publications issue daily from the press. We have the
_Conciso_, the _Tertulia_, the _Buen Español_, the
political _Telescope_, and I believe the political
_Microscope_ and the political _Spectacles_; none of these
have any merit except the _Conciso_, which gives the best
diary we have yet had of the proceedings of the Cortes;
but we have likewise the _Semanario_, revived by Quintana,
which maintains its ancient reputation, and the _Patriot in
the Cortes_, as yet chiefly distinguished for its boldness.
Some numbers of these last I shall do myself the pleasure
to send to your Lordship by the first good opportunity.
I should have requested of Mr. Wellesley or Mr. Vaughan
to take charge of any parcel or packet for you, but they
reside at present in the _Isla_, whither I seldom go; and
which is so crowded that I could not procure in it a house
or accommodation of any kind. We are and have been in daily
expectation that the Cortes will transfer their sittings
to this city. The Cortes have committed and are _daily_
committing a great many errors; but they are the errors of
inexperience, and as they have upright intentions and are
not indocile they will, I hope, soon correct such mistakes
as they may inadvertently fall into, more especially when
the forms are once established which are to regulate
their future proceedings; and I am happy to say that this
necessary regulation, the want of which has been already on
many occasions severely felt, will soon take place.
I have seen exaggerated accounts in the English papers of
the yellow fever which prevailed here; it was not virulent
nor general, and has now, I believe, entirely vanished.
The French have at last succeeded in throwing a few
nine-inch shells within our walls from their battery on
the _cabezuela of the Trocadero_. One fell near the signal
tower, almost in the centre of the city, and distant from
the _cabezuela_ about 2500 French _toises_, greater by
200 _toises_ than any range of a shell formerly known.
Not more than a dozen altogether fell within the walls;
they fortunately did no damage and occasioned very little
alarm. I am assured by Artillery officers that the charge
of powder necessary to throw a shell to such a distance is
so great, that after a few discharges the mortar will be
rendered entirely useless. A few shells were first fired
two or three days ago, a few more the next day, and they
have since been silent. We are informed that one of their
mortars burst.
A general enlistment is now carrying on here and rigorously
executing, of all unmarried men _without exception_
from the age of 16 to 45. Men we can find in abundance,
but where we can get the means of clothing, arming, and
subsisting them, unless we receive very liberal aid from
England, it is difficult for me to conceive; two days
ago, notwithstanding every measure of economy that has
been adopted and is adopting, there was not a dollar in
the treasury. The Government had applied a few weeks ago
to the _Junta_ of Cadiz for the loan of a million of
dollars, to be repaid upon the arrival of the _Bulwark_
from Vera Cruz; this the _Junta_ had the scandalous
indecency to refuse, except upon the condition that the
regulation and collection of the customs of the port of
Cadiz should be committed exclusively to their management,
with other stipulations, the effect of which would have
been to erect the _Junta_ into a little petty sovereignty.
This proposition was rejected with indignation, and the
conduct of the _Junta_, upon this occasion, has justly
rendered them extremely unpopular. Yesterday morning,
the Government, being absolutely without a dollar, made
application to the _Consulado_, and a meeting of the most
respectable merchants being called most of whom never had
any concern with the _Junta_, a great many very patriotic
speeches were made, the million of dollars was immediately
granted, without interest or condition of any kind and to
be repaid whenever it was convenient for the Government.
The _Bulwark_ fortunately arrived in the evening, but has
not brought so much money as was expected, only a million
and a half dollars for the public treasury and about two
millions private property.
I am sure I must have now tired your Lordship completely
with this long and uninteresting letter, to which I shall
here put a close, and have the honour to be most truly,
Your most obedt. Servt.
R. CAMPBELL.
