REVOLUTION IN SPAIN!!!

Capt. Ramberger of the ship Medora, arrived here yesterday in 45 days from Cadiz, from which place he escaped on the 5th January, an embargo having been laid on all vessels in that port. All communication between Cadiz and the interior of the country was cut off. Part of the army had revolted, and Cadiz was, in fact, in a state of siege. The Grand Expedition was at an end. Provisions had risen 50 per cent.

FURTHER PARTICULARS.

The Revolution commenced on the 3d of January. 6000 troops marched to the town of Caraccas, and released the prisoners who had been arrested by Gen. O'Donnell, Count d'Esha. A Colonel then put himself at the head of these troops, and took possession of the fort. Next day, the 4th of January, he summoned a strong fort which commands the town. In the mean time, the Governor of Cadiz assembled about 300 soldiers, and garrisoned the town. He sent a flag of truce to the army, to demand the reason of hostilities.—Their reply and demand was, 'That the Constitution of the Cortes should be adopted; their arrearages paid; and that they should not embark for South America, to bear arms against their countrymen.' Another portion of the army, amounting to 8000 strong, had marched against Madrid, to demand the same stipulations of the King. The same day (the 4th,) all communication was stopped between Port St. Maria, Caraccas, St. Roque and all the adjoining towns, and an embargo laid on all vessels in the harbor. The Spanish men of war in the harbor of Cadiz were ordered to be in readiness to put to sea, at a moment's warning. Further information respecting this important event may be expected in a few days, as the captain of a N. Y. ship informed capt. Ramberger, that he intended to make his escape from the embargo the following night.
