LONDON, May 3.

It is thought, the late commotions in Spain will be attended with considerable advantage to Great-Britain. That affair manifestly proves that the Bourbon Family Compact is by no means agreeable to the sense and inclinations of the native Spaniards; that they disapprove of such a close connection with France, and consequently we as well as other nations, may look upon that Compact in a less formidable Light. It shews that the native Spaniards have an antipathy to the French nation, their modes and fashions; and also that they have an affection for the English, and desire to live in friendship with them. As it demonstrates, that the people of Spain do not like to be led by the nose of France, and to be drawn by her in a quarrel with England, so it may very likely tend to prolong the peace. His Catholic Majesty's army of native Spaniards refusing to fire upon their fellow subjects, afford a very instructive Lesson to all ambitious and arbitrary princes, as it shews them their native soldiery will not be concerned in carrying on violent measures, and destroying the rights, liberties and lives of their fellow subjects; and the walloon guards firing upon the Spaniards, is a striking proof, which the people of every country should take especial notice of, how dangerous it is to suffer their princes to keep foreign troops in the nation. It likewise affords a-very useful lesson to all ministers and favourites, as it shews them that no favour of their prince can be sufficient to protect them against the Resentment of an injured and enraged people.
