11 , 4 MIDDLESEX ELECTION. TWSLFTW PAY. This Election, whit!), from the first moment, has Leen so nobly tovntetted, - teeminstedimmardayortens ing to very unexpectedly, that even the Candi date, did nit appear to b.: aware of its close. T. I he in:•ressful Candidates at least it appeared - t od,tro, th o ugh not unwelcome news. We should aiippn.e that the freeholders did not calculate . on the chew of the Election yesterday—no prewar, tiun whatever appeared to have been made far so event KO desirable to the great majority of the people. The crowd •round the hinting was very con wierible before the hoar of four o'clock. A scene took plow at that boor which we are at 's unwil ling to advert too ; but wi cannot pass it over in Mr. Sheriff ROTHWELL, who was absent for some die• from the hustings, in consequence of the deist!, of his daughter, appeared there in great depres.ion of spirits. lle attempted before the clf , se o f t lir poll to @thirty. the electors, when— Mr. R•ll.6ff PARK, NS moved before him. oerttf liorawLLL retired, merely saying, 6.ntlenivto, I know not whether we ace in strict order." Sir. Swriff PARKINS—" Listen to that, Gentle mon ; he knows not whether we are iu order."

I shall therefore forbear to address you.--(Cheers.) Sir. Slwriff PARKINS how stepped forward, but wits received with lulies so very loud and general, ,os to =reef lie for some time from speaking ; he st 14tPt, as well es we could collect in the con fain .. .. said, " You shall not interrupt me." A I leittleasett next him here interfered-- ,, Mr. Sitcyfr, yn have interrupted Mr. Sheriff Itothwell; you brve acted most unfairly." Mr. S;bettlf PARKIN!—" You shall not interrupt me, Sir. Officers, take any person into custody who. ids..ll dare In interrupt me, no matter what I soy."--(A lisagh.)—Mr. Sheriff Parkins then pro. ceedesl; he said they were citizens nut confined to the si .rrow.minded tactics of the Corporation. The Corporation had dime en act of villainy its prn..ecating him, for which he would pledge himself to the country to prosecute them. They 1 1+ d nevi " a chap" (pointing to Mr. Sheriff llothrrell) which they knew to be of their party ; sad sh-y were base and mean enough to talk of a -e keeper—s lottery-office keer—or some d-4 'twig or other.—(o frogh.)-114 the lion was roused —(a laugh)—yes, the bon sea u nused, end Isis enemies would he taken in the cal they intend ed to throw over him.

Shortly after four o'clock the numbers were de rlrred and stood as follow : Ilvaz Whitbread 51ell‘ss The numbers were received with much cheering, I.

Mr. WIIITBREAD now s ood forward: it would be d•lscolt fur us to give any idea of the tidbit slaw svoli which this gentlemen was received; from tile first moment he b tasted (having so malty dear lauu•) he appeased the chief object of popular a.lu►tn.tion and regard, but at the u►osaeut of a •addru thougit uut unexpected triumph, the ex. pres.-i,in of Car people reigned to have no bounds.

These words were' retrivect with ctieir of t "Live Me ConsSitolion. Reli gion, mad the King 1" General Castanet had him self the prudence to yield• the civil and military power to General Villacampa, He *erased this to be forgotten, but on the 13th an extraordinary courier brought the intelligence that the King had sworn to the Coustitutiou, and by the same dispatches General Castanos, General Colours, and their par titions, Were confirmed iu their employments.— The people were apprised of this, and repaired to the Palace at the some time as the Bishop► and his Vicars. Villacampa appeared on the balcony with Calliallof, where they embraced, but the cries were still heard of " Lice frillacampa ! perish Cos !anus .t" Villacampa succeeded in maintaining tranquillity, and in saving Castarros from the venge ance of the people, by means of a strong detach stem of troops. A junta of citizens, nominated by the people, and rhaviog Villacampa at its head, quickly assembled, eats avoid greater eSils, de eded that General Castanet, his Aides-de-Camp, General Copan,. the Marquis de Villa, ?Ewell, stud others, should leave Barcelornr, and be con riveted to Madrid under a good escort. This decision was announced to the people, and tranquil lity was quickly restored. We are assured that the Provisional Junta is shout to send Commissioriers to different parts of South America, with proper instructions for restor. ►ug peace to Orme countries. Hopes are entertained tha' the new Republics are not indisposed to unite under the constitutioual monarchy. The American delegates in London have often declared it. Bolivar alone could oppose it, but the heads of the Republic of Buenos Ayres will probably consent. MADRID. MARCH 16, 10 p. in. M. Perez de Castro is appointed Minister of State.

Mr. Whitbread and Mr. Brig were shortly after chaired. The termination of the election twos too elpected, and no preparations whatever were made.

His Majesty has suffered a slight indispo. sition, which has not been attended with say ill consequences.—(Morritestr.) It was on Friday that the indisposition of the , king was manifested by retching►. His Majesty then frit v►olent pangs of the gout in his stomach, which rendered respiration very painful. On Friday night and Saturday he was worse, and his Majesty had a I►igh fever. Yesterday his health improved., as the bulletin of his physicians ►hews. On the gist of March an Englishman. named Crowe, passing through Bourdestsx, accompanied by his secretary and valet de chambre, was arrested at the hotel whe►e he alighted. In about two houp he received permission to proceed, and lie Mime• diately departed. Ile was ou his way from Paris to Spain, was travelling post, and to expedite his journey was preceded by a courier. MADRID. MARCH 16. Two Royal Decrees have just appeared relative to the fitiativer. The first imports in substance, that the King had always &eked to separate the direction or tli! public credit from the odroisoi stration of the Treasury, boot ti►s% circuumasKarlied ',ferruled the resliviiK of his wish. At present his Majesty declares. I wish not to cause a moment** deiny to the execution of the cc. tick 353 of the Constitution to which 1 hare sworn, and which prescribes this separation. " It is iii con. arquence ordained, that from this moment the esta blishment of public credit is separated from the Tressury. D. Bernardino Trines y I'redo and D. Antonio Barata, who had been stained by the Cortes Administrators of Public Credit, will resume their funciious." _ _ . The secoud Decree, after having repealed the 338th and subsequent articles of the Conuitution, which directs the Cortes to fix the annual amount of the taxer, a tttttt truces that, considering the ne etosity of covering the expeuires of the State, the King, after hating informed the Provisional Junt■ of Government. cositinues the. existing system of taxation, until the General Codes can assemble. His Majesty declares that he has taken the most prompt measures to accelerate their meeting. This capital conp ato enjoy perfect tranquil lity. The Inquisit has been abolished. the press declared free, and all the inquisitors have re ceived au order to quit the capital: all those Milt viduals who exercised a great iailluence over the King have also bees removed. It is wished that the Cedes should be convoked for the lit of May. The Constitution is now proclaimed through' all ' "Spaid; anti *Geneva' Fr( re published it iu his army, before knowing the events at the capital. The unfortunate city of Cadiz is the only one which still suffers the consequences of civil war. The 10th and 11th of this mentl► the people gave a loud expression to their sentiments in favour of the Constitution. They u►et with oppaUtiou in the garrison; arms were again etuplo3ed, and blood shed; it is vitro said that some houses were pillaged. The details are not yet kuowt►. but the g►eatest cot.• fusion reigned iis the city, where the royal pleasure could not be known till the 13th. At Sao Audero the proclamation oldie Constitu. lion, which was trot mode till the 13th, was mecum pouted with some mmures of rigour. 'Else Gover nor, Quesads, was arrested, M. Vial, a merchant, and some other persOns. At S•n Sebastian General Arisaga died of grief, at whamming the fall of the party opposed to the Cortes.

TILE BRITESI-UPRESS. LONDON, F WAY . . I ti.. His Majesty's Ministers owe it to the integrity of their own characters, mid as some atonement to the public fur the delusion which their speeches and acts were calculated to produce, to express in some striking manner their displeasure at the disinge nuous practices of those who abused their confidence upon the subject of the melancholy events at Man cheste►. The evidence produced on the trial at York—the observations made by the Judge on that occasion—and the verdict of the Jury, prove how very grossly the Government had been deceived. Every one was aware that the Ministers neither spoke nor acted, with regard to the proceedings at Manchester, but upon instructions derived from ethers on whose veracity they relied, and it was never imputed to them that on a subject so mo mentous they purposed wilfully to mislead the Le gislature and the public. In being deceived, they experienced only the common fate of human stature, but they have now a glorious opportunity of re deeming their involuntary error, and of acquiring It title to public esteem and gratitude, by express. iug their indignation at the conduct of those who practised upon their unsuspecting credulity. _ . We know not whether the Law Officers of the Crown will think it proper to snore for judgment upon the verdict obtained against Mr. HUNT on the fourth count of the indictment ; for as the Jury acquitted the Defendants upon the important cherge of the conspiracy, and of all evil intention, the judgment *Mt trite present verdict can award only a nominal penalty. Mr. HUNT has indeed signified his intention of moving for a new trial, upon the grounds, we understand, that evidence net properly admissible was received against him, and evidence rejected which he conceived necessary for his defence—that the verdict was contrary to the evidence—and that hie Jury was not fairly con stituted. The country has been already Sufficiently agitated by the unhappy events to which the trial referred, cad as vengeance commit be the object of any well-ooestituted tinged, we think it would be of advantage if all further legal proceedings con cerning those events were now droplet& by mutual consent. The manner in whisk . the subject has been treated by. the public, will, we trust, operate as a wintery caution to all bodies of Magistrates and of yeomanry iu the empire, slot to interfere rashly and violently with the rights and liberties of the peuple. This object, we are convinced, not. withstanding the very ill-advised einumendations bestowed upon the conduct of the Civil and Mili tary Authorities at Manchester by the KING'S Mi.. Marrs, has been as eftetually uttuined as if two or three of the Magistrates and of the yeomanry had been retested or the murder of those who , perished in consequence of their rash and cruel pm. `, f s tet" .- 4 it.' t . . r: • lie. Meetings of the people were held in se. 1 veiiirpa . rt s of the country subsequent to the 16th 1 of Assam. M all of which the proceedings of the Magististeiandyeeimary of Manchester were se warty censured. but us Magistrate or soldier un dertook to disperse them. On these reversl mem sons the people acted with as much decorum and good order as prevailed on the fatal field at Man chester ; and the business of their meeting being occomplislied, they separated as peaceably as they did on many similar occasions previous lo the hhachester meeting, and as they would undoubt edly have dose at Manchester. had the Magistrates evinced less seal and more discretion. We sin. cerely believe that those Magistrates (with the ex ception of one who now enjoys the reward of his zeal) have often wished that the fatal occurrences of the 16th of August had never happened—that they had been less pftcipitate, and bad reserved the exercise of their strength until some symptoms 1 of a 'mischievous spirit had been manifested by the people. Paris PAWS of Monday last have arrived at our office. The King of FRANCE has been seriously indisposed. His MAJESTY was first attacked on Friday, when he experienced violent pains of the gout in his stomach, which almost prevented respi. ration. During the night of Friday his MAJESTY became much worse, and on Saturday he laboured under a high fever, the veins still continuing, but on Sunday the fever abated, and respiration became less painful. The following Bulletin was joined at nine o'clock on Sunday morning:— " ne" King is better. His Majesty slept for Imo Imam. The fever bat abated, sad respiration is meets teal painful. (biped) " PORTAL ALHIERT." At eleven o'clock his Majesty was enabled to re ceive the visits of some members of the Royal Fa. roily. and heard mars it► his apartments. At one o'clock the Ministers and some of the grand Dig nitaries of State were admitted to hia Chamber. The illossilear speaks of the KING'a indisposi. Lion as slight, and not likely to be attended with any ill consequences. These Papers contain some further particulars of the progress of the revolation•in Spain. The public press of Madrid begins already to exercise its new-born privilege, and expresses opinions upon public affairs with some degree of freedom. Two periodical publications have been already cons ommed in the capital, and no doubt they will soon be succeeded by others in all parts of the kingdom. We stated yesterday that Cadiz had declared for the Constitution before au account of the events in Madrid had reached that city. The zeal of the inhabitants, no longer capable of restraint, over powered every obstacle that opposed their wi►hes. They encountered some resisinuce from the giant. son, and received the fire of the troops, by winch it is said about sixteen people were killed; but the friends of the Coustitution were eventually suc cessful, and on the 9th of March the Constitution was proclaimed in Cadiz, in the presence of Gene rals FREYRE and VILLA.VICENCIO, and the other Generals and Admirals of the army and uterine united. In the excesses which unfortunately either preceded or accompanied this event some house. were pillaged, and lives were sacrificed to the in . flamed fury of the populace. Among the victims are mentiuucJ the names of Generals Comma and VALDEZ. On the toth General FREYRIL caused the Constitution to be proclaimed at Seville. The greatest tranquillity prevails at Madrid, and inured the only part of the Peninsula which has hitherto suffered airy ill consequences from the revo lution is Cadiz, which, as the Moaitewr fairly re marks, mutt be attributed to the want of intelli gence in that city of what had occurred in Madrid. A Flanders 51811 arrived last night with Paper. from Brussels to the I • !9th inst. The following •re extracts : IROS, 1111ARCII 16.

In the sitting of the Second Chamber of the States.Geueral. at the lisgoe. the project of the law was read for segalating,the public expenditure of the kingdom for tew year*. commencing with the year I$?O.

The letters from Lisbon received yesterday state. that the Government there lad detached a vessel with all the particulars of the Spanish RevuhiTo m to the Court at Rio Janeiro. Fears were ewe,- tamed that the Portuguese might follow the ex ample of the Spaniards, in demandiog some chsoge in their preseut Coostitution. The Middlesex Election terminated yesterd.,v by the resignation of Mr. ME.t.t.tsu, the MI, : serial Candidate, and the consequent return Mr. BYNG and Mr. WHITBRICAD. The result this contest has +hewn the strength of the WI. interest in the metropolitan county in a very f.- vourable light, and proves how deep an interest 11e freeholders have felt in the political occurrei,er• the two last yeast. Lawg possession of his ir.e. and extensive acquaintance with his consfitioenis ample fortune, liberal disposition, and polished man ners, could not atone in the peruse of Mr. MEttriin for his devotion to Ministers. The public are at length beginning to appreciate the character of the present Cabinet, and to perceive how the Members of it are to watch ocer the actiun of a Constitution founded on principles of Ebert. Nothing. however, in the contest became M . MeLhasn so much as his conduct on his defeat. The good temper with which he bore it. trod the kindness of his manlier. elicited the plaudits of even his political opponents. Of the teas Membris of Parliament returned fur the threesections of the metropolis', and fur the metropolitan county, seven are decidedly the friends of constitutional 11— berty; and of the remit' • g three, there are 140,. who profess themselves to be perfectly independent of ministerial influence.
