We have received some very interesting and important details from Mexico, and regret very much that .want of space prevents their appearing to-day. The fluctuation in Portuguese bonds, being attributable to' the reported recognition of Don Mic Uzi. by his brother, .proceeds, as we are inform ed on good authority; by the intentions of immediately depositing in the Bank of England, money for the payment of the dividends, to which we particularly al luded some days ago. We shall very shortly be en abled to furnish our readers with more positive informa tion on this transaction, which is so highly honourable to the Brazilian Government. Having from the commencement of our labours in July last, determined to make foreign politics—and especially those of Prance—a Conspicuous feature of the STAR, we have omitted no opportunity of commenting on passing events among our neighbours, nor of reply ing to such doctrines and assertions in the columns of our contemporaries, as seemed to call for censure,l or to require refutation. We considered this to 'be particularly incumbent on us, whenever writers—whose sentiments were evidently opposed to freedom—at tempted to make the columns of professedly liberal papers on this side the channel, the vehicle of their opi nions. Although we do not arrogate to ourselves the merit of having silenced E. E. and X. of the ' Times, it is highly creditable to the conductors of that influential Journal, to have rejected their late communications, since none have appeared for some weeks. They cannot in fact be indifferent to the mis chievous effect of allowing the opponents of public liberty to make its organs subservient to their anti-liberal doc trines, and false representations. It was in our anxiety to prevent this mischief, and at all events refute what we felt to be untrue, that we noticed the Parisian Cor respondent of the Chronicle, a paper so long distin guished for its pure politics and constitutional advo cacies. Admitting, which we readily did, that 0. P. Q. possessed n large fund of information, we denied— as we still •dO—his sweeping asseverations with re gard to the extent of the Republican party and feeling which exist in .Frapce. The truth and justice of all our remarks on this subject have been amply corro . berated by many: striking comments in the Contitu tionnel, and Courrier Fru/Mats. Without going further back, it is utterly impossible to read the sixth and seventh letter of this writer, and not feel convinced that his ob ject is neither more nor less than to excite such alarm among the Cabinets and aristocracies of Europe, as . led :to• the coalition of the revolutionary war, and all its ' ruinous coneepiencee: We will extract only two short passeges, • and leave it for our readers to decide on the cor , rectness or fallacy of tour conclusions. After pointing out who are the advocates for the " sovereignty of the people, the right of a nation to choose its own Government,' and the substitutiOn of a republican government for a limited Monarchy," o, P.

It is 1 -.A * sign of the times, by which Princes should hasten to profit, if they hope to avoid the calamities and vicissi tudes of which the history of the last forty years presents so many melancholy examples. But to believe with 0. P. Q. that the ORLEANS family, or the mass of the French people sigh for a Republic, would be a most glaring absurdity, equally opposed to fact and reason. The next passage, in which 0. P. Q. gives a loose to all .his rancour against the liberal party, and discloses his real principles, is as follows : "The Liberal Journals are guilty of the grossest decep tion. They affect love for the King, love for the Royal Family, love for the Bourbons. They do this to avoid startling the public, and confounding or arousing Europe. They think that if they declared their real sentiments and wishes, they would frighten the timid, mean, moderate men from their party, and thin their ranks. " Little by little" is their motto; and therfirst attack the Ministers, and then Royalist principles ; and, finally, they will speak out, and say, 'Wherefore have we a King to reign over us?' " I hate the hypocrisy of the Liberals in this particular. The veil is not thick enough to disguise the figure which is beneath it, and it is unworthy of men who profess to contend not about persons but principles. But I will mills this veil. I will show that the Liberals do not love the King—do not respect the Bourbons•-do not desire the perpetuity of the Monarchy—and that they lie, when they profess to feel either respect, affection, or loyalty." 111 reply to this violent tirade, we boldly assert, that the political leaders of France, and the majority of both Chambers, are decidedly favourable to a limited Mo narchy, rather than a Republic ; and that the great mass of the people—including the army and marine—are per fectly. indifferent to the matter. And this preference of Monarchical Government on the part of the leaders and majorities, arises from a , conviction that neither the institutions, habits, nor manners of their country, are suited to republican forms. It is almost needless to add, that the complete failure of the experi ment made in 1793, is another powerful motive among all classes, for regarding the re-establishment of a Re public as among the " wild and visionary" projects of the day. While there is one settled conviction with regard to the actual feelings of the predominant party in France, we do not pretend to deny that a prolongation of the present unhappy disagreement between the Court and the People—or the pertinacious adherence of the former to a minority, composed of men violently adverse to public liberty—might produce an extraordinary change.. • We have over and over again repeated, that the sym pathies of all Europe are with France, and for this very obvious reason : that there is not a single state from the wilds of Siberia, to the straits of Gibraltar and Cape Spartevanto, in which a greater or less degree of oppression and misrule has not prepared men's minds for those reforms, which can alone eradicate existing evils, and afford guarantees for the future. We ask, for the hundredth time, whether wisdom, prudence, and policy does not suggest to Princes and Ministers, how infinitely better it would be to meet the universal wish by timely adaptations, than persevere—as they blindly do—in a course, which cannot fail to renew the calami ties of French revolution ? There is not a syllable of foreign news received this day to which we can attach the slightest importance. We have German and Paris papers; but they are equally barren. From Marseilles we are informed that the re ported abandonment of the PORTE by his ally in Egypt is all a fiction. ALI PACHA seems to bo sensible that ' an attempt to make himself independent, though crowned with success for the moment, would in the end only hazard his own existence." MARSEILLES, Dec. 2. We have good reason to believe, that all that has been said of the ambitious projects of Mabomet AU Paths of Egypt, is founded on mere Actions. A person who has lately arrived here from Alexandria, and whose situation afforded him the means of making himself acquainted with the real sentiments of that extraordinary man, asserts that be Is very far from desiting to dissolve the ties which unite him with the Porte. He is too weli acquainted with the policy of Europe not to be aware what interest it takes In the preservation of the Ottoman Empire. Hence he infers, that if an attempt to make himself independent th-.ugh crowned with success for the moment, would In the end only hazard his own existence. At this moment Eng lish influence preponderates in the Divan at Cairo ; but if the Inte rests of France were in more able hands than those of M. Drovetti, we might be the more confident that Mehemet would again be dis posed to favour us, as he has a personal regard for the French, and most of the foreigners in his service are of that nation...—Ntovss bong Correspondent, Dee. 14.

We infer to a very sensible and feeling fitter In indthSr column, on the subject. of UNPORTUWATZ That the Institutions at present existing can only be re garded ai partial and insufficient asylums fee this un- , friended class, we have been long aware ; but ihe pubhe is little acquainted with the imperfections and vices of $ system, which—ostensibly claiming to be charitable—is deformed by much inward injustice, and practices which revolt humanity. We trust that we shall hear farther from our correspondent on these matters ; he seems to be feelingly excited by the contemplation of our perverted charities, and we invite him to persevere. With reference to one establishment alluded to in his letter—the Magdalen—we know that the usage pro ngs, which he reprobates, " of shutting the gates against the penitent applicant without any examina tion into the merits of the case, with this answer — The house is full." We have, however, some ques tions of our own to put, to the Committee • who conduct examinations for admission at the Magda len, and especially to the 'Chaplain of that estab lishment, who is a. leading member of the said Cow mime. And first, we will ask that Committee—anti the reverend member 'of it more especially—whether they have not frequently turned into the Street Wanks., im, ploring females, whose aberrations—to their knowledge— were marked by many palliatory circumstances, which entitled them to peculiar protection ?. We ask the reverend Chaplain, whether he does not teeollect—in the year . 18/3:---turling away one stipPlhinf In particular, whose youth, whose education, and whaler repentant anguish appealed eloquently against the cruel exclusion, aid me rited far other treatment ? And we call upon that Com mittee to deny, if it can, that it has often stated to a forlorn applicant—and that it did state, to this one more immediately in question—that she wasnot suPTICIUTTLY DEPILAVID, to entitle her to the protection of the Mag dalen/ Thus making the very virtue of the Penitent a bar to her reception in a Charity, instituted for the express purpose of reclaiming and shielding just such individuals as the applicant, from the barbarity and scorn of the world ! We join heartily in the invitation given by our Car' respondent to the Directors of those establishments, and we hope that some among them will have grace enough to answer his interesting queries. He is evidently a person in possession of many secrets of the prison -house, and if the authorities continue contumaciously silent, the way to reform may yet be paved by the divulgation and exposure of these. There are no institutions of the country, rifer of abuse than are its charities. CITY, TWELVE &CLOCK. We have no arrivals this morning of consequence, and not a single ship letter has come to hand; consequently we are quite destitute of political information to the present time. Consols, which left off yesterday at 041 to 95, opened at the same price, soon after were done at 99 for the Account; since which they have returned to the former price, with little doing. Accounts from Toulon state, that a vast numb's' of ships are now in that port, waking orders for their destination; In came. quence of which, varloes reports are in circulation. By some it is asserted, that they are destined to return to the Mores, whilst ethers assert they are to proceed to Algiers : but It is certain that the Dey strongly solicits peace. It is also stated, that the Pasha of Egypt. whose navy is numerous, has a design to take Algiers, and proclaim himself Day, and will be assisted by France. In the Foreign Mirka there is some business doing in Brasil Stock, which has laspreved. Accounts from Madrid, of the Bth Dec. state, that the amnesty would be made public on the 12th this month ; but it eralerienced great opposition. The new Bank of St. Ferdinand inspires great confidence, and the Minister of Finance appears to ►e greatly in fa •our of its ,operatives. A dividend has been announced of the ancient Bank of St. Charles. The public are mach surprised to perceive the great quantity of money in circulation in Spain, within a short period. It la reported in the Salons, that the King of Nan= has some political commission, relative to Don Munn.— O'Donan.r., Captain.Oeneral of Castilla accompanied with several Oaken, was stopped by a banditti, and were held on the ground an hour, and stripped of every thing.

We have received, by extraordinary conveyance, the following, from Vienna, of the 14th of December;—" The Funds are 'tin getting up. particularly the Loans of Rothschild : Five per Cents foe the end of December, 103; Bank Shares, 1,248; Rothschild's Loan, Five pet Cent. 1751; for 1820, at Four and a Half. 1331." The bone of contention during the whole of the morning in the price of Consols between the Bulls and Bears was 95 foe the . Ac count, alternately buyers and sellers. The Commhsionen pur chased Three and a Half at par, .8107,000 Reduced at 94. Up to the present time we have no political information of con sequence. In the Foreign Market, a good deal has been done in Brasil and Portuguese Stocks, which have improved ; in other Foreign Seco. rides but little doing. The private letters by the Lisbon mail communicate some information which, if not exaggerated, must be looked upon as extremely important, as shelving that Don Miguel is placed in a most precarious situation from the exhausted state of his Treasury ; and that his Throne is actually endangered by the arrears due to the troops, who are beginning to evince a mutinous disposi tion. The rise of one per cent. in Portuguese Stock, which occurred in the Foreign Market to-day; is to be traced to the contents of these Imitate • annmunications i Mal the hoims indulged that son* 'change is at hand; for any change, the speculators in these Securities ima gine, would improve the prospect as to the payment of th e dividends.

St a,—As the increasing number of those unfortunate daughters of reproach who nightly infest the public streets has at length happily engaged a considerable Aar., of public attention, to obtain some remedy m ore e ffi cient and practicable than the Institutions established for their reception and reformation, allow me, for the purpose of (*inhering so desirable an object, to suggest some lin =prelani enquiries. From the Report s o f the Female Penitentiary, the Magdalen, and the Guardian, it would be inferred that nothing more was required, and that the Institutions could not be conducted on more efficient principles ; but I to ask infor mation on the following points: —AriT d number of in mates is supported at each of the 'above Institutions, and at what annual expenditnis ? Is the number of voluntary applicants, who are refused admission , greater than those wh o are received ? Does the _practice prevail at all or any of the above Institutions of shutting the gates against the penitent applicant—without any examination into the merits of the case, or giving publicity to heart-rending distress unrelieved with this answer, " the house is full ?" What interval of time elapses between the promise of admission and the entrance into each Institution ? In this case, is any pecuniary re lief given, or is the pennyless penitent compelled to sub sist by the wages of prostitution up to the time of her entrance into the Institution ? What number of brothels have been suppressed by each Institution through the existing laws t That I may not at once occupy too much of your valu able paper, I will defer my observations on an efficient remedy for this increasing evil and national disgrace, till sufficient information be obtained from the above enquiries.
