The increase of Monks and inn•, Otis all the superstitions and mischiefs which follow in their train, are among the blessed effects of that restoration in which the Ultras are rejoicing. To justify their arts in the case before us, they are led to say " that the right of choos ing and acknowledging God is imprescriptible." We re glad to bear the tight of free enquiry any how eknawledged, but we rejoice with trembling when we ear it from a Jesuit. When it is the fashion for the 'liras to affect the style of the Liberals, we are sure hat deception is in view. ....—........--_ Livearoot., JAN. 23.—The Havanna packet, which mixed at this port on Thursday last, has brought Situ* from Havanna to the 13th December, and from Pert Cruz to the 17th November r by these letters we lama that the Imperial Army of Mexico, which bad ,se ken possession of Vera Crete is the month of Sept. ad suffered so mach from the yellow fever, and by rtioa canoed by the dread of the fever, that only 00 invalids were left in the tows. le consequence f this, Governor Davilla, who bad retired to the Castle Si.

The Chambers of tee did not meet on Mosby, but on Tuesday the tusion was to be resumed on the projet respecting repression of the offences of the Press. A Flanders arrived last night with Brussels papers, which tale intelligence from Ceustaatinopk to the 19th of a very warlike complexion. These accounts ag similar to what we had formerly received, it tecessary to detail, especially u &deices are said to re arrived from that capital of a more recent date, very &Serest character. These deices, which iced yesterday atteenoen. it Is stated, are dated he 25th of December, and announce that on that the ultimata* of Russia was acceded to by the a, and immediately despatched to St. Petersburg atification. This, after all, may be no more than her version of the accounts which came by the of Hamburg, and are dated a fortnight before.— , accounts state that the Porte had delivered to ritish and Austrian Ambassadors a Note respect the Russian ultimatum, which was of a very pa nature. The Porte desisted from its demand of immediate delivering up of the Oreek fugitives, declared its readiness to evacuate Moldavia and lachia, bet Dot till after the expiration of a certain , in order, meanwhile, to pat down the insurrection e Greeks. This was all the Ambassadors could in. The Note ended with a wish that the Chris- Monarchs might preserve peace, and take care Russia did nut listen to the Greek Chiefs. "It t known," say the letters, " what impression this may make en the Russia, Cabinet, but it is cer that if Russia declares war, the Oovernment is weak to binder the people from committing es s at width humanity shudders." Spanish mail adds little to the account we yes . . gave of the resignation of the Spanish Minis. - oivimnle , " tees. The eompliments the Kieg bestows up.n them on his relactaat parting iftli them, will have little tendency to recommend them to the •favour of the people. An Inquiry into their eandoet will probably ' be one of the first objects to Which the attention of the next Cortes will be directed. One of the Madrid journals. alluding to this subject, observes—" The Ministers are only suspended from their functions un til the approaching meeting of the Ordinary Coney, which is the period at which they must render an ac count or their transactions. In fact, a total discharge might bare relieved them from their responsibility. to which they will be mere closely held by a mere sus passion. The next Cortes will net be disposed to spare them ; and we ire fond to believe that Minis terial responsibility will nut be found altogether ilk gory in Spain." The Cortes is proceeding in the enactment of a pe ed cede. Oa* article subjects to a fine of from 15 to 130 dollars, and from three months' to one year's im prisonment, any person, convicted of libel on the Con• • whetheaby invective or satire; but it is ad ded, "If this offence should be committed by a public reactionary, or by an ecclesiastic, regular or secular, exercising his minietry, the fine should be doubled, with an imprisonment of from eight months to three years."—The Territorial Audiencia of New Castile has sentenced John Anderson. a native of Dublin, to one year's imprisonment and expulsion from Spain. for be ing engaged lea conspiracy against the constitutional system of government. A report was recently circulated that G 1 Riego had been poisoned. but a letter frau Barceloss, dated Jen- 12, proves the story to be entirely groundless.
