FIRST SITTING OF THE CONSTITUENT CORTES—SCENE IN THE HOUSE—GOVERNMENT OF THE BODY—ELEC- TION OF A PRESIDENT—POSITION OF THE FOLI- TICIANS. jadrid (Nov. 10) correspondence of London Chronicle.} Ome ‘Count mt Cortes held their first sitting yester- day. The aj of the one ‘ked contrast to that of many years. The the President, and the benches behind and near it, forming the right and right pays of Anoka were dere she! be eo ‘those on the oppo: le were but thin cones. now the case is quite reversed. ‘On the left left cen- tre every seat was occupied, while the benches of the right were almost vacant, and in one of them sat Senor Nocedal, alone. The ministerial bench was filled by the members of the Cabinet. but the seats behind and near them were vacant. This is sufficient to show the almost exclusively progressista character of the Cortes, The business yesterday was to decide by what regulations ita future debates, &2,, should begoverned. Pastor, asthe oldest deputy, took his seat as President, at 1 P.M. A proposition was be os by Senor Bautista Alonson, that a committee should be appointed to report on th subjact, and that the Cortes should continue in perma- nent session till the matter was disposed of. ‘tee of nine members—Senor+ adjourned till the committee could present its report. It met again a little after five P. M., and the re} was received and adopted, with an amendment’ ‘by Senor Cortina. The committee, which undance of precedents to elect from, took something from one and somethihg from another of the vai tions in force under the different constitutions t shave existed here; and the re; ‘as adopted, Prov that a provisional pi it, four provi- sional vice presidents, and four provisional secretaries shall be elected, to form the governing board of the’ Chamber until the latter be definitively constituted, an’ this election was ordered to take place to-day, The above is taken from the regulations of 1847. The other articles provide for the election of two committees to report on the electoral returns—one of seven members, to report on all the returns except their own; and an- other of five members, to report on the returns of the members of the other committee. The ulations of ‘1838 were ado) as regards the forms of discussion and voting in the house. It was decided that seventy deputies must be Br to make a houee (the com- proposed fifty, but adopted Senor Cortina’s amendment to the above effect); and that no other bu- siness, except examining and voting electoral returns, or receiving communications from the government, should be proceeded with till the Cortes were consti- tuted. 210 deputies elect attended this sitting. Four P. M. The election of a Provisional President has just taken lace at the Cortes. Its chief: se itrra lies in its indicat- logie some extent the political tendency of members, as regards moderate and more advanced opinions. General San Miguel was the candidate of the Moderate Progress- istas, and Don Martin de los Heros, Intendent of the Pa- lace, thatof the Exaltados. The result was as follows:— Deputies present... Absolute General fan Miguel, Los'Heros,, oe . 88 One vote was thrownaway. General San’ Miguel was roclaimed President, and the election of Vice Presidents is now going on. It appears that the Assembly is likely to constitute it- self sooner than was thought at onetime. Iam told that there are wesc mvenvatr against the elections for four dut of the forty-nine provinces, and although there may be long debates on petitions, there is an abundance of uno] returns which the election committees (which will be: to-morrow) will doubtless re- port favorably, and will 9 the Assembly, which will proceed to it - id it remains to-be seen whether to-da; va dloee it will be confirmed.

Be thé London Leader, Nov. 11.] The Uni naarrnege not popular at present on this , and are with the voted for Low bt voted for of the tic. Two governments have already hig Soy the fear that really stirs in the heart of several. French ment has itted itself to war u} the private life of an ican citizen, be- Seg hee aiesenems ea eee mi row e 3 an 3 but every Spanish State, Is the of hat an is glo faxon race which is ever on the march wherever ree. The last fact will account for many otherwise un- accountable intrigues. It is in Spain that the American Minister finds himself most the object of paltry social rsecution; not only because he is an American, but use his avowed sentiments do not differ from those who desire to extend the Union, its terri and in- fluence, It is the Moxican and Brasilian Ministers who evince, by their manners, an inscrutable jealousy of the American Minister at the same court. It is Brazil which constantly courts England, notwithstand- ing English slights upon Bri her government, and trade. It is Santa a who is suspected of send- ing over to Europe for a grand instrument, in the ho; that it will stop the southward march of the Anglo- Saxon republicans. And what is the new invention of the adventurer, this Trajan’s wall, this brazen fence of Gog and Magog, to shut out the freemen who are corf- stantly encroaching upon the territories which the Spanish Americans claim and vex, but can neither gov- ern nor settle—what is this grand device todam the ever-encroaching tide? It isa Prince. Yes, Santa An- na, it is said, conscious that the Mexicans, though brave, have neither the political virtue, nor the genius, nor the practical resolve of the Anglo-Saxon, has ap- lied to the royal families to recognize him as King, and o give him as an heir, whom he will adopt, one of their own family. Conceive that! Imagine the Anglo- Saxon trail crossed, fatally and forever, by a Princo ! Think of that as a ‘‘medicine,” or scarecrow, set. up to stop the citizens! Fancy it effectual! Not even a Georgius Tertius, but some cadet Enrique, some poor Pedro, or some disinherited Francois | Will the plan do? Has Santa Anna any such woman’s notion or not? We doubt it. Spanish American imbecility has gone t lengths; the dread of the Anglo-Saxon Unionist ty in the capital of the Montezumas is great; but the tator must have a better knowlege of American pos- ibilities than t Yet we would not venture to assert that the project is without foundation, or without a } collateral object. Its possible purpose will be best uu- | derstood by describing another. There is a great river, which, debouching into the At- lantic, opens the road for the navigator right across the | eastern slope from the backbone of Anseriea, and places the whole interior, with many tributaries, and some of | the most productive lands in the world, at the service of the trader. For years the banks of that river have been nominally in Pomesion of the Iberian races, and the | reat natural highway of exports and imports is use- less. We well remember, some twelve or fifteen | Eger see: oP ingenious adventurer who professedly | ad a grant of the ngvigation from the Brazilian’govern- ment, which was at that time not without liberal views | and enterprise; but the project came to nothing, and the highway is still unused. The enterprising Ameri- | cans of thé great republic have their eye upon the | wasted! stream; they have resolved that it shall be turned to account; and before many years liave passed, the voice of the Anglo-Saxon mariner will be familiar to the echoes of the Amazon. It might be supposed that those who have already avy interest in the stream and its lands would | be rejoiced at the prospect of the indefinite j its value—the change from a desert to the bi great commercial stream. Not at all; they view the coming of the American as the R preach of the White—they d which they have scarcely th dread cisplacement. What ean they do? § renist? It would be in vain, Should they submit would be hateful to Spanish pride. There is one hope—if they could but give the dread Anglo-Saxon work clsewhere. That does not seem im yossible. Almost any pretext will serve. Let them say that a secretary of legation in London intended an of- fence to the Queen. No matterif the Secretary is well | known tobe incapable of any such idle freak—if he is a | gentleman, aman of the world, who wo espise as | worse than a niaiserie, a3 a lécheté timable a lady, whose good name, socially, {2 respected in kngland than in America. Say the intent to offend, pervert the facts, tell a little truth to leaven the lie, and there is at all events the chance of @ quarrel; and the chance is worth a Prazil dia- mond. -Assert that Mr, Soulé is a violent man in| league with French revolutionaries. No inatter if he is in truth @ cautious man, faithful only to oft peronal and political friendships, aud {aking no part in revolationary moves: he isan ‘American Minister, he has to pass through France, and if stopped it miy breed a quarrel between Frange and America.

We allude partioularly to the case of Mr, Nicolini, some time since’ an associate of Mazzini, and avowing his own opinions; conceiving, how- ever, some hope in the power of pesietitusionaiion as developed in Sardinia. Protected by an English citizen- | ship and passport, employed in reporting for an English journal, and desirous of watching the growth of consti- | tutional freedom in a#iew land, Mr. Nicolini expected | that bis honesty would be hostage for his fidelity, and | that the Sardinian government, which claims generous | construction for itself, would Know how to appreciat« generous frankness in others.

Te Beale, convicted of an outrage upon the per- son of Miss Mudge, was brought into the Court of Quarter Sessions this morning, for the purpose of receiving bis sentence. The Fehones was aecompanied by his wife, and was jotned in the court room by his sister and two other dies, and by a number of male friends. The party took their seats iA front of the prisoner’s dock, Dr. Beale looked very pale and careworn, and his face expressed much mental anguirh, His sister wept and sobbed aloud almost incessantly. The court room was full, but not over crowded. There was some delay after the opening, of the court vefore the sentence was pronounced. Neither the Dis- trict Attorney nor either of his deputies were present. At about hali-past ten, Mr. Brown, the counsel for the prisoner, arose and said:— Before your Honor proceeds to pronounce sentence, Dr. Beale hay a statement which he wishes to submit to the | court. In this statement I have, of course, bad no hand nor share. I trust your Honor will hear it. Judge Thompson—Certainly, sir. Dr. Beale then arose, and,'in a faltering voice, pro- ceeded to read the following statement: DR. BBALE’S STATEMENT, Tam aware that the declarations and the solemn as- neve sof a man placed in the circumstances in which I stand before this court, have but little weight upon the public mind. At the same time, I am con- strained to give utterance to the truth, however cau- tiously or scepticully it may be received. It will, in some measure, assuay ¢ anguish of my hours of confine- ment to remember that I protested my innocence of the dreadful crime of which a jnry have convicted me. Tunis I now do, in the most decisive and solemn manner, ap- pealing to the Searcher of all hearis, my Maker, and my final Judge, to witness what I say.’ I never coutempla- ted its commission, I never attempted it.

Deep an Tbave teow wronged by the verdled of the Jur t believe that they could so grossly outrate pro pad malt by tacenty if it had not been oy ha pe But there are facts im my possession which the techm | eality of the law would not allow to be made publie.

And when he comes around his well spread board, and greets tlic smiling happy fa-es of his wife and children, I want him toremember that there is one hus- band and father taking his coarse and scanty fare on the wooden trencher of a pri with no wife to cheer his dreary solitude, and no children to comfost their heart stricken, sorrowful father. And when he goes to the sanctuary on the Sabbath, I wanthim to think of a husband and father in prison, who never boasted of go- ing to “ fifty churches,” but who did feel it » pri to go with his family to the church of his choice, and there in a quiet and humble manner, to learn those les- sons of heavenly wisdom which are almost his only support and solace now. I will add no more, except to reiterate before Go and man my innocence of the charge alleged against me. Mr. Brown requested that the statement be filed, and that it be placed in the hands of the Prothonotary for that purpose. The Court acceded to the request. After the conclusion of the reading of the statement, which was listened to with almost breathless attention, Judge Thompson proceeded to pass sentence as follews,. the prisoner having first been directed to stand up:— Tue most painful duty.
