[NEW TIMEi.I

The Paper; which have long been, affrighti-ng
us with rumours of Congresses at Alilaq and else-
where, cow candidly confess that there is no
ground for believing that any such occurrence
will , take place. They add, (;rather unneces-
sarily) that if a Congress were to be held, and
if it wen. tos end in a formal confederacy for
&rip specifi c purpose hostile to English policy
auk to pub?ic liberty—what then ? Why, that
the result would be a victory to justice, and

au overthrow of arbitrary power. It needed no
;;host to tell as this. England resisted injustice
and arbitrary power from 1793 to 1815, and the
result was, that; England triumphed, and so she
would agiiil, if she had to 6gloti"ii.siMilar battle..

But there is no suet: prospect now ; there is no
linionaparte abroad ; -there is no revolutionary
fever for " liberty and equality:;' and though

is tube observed, that ..the relief thus proposed,
by the, Mexicans is nptfor fellow. sufferers in the'
same cause with themselvei.- The Constitutional
Spaniards clung as pertiaacionsly to the principle...
of Spanish sway _over America as the most obsti-
nate of the Serviles, from the first establishment
of the Cortes in 1808, to the downfall of the re-
vived Constitntion in 1822. There were no stick-
lers for Spanish' Supremacy more stanch than the
Cortes and their officers—no systeM of Colonial
policy more exclusive, more coercive, more op-
•pressive thatk.theirs; which was, in fact, the
course of policy prescribed to them by -the na-
: actual sentiments of the mother country. It is
not therefore to friends or fellow-sufferers that
this charity is now to ne extended : it is to fallen
enemies, to fellow-creatures, naked and hungry,
men banished, forsaken, and desolate. Would
the Serviles have done as much for Mexican
Patriots, had Mexico been subdued, and her
defenders proscribed and persecuted ? Have
any body of Spaniards, either as politicians
or as private members of society, contri-
buted one• farthing to the relief of those most in-
tense privations, and most unmerited sufferings,
inflicted upon their wretched countrymen, whom
Ferdinand's personal baseness, and the tierce
rancour of his advisers and instruments, have
driven,to the only asylum in Europe whence they
were•fiot sure of being unmercifully expelled ?
We congratulate the Mexican people on this evi-1
deuce of their public and their social virtue. 1

r:rtir PUBLIC LEDGER.]
The Turks have commenced opeiations, both
by sea and land, this year, much earlier, and
with an appearance of greater vigour, than -usual.
Their fleet, consisting of seventy sail, under the
orders of the Captain Pacha, has actually put
to sea, as may be seen from the subjoined extract
of a private letter, received yesterday by a very
respectable house in the City. The same letter,
which is dated Zante, March 12, puts to rest
the much-contested point respecting the arrival
of the Egyptian Expedition in the Nlorea. It
will be seen, in the official account which the
Greek Government has published,—(See another
Column of THE SuN,)—that the merit is
claimed of having repulsed the invaders.—
We are very sorry to say that our advices,
which are two weeks later, do not support
this claim. Ibrahim Pacha himself was with
the troops who had landed, and who are estimat-
ed at between six and seven thousand men. There
is a circumstance mentioned in our advices, which
we wish to see disproved, but of which we have
very little hopes, knowing the rigid accuracy of
our informant : he states, that Patrass was still
blockaded by sea, but that no Greek land force
had, yet approached the place. The latter par
of the s►atement would chew such a degree of
apathy, and indeed, culpable neglect, on the part
of that people, that no time should be lost in
contradicting it if false ; and, if this cannot be
done, they-ought, by their subsequent activity,
to repair as much as- possible the effects of their
extraordinary remissness.
