We have received some very interesting and important
details from Mexico, and regret very much that .want of
space prevents their appearing to-day.

The fluctuation in Portuguese bonds,
being attributable to' the reported recognition of Don
Mic Uzi. by his brother, .proceeds, as we are inform-
ed on good authority; by the intentions of immediately
depositing in the Bank of England, money for the
payment of the dividends, to which we particularly al-
luded some days ago. We shall very shortly be en-
abled to furnish our readers with more positive informa-
tion on this transaction, which is so highly honourable to
the Brazilian Government.
Having from the commencement of our labours in
July last, determined to make foreign politics—and
especially those of Prance—a Conspicuous feature of the
STAR, we have omitted no opportunity of commenting
on passing events among our neighbours, nor of reply-
ing to such doctrines and assertions in the columns
of our contemporaries, as seemed to call for censure,l
or to require refutation. We considered this to 'be
particularly incumbent on us, whenever writers—whose
sentiments were evidently opposed to freedom—at-
tempted to make the columns of professedly liberal
papers on this side the channel, the vehicle of their opi-
nions. Although we do not arrogate to ourselves the
merit of having silenced E. E. and X. of the
' Times, it is highly creditable to the conductors
of that influential Journal, to have rejected their
late communications, since none have appeared for some
weeks. They cannot in fact be indifferent to the mis-
chievous effect of allowing the opponents of public liberty
to make its organs subservient to their anti-liberal doc-
trines, and false representations. It was in our anxiety
to prevent this mischief, and at all events refute what we
felt to be untrue, that we noticed the Parisian Cor-
respondent of the Chronicle, a paper so long distin-
guished for its pure politics and constitutional advo-
cacies. Admitting, which we readily did, that 0. P. Q.
possessed n large fund of information, we denied—
as we still •dO—his sweeping asseverations with re-
gard to the extent of the Republican party and
feeling which exist in .Frapce. The truth and justice of
all our remarks on this subject have been amply corro-
. berated by many: striking comments in the Contitu-
tionnel, and Courrier Fru/Mats. Without going further
back, it is utterly impossible to read the sixth and seventh
letter of this writer, and not feel convinced that his ob-
ject is neither more nor less than to excite such alarm
among the Cabinets and aristocracies of Europe, as. led
:to• the coalition of the revolutionary war, and all its
' ruinous coneepiencee: We will extract only two short
passeges,•and leave it for our readers to decide on the cor-
, rectness or fallacy of tour conclusions. After pointing out
who are the advocates for the " sovereignty of the people,
the right of a nation to choose its own Government,' and
the substitutiOn of a republican government for a limited
Monarchy," o, P. Q, says :

-.A

* sign of the times, by which Princes should hasten to
profit, if they hope to avoid the calamities and vicissi-
tudes of which the history of the last forty years presents
so many melancholy examples. But to believe with 0.
P. Q. that the ORLEANS family, or the mass of the
French people sigh for a Republic, would be a most
glaring absurdity, equally opposed to fact and reason.
The next passage, in which 0. P. Q. gives a loose to
all .his rancour against the liberal party, and discloses his
real principles, is as follows :
"The Liberal Journals are guilty of the grossest decep-
tion. They affect love for the King, love for the Royal
Family, love for the Bourbons. They do this to avoid
startling the public, and confounding or arousing Europe.
They think that if they declared their real sentiments and
wishes, they would frighten the timid, mean, moderate
men from their party, and thin their ranks. " Little by
little" is their motto; and therfirst attack the Ministers,
and then Royalist principles ; and, finally, they will speak
out, and say, 'Wherefore have we a King to reign over us?'
" I hate the hypocrisy of the Liberals in this particular.
The veil is not thick enough to disguise the figure which
is beneath it, and it is unworthy of men who profess to
contend not about persons but principles. But I will
mills this veil. I will show that the Liberals do not love
the King—do not respect the Bourbons•-do not desire
the perpetuity of the Monarchy—and that they lie, when
they profess to feel either respect, affection, or loyalty."
111 reply to this violent tirade, we boldly assert, that
the political leaders of France, and the majority of both
Chambers, are decidedly favourable to a limited Mo-
narchy, rather than a Republic ; and that the great mass
of the people—including the army and marine—are per-
fectly. indifferent to the matter. And this preference
of Monarchical Government on the part of the
leaders and majorities, arises from a, conviction that
neither the institutions, habits, nor manners of their
country, are suited to republican forms. It is almost
needless to add, that the complete failure of the experi-
ment made in 1793, is another powerful motive among
all classes, for regarding the re-establishment of a Re-
public as among the " wild and visionary" projects of
the day. While there is one settled conviction with regard
to the actual feelings of the predominant party in France,
we do not pretend to deny that a prolongation of the
present unhappy disagreement between the Court and the
People—or the pertinacious adherence of the former to
a minority, composed of men violently adverse to public
liberty—might produce an extraordinary change.. •
We have over and over again repeated, that the sym-
pathies of all Europe are with France, and for this
very obvious reason : that there is not a single state
from the wilds of Siberia, to the straits of Gibraltar and
Cape Spartevanto, in which a greater or less degree of
oppression and misrule has not prepared men's minds for
those reforms, which can alone eradicate existing evils,
and afford guarantees for the future. We ask, for
the hundredth time, whether wisdom, prudence, and
policy does not suggest to Princes and Ministers, how
infinitely better it would be to meet the universal wish
by timely adaptations, than persevere—as they blindly
do—in a course, which cannot fail to renew the calami-
ties of French revolution ?

There is not a syllable of foreign news received this
day to which we can attach the slightest importance.
We have German and Paris papers; but they are equally
barren. From Marseilles we are informed that the re-
ported abandonment of the PORTE by his ally in Egypt
is all a fiction. ALI PACHA seems to bo sensible that
' an attempt to make himself independent, though
crowned with success for the moment, would in the end
only hazard his own existence."
MARSEILLES, Dec. 2.

We have good reason to believe, that all that has been said of
the ambitious projects of Mabomet AU Paths of Egypt, is founded
on mere Actions. A person who has lately arrived here from
Alexandria, and whose situation afforded him the means of making
himself acquainted with the real sentiments of that extraordinary
man, asserts that be Is very far from desiting to dissolve the ties
which unite him with the Porte. He is too weli acquainted with
the policy of Europe not to be aware what interest it takes
In the preservation of the Ottoman Empire. Hence he
infers, that if an attempt to make himself independent
th-.ugh crowned with success for the moment, would In the
end only hazard his own existence. At this moment Eng-
lish influence preponderates in the Divan at Cairo ; but if the Inte-
rests of France were in more able hands than those of M. Drovetti,
we might be the more confident that Mehemet would again be dis-
posed to favour us, as he has a personal regard for the French, and
most of the foreigners in his service are of that nation...—Ntovss-

Accounts from Greece inform us that at the same time with Col.
Hiedegger and Capt. &hmitalein, the Bavarian physician, Dr. Zee-
chariot quitted.** Greek service. Having been sent by his Majesty
to the Mona in 1548 to prosecute his studies in the service .t
suffering humanity, be has succeeded; by the organisation of the
hospital, &c. in rendering great services to the medical system of
the infant state, which rectified its grateful appreciation of his
services by appointing him chief physician to the regular troops. In
this capacity be had last summer the good fortune to care most of
the members of the scientific espedidon.from France, at the head
of which is Colonel Deadest Flatent, who weft sit dangerously lit
of the prevalent bilious and nervous &Vers. The'departurn of the.
bet of Ms countrymen, and still more, the conviction that as the is-
Menai stain of the country were brought into better order, (weird
old was no longer so necessary, induced him in August lag to quit
the G reek service; and in prosecution of his medical service, to smpp
for a time in the utiles quality of physician to the Scat ea Wed lie

We infer to a very sensible and feeling fitter In indthSr
column, on the subject. of UNPORTUWATZ
That the Institutions at present existing can only be re-
garded ai partial and insufficient asylums fee this un-,
friended class, we have been long aware ; but ihe pubhe

is little acquainted with the imperfections and vices of $
system, which—ostensibly claiming to be charitable—is
deformed by much inward injustice, and practices which
revolt humanity. We trust that we shall hear farther
from our correspondent on these matters ; he seems to
be feelingly excited by the contemplation of our perverted
charities, and we invite him to persevere.
With reference to one establishment alluded to in his
letter—the Magdalen—we know that the usage pro-
ngs, which he reprobates, " of shutting the gates
against the penitent applicant without any examina-
tion into the merits of the case, with this answer—
The house is full." We have, however, some ques-
tions of our own to put, to the Committee • who
conduct examinations for admission at the Magda-
len, and especially to the 'Chaplain of that estab-
lishment, who is a. leading member of the said Cow
mime. And first, we will ask that Committee—anti
the reverend member 'of it more especially—whether they
have not frequently turned into the Street Wanks., im,
ploring females, whose aberrations—to their knowledge—
were marked by many palliatory circumstances, which
entitled them to peculiar protection ?. We ask the reverend
Chaplain, whether he does not teeollect—in the year.
18/3:---turling away one stipPlhinf In particular, whose
youth, whose education, and whaler repentant anguish
appealed eloquently against the cruel exclusion, aid me-
rited far other treatment ? And we call upon that Com-
mittee to deny, if it can, that it has often stated to a
forlorn applicant—and that it did state, to this one more
immediately in question—that she wasnot suPTICIUTTLY
DEPILAVID, to entitle her to the protection of the Mag-
dalen/ Thus making the very virtue of the Penitent a bar
to her reception in a Charity, instituted for the express
purpose of reclaiming and shielding just such individuals
as the applicant, from the barbarity and scorn of the
world !

We join heartily in the invitation given by our Car'
respondent to the Directors of those establishments, and

we hope that some among them will have grace enough to
answer his interesting queries. He is evidently a person
in possession of many secrets of the prison-house, and
if the authorities continue contumaciously silent, the
way to reform may yet be paved by the divulgation and
exposure of these. There are no institutions of the
country, rifer of abuse than are its charities.

CITY, TWELVE &CLOCK.

We have no arrivals this morning of consequence, and not a
single ship letter has come to hand; consequently we are quite
destitute of political information to the present time.
Consols, which left off yesterday at 041 to 95, opened at the
same price, soon after were done at 99 for the Account; since
which they have returned to the former price, with little doing.
Accounts from Toulon state, that a vast numb's' of ships are

now in that port, waking orders for their destination; In came.
quence of which, varloes reports are in circulation. By some it
is asserted, that they are destined to return to the Mores, whilst
ethers assert they are to proceed to Algiers : but It is certain that
the Dey strongly solicits peace. It is also stated, that the Pasha
of Egypt. whose navy is numerous, has a design to take Algiers,
and proclaim himself Day, and will be assisted by France.
In the Foreign Mirka there is some business doing in Brasil
Stock, which has laspreved.
Accounts from Madrid, of the Bth Dec. state, that the amnesty
would be made public on the 12th this month ; but it eralerienced
great opposition. The new Bank of St. Ferdinand inspires great
confidence, and the Minister of Finance appears to ►e greatly in fa-
•our of its
,operatives. A dividend has been announced of the
ancient Bank of St. Charles. The public are mach surprised to
perceive the great quantity of money in circulation in Spain, within
a short period. It la reported in the Salons, that the King of
Nan= has some political commission, relative to Don Munn.—
O'Donan.r., Captain.Oeneral of Castilla accompanied with several
Oaken, was stopped by a banditti, and were held on the ground an
hour, and stripped of every thing.

HALF-PAST ONE.

We have received, by extraordinary conveyance, the following,
from Vienna, of the 14th of December;—" The Funds are 'tin
getting up. particularly the Loans of Rothschild : Five per Cents
foe the end of December, 103; Bank Shares, 1,248; Rothschild's
Loan, Five pet Cent. 1751; for 1820, at Four and a Half. 1331."
The bone of contention during the whole of the morning in the
price of Consols between the Bulls and Bears was 95 foe the. Ac-
count, alternately buyers and sellers. The Commhsionen pur-
chased Three and a Half at par, .8107,000 Reduced at 94.
Up to the present time we have no political information of con-
sequence.

In the Foreign Market, a good deal has been done in Brasil and
Portuguese Stocks, which have improved ; in other Foreign Seco.
rides but little doing.

The private letters by the Lisbon mail communicate
some information which, if not exaggerated, must be
looked upon as extremely important, as shelving that
Don Miguel is placed in a most precarious situation
from the exhausted state of his Treasury ; and that his
Throne is actually endangered by the arrears due to the
troops, who are beginning to evince a mutinous disposi
tion. The rise of one per cent. in Portuguese Stock,
which occurred in the Foreign Market to-day; is to be
traced to the contents of these Imitate • annmunicationsi
Mal the hoims indulged that son* 'change is at hand;
for any change, the speculators in these Securities ima-
gine, would improve the prospect as to the payment of the
dividends.

MILAN, DEc. B.—lt is understood that early in 1830,
all the Austrian garrisons of the principal cities in Vene-
tian Lombardy, will be relieved. It' appears that there ,
is a dread of suffering the same'
troops to rtunain too '
twig in Italy. The soldiers. Ma becoming familiar with
the inhabitants of the country, and they no longer keep
up that salutary terror which Austria so mach requires
in order to insure respect for divine and Ulan laws, and
render the people happy in spite of themselves. It is
also runtoured that the measure has been demanded by
the Aulic Council, who are desirous of marching into
Italy .several Hungarian • , which in their own
country are of little use to de Metternich. At Cre-
mona, Pavia,' Verona, and Venice, great activity prevails
in penetrating &somata of the higher class, and the
students are also watched with the greatest care. The
overflowing daddy all the rivers has reduced many of
the ialmbitanti of the country to ruin and misery.—
