The Season will commence by the Engagement of Monsieur Lafont (of the Theatre des Varietes!, his First Appearance at this Theatre, for whose performance the popular Plays of " Le Che valier de Saint Georges," " Le Chevalier du Guet," " Pierre le Rouge," " Requefinette," " Pere et Fils, &c , &c., &c., will be produced. Mademoiselle Nathalie (of the Theatre du Gymnase) will also appear conjointly with Monsieur Lafont. After whom, the eminent Actor, Monsieur Frederick Lemaitre (who has accepted an engagement for a limited number of Nights only), and Mademoiselle Clarisse, will appear, until the close of the Season at Easter. During the Engagement of Monsieur Frede. rick Lemaltre, the popular Plays of " Don Caesar de Bazan," and "Ruy Bias." by Victor Hugo, as originally performed by him with a much success, will be produced; as well as the last New Piece ~f the Porte St. Martin, which now excites such extraordinary interest in Paris, and in which M. Frederick has performed for Ten consecutive Weeks, entitled " La Dame de Saint Tropez." After Easter, the eminent Actress, Madame Albert (engaged for a few nights only), will appear in the Two New Comedies of the Theatre Francais, " Une Femme a Quarante Ans,'' and " Le Mari ala Campagne," in addition to " Mathilde, ou la Jalouise ;" and Marie, ou lee Trois Epochs ;" with other favourite Pieces of her repertoire; and will be succeeded by the popular Comic Actor, Monsieur Ravel (of the Theatre du Palais Royale), who will make bis First Appearance in this Country. The Engagement of Monsieur Ravel will be followed by those of Mademoiselle Plessy, and Monsieur Regnier (of the Theatre Francais, hls First Appearance in this Country). It is intended, at that period of the Season, to produce, under the superintendence of Monsieur Cartigny, some of the finest Comedies of the French Stage. In addition to which, Mr. Mitchell has the honour to announce, that an entirely New Comedy will be produced, written expressly for the Company by the eminent French Author, Mon sieur Alexandre Dumas, who will be present in London to direct the mite en scene of his New Composition. The Favourite Actor, Monsieur Achard, is also engaged for a kw Nights, and will appear in the last New Vaudeville of Le Gyranase. entitled " B.ibiole et Joblot," by Scribe, " Ywan le Monjick," and other New Pieces, with the occasional Representa tion of some of the most popular Plays of that admired Actor's repertoire. The Season will terminate by the Engagement of Monsieur Ansel (of the Theatre du Vaudeville), who will have the honour of making his First Appearance at this Theatre, and during whose Engagement the following Popular Plays, as originally performed by Monsieur Arnal, will be produced :—" L'Homme Blase," " L'Huraoriste," " Les Gants J .une," " Passe Minuit," " Les Cabinets Particulaire," " Renaudin de Caen," " Le Poltron," " La Mansarde du Crime," " Le Bal du Grande Monde," &c., &c. The Company for the Season will be carefully selected from the Theatres of Paris, including M. Cartigny, M. Oudinot, M. De ahampes (of the Gymnase), 3f. 3fasquilller (of the Porte St. Madill), M.

The new sect which has sprung up in the Church, like all new sects, proclaims that it alone maintains -the true faith, and that the religion of PUsEY, 11 7 1 1 1 //MAN, and their followers, is sanctioned by Divine TAE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY- MORNING, JANUARY 27 1845. as well as human authority. The sceptical public — for in these days a clergyman's word is not gospel— naturally require proofs of these claims; they judge of the tree by its fruit, and of the faith which a man professes by his works. This test, fortunately, was applied by the Protestants of Exeter, last week, to their bishop, and the unfortunate young man COURTENAY, and such results, on any similar occasion, p'rhaps never were brought to light. Straightforward conduct, honesty of purpose, charity which doth not behave itself unseemly, strict adherence to truth, and fearlessness in a good cause, were expected of these holy men, but woful was the failure. It would be difficult to find, among the lowest of the human race, among the miserable, ignorant, and profligate, that appear before our police-courts, such instances of mean deception, contemptible shuffling, and vain attempts to conceal the truth, as were manifested at a meeting of the inhabitants of Exeter on Thursday. The Rev. F. COURTENAT, it appears, was allowed to appear, in order, as was understood, to make a state ment which would carry into effect the object of the requisitionists, and settle the differences between him and his flock. The important disclosure amounted to this—" You have met," said he, " to take into con sideration what steps shall be taken to put an end to the disturbances to which our parish has been sub jected for the last two Sundays. These disturbances have resulted from a continued use of the surplice in preaching. I am in a position to tell you that I have authority to discontinue the use of the surplice." This announcement was not received very graciously. Loud cries of" Oh !" and " Too late," resounded through the assembly, and the speaker, evidently ashamed of his conduct, and afraid, perhaps, of some unwelcome interrogatories, was anxious to retire, " for," said he, " I think that there can be no reason why I should stay among you longer." The Protestants assem bled, however, thought otherwise, for the use or disuse of the surplice was only a very secondary object of the meeting. The main point was the cha racter—and, consequently, the usefulness or the worthlessness of their pastor; and Mr. COURTENAT was, therefore, requested to wait, in justice to him self, that he might explain or deny certain reports prevalent in the parish. The following are the reports, as set forth by one of the speakers with great mode ration and good feeling. First, Mr. COURTENAY was reported to have stated, in reference to a requisition, signed by many respectable parishioners, that "there was only one name he regretted to see there; for the rest he did not care the snap of his finger." Secondly, he was reported to have said that " he would sooner suffer his right arm to be cut off than surrender the course he had pursued." Thirdly, the Rev. Gentleman, on seeing a notice posted at the church gates, calling one of their meetings, " had torn it down in a petulant way, and stamped it under his feet." And, lastly, he had said of those who had taken part at these meetings, that " they were only rifraff, and the sooner the Church was rid of them the better." These are serious charges against a minister of peace, but the manner in which they were met only added to the original offences, and convinced the parishioners, as shown by one of their resolutions, that " he ought to withdraw himself from a ministry which he could no longer usefully or pro fitably fulfil." We give the answers in his own words, with the winding up of this disgraceful seek their destruction. But what must his own party think of a leader who can thus blab out such mo mentous truths—truths that mark them as dangerous neighbours, deceitful friends, and determined enemies? England, too, knows what M. Tniaas means by alliance. He would hold with her so long as it suited his purpose. He would not risk the loss of Algeria, or the destruction of every French ship in the Mediterranean by madly going to war single-handed, but wait for "different combina tions," and then make the attack. Should M. Tmuus, therefore, ever be again placed at the head of affairs, he must be watched like a tiger. The great Powers will be forced to maintain, what is worse than open war, an armed peace, and spend vast revenues in compelling France to observe treaties to which she is solemnly engaged. But, fortunately, M. TRIERS' ability and prudence are not equal to his malignity. The remarkable correspondence between the Earl of ABERDEEN and the Lord RANELAGII, which the latter has just published under the title of " Legal Order and Constitutional Rights, as defined by the Earl of ABERDEEN," has scarcely received from our Contemporaries that degree of candid consideration which they are usually by no means backward in awarding to the merits, such as they may be, of con temporary polemics. Lord RANELAGII, it will be remembered, some few years ago thought proper to throw himself, with a degree of unquestionable en thusiasm, into the struggle for the succession to the Spanish Monarchy, that was sustained with so much sanguinary perseverance between the Carlists and the Christinos. His Lordship served under the banner of Absolutism against that of Constitutional Liberty. By these designations, at any rate, the two parties in the civil war which then raged in Spain reciprocally distinguished one another. We have always denounced the disastrous ambition of Don CARLOS, and canr.ot affect, therefore, any sympathy with the choice of a young English nobleman who had it in his power to draw his sword, for the other party, or the cause of what professed to be free in stitutions, and were largely modelled on those of his native country. We find it difficult to imagine how 1 a free and enterprising spirit, such as Lord RARE.. LAGII seems to be animated by, can voluntarily have attached himself to the desperate fortunes of an un popular pretender to an European Crown, and a gloomy, bigoted vassal to a superstitious Church. We should have presumed that all the chivalry of an Englishman's prepossessions would have attached him to the cause of two Queens, contending for a mo narchy bequeathed to the younger, by the solemnly declared will and renewed act of her dying father, together with the guardianship of her person to the elder, the wife, the widow, and the mother of a Sovereign. But we are far from impeaching the motives, or doubting the sincerity, of Lord RARE.. LAGR'S partisanship. It is lamentable, in our view of the matter, that he should have sided with, and fought for, the friend and patron of the execrable CABRERA ; but had he given his services to the other side, we must confess with horror, that he would have been leagued with that bloodstained monster, MINA, or, haply, serving now with the contemptible and unprincipled NAEVAEZ. The mistake into which Lord RANELAGII was betrayed, in the first instance, seems to have been that which was common to so many other of our countrymen at the same time— namely, to believe that it could be worth while to fight at all, and under any circumstances, for a country and a people, and institutions social and political, so utterly debased, disorganised, and worth less, as those of Spain. With regard to the " Correspondence" we advert to, it arises mainly out of the circumstance of Lord RANELAGII having been charged by Don CARLOS to place in the hands of the Earl of ABERDEEN a certain letter, authorising Lord RANELAGII "to make certain propositions to her MAJESTY'S Government, on the part of his Royal High ness, having for their object the marriage of the Prince, his son, with the Queen of SPAIN." The nature of this communication will be readily collected in the extracts from the pamphlet that we publish in another part of our paper. We are bound, at the outset, to declare that we never rose from the perusal of any letters ;vith more unmingled satisfac tion at the dignified as well as discreet tone—the candid as well as collected character of the statements made in them—than we have experienced from the letters of Lora ABERDEEN. It was certainly in bad taste on the part of Lord RANELAGH to identify the source of the injurious treatment he remonstrated against with his own adherence to, and Lord ABER DEEN'S defection from, political " principles so long and so' ably maintained by the latter nobleman and his colleagues in her MAJESTY'S Government ;" for this gratuitous assumption only brought down, in return, Lord ABERDEEN'S announcement, that, on the records of the Foreign-office, instructions had been found which Lord PALMERSTON, whilst holding the Foreign seals, had deemed it his duty to issue to our Ministers abroad, prohihiting them from present ing Lord RANELAGH at the Courts to which they were accredited, on account of Lord RANELAGR'S having actually, after joining the army " of Don CARLOS, taken part in operations, in the course of which the Carlists were engaged with a portion of the British co-operating force in the neighbourhood of Bilboa." Lord RANELAGR'S solemn disclaimer of the fact, admitted by the recal of these " instructions," as stated, in the fairest and most honourable manner, in Lord ABERDEEN'S dispatch to him of the 19th ultimo, does not cure Lord RANELAGH'S ungra cious mistake of attributing their origin to the wrong cause, and of assuming that cause to be— the personal abandonment of former political prin ciples by Lord ABERDEEN. But surely it was in still worse taste for Lord RANELAGII, in his letter of the 7th, in reply to Lord ABERDEEN'S dispatch of the 4th, to instruct the Foreign Minister as to what he ought to have done, or what his predecessor, Lord PALMERSTON, " might have pleaded for what he did do, and to taunt the Noble Earl with bringing humiliating reproach" upon " those who have the misfortune to trust in him or to be associated with his Lordship in office." Lord RANELAGII may plead ex treme irritation to account for the caprice of reading a didactic lesson to the Noble Secretary, and even for reflections se unmeasured and unqualified on that functionary's official conduct ; but we doubt whether even to himself such a plea will excuse an error of judgment that appears to have elicited from Lord ABERDEEN only this cold, but courteous and signi ficant notice : " Your Lordship will excuse me if I abstain from en- tering into any consideration of other portions of your letter, personal to myself and relative to my oticial duty. I think that these may safely and properly be left unnoticed." Still there are many passages in Lord RANELAon's pamphlet that strike us as evidencing abundant good sense. 'They prove how much easier it is for men mixed up with the concerns of public life to express forcibly sound opinions upon paper, than to control and regulate their own conduct in respect to those concerns. He thus alludes, in his introductory re marks to the present state of Spain : '• No man, who loves his country, or his species, can contemplate without anxiety and alarm, the present state of Spain. There we see not the successive rise and fall of opposite parties in the State, but a monstrous union of anarchy and despotism, which, under all changes of administration, pursues one constant and fearful triumph over every form of public order and private right. The people—once temperate, industrious, brave, and loyal,— are familiarised with butchery and instructed in crime by the examples of their governors and the abundant elements of natural and moral wealth are crushed and eradicated, by a system which, if permitted to continue, cannot fail to communicate its frightful contagion to other States. This is an evil immediately suffered by Spain ; but it is a danger from which no kingdom in Europe is safe. The cause, therefore, involved, is not that of any faction, but of general peace, and of human' civilizAtien." We must also emphatically concur with Lord RANzLson in reprobating such terms—in respect of the present hideous disorganisation that rules supreme . in Spain—as Lord ABERDEEN has applied to it : "In proportion as what Lord Aberdeen calls the cause of constitutional liberty' has advanced, the secu rity of life and property has diminished ; and amidst that tranquillity of which he boasts, not only is anarchy and strife everywhere prevalent, but hundreds are from year to year put to the most horrible death, without even the form of a trial." There is as much of reason as of smartness in a similar allusion : " The Noble Foreign Secretary considers legal order and constitutional right' to be synonymous with the present state of Spain : what he may think would exem plify a condition of anarchy and rebellion' it is diffi cult to imagine." Lord RANELAGH will pardon us for saying that the following passage involves a mere quibble : " It is necessary to bear in mind that the quesiion really at issue in the salajoined correspondence is not the law of Spanish succession, but the re-establishment of Spanish peace. The rights discussed are not those, re spectively, of Don Carlos and Isabel, but of Spain—with out referk•nce to party, and of humanity—without regard to political opinion." The simple fact is that the very propositions of Don CARLOS impeached the existing law of Spanish suc cession. They contemplated nothing less. They would have been to the last degree " vague," as Lord ABERDEEN calls them, and irrelevant to fact, if they meant anything else. But we must here take leave of the subject, once more referring the reader to our abridged abstract of the correspondence. The division in the French Chamber of Deputies on Thursday afternoon has destroyed the little in terest excited by the discussion on the Address. Mem bers themselves were evidently tired with the tedious repetitions about Morocco and Otaheite, and were glad to come to the main point and decide the fate of the Ministry. M. DUPIN, who appears to have been in one of his most crotchetty fits, probably hastened the result, and increased the majority for M. GUIZOT. He had been disappointed of the Presidency of the Chamber ; the Ministry could not trust him, they pre ferred a man of less ability, but a man of correct habits, moderate in his politics, and consistent in his purposes, and for this Deem could not forgive them, or admit that any one act of their policy was good. He bitterly attacked them, therefore, for their con duct in every point under discussion. The Morocco war, the Otaheite affair, and the Right of Search. On the last, he was actually rabid, and would not hear of a mixed Commission. He would cut the knot at once, and without England's consent abrogate the treaties of 1831 and 1833. This sally may have alarmed men anxious for the honour of their country and the peace of the world, and added a few numbers to the majority. But this injudicious statesman did not confine himself to politics, he could not avoid being personal, and to excite laughter on the Left against M. GUIZOT brought forward again the story of the journey to Ghent. M. GUIZOT may therefore con sider himself lucky in enjoying the full enmity of M. DUPIN, for the friendship of such a man is more injurious than his enmity. The Journal des Debas draws a correct character of the man, and rejoices that, in opposition to its recommendation, he was the rejected candidate for the President's Chair. " Without the speech of M. Duets," says that paper, "we should not have much to say. But M. Duets did speak, and this made a remarkable event in the sitting. Let us be permitted to express our great surprise. We did, perhaps, expect some of those raps and sallies which he is accustomed to be stow with an almost equal hand upon both the Mi nistry and the Opposition, but did not look fur a speech of so much bitterness and violence, for such a torrent of acrimonious personalities as may perhaps excite applause from the Left, but which must be re pugnant to every noble mind, to every man of sound judgment and talent. True it is, then, that we de ceived ourselves when, a month ago, we proposed M. DUPIN for the Presidency of the Chamber ! His candidateship was not, as we might have had good reasons for believing, a neutral candidateship! If M. Duets had been chosen, the darts he has now thrown from the tribune might have been thrown from the chair of the President ! For there can be no doubt that his acrimony has not been created suddenly by this , check ! He thought a month ago as he thinks now, that the treaty of Morocco has sullied our diplomacy, and that the hands which signed it are dishonoured ! He knew a month ago that by Article 4 France freely engaged that AHD-EL•KADER, if he ever fell into our hands, should be treated with moderation—a clause which, according to M. Duns, is an eternally dis• graceful blot in our glory. A month ago M. DUPIN, whether President or not, would have left his chair or his bench to mount the tribune, and denounce to the anger of the country the PRITCHARD indemnity. In a word, the opposition of M. Doris blazed out yester day, but it has long been smouldering in his heart. This cannot be an incidental opposition—it is an op position of rancour. And yet we have recommended M. Doris for the Presidency. We were wrong, our loyalty compels us to acknowledge it. The Opposi tion knew better than we did what it was about. An other time we shall be more considerate. Beyond all doubt, M. DUPIN has a right to blame that which he thinks blameable ; it is a right which the Hon. De puty has exercised very frequently, and upon all parties. We shall not pretend to dispute his right or restrain his independence. We merely say that a man is of the Opposition when he endeavours to overthrow the Ministry, and that it is perfectly puerile for him to give out that he is a Member of the majority at the very time when he is endeavouring, by detaching himself from it, to dissolve it. M. DUPIN is at bottom a Conservative ; we know this full well, because he has given striking proofs of it. We cannot doubt his wish for peace. He expressed this wish with energy four years ago, after the treaty of July and the events of 1840. We have a wonderful recollection of this. All this, however, does not prevent M Dens from becoming at this day the most decided the most active Oppositionist—and this is what we did not know, nor could expect. We add that, even with the Opposition, there is a measure to be observed ; but M. DUPIN carried away by his lively imagination and his wit, has gone beyond all measure. For him, M. DUPIN, to seek to revive the unworthy scene of last year against M. GUIZOT without the excuse of a moment, without any warranting circumstance, without any thing to provoke his rage ! M. DUPIN may believe us when we say that he will deeply repent his speech of yesterday. He has broken out of that neutrality in which he loved so much to keep himself, and into which he cannot re•enter very easily. With fine talents and a sarcastic humour, a man, no doubt, may succeed in making himself feared—he may become a dangerous adversary ; but he who spares no one must soon have all the world in league against him." fall the Opposition journals are loud in their praises of M. Doris, and expected that his speech had done wonders. The large majority, however, against him has by this time.convinced them of their error. There is no news of interest in the Paris papers. When the post left, the division in the Chamber was not known on the Bourse, but it could not fail to have a favourable effect. The Moniteur publishes two royal ordonnances respecting Algeria; one is for the regulation of the local and municipal budgets—the other declaring that the ports of Mostaganem, Arzew, Cherchel, Djemmaa-Ghazaouat, Dellys, Bugia, and Gigelly are to enjoy the same advantages and privileges a s those of Algiers, Mers-el-Kehir, Oran, Tenez, Philippeville, and Bona. The Globe repeats its assertion that Count DE MONTALIVET ,voted with the Ministry on the Address in the Chamber of Peers. About four years ago, says a letter from Con stantinople, of the 31st ult., a society was formed for the relief of distressed foreigners in Turkey, and placed under the direction of the French Ambassador. Some of the other foreign Ministers, however, having disapproved of this exclusive protection, the Society has been, with the consent of the British Ambas sador, placed under that of the corps diplomatique generally.

TREATY OF COMMERCE WITN BRAZIL.—By the Express packet, from Rio Janeiro, we are apprised of a Commission having been appointed to settle the treaty of commerce with this country. The names of the three gentlemen appointed are Senhor Paula Souza, a Senator; Senhor Maia, late Conservator Judge for the British Nation; and Senhor Ferreira Franqa, the Minister for Foreign Affairs at Rio. An officer had arrived at Rio, the bearer of the submis sion of the rebel chief in Rio Grande, who submitted after having been four times defeated by Baron Corxids. The Express has brought a large remit tance on account of the dividends. PROGRESS OF THE MEXICAN REVOLUTION. ONE DAY LATER FROM AMERICA. The Columbus, Captain Cole, arrived at Liverpool on Saturday. She brings only one day's later news. The revolution in Mexico was progressing. The New York Herald says : " The principal towns, and indeed all the country, have pronounced against Santa Anna, who, with a small force, has fled to Queretaro. The revolution passed off very quietly, no blood having been shed. The former revolutions being carried on by one party of military against another, resulted in much bloodshed—hut this movement coming from the people, as well as from the soldiers, mad,. it gene ral, and hence the little commotion of a disagreeable nature. Santa Anna had but little chance of over coming this movement, and it was a matter of con jecture whether he would attempt to escape or deliver himself up—he very probably will endeavour to gain over the opposite General, by bribery or similar means, but in this it is thought he will not succeed. In case that he is taken prisoner, the people will pro bably demand his execution, as they seem to think his liberty will be dangerous to the Republic. " The markets were in a very bad state, with very little hope of improvement. " The departments of Sonora, Sinalva, Jalisco, Za catecas, and Aquescalientes were in a state of revolu tion, and in the military possession of Gen. Paredes. " General Santa Anna (with Cort2zar), had mili tary possession of the departments of Queretaro and Guanajuato. " Canalizo, Santa Anna's President interim, and his ministers, were prisoners in Mexico. " There were at the Island of Sacriflcio the British frigate Spartan, just arrived from New Orleans; British frigate Inconstant, and two French brigs of war, but no Americans." _ _ The following letter from Vera Cruz appears in the New York Herald:— " VERA CRUZ, DEC. 9, 1844.—There is nothing talked of here but the revolution that is going for ward, and it seems to be the opinion of the best in formed persons that Santa Anna's time of destruction has arrived. At this moment he is, with his army of about six thousand men, at Queretaro, about sixty or eighty leagues from Mexico, where he went to meet the revolutionary general, Paredes, who, with a strong force, was watching Santa Anna's movements, and was ready at a moment to take advantage of the President's mistakes. Puebla, the capital of the State of that name, and a place celebrated for its manufac tures, with a population of about 15,000 or 20,000, had pronounced against Santa Anna, and it was daily expected that the city of Mexico would follow. Santa Anna having become annoyed at the interference of Congress, had put that body down, the news of which was proclaimed with great pomp and show in Vera Cruz. However, all this showing off was got up by the military, and it was very evident that the people did not participate in the glorious news.' " Mr. Cushing has been robbed of all his books and Chinese papers ; the robbers have taken advan tage of the unsettled state of the country, and have become insupportable. The people here think the United States will not go to war on account of Texas, as they say, by granting licenses to privateers, that the United States will lose more than she possibly can gain. " DEC. 11, 1844.—Since writing on the 9th, in which I described the rejoicings here on account of Santa Anna having put down the Congress, we have had a total change in the appearance of things. Only three days after the guns had been fired in honour of the above disgraceful proceedings, news arrived that Mexico, and nearly all the country, had pronounced against Santa Anna. This information was re ceived at Vera Cruz when a norther was blowing, consequently there was no communication with the castle of St. Juan d'Ulloa, and when the re joicings commenced for the downfal of the Great Chief,' which consisted of fireworks and in firing salutes from the forts, the castle understood this to be a further declaration in favour of Santa Anna, and they immediately proceeded to elect him ` Supreme Dictator;' but guess their astonishment when the storm cleared away, and they found the great man no longer existed in the minds of the good people of Vera Cruz. Well, what do you suppose they did ? Why, immediately after receiving the intelligence, they pronounced against the very man for whom but a day before they had voted the Dictatorship. Beautiful consistency, certainly. The feeling against Santa Anna is universal, and I think it would be difficult to find a person who would speak in favour of him. His portrait, which was once so much re spected, has been thrown from the balcony of the palace, and the mob tore it immediately into pieces. The individual who threw it exclaimed, at the same time, Here goes the son of a w— !' Even the famous leg, once belonging to Santa Anna, and which was buried in the city of Mexico with so much pomp, has again been restored to the at mosphere, and insulted in every way imaginable. His bust, which had a conspicuous place in the new and beautiful Theatre of Santa Anna (El Teatro de:Santa Anna), was broken into a thousand pieces. Another large statue of his, at Puebla, was demolished in rather a curious manner; first they hung him by the neck, then they cut off his head and afterwards spat in his face; and at last left poor Santa Anna in the hands of a charitable Mexican mob. I am very much surprised that this once great man should have attempted to put down the present feeling against him by the sword; but what shows his confidence in his fancied power, is in marching to Queretaro, leaving Mexico, Puebla Vera Cruz, and so many other towns in his rear ; this he must now regret, as they have all unani mously pronounced against him. What will be the end of this movement I cannot positively say, although I am inclined to believe that if he cannot bribe over some of the other generals and their soldiers, that he will endeavour to escape, and I think, in the event of his being taken prisoner, that he will most assuredly suffer death. The immense property that he has will certainly be confiscated, which, if he escapes, will not affect him :much, as he must have considerable funds in Europe. " The character of Santa Anna, both political and moral, is so black, that his present situation is lost to view when his crimes are considered. His friend, General Canalizo, late Vice-President, is now a pri soner in his own palace. Mr. Tuquenos, formerly Minister of Finance, still cannot leave the bounds of the city ; and when his trial comes on he undoubtedly will be severely punished, as he and his friends have plundered the people to a very great extent, and which plunder will have to be restored. All the acts of this person for some time past are to be inquired into, and suspect that many negotiations that he has had with some particular merchants will be declared null and void. The house of Mr. Tuquenos, just now alluded to, was pulled to the ground by the mob. " The late Minister of War has been sentenced to some fifteen years' imprisonment for his partiality to Santa Anna, particularly for creating him ` Com mander-in-chief of the Forces.'" The New York Morning Express contains the following extract from a letter of a highly respect able gentleman in the city of Mexico, to a merchant in this city, under date of the 4th of December, 1844 We are in the midst of a revolution, the result of which no one can foretell, because both parties are very powerful. The departments of Jalisco, Aguas calientes, and Zacatecas, have pronounced against Santa Anna with General Paredes as their leader, who, by the bye, is a brave man and pretty good general, but not gifted with so much talent and shrewdness as General Santa Anna. It is believed generally here that other depart ments will follow the example of those already re volted, and in such a case it is difficult to tell where it may end. In the meanwhile General Santa Anna is advancing from Queretaro to meet General Pa redes, who, at the last accounts, was at Lagos. The former has under his command from 12,000 to 15,000 of the best troops in the Republic, and 25* pieces of cannon, all veterans and well disciplined ; and the latter can dispose of all the resources of the Custom-houses of Jalisco, San Blas, Mazatlan, and the rich mining department of Zacatecas—but the military force is less numerous and less effective ft is true, if we believe what we hear in general, that public opinion is rather against Santa Anna, but these people do not know what they wish, because it appears that all parties resent the treatment they have received from the Government of the United States, and all to a man talk of waging war against Texas and vgainst the United State, if the annexation takes place, but Ido not know who will be the man capable of carry ing on such an enterprise, if by any chance Santa Antra should be deprived of his authority. However, we must not deceive ourselves. If this revolution is of long duration, the United States may do in the meanwhile what they please, but I have no doubt that if matters come to a prompt settlement, whichever be the victorious party will send to Texas an army of 25,000 or 30,000 men, and war against the United States is certain, in case the annexation should be effected." scene : " With regard to the first question, I am Rot aware of haling said anything of the sort." (Non mi ricordo.) " With regard to the next question, I have repeatedly said, • I would rather cut off my arm than do what it was my duty not to do.' (This is no answer to the ques tion, which referred entirely to the use of the surplice.) "As to pulling down the notice, I constantly pull off notices from the church-gates. It was hanging in strips when I pulled it down." " A Parishioner—l saw it, and it was not in strips. " Mr. Courtenay—l don't say it was in strips ; but when I pulled it, it came in strips." The last question was not answered. A loud burst of groaning and yelling followed, in the midst of which Mr. COURTENAT retired. Now it is a sin gular fact that these answers and the statement about his authority for discontinuing the surplice are all characteristic of this new Jesuitical school. No direct reply is given ; there is nothing but evasion throughout, if we except his allusion to the authority of the bishop, which is something worse. The bishop gave him no authority for discontinuing the surplice. Ile 14-ft the affair to his own conscience, the pious prelate no doubt believing that his pupil was a man of his word, and would rather have hi 4 arm cut off than yield on the only point at issue. These are the bishop's " plain instructions," and they confirm the old proverb, "Like master, like man." " As Ido not fed myself competent to decide what course is fittest, I inclose this letter open to the mayor, who will either deliver it to you, or not, as he in his dis cretion shall deem proper. If you receive this letter, you will understand from it that I advise you to give way at the request of the civil authorities of Exeter, and not to persist in wearing the surplice in the pulpit, unless, conscientiously and on full inquiry, you have satisfied yourself that your engagements to the Church require you to wear the surplice when you preach. Ido not myself think that the matter is so free from doubt that you may not act on your bishop's advice as now given to you. Still Ido not pretend to any right to order you to wear the gown." So this is the new morality which these enemies of the Protestant faith are preparing for the Esta blished Church. Our readers can draw their own conclusions and contrast the truth, the candour, and the open, manly conduct of Protestants, with the reservations, falsehoods, and plots of a sect, that most Catholic churches have expelled from their community. The leader of the French Opposition is an aspiring politician, a smart orator, and probably a profound philosopher, but he is no statesman. Ile is carried away by a rage for talking, starts from one point to another with inconceivable rapidity, hurries on with a volubility which almost distances the most attentive hearer, and out of the fulness of his heart his mouth speaketh. Such old-fashioned statesmen as TALLEY.' RAND, and METTERNICH, and NESSELRODE would not have allowed M. THIERS to occupy the lowest office in their Cabinet, or see the title of a State paper, much less copy it, or even approach any public office where he had the slightest chance of obtaining political information, for the best reason in the world, because he is utterly destitute of a quality which is indispensable in a man trusted with secrets. The wonder now ceases that Lord PALMERSTON so clearly divined his course of politics when he happened to to be at the head of the French Cabinet, for if he lets out such important secrets from the tribune, as he did in the discussion on the Syrian expedition, and as he has now disclosed in his speech on the Address, what an ample insight into his foreign policy might be ob tained at his evening parties. By his own words was he condemned when he attempted to justify himself for siding with MEHEMET ALI against England, Austria, and Prussia. His object was to obtain ad ditional power for France in the East to compensate for his failure in the West. This he fully admitted, and he has admitted with equal precision and fulness the causes of the utter isolation of France from all the great Powers of the Continent. lie makes no secret of his intentions. France will not rest satisfied till the victories and glories of the Empire are again realised, till the Rhine is the boun dary, and her influence is paramount in Italy, Egypt, and Turkey. The present, of course, is not the proper season. The party to which he belongs is too well watched, and the feelings ar rayed against any extension of the French frontier are too strong ; but he waits his timm•. "I am con vinced," says he, " that if at a later period war should break out, we have a chance of finding different com binations in Europe ;" and then he draws a very sig nificant contrast :—" In time of peace, we must ob serve treaties; in time of war there is no limit to ambition but the means of success" (En temps de guerre, it n'y a de limite d'ansbition que le susses). To war, therefore, he looks, and he tells the three great Powers of the Continent what they may ex pect when treaties are no longer to be observed. The Rhine, Italy, and the East the three darling objects of NAroLEoN still dazzle the eyes of M. TRIERS, and prevent France from forming an alliance either with Rus sia, Austria, or Prussia. These are his words : " The first condition of an alliance with Russia would be the sacrifice of our interests in the East. An alliance with Austria would sanction for ever her rule over Italy ; and that with Prussia would be to confine us for ever in the limits fixed by the treaties of 1815. Are not these sacrifices?" This candid announce ment of his foreign policy is important news to the powers interested, and will make them more resolved than ever to shun the very semblance of an alliance with a nation that, under such guklance, would only • . _ _ 1 - _ - . -;: .. . FLANDERS MAIL. BRUSSELS, JAN. 23.—The average price of wheat last week was 161. 55e., and that of rye 10f. 31c. per hectolitre. The duties on impartation are still 37f. 50c. on wheat, and 21f. 50c. on rve, per 1,000 kilo grammes. The export duty on both is 25 centimes per 1,000 kilogrammes. A letter from the Hague says, that his Majesty the King of the Netherlands had, by a decree dated the 18th, arrinted M. Rochussen to the post of Go vernor-General of the Dutch possessions in India. A Valenciennes journal says, "Complaints are made in Belgium of the great quantities of small French coin which are in circulation in the communes on the frontier, within four or five leagues of the French territory. This is a natural conse4uence of the sale of tobacco, salt, sugar, coffee, and other ar ticles sold retail by the little Belgian shopkeepers, to the inhabitants of the nearest frontier of France, who, finding that they can supply themselves on lower terms in Belgium do not hesitate to do so with Out troubling themselves about the Custom-house officers. If the Belgians reap the profits they must bear the inconvenience. The French peasant who purchases a little tobacco, or a pound of sugar-candy, cannot pay except in sous, since he comes from France, and hence the immense quantity of small French coins on the Belgian frontier, proceeding from very extensive re tail trade with the French peasants.—Brussels papers, Jan. 24. TURKISH FRONTIERS, JAN. 16.—0 n the 15th of last month John Philippesco was affianced to the eldest daughter of Prince Bibesco, Hospcdar of Wal lachia ; the marriage took place three days afterwards, on St. Nicholas' day. It is said that the project of making a canal from the Lower Danube to Kuslindechee, has been found to be impracticable, and has been given up. '1 he Allgemeine Zeitung (from which the above is extracted) has an article of nearly two columns from the Lloyd's Austrian, which positively affirms and shows in great detail that the plan is perfectly practicable, and would prove very profitable. Ilopes are entertained here that the treaty of the 22d of September, 1840, be tween Austria and Russia, will shortly be carried into execution. The Sulima mouth of the Danube is said to be more and more choked up with sand, so as to he in some places hardly more than eight or nine feet deep. Letters from Berlin say that his Majesty the King of Prussia, on the application of the Protestant com munity of Jassy, has ken pleased to accept the patronage of the Protestant Church in that city.

The Queen, Prince Albert, the Duchess of Kent, the Court, and the domestic household, attended Divine service this morning in the private chapel in the Castle. The Honourable and Rev. Charles Leslie Courtenay officiated. Mr. Alderman Moon was yesterday honoured by receiving her Majesty's gracious command for every facility to be given to M. Aloux, an artist, to whom his Majesty Louis Philippe has confided the execution of a picture (to he painted at the Castle), repre senting the event of the Presentation of the Address tendered to the King of the French, at Windsor Castle, by the Lord Mayor, the Aldermen, and other members of the Corporation of the City of London, as a companion in size to a picture now painting, by Winterhalter, at the Castle, for his Majesty's palace at Versailles. The Duchess of Cambridge and the Hereditary Grand Duke of Mecklenburgh Strelitz attended Divine service yesterday morning in Grosvenor Chapel. Baron knesebeck was in waiting on the Royal Duchess.

The packet from Brazil has arrived rather sooner than was expected. A large amount of bills had been taken before the steamer left, and parties making remittances must have had some sacrifice to make. The interior of the empire was more tranquil than usual. Dates of November 9, from Buenos Ayres, mention that the. United States' captain who seized the Argentine squadron, had not been supported in his conduct by his Commodore, and that some satisfaction was expected to be afforded. Paz is said to have escaped from Santa Catalina, and it was supposed would proceed to Rio Grande, and hence get to Corrientes. Accounts to the 31st October from the Mauritius are not of much interest here. It was stated that Sir W. Gomm, the Governor, intended to apply to Lord Stanley to raise the value of the Company's rupee, in circulation in the col,lny. The revenue returns were satisfactory. The Bank of England statement to Saturday last gives changes of less magnitude than the last return. The circulation is 30,0501. less, and the bullion 11,9881. more, while the deposits have decrea-ed altogether about 134,0001 The decisions of the Committee of the Board of Trade in favour of additional lines of railways in Ireland, in cluding the Newry and Enniskillen, and the Dublin and Cash-1 Extensions, has given satisfaction to those inter ested in the prosperity of Ireland, as, if sanctioned by Parliament, as no doubt these and other lines will, be a means of employment will be afforded to many of the people of that cour.try which heretofore, as far as our capitalists are concerned, has been almost itirely neglected The English Funds are drooping again.
