The natural effect of the Revolution in Spain be s;ll3 to reveal itself in other countries. Sufficient I:me has not elapsed, it is true, to allow na to I.now how the iutelligetsce bas been received in Cernsany: but we see that it has filled with alarm :•;1 the !liras and Anti-Constitutionalists of France. They cannot inveigh against the manner in which t::.• Revolution, has been operated: for having 1 vett attended with no excesses of any kind, it is 1..b1e to no reproach. Servile professors of the 11 •etrine of passive obedience to the will of Kings, they find it equally impossible, without the most glaring inconsistency, to complain of an act which 123 received the Royal sanction. In this dilemma ti:ey take the only course which remains open to them. and, acknowledging that the Constitution must be obeyed, since it has been actiepted by the KING, impugn its wiseom, and even its efficacy. Nay, they kindly express their fears that it is too dei:ciont to prove of any duration ! The Royal Power, they tell us, is rendered so insignificant, t!nit it will be unable "• to over-rule the conflicts ei parties, and to maintain the harmony of the A 1 hole." This as'ertion may gain credit in a ,tintry, where,' till within a very few years, Itoyalty was only known by the strength and cc ttvity of arbitrary Government. But with us, mho have experienced for ages the advantages of limited Monarchy, and whose chief dangers and solTerings have arisen from the unconstitu- Conal attempts made to reinforce the Royal Power. tio.far as to break the equilibrium necessary to the rxistence of our liberties, the tender fears of the Ultras appear as uukuinded as they are hypocriti cal. In only . one point are the 3lbilarch of Spain more restricted than our own. They can defeat the will of tfie Cortes and the wishes of the nation 1 ,, r tiro year*, and no more. Any measure passed t•.y Vie great National Council, and rejected by the KINO during two successive years, becomes the lase e f t' the bi n d, if it he revived for a third time, thong!, his SIAJEsTy should still withold •bis assent. In this we see no danger to the . Thronei but much good and advantage to the I'i ople. Reform, should it ever become necessary In Spain, under the protection of so provident a Constitution, will never prove an idle word. The i•• rfait.ly of its being ultimately carried, will tpperrle to prevent its necessity. And it is a maxim of sound wisdom, in political as well as in !Oat matters. that prerewlion is far prefer able to correelion, as the latter must always, in a certain degree, be attended with pun ink meal. Let the French Royalists, therefore, dis miss their terra*, Spain enjoys liberty, they are forted to allow; and the measures which she has taken, sad the Constitution which she has established, will enable her to enjoy it long and seevrely. The emelt of this charitable alarm lies • . .., . 11 i ii 1 • THE STATESMAN. in this: that in Spain the people Aare imposed al ' Constitution upon the King, and that in France, the A'itog, of his great anidesceasion and goodneas;l hoe Krantert u rery itnd iteade4 nate charter to hia people : a charter, which, living' a Royal gift, may Lie disavowed and recalled b. any of his • successors, and 'can. theref tie% er create that universal stiti,:aetoti at:11 t oldidetwe. without which . the olde,t dysiaAties Ntwal but Ivii a sandy base,— predeatined victimi or Ow s!i:4 - lite•A slums.

It has not been, during the present Session. a subject of conversa tion ; and as there is no proposal for an outfit, I shoul I suppose the plan had hem; relinquished : hut your in. formant has. perhaps, better information on the subject than I have.

This restriction may appear harsh and unnecessary : but when we consider, tint by forming an alliance with a powerful Con tinental Monarch, he might be enabled to render nugatory all the effects of the Revolution, and suc cessfully subvert the new Constitution, it will be re garded as only a proper precaution. - Yesterday the Duke of York, as Commander in Chief, held a lever at his office in the Horse tinards. Perhaps the annals of Horticulture have never exhibited a more extraordinary occurrence than that of the Brow Ananas,or Pine-apple Plant, from which Mr. Robert Buck, gardener.to Lord Bagot, at Blith ' field, Staffordshire, last year produced, of the seed of .one fruit raised the preceding Tear, 725 Pine Plants; and from another, 321 Plants; the former supposed to lbe the largest increase of the kind ever known in England. It is stated in the Jourart! de Grand, that an Eaglish• roan has commenced an action against one of the Ant ibankers in Paris, in order to recover the ratite 'sr a shawl stolen from his wife, at a route given by the bank ter.

Tuesday I.:reniny. Viet o'clock. Between cizht and nine o'clock this morning, Sir Francis Burdett arrived . here. accompanied by Lord Denbigh, in a curricle with a covering at tached to it. The Hon. Baronet was attended by a postilion, with servants behind, in a dickey. Sir Francis took breakfast at the Three Crowns Inn, and after ma k ing a short stay at the above tavern, he departed to jo:n a hunting park• with the Berbidge hounds at Qaotndon, about seven miles from Leicester, and from thence to dine at his acetate, al Kirby-park. The worthy Baronet had on his bunting dress, and over his scarlet coat 1:•' wore a light drab great coat. Serenity and cheerfulness appeared to sit on his brow ; and on his being recognized by a small crowd at theloor of the above inn,te rode off amidst the approbation of the people, and " success wished to Sir Francis." Mr. llarmer, Sir Francis's solicitor, arrived at the Three Crowns Inn oa the preceding evening. Leicester Cattle. The Hononrable Mr. Justice Best opened the proe‘!edings. at A'ini Prif , m, 0 ten o'cl4k, when the Crier of the Court immediately announced, that the trial of Sir Francis BurJett would take place on Thursday morning- next. It appears there is a great deal of business to occupy the attention of the above Court : among which, is a tithe cause of considerable importance. On the Crown Side, the. calendar contains the names of forty-seven prisoners, principally fur horse and sheep-stealing, with numerous petty larcenies. Since the calendar has been published, it seems a person, in a respectable situation of life, has been indicted for a rape, which excites consi derable Interest. The Theatre is not open ; but the Chinese Juggler* are here, at the Long-room, at the Georg,e Inn, to amuse the Gendenten of the Long Robe, should any leisure moments oiTer. In the trial of Sir Francis Burdett, Mr. Serjeant Vaughan and Mr. Realer are retained on the part of the Crown: and for Sir Francis, Mr. Denman and Mr. Phillips; but these gentlemen will only assist him with their professional advice, as the worthy Baronet intends personally to defend his own cause; and, from what we have heard, great expectations and interest is excited, from the well- Ithown powerful and nnimated elorenco possessed by this undaunted and intrepid friend to the cause of freedom. l'he interior of the Castle, where the Assizes are held, has nothing to recommend it to the attention of tNe strf er; in fact, on the contrary, it has a mem' appearance : is very small and inconvenient ; and it is entirely owinz to the polite and gentle manly attention of the Sheriff, that the reporters have any means of fulfilling their duty to the public. The only case of interest which was tried, this day, before that lion. Mr. Justice Best, was that of Bluntadone against Wood and Shaw: it was an action of trover between some farmers and whartingers, for the recovery of a large quantity of corn. Mr. Reader, for the defendants, said the whole was a swindling transaction, and the plain tiff was not entirely free from suspicion of being concerned in it, a jobber having got the possession of the co,.r from the malster, and sold to the plain tiff, when he absconded. The verdict was not given when the post was going out. From its locality, it excited great interest in this town. Naltimikunt„Vemday Ere*lag. Tr* o'Clock. This was A very grand day for the friends of liberty i at this place. Mr. Denman, the Counsel, was re turned by a majority of 33. Mr. Birch was also returned. It is impossible to describe the joy ma nifosted by the populace upon this occasion ; and the chairing of the Members eclipsed, in point of brilliancy, every thing of the kind that has pre- ceded it. The voters walked together in proces sion, and the chairs were richly decorated. Nu merous bands of music also playing the most lively ataiseet airs, dedicated to liberty, gave animation to the scene. Upwards of 100 flags, with various emblems, also gave an imposing effect to this spec tacle. lu the Market-place, which is extremely large, the populace formed themselves into large parties, and country and other dances were per performed, and kept up with great spirit till a late period, when Mr. Denman, after dining with some private friends, left Nottingham to commence his professional duties on the next morning at Leicester Assizes. It is estimated that upwards of 15,000 persons were assembled: but not a Blue was to be seen. It was asserted, previous to the close of the election, that Messrs. Smith and Rolleston had several voters coming from Derby by the coach in their favour, when Mr. Denman, in the most honourable manner, waited for upwards of two hours for the arrival of the Derby coach, which did not contain a single voter. Mr. Denman addressed the voters from the Market-hall, as did Mr. Birch, and were botb loudly applauded. Monday afternoon, a little before lye o'clock, the Princess Augusta, attended by Lady M.
