A letter from Malaga, under date of April 7th, announces the arrival at that place of the Patriots, Gurcia Heneros, Zorraquin, Martinex de la Rosa, and Calatrava, from the gallies, off the coast of Africa. It is impossible, Says the letter, to paint the joy with which they were received. A triumphal car was prepared. All the bells were in motion, and there were frequent discharges of artillery. The banquets, balls, and fetes are not yet over.
The last advices from Cadiz, are contained in the London Courier of the 29th. Private letters say that at Cadiz every thing is restored to order; it is far from being so in the rest of Andalusia. The battalion of Guides and that of Loyalty, about 800 strong, who were concerned on the 10th of March, are at this moment (April 4th), entrenched at St. Lucar, determined to defend themselves there if any attempt is made to inflict any punishment on them, or compel them to take the oath of fidelity to the Constitution. We are assured that two regiments of the cavalry El Rey, and that of the Royal carbineers, are arranged on their side, being unwilling to swear fidelity to the Constitution.
The growing confidence in the new order of things is sufficiently manifested by the fact that the reals communes, the Spanish Government paper, which before the recent change was at 86 per cent discount was on the 18th at 58 per cent discount.
Ferdinand has issued a proclamation addressed to his South American subjects. This interesting document will be found below.
The accounts from Madrid are to the 15th.--The different towns and authorities continue to take the constitutional oaths, and to send in addresses of congratulation to the King.
