SPAIN.

The glorious revolution in this country was clouded for some days by a military massacre of the people at Cadiz, on the 10th of March, which reminded us in many of its circumstances, of the equally horrid affair of the 16th of August. The people were assembled with holiday countenances to witness the proclamation of the constitution; when on a sudden, at the instigation, it is said of a priest, a body of drunken partizan soldiery assailed them, and murdered on the spot 471 men, women, and children, besides wounding a thousand others! Happily the King and his new ministers did not approve of the conduct of these miscreants, who have since been disgraced, and are about (though no

lized world. In other respects the revolution of Spain proceeds firmly and All the agents of despotism have been removed from power, and all who decline to swear to the constitution are humanely permitted to sell their effects and leave the country. The Cortes are not to assemble till June, but in the interim the measures of the Provisional Government appear to deserve confidence.

It is grievous, under these circumstances to find that blood continues to be shed in the Spanish American colonies; but it may be supposed that as soon as the news of the revolution arrives, the Royalist generals will succumb.

Letters from Cadiz dated the 21st of March, state, that till that period, eleven days subsequent to the massacre, no person had ventured to leave their houses, except on the most urgent business, and all the shops were closed. When the guilty regiments, who took the lead in the atrocities of the 10th, arrived at their quarters in Port St. Mary's, their former companions in arms expressed the utmost abhorrence at their conduct, and they were then, as a mark of ignominy, deprived of their arms, and other insignia of a soldier, and marched barefooted to a village called Chipiona, there to remain till otherwise disposed of. General Freyre, however, does not seem in these letters to be charged

with

with more than very culpable indiscretion, in not securing the fidelity of the troops to the new order of things, before he compromised the inhabitants of Cadiz. Reproaches, on the other hand, are freely used towards Valdes and Campana, but without explaining the exact nature of their guilt. On the 20th ult. the whole of the troops in Cadiz took the oath to the constitution, the naval service having set the example on the preceding

day. The ceremony of proclaiming the con stitution took place on the afternoon of the 21st, at 4 o'clock, in the Plaza de San Antonio, the chief scene of the massacre of the 10th, and which is in future to be called the Plaza Constitutional. All the chief men of the city attended, and, notwithstanding the late terrors they had endured, thousands of ladies were seen walking in the streets, in testimony of their joy.

YORKSHIRE

The Committee of the Leeds Workhouse have increased the poors' rates from 6s. to 7s. in the pound.

At York assizes, W. Radcliffe, esq. Rouge Croix, pursuivant at arms, of the Herald College, was found guilty of forging a marriage register, with a view to assist in making out his own pedigree, and tracing his relationship to the Derwent-water family, in order to impose on the Governors of Greenwich Hospital. The offence took place in 1801, by the interpolation of a marriage in an old register book of the parish of Ravensfield, for the 16th century. He was fined 501. and ordered to be imprisoned 3 months in York castle.

At York assizes, FORTY-ONE prisoners received sentence of death; one of whom was executed.

Three respectable manufacturers of Sheffield, were convicted before the Magistrates of paying their workmen's wages in soap, candles, tea, waistcoat-pieces, &c. and fined ten pounds each.

There has been considerable agitation at Huddersfield, owing to a discovery that a great number of the populace in the neighbourhood had armed themselves with pikes and pistols, and meditated an attack on the place. Bodies of them were seen together, and one party was not dispersed without violence. It is in vain to deny, that a considerable ferment prevails nearly all through the manufacturing districts of this county. It would be premature to pronounce of what nature, since it is a prevailing belief, that tools of ministers are the instigators.

The carpet manufactures of this county, is in such a state of depression that it is di-, minished three-fourths, and the woollen considerably.

At Snaith, a man and his wife, of the name of Coates, who had been married only ten days, were both found suspended by the neck-one in the stable, the other in the dwelling house.
