately dispatched all extra
ordinary courier to communicate to his
Court this event, which cannot fail to aug
ment the unfriendly feeling which already
prevails between our Cabinet and that of
Lisbon. An the members of the diplomatic
Body enter so deeply into this scandalous
affair, that it seems impossible that it should
be hushed up. Many inquire whether this
event has not some connection with the treat
ment which the Ambassador meets with
from the Infants Of Portugal at tho Court Of
Madrid.
The following extract of letter, gives
some particulars of the late msundcrstand
ing between the French at Cadiz, and the
Active (British) frigatc.
Cadi-, J0nc a.
The British frigatc Active, Ion. captain
Rodney, arrived here on the 18th, from Al
giers, with the Portuguese Minister, who
went to make peace with the Dey; which he
effected BY paying e6l,00O
NVhen the Active arrived in the bay Of
Gatliz, she was hailed by a French brig of
war, which is stationed at the mouth Of the
bay to enforce the quarantine laws--the
commander of the ftigate replied, that as he
was coming into a Spanish port, he would
recognize no Nag but that Of the Spanish ma
tion. \ mutual Board Of Health WAS then
Immediately despatched TO put the usual
questions to the frsate, when they were
informed That She Mad come tyom AlgierS.--
Though having remained at Gibraltar seven
days, AND II the same time producing a
clean bill Of health, yet d question aresc rs
70 the propriety Of her being admitted to
pratlqac An extraordinary Board ct Health
assembled at O'Clock to decide this impor-
tant lnatter-President, the colnmanler-in-
chief Of tic French forces. The French in
tcrest at the Board, was against her being
admitted, unless She passed her usual quar-
antinc; bat the Sltiiarcs felt 50 pleased
when they were informed that the British
would not acknowledge the
French flag, that they ali voted that she
should be allowed pr.ttique. Her boats were
permitted to come on shore on
Sunday morning about seven o'clock, after
remaining : / hours in quarantine ground.
On the TUESDAY following, the packet
from England arrived off Cadi2, having
passage Of ten days. She was brought to
by the French brig about seven O'clock III

wait the arrival of the health officers: thc
moment the explanation took place, and the
boat belonging to the commanding officer Of
the Active saw her enter the bay, he manned
his boat and went alongside Of the packet,
to know what assistance he could render her,
or if She required any, at the samc time
offering to put OH shore immediately the
mails, and to provide her with such necessa.
ries as she might stand iii need Of. When
the captain Of the French brig saw tie Ac-
tive's boat alongside the packet, lie sent an
impeltincnt message to know "who had the
tcaierity to board the packet without his or
ders,o / he answer was, that the command
ing officer Of Ills Britannia Majesty's frigate
Active, agrecably 10, and il conformity with
Admiralty orders, dared to board his Ma
jesty's packet, and would every other Eng
Ish vessel which should enter the bay Of
Cada during her stay there, whether it
should CT should not be agreeable to the
French commander.
The French took offence, and they now
say they will put up no longer with such in
suits, but that their orders must be implicit
ly obcyed
The Active leaves this tomorrow for her
destination.
