The sales of the last week amounted to upwards of 10,000 bags, of which about one half was Ameri can. ~ I The Karl of Selkirk died in the . South of France on the Gib of April.

The New Parliament assembled yesterday. I11 (tie Houstftpf Com mons, the Kight Hon. Charles Man ners Button was re-elected Speak or, ?mid testimonies of unanimous ap probation. . He was -proposed by fej* W.

There was an unusually full attendance of Members, for the first day ytf as sembling, and consrdeiing that they had all togothiongh the previous ceremony of being sworn. APRIL 25. The private letters brought yester day by the Spanish mail are not of later ciato than the accounts contain ed in the French papers. In neither is any event of particular importance mentioned, but it is satisfactory to see both coincide hi describing the ettthusia&m displayed in all the pro vinces on 4be recent change, which is no clomled by th$ taunts the^ pinisterial papers of the French, capita) occasionally blend wilh the; details they receive. We arc glad that the revolution in Spain can fur nish thein with uotliing more sub stantial, as we are very confident it * would not be overloo ked. The changes so happily eilectej must, no doubt, have disappointed .the views' of many, and hence, it may bo ex pected that rancor and intrigue \\ ill for some time be at work, hut all this will subside as affairs heroine consolidated, and the visionary (i ????. servers see their errors. The exain pie of the king will do much in Uii* re?|>ect, for, hitherto he has upt re sorted to any measure that could give Ids enemies the advantage of a momentary triumph, or eiicuuragcd any thing taiuted \rith disaffection. "\Ye aie also rejoiced that very in teresting scenes are taking place in Cadiz, as well as Madrid. The triumphant entry of enterprising Quiroga into the fortress before which he lately ?tood as an enemy and au outlaw (hiuLrs such treated from the pulpit,) witn all the exhilirating cir cumstances by which it was accom panied, roust he consoling k> those who lately suffered so grievously from a wish to espouse the cause in which he had set so noble an exam ple. It is very clear that the heroes of La Isla will ever live in -the re membrance of their countrymen, aud we are happy to find that the king, as well as the new government, are, among the first to testify their ac- . knowledgments. All these the brave youths deserve, for we do not hesilate now to repeat what we said when 4he first news of the revolution arrived, that the effi- ' cers in La lsl a were the flower of the Spanish army, aud we pledged our selves that they would never dis grace the cause on which they had -entered. MADRID, APRIL 10. Yesterday the Members of the. Constitutional Munisipality were chosen, and the elections have met' with general approbation, Among them are merchants, hind proprie tors, grandees, - fcc . The unfortu- : nate affair at Cadiz is the only blem-v ish our revolution basexperiencud, and it is lucky it was not worse, for * counter-revolution was plotted, and ought toJiave been carried into effect on Maundy Thursday, the 30th, but it wa* discovered by a sergeant of one of the regiments, who had received 2,000 -dollars to distribute among 4he people. Some arrests have followed; and among those sent to prison are three Members of the Junta de Keemplazos. lu .the place where they were in the habit of assembling, 10,000 dollars were , found, aud it appears that * few friars &curates were the persons who, un derhand, had formed the prtyetcted of suborning the troops, fortunate ly,} these wad .and nefarious pro jects are of no avail, ^nd will only serve to ruin a few ambitious indivi dual&in the opinions of their fellow citizens. The troops in La Isla; will not quit iheir positions till the CoHqs assemble. In the provinces < the militia are arming. * * NEW- YORK, MAY 26.
