The Revolution which has been so speedily and tranquilly eftected in Spain, argues very much in favor of the enlarged views, religious, moral and political, in that nation; We find by a Madrid article of the 2nd March, that the new Council, who advised and supported the kin? in this measure of wisdom

and moderation, consisted of the following distinguished characters viz:' His Royal Highness infanto Don Carlos; the Duke de Infantadd the Duke of San Fernando Bishop of Madrid the Counsellor of Castille M. Lardizabel, and Counsellor of State Mr. Rivas. Bordeaux , March 14. The Insurrection has at length become general in Spain. A Courier who arrived here yesterday, brought intelligence from various constitutional chiefs, and several new journals, f rum which, on account of wane of room, we can make but tew extracts. The intelligence bf o't is further confirmed by a Russian courier, who passed thro here yesterday, and who had quitted Madrid on the morning of the 9th insr. He adds, that after the almost unanimous declaration of the army and people, and the energetfc demonstration of gen. Bdlestercs. t he King found himself obliged to proclaim the eonstituci ju of the Cortes, the same as we announced yesterday. Tire prisons of the Inquision were universally thrown open, and a general amnesty was about singing when the Courier left there. drJosss yth March. Never has a political taangc been brought about vith so much tranquility and tinion. The constitution has been proclaimed the day before yesterday, by all the people, and the garrison composed ot two regiments of infantry and one of cavalry. Military music, and a general illumination, terminated this memorable day. The joy of the people of Arragon was at its height. The marquisd'Alazon, Captain General; has been confirmed in his command, and the Count de Cisirezon who had replaced him by order of the king, has been arrested and sent back to Madrid. Madrid, March 6. All has terminated happily: the weakness ot the government araint the immense force of puolic opinion, does not even cive time enough to organize the contest between light and darkness. The Conte d'Abisbal, who called himself the friend of Ferdinand, has gone to Ocana, where he has put himself at the head of a regiment commanded by one of hi brothers, and has arrested the public authorities, and proclaimed the constitution. He continues the same operation in the diilercnt towns of the channel. Several piquets of cavalry from this garrison, and many gardes de corps, have deserted, with their arms and mountings. All the corps of engineers and sappers which were at Aicala have disappeared. Finally, all the provinces are declaring

tliera selves independent, and constituting provisional governments. All these events which follow each other with such rapidity, have forced the king to declare that he would consent to the wishes bf the people, and show the most, lively movements of joy; and we hope that this great crisis will be terminated without tKe smallest misfortune. It is asserted that gen. Freyre, in concert with the patriots of thcTsla ue Leon, has likewise proclaimed the constitution, which has been published at Segovia, and fixed on in every quarter; but a foolish ecclesiastic, who had the boldness to tear down one of these bills, was immediately put to death. Victoria , March 9. Saragossa has proclaimed the constitution; Carthagena has done the same; and it is Slid that Catalonia has followed the

examole. The 8th o. this month the king was te publish ic in Madrid. The funds have been already negotiated at 76 francs. Gazette Extraordinary cf Madrid, Wednesday, March 8. . OFFiCl L ARTICLE.

At the last term of Walton Superior Court, in this state, a man by the name of John Wright was tried for Selling, as a slave, a female child about two years old, that had been placed in his hands by its mother tor nurture. It appeared in cvidence, that the child had very dark hair and complexion, and was imposed upon the purchaser as a mulatto or Indian; tor it was represented to him by the seller, that it had been obtaincd in the Indian Nation. As do other crime in the penal code appled to the case, Wright was indicted for talsc imprisonment, was convicted, and received the highest punishment known to this last offence. The bill of sale from Wright to the purchaser was introduced in evidence, by which he had doomed to perpetual servitude an individual born as free as himself. NO T ICE.
