The perverse obstinacy and blind infatuation of the
Spanish Klee, seem destined at length, 1 ke virtue, to
be their own reward. Even ti.e lIOLT FATHER has
deserted him, as appears by a very remarkable rescript
from his Holiness, dated 29th June last, a +dres.e.d to his
beloved son GUADALOUPI VICTORIA, in answer, as it
would appear, to a letter dated on the 50th October,

1824, which the latter had forwarded to the Sove, eign
Pontiff. on the .state of the Mexican Chu: eh, accom-
panied with many corroborative documents.
To understand this correspotideace, the Reader must
revert .to the famous encyclic letter addressed by the
POPE to the Bishops and Clergy of Mex:co, in saltier;
he had exhorted them to remain cobstant to their elle.
giance to FERDIriAND, and thus gave another proof, ,
in addition to the ten thousand testimonies of former
times, that the See of Rome is constanly on the alert
to interfere in the temporal affairs of Nations; whenever
the cause of Region affords it" decent pretext. This
encyclic letter was last year published, by GUADALOUPE
Vie-roma, as head of the Government of Mexico,
with unsp sting comments on the pretensions of the
Holy Father to disturb the internal tranquillity of inde-
pendent Nations, under the mask of Religion. The
measure was bold and courageous, as it was novel in
countries where the Roman Catholic Religiln prevails
But the well known piety of General Vrevoara, and his
pre-eminent and exemplary attachment to the cere-
monies of the Itomish Church, which, mote than any
other of his more valuable qualities, had rendered him
the idol of the people, and originally secured his supre-
macy in the Government, cansed the adoption of
such a measure to be less hazardous 'in his, than.
perhaps, it would have been in any other hands
The conclave had doubtless rind inform stiouthat tht
authority of the Chair of St. Peter was rapidly dimi-
nishing in the estimati in of the Mexican population,
and that the POPE himself was proved, in regard to this
instance of interference in temporal affairs, to have been
decidedly in the, wrong, notwithstanding his usual aur i-
bute of infallibility. The letter of the rniSIDLNT, of
30th Oct. 1824, appears also to have been in the nature of
a strong remonstrance. With that dexterous suppleness,
which has ever been inherent to thePontificalCouncilsond
which has always adapted itself to times and circumstan-
ces, his Holiness now turns round to his dear son and
says, " Our peculiar character, and the dignity to which,
" without the least merit, we were raised, exact of us
" that we interfere not with anything unconnected with
"the Church." This is mighty good. He adds (whatl
is much more important)—" Your .constancy in the,
" Catholic Faith, and your veneration for the Apostolic
" Chair, se strongly recommend you to us, that we
"have with great reason considered that we ought to
" suenshcr you with the sou whom we most love in Jaws
" CHRIST."

That is, we acknowledge in your person, by this title
which we apply to Sovereign Princes, the Independence
of the Mexican Republic. Pi obably the public recognition
of that Independence by England, had no small share
in promoting this important measure; at all events, the

sovereignty of Mexico ix now finally sealed And con-
summated by the recognition of that Power on the
friendship of which, hf all alters, it most coricerdi the
Internal tranquillity of-the oition to have a strong hold.
The pride- and stupid obstinacy of the inflexible man
under whose domination the gallant people of one of
the fairest portions of Europe are doomed to remain
for a season, may still itsdece him to hold out, and de-
prive the subjects who are thus afflicted with his mis
rule, of the benefits resulting to them from friendly
intercourse with a kindred people. This concerns not
Mexico, nor is it of the smallest importance to any
other nation. She has broken the last fragment of her
chains, and now emerges from shori,h subjection into
the glorious rank of a mighty empire, and takes her
dignified place among the independent Sovereignties
of the world.

This forenoon we teceived the Allgemeine Zeitung,
and Frankfort Papers to the Ist inst. They contain
some intelligence from St Petersburg!), but it is
neither of a late date nor interesting. Accounts from
Munich state, that Prince WRLDIZ WAS to set out for
St. Petersburg!), to congraturate the Emperor NICHOLAS
On his accession t the throne. The f. Mowing are extraats:

BRUNSWICK, JANUARY 25.

Our brave troops have lately undergone a great
change in their external appearance. The gloomy black
uniforms have disappeared. The corps of the brave
Frederick William took ample vengeance in Spain and
at Waterloo. The dark spirit is banished, and life and
prosperity have returned with the peace, which was so
impatiently longed for. Only one battalion, under the
command of the brave Majlr Normann, retains, in
eteraam memoriam, the black uniform, with the silver
emblems of death on their shakos, which obtained the
corps, in Spain and Sicily, the name of Regiment° della
Marie. All the other troops, viz. the battalion of the
Guards, the • first and second Regiments, wear now,
with some slight variations, the Prussian uniform ; only
the Guards have the immense fur caps of the Hun-
garian grenadiers, and our artillery the helmets of the
Bavarian infantry, which are both soldierlike and hand-
some. But above all, the newly raised Hussars of the
Guard ate distinguished, who, in splendour and ele-
gance, may be compared with any corps of the kind
in Europe.

You may believe without restriction what the Journal
dt Sl. Pderrbargh contains. I tell you this, because
people in genend are not disposed to attach much credit
to the news contained in half-official journals. The
orders to the army are more detailed, but not less true:
there is, however, no trantlation of them at present, and
perhaps will not be. According to the positive declara-
tion of our new Emperor, we may henceforward expect
more communications from the Government to the
public than we have hitherto been accustomed to. His
MAjesty chews great activity, mildness combined with
ftrmitess, and very comprehensive views. All that
approach the Monarch are full of his praise. On several
occasions he has spoken in such a manner, that tbose who
heard him sere filled with delight and astonishment.

If the accounts from St. Petersburgh can be relied
on, the Emperor Nicnotas seems rather to be seated
on a barrel of gunpowder than reclining on a bed of
ruses; it, however, remains to be seen whether the re-
volt lif the regiment in Sr. Petersburgh, and that is
Volhinia, an account of which we gave yesterday, are
momentary ebullitions, or part of a systematic plait.
'That a military despotism, like that of littssia, shoaid
generate some discontent does not seem improbable,
but we are still by no means convinced that in the two
instances to which we have referred, the change in*.the
succession may not have been the leading cause
of disobedience.

It is stated in one account. that in the revolt of
fqOURAVIIFF, seven hundred of the insurgents had
been taken prisoners. after the square they had formed
had been broken by a discharge of grape shot and a
charge of cavalry. MouLtirtanr, as we stated, was
cilarg, cl with having conceived designs against the
life of the late EMPRROR ; and a Morning Paper, which
asserts that ALEXANDER was really assassinated, drags
in the Russian Order of the Day as a proof that the
crime was perpetrated, whereas it only states that the
plot was discovered, as will be seen by the terms in
which it is mentioned in the original.
The Etoile states, Colonel MOUR AVIEFF was one of the
men, who " depuis plusiairs anise •s deja, nourrissaient
d'affieuses intentions centre le gouvernement, et qui
avaient nr tame coop rhoirible projet d'attenter aux jours
de feu l'Empereur Alexandre, de glorieuse memoirs.
Ala decouverte de cette frame paricide l'arrestation de
MounatviEFF avait ete ordonne.'' In addition to the
Russian a. counts given yesterday, we subjoin the fol-
lowing extract from a private letter, dated

" Sr. FIMMISUIMINT, JAR. 17.

" It appears that the occurrences which took place os the aeon.
sion of offering the oath of allegiance to Nacsocas to the military,
originated in a plot far snore dangerous than we had been led to
suppose. According to this account, the death of Amuse= only
occasioned a premature explosion of what bad bees in coalempla-
tioe for twelve years. The attempt to establish a Constitution war'
to have commenced by murdering the whole Imperial family, on
the letb of next month! on which day, every member of the
family makes a point of attending at the chapel is the castle, where
a religious ceremony takes place in memory of Pats.. The Im-
perial victims were to have been shut up lithe chapel, and there
murdered; the castle was then to have been seized, ap the foreigners
to have been massacred, and the town given up sidle soldiers, to
be pillaged, for three days.

The grand Catholic. Dinner, which has been so long
in preparttien, took place on Thursday, in Dawbon-
L street, Dublin, and ii said, by the Editor Of the' Averting

Post. to be by far the most stittiptuottipnblic (Unite
ever witnessed. Among the company present were----L

Goamansroura was in the Chair, and Lnrd ICILLeed
Vice-President. The usual toasts, which were announced
by Mr. O'Cossitu., were drank with the accustomed
honours. The galleries were graced with the presence
of a great number of Ladies.

Las! night, Mr. Secretary PEEL laid before the House
of Commons, copies of the treaties with France, the
Colombian Republic, and the Hanseatic Cities. The
first of these will be found in another page; the treaty
with Colombia was published in the STAR on the
30th of June last, and that wi,h the Hanseatic Towns
appeared in the STAR of the 23,1 of December last.—
The leading feature of all those Treaties is reciprrcityi
which forms the basis of our foreign policy, and must
ultimately benefit every State that follows our example.

Accounts from Madrid, of the 24th January, state,
the KING was to preside in person the nest day at the
Council of State, as the Notes delivered by the Foreign
Powers, relative to South America, caused him to be
present at the important discussion on that subject. A
great change has taken place in the Council since the
surrender of St. Juan d'Ulloa, and some of the mern-
bers are for acknowledging the independence of South
America. It appears that the augmentation of the price
of bread and meat in that capital has caused disccrnteat
among the populace: the Police have been on the alert
for several days, there being great fears that cam motions
will take place.

The Duchess of Sr. Lau has arrived at Rome, with
her son, Louts N*potrox.
Thursday, the hearing of Appeals in the House of
Lords will commence, according to existing arrangements.

One of the fashionable Club Houses in St. James's-

hen are admitted they eight o'clock in the evening, by paying a
fine of sixpence each.
Mr. MORIER, who went out to Mexico on a mission,
has returned in his Majesty's ship VIGILANT, having
left Mexico on the 16th, a d Alvarado on the 22d of
December. The letters from Mexico, which are of the
date of the 16th December, state, that the circulation
of the apostolical benediction on the Mexican nation,
has had a most visible effect on the Clergy, who now.
seeing their communication with their. spiritual head
renewed, are laying aside all thought of any return to
Spanish authority, and ate rapidly yielding to the new
order of things.
Colonel GURRZA. now in Lyndon, has been informed
by his afflicted family, that his btOther, a Lieutenant of
Cavalry, has been beheaded and quartered at PAM.,
peluna, and that one of his quarters has been sent to be
hung up in his native town of Olite. Such, even, was
the refined cruelty of his executioners, that this muti-
lated relic of her son was ordered to be exposed before
the house, and in view of his mother. The faMily of
Ginhilt, to which this martyr of the Constitution be-
longed, distinguished himself in supporting the cause
of FARDINAND during the war of independence. No
less than seven of them entered guerilla parties in
Navarre. Some of them lost their lives in fighting for
FARMHAND against the French, and the rest have been
murdered or dispersed in the war of freedom and con-
stitutional monarchy against the French and the ab-
solute Kirg.

in the Empire of Brazil, which have been made public
by the Brazilian Journals, will not receive the
ratification of his Britannic Majesty without important
modification.:'

The following is an extract of a letter, dated Guaya-
quil, October SI r—" The English steam-boat Zelica,
Captain Gibbs, on her passage from this to Chorillos,.
met with a melancholy accident off Guarmay, ow the
10th of October. By a letter from one of the passen-
gers. it appears that himself and four others were pir
shore, when to their great surprise they saw a tremen-
dous explosion on board the vessel. Those on shore im-
mediately went on board,, when they learnt that a Mr.
Metrovich, the owner of the vessel, had set fire to the.
magazine, with a cruel intention of destroying thelives
of every one on board. When they reached the vessel,
they found five of their fellow-passengers, the Captain,
and Mr. Metrovich, dead, one missing, • and three
wounded. The machinery of the vessel, it appear* was
not injured, neither was the vessel making any water.
As yet, nothing further has transpired that can lead to
any cause for such a rash act on the part of the rimier:*
Tuesday last the house of John Walker,
_at Kilbefire,
in the barony of Carbery, in the county of Kildare, OW
of the estate of F. Hamilton, Esq. was wilfully set on
-fire, and burnt to the ground. The inmates, who were
in bed, were dreadfully scorched, and narrowly escaped,
but in a state of nudity. A man of Walker's was
also much burnt. The only cause assigned is, that
Walker had been appointed herd by Mr. Hamilton, to
superintend a farm recently surrendered by thetenant,
who owed 1881. from which Mr. Hamilton released
him on surrendering.
Mr. C. W. whose great height renders him very
remarkable in the streets of Loudon, was lately met in
•Fleet-street, during the frost, by a Gentleman nearly as
All as himself. Struck with the appearance of each
nher, they entered into conversation, and were speaking
