The revolt in Cadiz is over. A large body of
troops were collected at the gates, and their commander, General Caballero de &du, offered the insurgents their lives if they would submit. Un- supported from Seville, whence they had expected aid, and dis- heartened by the resolution of the Government, they yielded, and order has been restored. The Republicans did not release the con- victs, but only compelled them to work for them ; and the victorious general seems to have shed no blood. The victory has strengthened the Provisional Government, which is now, it is said, quite decided to recommend the Duke de Montpensier as its candidate for the throne. It is even asserted that it was intended to declare him King upon the fall of Cadiz,—a project frustrated by the sur- render. Meanwhile the Treasury is not filling, the armed work- men in the Relief Works are quarrelling with their pay, and the Cortes does not meet till the middle of January.
