Sailed in company with _Tyne_ for Tarragona, arriving there on the 6th. Found _Tribune_, from whom I got orders to return to Gibraltar to meet the mail. Like the latter places we had visited, things were quiet. The Junta had been dissolved, and the Queen’s Government become popular. Here the news of the outbreak at Barcelona had caused disturbances. A battalion of the National Guard marched from the town of Reuss to assist those at Tarragona, and was received with acclamations. The braves of Tarragona sacrificed to their fury the Lieutenant-Governor and the Town Major, who were thought to be Carlists; General Conti, Governor of Tarragona, absconded the day before the news of the Revolution was generally known. Brigadier Lescanca, who had been appointed by the people to this chief command, endeavoured to save the lives of the Lieutenant-Governor and Town Major. During the night, when the people were exasperated, it was thought possible to save them by conveying them to one of the vessels in the harbour. However, before they got to the boat they were observed, and murdered on the pier. The Governor was stoned to death, and his fellow-victim shot. A Junta, similar to the others, was formed, and tranquillity restored. [Sidenote: Nov. 16.] We sailed. _Clio_, in co., 16, with my old Lieutenant, F. Scott, on board; we meet her again! Anchored at Gibraltar in time to catch the up and down mails. The Gibraltar merchants had prosperous times, as, since this Revolution, the men employed on the coastguard had been sent to join the army in the north. At the present time their storehouses are empty. [Sidenote: Nov. 17.] After supplying the Calpe Hunt with the bread-dust I had collected, we sailed. [Sidenote: Nov. 18.] Came to inside the mole at Malaga. The Juntas had been dissolved; the Queen’s Government apparently popular. An active subscription was going on to support the Queen’s army employed in the North. I met a man going about the street with “true and correct lists” for sale, in Spanish, of those who have not subscribed. My _Childers_ touched a shoal off the end of the mole. We were not inconvenienced more than a few minutes, owing to the prompt assistance from the American corvette _John Adams_. At 9 A.M. saluted the Spanish flag with 21 guns, not having done so on my first visit, owing to there being no Government, except that appointed by the Junta in opposition to that of the Queen. [Sidenote: Nov. 19.] Being the birthday of the Queen of Spain, remained just long enough to fire a royal salute, with yards manned. [Sidenote: Nov. 21.] Sailed in commencement of a Levanti. [Sidenote: Nov. 24.] Visited Alicante; everything quiet. Subscriptions were being raised in support of the Queen’s army. In the North 3,000,000 reals had been subscribed, about £30,000.
