The New Parliament assembled

mons, the Kight Hon. Charles Man
ners Button was re-elected Speak or,

probation. . He was -proposed by
fej* W. Scott, in a speeeh of appro
priate eulogy, and, after he had
taken his seat as Speaker, Lord
Oastlereagh and Mr. JBrougham re
spectively congratulated the House

which had been made. There was
an unusually full attendance of

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.
