= 120 r)eir';tl;crivt• LONDON, - NION DAY, APRIL W. nree u Clock, is. tn. We have received the Paris Papers of Thursday last. The revolution in Spain has been received every where with joy and enthusiasm by the people, and the Cortes are convoked for the 9th of July. The revenues of the abominable tribunal of the Inquisition have been confiscated, and the late Mi nisters of its vengeance have fled to other conntrie::, loaded with their abominations and crimes. The Gtxett Extraordinary of Madrid, of the 27th ult. em.tains a despatch from Gen. Freyre, announcing that Gewrais Campana and Valdes have been dis placed at Cadiz. The patriotic Colonel Qiiimga has transuutte:l communications to King Ferdinand, containing particulars of the horrid massacres in that city. The people will not be satisfied if the guilty authors arc not punished, cod the Provisional Go vernment is imperiously called upon to bring them to justice without delay. On the 14th and 15th the people of Cadiz, having procured arms, began to skew themselves in the streets, where many soldiers were immolated to the public indignation. During the night of the 16th and 17th, the troops, whose presence could only give rise to new troubles, were - sent off; they have been disarmed. The conduct of the authorities is universally reprobated. The new s respecting French affairs in the Paris Papers is totally destitute of interest. The King is suffi ciently well to transact business in his apartment s • with his Ministers. Wednesday morning the Com mission of the Chamber of Pcers, instructed to con. mence its process against the regicide Louvel. Temoved to die Palace of Justice. He was escort by Rix Gendarmes, and an Agent of Police, to the Chamber of Accusation of the Royal Court, where • he was interrogated•two hours. The Five per Cents. ou Wednesday were 75f. 73c. Rink Stock, 1,442 f• 50c. . . The infatuated workmen of Glasgow, who were the dupes of the treasonable proclamation, which had been circulated, have seen through their folly and are returning to their work, though during •the greater part of last week Glasgow and Paisley were in a state of great alarm. At Stanners Moor, near Falkirk, a party consisting of fifty, armed with different descriptions of weapons, attacked nine yeomanry and the same number of the 10th Hussars, when an engagement ensuing, 19 of of the offenders were taken to Stirling Castle.— Some slight wounds were rece ived b y a few of the yeomanry. Eleven of the Committee of Manage • merit, or the Provisional Governors, were arrested on Tuesday morning and lodged in jail. COMMOTIONS IN YORKSHIRE.

The at ins hitherto captured by the y amount only we beliert, to three pike-heads, a few side arms, and se. veval pike-handles, with Iwo or three scythe blades, fag. (etted into shafts. The pikes are about nine inches lout, re‘entoling the head of a halbert, will, a screw at the end, to fasten into an iron socket, a 1134:II is livened at the top of the pike-handle, and the handles are ft ow sia to eight feet in length ; some of them formed of ash plants, and oiliiirs of deal, rather,,thickcr than the handle of a hay fork. None of the Pikes which have been found are forinep to cut a hurse's bridle ; but we have reason to sup pose that there MY some such instruments, as Hit attempt, b) the way of experiment, was male with one of them to cut a gentleman's bridle, who was last Sunday night riding between Thornhill and Kit klieaton, but a loch, tin-stag the rein, caught the gentleman's pantaloon and tore it hum the knee to the article. t)ur 11 CtlliCbtlii night last, at SeVell o'clock, the magis• hates of Huddersfield, Joseph Winjamin Haigh Al cii, ~ad3otia Ilar,f,ll, convened a meeting of the at the (icurg' luu, intimating that they had a c 1111111 l unication to make to them oft onsideratile imput lances At this meet MA. about 100 of the principal inhabitants and trades peuple..tthe itto attemird, trod Mr. Ilai;th having taken the comir, lie proceeded to state—" That the magis trates hail that there were, on Friday night last final 1,000 to 10do persons in arms in the neigh bourhood of I laddet sfield, a buse ouject it ant, tot bange Yy force the exisiiint order of society, lto rob and plunder the re-pectalote part of the t it).

This was the substance of the coinmanication, and it is scarcely necessary to add, that the meeting instantly gave their sanc tion to the application to the Lord Lieutenant. lis the course of the co 11111 l uuication the chairman very candidly admitted, that he did not believe that the Reformers, as a body, haul any thing to do with the conspiracy, which had sread such very general and well-founded alarm through the neighbo u rhood —the conspirators were the mere dregs of society. CHESHIRE ASSIZES'. Saturday last M'lnnis and Bruce was tried for shooting at Birch, the constable of Stockport, who had Parson Harrison in custody. The particulars of the business have been repeatedly detailed, and the chief evidence was given by an accomplice named Pearson. The Judge summed up at considerable length, and The Jury, without leaving the box, conferred for a few minutes together and brough t in a verdict of Guilty against both the prisoners. I aliately upon this being announced, Wlnnis, in a loud and rather stern tone, said, " Bruce is an innocent man, he knows no mire of the business than one of you (their Lordships). It is too hard that an innocent man should suffer death fur what he has not done. They have all sworn falsely against him. IMU the 111411 that shot at Birch, and Bsuce knows nothing of it, nor any other prison." The prisoners were now Oren from the bar, and ordered to be brought up for judgment on Monday morning.
