Mr nun Sias—l am* yes, gratefully and respectively, for
the honour which you as my other Friends have conferred
upon me, by your support at the late Election of a Representative
for the University of Oxford. The trust to which lam thus and..
daily called is one which I have always regarded as the most va.
luable to which an English Commoner could attain. That tree
reflected honour upon even such men as Sir %Vitus* SCOTT and
Mr. Minos : It was the object of Mr. Casteree's early and late
ambition; and in the discharge of it Mr. Piet for many year,
faithfully and honourably represented the opinions of the most en.
lightened body of Constituents' in the Empire. To succeed any
one of these distinguished individuals, in such a nation, is a prize
fur which any other man might well feel it to he his highest honour
to contend; but I regard not my success as any matter of mere
personal gratilication, because I cannot attribute it to any personal
preference in my favour. I value the result of the Election at re-
cording the high-minded consistency with which the great majority
of the first University in the world has refosed to listen to every
ordinary and sordid motive of personal interest. I value that re-
sult still more, as recording deliberately the opinions of the most
intellectual and most influential body in England on the Roman
Catholic Question—the great trial which was practically submitted
to them in the persons of the two Candidates. I value it, because
it has proved, that in the judgment of mi many en•itied to guide
public opinion in sa many part. of England, the Constiul•on of
England ought to be preserved fundamentally anJ exclusively Pro.
testant—that no infringement ought to be made on the great set-
ekatent of 1655, under which, by the blessing of Goo, tlit.cpontry
has bectime the greatest, the most free, the happiest of nations;
and that, in order to plumate the continuance of these results. we
must continue the operation of the same causes; and must fermis
a Protestant People, with a Protestant Legislature, the wily se-
curity for a Protestant King.
With an earnest desire to support the municipal tights and pri-
vileges of the University, with an ardent determination to uphold,
by all the means in my power, the cause of the Established
Church, and to promote, in Parliament, the best Interests of the
country which are ideatifled with that Church.—l have the honour
to remain, with great respect, your obliged and faithful sere int,
ROBERT HARRY INGLIS.

Extract of a letter received by the Rinaldo peke,
from Vera Clue, this day (2J March,:—. • •

de The day after the depagtore,of the 1-st packet Athe
30th ultimo) a Revolution brnke out in t .►s City, the

effects of-which will be Icng felt; its object was to te.
move General Pedraza, Minister of War aid Pn si 'ent
Elect, and declare General' Guerrera fit ure riesident,
in direct opposition to all law, justice, and the praociplea
of the Constitution.
4' The Chiefs of the revolting party were Generals
Guerrera and Lobato, and Z avala, Ehe Ex-Governor of
the State of Mexico. These, taking advantage of:the
absence of Filivola, the Commandants General of Mexico, who
was with the regular troops escocting the convoy of money to the
coast, seized the artillery on the night o. the 50th of November,
and armed all the militia of the city, who declared in their favour I
at the same time they possessed themselves of the citadel, and aU
.the military stores of the Oovesoment, and lortibed thentselves is
'their different positions.
" Few active exertions were taken against the revolting. party
until two days afterwards, when Felivola and the troops returned,
and then the attach cdtameaced with the greatest fury on both
sidess—tbe city and inhabi(arits being exposed for two days tb •
a helvy bre of cannon and musketry through aU the streets and
avenues.
" the troops of the Goverirment behaved with the greatest in.
trepidity, and on the morning of the 4th inst. had defeated the
troops of Guerrera and Lubato, in all points. liut by secret and
treacherous orders, given, it is said, by Victoria, the Presideat
who was in the palace (Fedraza ►eeing, without being able to rie.
tea th, treachery, having retired the night before), all the OA.
dons were shamefully abandoned at a time when victory was
almost in their hands, and the regular troops eh her went over to
Guertera or left the city.
" The victorious parry, consisting of all the cartajle and sires
collates with which the suburbs abounds, then enters? this odor.
tunate capital, and'agreeable to a previous pledge of Gen. Lohato,
who commanded them. they proceeded to a -general sack of the
PAtiall (or general bszaar), situated in the great square and iu (goat
of the palace.

" The scene of horror and indignity that then commenced it Is
impossible to describe--suffice it to say, tint it reflects indeiibie
disgrace on the President acid those in command, to have permitted
such an atrocious act on the properties and persons of their fellow
citizens, and that berate the Palace ant in presence uf_tbose who
maned as victors. The soldiers and mob then proceeded to attack
some of the shops and houses of the old Spaniards, which they aim
pillaged, and murdered in cold blood the old Count del Valle, who
was attached to the opposite party.
" It was not until the morning of the sth that an end was put to
those iniquitous proceedings: 'Tile Amount of low by the sack is
estimated n few. (*Mims dollars, t•Tbe number of killed in eke
attack and defenpe,Soo,amongst which are many unfortunate cant-
Armen, who; fro m' curiosity or ignierance. were in tar streets. '
• " None' of the 'houses or petoperty of the British have sustained
tirred), any losses by these unfottunate and distressing occuertoceir
'but, indirectly, they certalnly have, as the merchants old* Perim
(natives and Spaniards) of large espital have now lost every Miffs
many Britfda kouses.will be great sufferers.
" The city it now, I am happy to say, pie, and the present Go.
vetoer has renewed to the British guaranties for our pErsuas and
properties under every circumstance. All is nowt yet over, and there
is seed for a long civil war, nnless the States confederate and support
each other agaimt this unnapation. Those Stares who have voted
for Pedrosa in the majority will not likely to put up with suck a
gross and open infraction of eke Institution. Several have already
declared against the Guerrera party (or the Par/rise faction), and
the Senate. after having protested against these illegal proceedings,
kw dissolved itself.'

" Felivola is In Pueblas which is the rallying point for the (deeds
of the Governments and when, he bas collected a considerable
number of troops. He has teethed the City. and cut off all the
resout ma of the other party from the coast. Pedrm. is in Julisco
