J*uagar, who was the bearer of the joint Note from the Allied Govern ment td the Porte, 112,1 been well received, and had several interviews with the RCS Eritlllit, it is said that the SULTAN had refused to make any advances towards an arrangement. It is admitted, however, that the SULTAN is extremely anxious that the British and French Ambassadots should return to Constanti nople. We have every expectation that this event will take place at an early peliod ; but it is evident from all the infotasation which niches us that the SULTAN has no intention to treat with Russia, and that his policy is to renew his friendly relations with the other Great Powers, with a view, probably, of inducing them the mole readily to preserve the integrity of his Empire. The French Funds were raiher higher on Saturday. We have given extracts from these Papers in another column. The two Houses of Parliament afforded last night the same scene whi,h almost every evening lately has' witnessed. Innumerable Petitions from all parts of the country were presented against Concession to the Catholics, while a few only were received in favour of that measure, and those few were generally from Catholics or Unitarians. It is no longer possible to assert for a moment th it the voice of the people is not decidedly against the intended Bill, and if, as •e believe it will p►ove, that the opposition throughout the whole country is daily increasing, we think that, even yet the Government must pause, and adopt a course more consoornt to the wishes of the majority of the people. While on this su! , ject we must protest against a docirine now daily used in Parliament and out of Pi liament, thit because a measure comes recommended, in a Speech from the Throne, it must be considered as the act of the SOVEREIGN, and treated with all the respect' due to that exalted Personage. This doctrine is altogether unconstitutional. The Speech is tl e act of the Ministers, and 'they alone, not the Kttto,are accountable forit ; and therefore, Abe sentiments expressed in it 'should not be personally attributed to his MAJESTY. Instances in our history are not unfrequent, in Which expressions have been used in the Royal Spe:•ch, which were in direct opposition to the knots n feelings and opinions of the KING, and it is by no means certain that the lan guage of the recent Speech is such as his present gra-' cious MAJESTY would hive used, if he could have ex pressed his own sewitnents. But, as we before said, it is altogether unconstitutional to -view the Speech as the immediate act of the SOVEREIOW, and therefore to talk of any measure as being necessarily entitled to adopting, because it is recommended iu the Speech on tire open:ng of the Seesion, appears to us as ridiculous as it would be to assign 'the same consequence to any other aot of the Minister of the day.

Chairman of Me Committee at Oxford ; To C. J. FS NE* CLINTON, Esq. M P. Chairman of thp Ormienittee in London; For condor:dem the ibetion of Sir It Hamm lonics, Dart. Way - University of Oxford. London, March 2,, lan. . . . _ Mr nun Sias—l am* yes, gratefully and respectively, for the honour which you as my other Friends have conferred upon me, by your support at the late Election of a Representative for the University of Oxford. The trust to which lam thus and.. daily called is one which I have always regarded as the most va. luable to which an English Commoner could attain. That tree reflected honour upon even such men as Sir %Vitus* SCOTT and Mr. Minos : It was the object of Mr. Casteree's early and late ambition; and in the discharge of it Mr. Piet for many year, faithfully and honourably represented the opinions of the most en. lightened body of Constituents' in the Empire. To succeed any one of these distinguished individuals, in such a nation, is a prize fur which any other man might well feel it to he his highest honour to contend; but I regard not my success as any matter of mere personal gratilication, because I cannot attribute it to any personal preference in my favour. I value the result of the Election at re cording the high-minded consistency with which the great majority of the first University in the world has refosed to listen to every ordinary and sordid motive of personal interest. I value that re sult still more, as recording deliberately the opinions of the most intellectual and most influential body in England on the Roman Catholic Question—the great trial which was practically submitted to them in the persons of the two Candidates. I value it, because it has proved, that in the judgment of mi many en•itied to guide public opinion in sa many part. of England, the Constiul•on of England ought to be preserved fundamentally anJ exclusively Pro. testant—that no infringement ought to be made on the great set ekatent of 1655, under which, by the blessing of Goo, tlit.cpontry has bectime the greatest, the most free, the happiest of nations; and that, in order to plumate the continuance of these results. we must continue the operation of the same causes; and must fermis a Protestant People, with a Protestant Legislature, the wily se curity for a Protestant King. With an earnest desire to support the municipal tights and pri vileges of the University, with an ardent determination to uphold, by all the means in my power, the cause of the Established Church, and to promote, in Parliament, the best Interests of the country which are ideatifled with that Church.—l have the honour to remain, with great respect, your obliged and faithful sere int, ROBERT HARRY INGLIS. Extract of a letter received by the Rinaldo peke, from Vera Clue, this day (2J March,:—. • • .4 Mexico, Mich Dem-miser, lila. de The day after the depagtore,of the 1-st packet Athe 30th ultimo) a Revolution brnke out in t .►s City, the • effects of - which will be Icng felt; its object was t o te. move General Pedraza, Minister of War aid Pn si 'ent Elect, and declare General' Guerrera fit ure riesident, in direct opposition to all law, justice, and the praociplea of the Constitution. 4 ' The Chiefs of the revolting party were Generals Guerrera and Lobato, and Z avala, Ehe Ex-Governor of the State of Mexico. These, taking advantage of : the absence of Filivola, the Commandants General of Mexico, who was with the regular troops escocting the convoy of money to the coast, seized the artillery on the night o. the 50th of November, and armed all the militia of the city, who declared in their favour I at the same time they possessed themselves of the citadel, and aU .the military stores of the Oovesoment, and lortibed thentselves is 'their different positions. " Few active exertions were taken against the revolting. party until two days afterwards, when Felivola and the troops returned, and then the attach cdtameaced with the greatest fury on both sidess—tbe city and inhabi(arits being exposed for two days tb • a helvy bre of cannon and musketry through aU the streets and avenues. " the troops of the Goverirment behaved with the greatest in. trepidity, and on the morning of the 4th inst. had defeated the troops of Guerrera and Lubato, in all points. liut by secret and treacherous orders, given, it is said, by Victoria, the Presideat who was in the palace (Fedraza ►eeing, without being able to rie. tea th, treachery, having retired the night before), all the OA. dons were shamefully abandoned at a time when victory was almost in their hands, and the regular troops eh her went over to Guertera or left the city. " The victorious parry, consisting of all the cartajle and sires collates with which the suburbs abounds, then enters? this odor. tunate capital, and'agreeable to a previous pledge of Gen. Lohato, who commanded them. they proceeded to a - general sack of the PAtiall (or general bszaar), situated in the great square and iu (goat of the palace. " The scene of horror and indignity that then commenced it Is impossible to describe--suffice it to say, tint it reflects indeiibie disgrace on the President acid those in command, to have permitted such an atrocious act on the properties and persons of their fellow citizens, and that berate the Palace ant in presence uf_tbose who maned as victors. The soldiers and mob then proceeded to attack some of the shops and houses of the old Spaniards, which they aim pillaged, and murdered in cold blood the old Count del Valle, who was attached to the opposite party. " It was not until the morning of the sth that an end was put to those iniquitous proceedings: 'Tile Amount of low by the sack is estimated n few. (*Mims dollars, t•Tbe number of killed in eke attack and defenpe,Soo,amongst which are many unfortunate cant- Armen, who; fro m' curiosity or ignierance. were in tar streets. ' • " None' of the 'houses or petoperty of the British have sustained tirred) , any losses by these unfottunate and distressing occuertoceir 'but, indirectly, they certalnly have, a s the merchants old* Perim (natives and Spaniards) of large espital have now lost every Miffs many Britfda kouses.will be great sufferers. " The city it now, I am happy to say, pie, and the present Go. vetoer has renewed to the British guaranties for our pErsuas and properties under every circumstance. All is nowt yet over, and there is seed for a long civil war, nnless the States confederate and support each other agaimt this unnapation. Those Stares who have voted for Pedrosa in the majority will not likely to put up with suck a gross and open infraction of eke Institution. Several have already declared against the Guerrera party (or the Par/rise faction), and the Senate. after having protested against these illegal proceedings, kw dissolved itself.' " Felivola is In Puebla s which is the rallying point for the (deeds of the Government s and when, he bas collected a considerable number of troops. He has teethed the City. and cut off all the resout ma of the other party from the coast.
