There is also another circumstance which clearly proves the successes of the brave and rietiiotie MINA; it is that Pari Passa honours Matra again with an epithet indicative of respect mixed with unfeigned awe, and esides, extends the important epithet to another hero, whom the fiction-writers killed long ago. Peri Passu mentions "the furious proclamations df TORRIJOS and MINA, written in blood." ."We shall soon hear of decisive success crowning the valour of the con stitutional army. Eaortts and the Regency hold high eonfereaces in Toulouse, and their friends zea lously:Conjecture that Toulouse is only a stage in their moral to Navarre., While the ferocious MINA excites universal detestation, " Baron EKOLLES is the ob ject of universal interest." How perverse is that fate which suffers the former to besiege Seo, and obliges the Latter to seek refuge to Toulouse! After having written the above remarks we received Bayonne Papers up to the 20th. They represent the fugitives of the Faith as being utterly forlorn and psopeless, while the constitutional cause is every Where triumphant. The effect produced by the usur p!), of peace is vividly stated, but by no means ia l ore vividly than might have been expected. It pears that the belief of a commercial treaty between' Spain and this country is generally credited. Me nnio, according to these papers, is the true fero cious : wealth and a facility of plunder seem to direct his executions. [From the ANCONA, DISCUSSER 12. A vassal, just arrived from the Archipelago, bsiap us intelligence most favourable to the cause of the ,Greeks: the Captain entered the harbour of Hydra on the 19th of November amid the report of salvos of artillery and the bells of the churches. The Greeks were then celebrating a Dox Ology (Te Demon) for their victories by land and sea ; the first was obtained at Sainte Triade, before Anstolicon, and at Vrachere, against four Pachas, who commanded the combined army of the Turkish and Albanian forces. As to the naval victory, it is much more important than was at first announced. The last report which' the Admiralty of Hydra had received on the 24th NOvaittfir, states the number of vessels lost by the Tuiis at one-and-twenty, of which seven are of the first rank. The Admiral's vessel and two frigates be- E:feme a prey to the flames. Two other frigates and thirteen corvettes, brigs, and golettes ran aground or here flung on the cost of Asia, between Cape Phonies land the harbour of Pacha Limace. Two other frigates disrnasted were abandoned to the fury of the winds. The Greek soldiers were employed in rescuing the bodies. While the Grand Turkish fleet, after its momentous losses. returned, for the purpose of wintering at Con ineetisople, the Greeks, fired by their boldness and their indefatigable ardour for liberty, abandoned every idea of repose, and spread themselves over the entire Levant, covering every port with their vessels. The psariyates have appointed their cruise before the Dar danelles; the Hydriotes watch the sea around the lyolases; the Cassiotes cruise round the Sprorades Isles and Candia ; they push their approaches even to the shores of Cyprus ; one division is stationed in the Argolic Gulf, and there watches the blockade of Napoli de Romania. Another division hovers over the boasts of Epirus, for the purpose of holding the Alba nians in awe. A third, commanded by the able corn inender, Lazaros, has arrived in the Gulf of Patras. This last is employed to transport near hlissolonghi 3,000 Peloponnesiaas, commanded by the younger Nicetas, who is to reinforce the Etokans. After this expedition ilatitee'k Admiral has determined to force the paisage of the Lesser Dardanelles, and enter into the Gulf of Lepanto, for the purpose of driving off the Austrian cruisers, who have occupied this Gulf for the last in:months, to the benefit of the Turks in provisioning Cetinth and Lepanto, and supporting in every way'tiiiir s itarnke operations. The Greeks cora -1 Wain bitterly ot•the conduct of the Austrians, whom Ehey call Anti-Christian.

[From the Cmutitiiiimmel of December 54.] Itzreect. FROM OUR PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. PERPIGNAN, DECEMBER 16. Of four inhabitants who were taken away by a band of the factious almost under the potion of Figueras, one, M. Aloy, an eminent merchant, is dead from ter ror; and the three others have been redeemed at the cost of five thousand six hundred francs. We thus see that the heroes of the Faith make war like bandits. A traveller had been stopped two days since on the road from Perpignan to Narbonne, at one hour's Journey from that town, by three men, habited as soldiers of the Faith. They were armed with knives, and demanded his purse or his life. He compromised with them for sI pieces of twenty francs each, and was released. Complaint has been made to the Procureur de Rai. The traveller let out at eight o'clock in the morning from Perpignan. The numbei kribels against the Government of the Constitutional Xing of Spain seeking refuge in that department exceeds five thousand ; they only receive a ration of bread each day, which is insuf ficient fbr their subsistence. It is expected that as soon as the Gcsierument shall be informed of their situation they will send the necessary funds for the support of these unfortunates ; but until then there is nothing whatever certain, which throws the inhabi tants of this department into a deplorable situation ; either they must contribute to their support or subject themselves to be stopped on the high read, where the refugees throng to demand alms. There has been nothing more put at the disposal of the Commission of Aid, than the total of two ordinances of ten thousand francs each. The Com mission assembled to-day under the presidency of the Prefect. We are not informed whether measures were taken to supply the pressing wants of these un fortunates ; if it has been decided that they shall enjoy the benefit of an amnesty, they will be all at their hearths, because they wit be directed to the Alcade of Janquere, who has orders to receive and restore them to their families ; but if they per sist in the wish of figuring as enemies of the Constitutional Government, and of entering Spain for the purpose of joining the rebels, they will be annihilated by the constitutional troops, or again rammed against our country, which must suffer by their presence.

D•11/41113, DECUMIL 19. . 1 Within forty-eight hours. oirfas eon tiers have pilidiOd through this city to and Mint 'Madrid. The newt from the frontiers, referring to the courier sent by the Spanish Ambassador at Paris, state positively that peace between France sad Spain will not be inter rupted. This is confirmed by the accounts from Paris. The effects of this news is already felt here, and the vessels are fitting out with all possible ex pedition for the cod fishery, the equipment of which had been suspended. The reportsjof peace, which become daily more posi tive, form a singular contrast with the recent arrival of a dozen vessels laden with military stores which have just been landed Our fanatics—for the number is consi derable, and the innumerable emigrants of the party of the Faith who placed their hopes on the entrance of a foreign army into Spain—are quite disappointed, and disapprove of the pacific intentions of the beneficent government of the King. It may be imagined what effect this news has on the soldiers of O'Donnel, who have taken patience hitherto in hopes of being supported by the Holy Alliance, for these promises are held out by the agents of this expiring faction in all their proclamations, bulletins, &c. In consequence of the dispersion of the bands in the three provinces, parties of fugitives of 15, 20, or 30 men arrive daily, who go to Irati to resume offensive ope rations. But how great is their surprise at meeting with their brethren in arms, 'Who fly into France on this side, and abandon the banners of their General in Chief, who for these two months past has not ventured to quit the Ron cal, and who sees his cause ruined by the news of peace, by the exasperation of the people of Navarre, who have applied to Torrijos for arms, and by the favourable result expected from the operations of the latter after the 21st, when the amnesty expires? The report that has been spread of the arrival of the Junta of Urgel at Bayonne, has produced a had effect. The fact is, that nobody has arrived but General Laguna and some other agents, who nad gone to seik their fortunes at Urgel, and who have propagated the news of the installation of the Junta in this country, which is not much credited. Since an English courier has passed through here on his way from London to Madrid, a report has been spread that a treaty of commerce between England and Spain has been concluded, and that England will afford the assistance that Spain requires to clear the north-east provinces from the bands that infest them, to re-establish the customs and prohibitory system on the frontiers of France, and establish tran• quality, notwithstanding the protection which the De fenders of the Faith may 6nd in France. English manufactures will be received into Spain on paymgal of a duty of 15 per cent.

He silt three or four of the richest in habitants of the town, well knovin for their attachment I to the Constitution ; he also disarmed the national 'guard, ill-treated several persons, and raised a heavy contribution. Two Constitutional columns are in pursuit of this robber, who will probably end his ca reer like Zaldivar. News from Madrid of the 11th positively affirm that a commercial treaty is con cluded between England and Spain. The first definite legal step has been take) for the punishment of the Orange ruffians who directed mis siles against the person of the LORD LIEUTENANT in the Dublin theatre, on Saturday week, December 14. On Monday last Henry Handwich, George GraAsm, and James Forbes, were fully committed by Coun sellor GABBETT, " for having with divers other per sons feloniously conspired, confederated, and agreed to kill and murder his Excellency RICIIARD Marquis Wellesley, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland." Other three men are committed for trial. Addresses are pouring in from all parts of Ireland. His Excellency appears to act in the vary delicate situation in which he is placed with equal spirit and dignity. The decided tendency of the outrage di rected against him, is to bring the Orange faction into utter disgrace, and to raise a strong feeling in favour of equalizing the civil rights of Catholics and Protestants. It stay be recollected that the act of a miscreant wbo threw a stone at the royal coach in 1817, was signally successful in bringing even all Reformers into reproach, and strengthening the Tory Ministers with arbitrary powers of the worst character and example. The case differed from the present toto ccelo, and we mention it only to illustrate the principle to which we adverted as to the tendency of such acts. No man will impute the Orange outrage to spies or hired agents of the Government. It is the genuine offspring of a domineering, intolerant, and defeated faction. It Is an auspicious moment for gaining a triumph, at once splendid and permanent, over the ignoble and dastardly crew who so long and so fatally abused the favour of the Goveinment. We believe no man could more skilfully iiistlittealously avail himself of the ad vantages of the crisis than the illustrious Statesman who now holds vice-regal authority in Ireland. We took occasion some days ago to express our satisfaction that twelve were not expelled from the East India College near Hertford. It is true that seven are in effect expelled ; but, though we think the number much greater than the particular offences or the necessity of a severe example required, we cannot agree with many of our contemporaries, that the punishment is too severe, or that its necessity is any proof of the incompetency of the institution for its anginal object. If no notice had been taken of the oobject at all by the newspapers, we should have 4tought it both right on principle and beneficial to the establishment. But to go beyond the bare an• nunciation of facts, and to publish from day to day discussions on the venial nature of the offence, the inadequate attention of the professors, or the cruel severity of the punishment, appears to us, to say the least of it, very indiscreet conduct. Dr. JOlni sew says of a celebrated poem--" Poetry has seldom been worse employed thin in dignifying the amorous fury of a raving girl." W`e would say, in like man ner, that the columns of a certain widely circulated and most respectable Journal have seldom been worse employed than in palliating the animal intemperance of young men, and diminishing the authority by ques tioning the justice of their punishment. But the sub ject has been freely discussed, and we are therefore fully entitled to enter into an examination of all the merits of the question. It has been represented that the professors ought to be plain schoolmasters, because the students are mere children. But it has also been stated that the severity of the punishment is unexampled, because the habits and views of the young men are unalterably formed. Now, both these representations cannot be correct, for either the students are too old for the mere disci pline of a school, or their destination in life may, without much difficulty, be changed. The fact is that they are young men, whose minds and tempers are so far matured as to render them fit subjects for the highest tuition, in its most dignified form, and to make it quite impossible to govern them by means of corporal chastisement, confinement, or scholastic hard labour. For such young men we can conceive no possible punishment but expulsion, when they obsti nately, perversely, and repeatedly resort to what may be called wanton and abstract acts of riot and violence. if the offense were only a deficiency of respect in manners towards proltssors or superior fellow students, or a singularity of opinion in matters of be lief or of civil government, we should admit the in justice and even cruelty of inflicting expulsion; but when young men of 18 or 19 become active leaders of their youthful associates, in offering personal vio lence to a professor, or in contriving midnight ex plosions of gunpowder, we see no alternative but expulsion. This is severe, but not unjust. Rustication may reform the misled, but cannot change the misleader so far as to make him again an innocent associate in the same institution. If great expence has been bestowed upon his education, and if his acquirements are peculiarly adapted for eastern occupations, the motives for good conduct, which he resisted, were great and peculiar, and consequently his disposition must be extremely perverse and nntractable. At any rate the consequences of his expulsive ought to attach odium exclusively to his conduct antrOot to his punishment.
