San Fernando, enero de 1820

Una crónica de The Times, fechada el 31 de enero de 1820, nos habla del papel de San Fernando (Cádiz) en la revolución liberal de Riego:

The only additional information which we have been able to obtain on this important subject, has reached through the medium of the French papers of Wednesday last. (...) The battalions of the regiments of Espana, Aragon, Corona and Seville seconded the insurrectionary movement: they advanced upon the Isle of Leon, and in the direction of Cadiz; but when they arrived at the Cortadura, (an entrenchment during the revolutionary war) within about half a league of the city, they were stopped by a handful of soldiers belonging to the garrison and some of the City militia.
