GENERAL MINA.

( From MC nrtit 11rii011.)
PLYMOUTH..DOCK, DEC. 10.—Minn continues
o receive the most marked attentions here from all ranks of
society. On Sunday morning last he attended Divine Smite
ut the Roman Catholic Chapel, Stunehouse. The place was
crowded, and after service he walked to the Duck. Ile was
attended by crowds who continually augmented, and, as in
reverential observance of the day, no cheering took Ware, re-
spect fur the gallant Chief was shown by taking off- the hat,
bowing, &c,, and all the officers of the navy and army who met,
shook bands most heartily with him. At the head of Stonehenge-
hill, the guard turned out as he passed; Mina and his compe-
nions passing it uncovered. He proceeded through the streets
of Dock, and as it was the conclu dt n of divine service the vol.
Biers were marching lime. He particularly noticed the Lan.
Ctrs, and the 3d Regiment of Guards. In the principal Street
of the town the crowd augmented, and all ranks slanted
him in the most cordial manner. It was impossible to ob..
serve the sympathy and enthusiasm of the people of all ranks
withnut emotion. All party spirit bad vanished, there was a
complete union of sentiment; all differences had merged into
one general and warm manifestation in favour of the hero who
had fought for freedom, anti the spectacle was as new as it
was impressive.—The invitations to Mina to partake of dill-
ners, &c. are many and pressing; and some trout the highest
quarters. Once in the week lie dines on board the ilag-whip,
the Britannia; and on Thursday at the mess of the Marine
Barracks. Money has been offered to him, but he has fiends, d
receiving pecuniary aasistanee.—One anecdote may suffice to
show the spirit that existed at Plymouth when he landtd.
Just after his retiring to his room at the Royal Hotel, the pre-
sident of a party of gentlemen who were dining g " rt.
health of Mina," when the whole party rose and gaveave
nine as tounding cheers, shaking the ceiling of the room above them, at d
in which the chief was sitting. Mina walks slowly, anti wit ,
the help of a stick, being lame from a wound, and Irma being
froat.bittcn. There is more of mildness than of any mho quality
in his countenancer good nature, good temper, allithility, and
a tendency even to jocularity, seem to be imprinted on his fea-
tures. lie is dressed in the English fashion, but several of his
suite wear Spanish uniforms. Gen. Pampluna is among them
The editor of the Pio/month Journal having inserted some
scurrilities respecting Mina and Sir Robert It ilson, the indig-
nation here and at Plymouth is such us I. never beftire witnes-
sed. The man that could write such trash mum have a weak:
head and a bad heart. lie will not, however, write much mute
here. His dismissal is demanded on all sides. The paper is
generally discontinued, paquinades are published, and the
general belief is that it cannot long exist.
A copy of the paper was publicly burned on Thursday, and another on Monday, on the parade, amidst the execratioul of a
concourse of spectators.
PLYMOUTH JOURNALm:We noticed In our last that the
Plymouth journal was publicly burnt in ourstreets during the
last week ter the infamous and false accounts it contained of
the reception of General Mina. We have now to record that
for the same cause it hits been expelled from the readittr.roo
tt
of Messrs. Rowe by the subscribera.—(Deten Freeholder.)

Lord BYttort yet continues in Cephalonia,
waiting the return of two messengers •whom he
had dispatched into Peloponesus, to learn the
state of the interior.
