PARIS, DEC. 20.—The regret caused by the news of the capture of General Torrijos bas been succeeded by lively indignation on its being known that it was attended with circumstances affecting our na. tional honour. The Indicatcur at Bordeaux says that the refugees, about 60 in number, being compelled by the authorities to leave Gibraltar, embarked on board two small French vessels bound to France, but the Spanish Government, which had long watched all their motions, ordered its Custom-house vessels to pursue and drive them on the Spanish coast. The French vessels perceiving, but too late, this infamous plan, in vain hoisted the tri-coloured flag, protested that they were bound to France, that they had no hostile project against Spain, and had no passengers but some unarmed individuals. They were obliged to land their passengers, who were immediately made prisoners. If these particulars are correct (and the Indicatear affirms that they are noted in the afieial despatch of Gen. Monet), a great violation of the rights of nations has been committed which requires exemplary reparation. But we have before us a private letter with a different account. It says Torrijos and his partisans were not forced to quit Gibraltar, but resolved to attempt a landing in Spain. The authorities of that country were soon. informed of the day of their intended- landing, and of the spot where it was to take phipe, and prompt orders were given there to detain them at seg. They, however, succeeded in landing 47 in number, and took a position in a place which the inhabitants abandoned in haste, for fear of being implicated. Troops of the line soon arrived and surrounded them, and, after a murderous fire, at. tacked the refugees at the point of the bayonet, who surrendered at discretion. The Royal troops had three killed and eight wounded, We think the last account the moat probable, and are going to invite solicitude of the Monarchy in favour of these new victims of despotism ; but we jeanthat General leftp that Lafayette has applied to the Minister for 14;oreign Affairs, and that a courier has been despatched to the Spanish (..7,-overnment. ,I,ord Granville, it is said, has written to his colleague at 4<ulyid to second the effort of the French General; and we r 2 assured that the Queer; of the French has written to her piece, the Queen of Spaie, go autograph letter, earnestly reiuesting her to give her pr,otpction to General Torrijos and his companions in misforturte. It seems certain, also  that Madame Torrijos, who was at Paris, is going to set out immediately for Madrid. May all these steps not be useless! May our despatches be more speedy than the justice or the vengeance of absolute power ! We tremble on reflecting that since the last restoration a terrible law has existed in Spain against those who are called rebels—a law which kills without trial.  (From the Journal des Debats of Friday. ) The affairs of Holland and Belgium for some days past have caused false c'rculations, which affected the public credit. We think the following is the true state of things :—lt is not true that the Emperor of Russia has refused the ratification of the treaty between Holland and Belgium. The Emperor being absent at Moscow for some time, received the copy of the treaty there, and the first step the Russian Government took was to present it to King William, counselling him to accept it, and Russia has notified to the other Powers of Europe  that she does not wish to take part in concerting measures against the King of Holland. (From the Temps.) We think to day that the news so promptly received from St. Petersburgh has been fabricated, to counteract the Belgian loan, by some banking house.  CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES, Drc. 21. (
