INSURRECTIONS.
LofDbox, Sept. 30.
The mail from Corrunna has brought ve-
ry important intelligence, nothing less than
accounts of an insurrection against the
existing government of Spam, in conse-
quence of its supposed oppression, Gen.
Porlier, who distinguished himself so much
in the Patriotic war, under the name of the
ble effects (consequently bills of ¢ xchange),
alsoof whatever kind they may be, must be
delivered up. The Admiral will <declare!

For this reason , from time 10]
¢ime, signify his wishes to he Admiral till

‘ena; and afterwards to the latter; and if an
‘objection is to be made to his proposal, the
Admiral ok the Governor can give the ne-
cessary orders, and the disbursement will
be paid by bills on his Majesty’ s Treasury.
In case of death, he can dispose of his
property by a last will, ahd be assured that
thé contents of his testament shall be faith-
fully executed hao
Asan attempt might be made to make
a part of his property pass for the property
of the persons of his suite, it must be sig-
nified, that the property of his attendanes
is subject to the same regulations.
The disposal of the troops lelt to guard
him must be Jeft to the Governor.
The latter, however, has received a no-
tice, in the case which "will be hereafter
mentioned, to act according to the desire of
“the Admiral. *
The General must be cons antly attend:
ed by an officer appointed by the Admiral,
or if the ease occurs, by the Governor. 1f

{illuminated when the packet which arrived
at Falmouth with the mail, left that place ;
and it scems that the cause of Porlier is
popular. This important event fives ; much
interest to the report respecting the state
of Spain. The French papers say that ma-
ny old castles have been fitted up ay pris:
ons, and that upwards of fifty thousand per-
301s have been thrown into confinement for
thelr political opinions, among whom are
many of the bravest defenders of the country
in the late struggle with France.
