The Revolution in Spain, as far as the
interests Of the people Of that kingdom arc
concerned, must be looked upon with great
interest. II marks an era in Spanish civ
ilizalion. 1t is perhaps the very first proof
of the existence of a public sentiment
strong enough 10 control the Government
without resort to violence. The Govern
mem of Spain has been revolutionized, not
hy faction and conspiracy, not for specu-
larion or the interest Of clique, but by
the people. and for the sake Of great and
plain principles of civil liberty. 1t has
hccn rcvournnized peaceably, by a mere
demonstration and shew OF the popular
will. This is prodieious adva"ce TO-

HIGHLY IMPORTANT FROM CANTON
By the arrival of the Ann NJ kim, Captain
Martin, in l04 days from Canton, we have re-
ccived twenty days later intelligence from
China and the East, than by the overland mail,
by the way of Egypt and Eng land.
The news is OF the mighticst importance to
the civilized and commercial world.
We have given n variety of extracts from
Canton papers, together with our co.respon-
dencc. exhibiting and describing one OF lhe
greatest military movements that has taken
place in Asia, since the era of Ghcngls kiian
or Alexandria the Great or of Aahomet and
the Caliphs.
1t will be perceived that only part Of the
British force had arrived but that they intend
to land in China, and attack its powers with
10000 well disciplined Europeans, 1000 rifle
men and 1000 Cnmeronans, with ample stores
of artillery, to carry into effect the demonstra-
tion upon thar empire. With The military
force. backed by naval force, and four large
war steamers, there is every probability, that
MS great revolution will he produced on Chi.
na, and on Asia. rs the GOO fierce and bold
troops of Corles effected on the ancient Mexi-
can Empire.
The progress of this movement is frausht
with important consequences to the history OF
Asia and of the world. In former ages all tho
conquerers, and master spirits of revolution,
cam from Asia towards Europe. with one
solitary xception-Alexande the Great. Now
Europe is returning the poisoned cIalice to the
East, aud terrible change will be produced in
consequences.
