momentarily in Catalonia, and muni-
lions of war have been landed in Cadiz,
and 1t is said the party in revolt are we'll
supplied with the same. They have also
plenty OF money, aud are determined on
| light to the last. The American flag iB
respected by both parties, and hundreds
seek protection from the American con-
sulate at CadiZ. There is an American
war vessel in port, and Danish and
Italian vessels are placed at the dispo-
silion of the American consul. Many
rich families are leaving the country.

by the insurgents at Cadiz were reject
ed at the expiration OF the urmistice,
and hOslilIties renewed. A desperate
conflict took place. in which artillery
was used by the troops of the insur-
gents. The loss in killed aud wound
ed WAS heavy on bOIh sides. The result
of the battle was undecisive, and the
insurgents still occupied the Hotel de
Vile and surrounding districts. The
rebels have detained within the Hotel
de Vile all the foreign consuls they
could seize, and hope by this means
that they will be able TO prevent the
threatened bombardmenG of that por-
tion of the city by the vessels OF war
in the harbor.
