They are unusually important, as they communicate intelligence from Constantinople •f a very alarming nature to the domestic politics of the Porte. That ill-' , fated capital had scarcely ceased to witness revolution and rebellion, with their usual train of•massacre, execu tions, and banishments, when a considerable portion of it was doomed to become a prey to the flames. In order to fill up the ranks of his new army, the S.lltan had caused all the young Tut ks found in the streets or the markets to be pressed. He continued to order exe cutions, which being made at night and not in the face of day as before, seemed acts of individual enmity or vengeance, and not of public justice. He had submitted, , the cheeks for payments on the treasury to such a ri gorous exanainatictn, that most of those who held them feared to present them, lest a very summary way of paying them should be adopted, in order to diminish the amount of claims on the State. Beside all this, he accumulated immense treasures, and spent compara tively but little. All these formed an union of griev ances which detached the people from his side, and induced them to regret the old state of things. A degree of apparent tranquillity, however, prevailed, which de ceived the Sultan. He conceived that the execution of his plans of reform was sufficiently advanced to al!ow the Standard of the Prophet to be safely returned to the great Mosque, where it had lain for so many ages. In vain did the Grand Vizier remonstrate against the measure as premature and dangerous; preparations were made for carrying it into effect, and nothing re mained but to throw open the gates of the Seraglio to receive the sacred Palladium of the Turkish empire, when the discontents of the people, no longer awed by its presence, displayed themselves in the usual manner, and a conflagration, the most tremendous ever witnessed in that city of fires, bloke out suddenly, and spread with so much violence, that it looked as if it bad sprung up at once from a hundred different places. This was in the morning of the 81st of August ; from that moment doubt and consternation prevailed, and the Sultan found himself in a most critical position. Notwith standing his personal: diens and those of the S:raskier to stop the progress of the flames, they gained ground on every side. All the troops were on foot, all the posts had been reinforced, but water was wanting; the people gave no aid, and a strong northern wind gave wings to the conflagration. The palace of the Grand Vizier was a heap of blazing ruins, and when the courier set off, clouds of fire rolled over the Seraglio, which was thrown open, however, as an asylum for all the autho rities, civil and military, who bad incurred popular odium through their zeal in favour of the new system. Several thousand houses were already reduced to-ashes, and it seemed evident that the conflagration would only cease when it would meet with no further objects to destroy ; for when quenched in one place, it broke out afresh in another. Many lives had already been lost, and the people cried out that it was a punishment inflicted by Heaven on account of the late innovations. In fact, astrologers had publicly announced that on the 27th day of the Moon (the day fixed for returning the Saudisk Motif to the Mosque) sweat altiOsgrAlibtij would break our, whicb would be followed by a pnpu lar reaction. Only the Writ part of this prophecy had _been realited at the departure of the courier, the next wit inform us whether any attempts were made to carry the second into effect. This will entirely depend on the firmness and activity displayed by the Sultan, and on the fidelity of the new military force with which he has surrounded himself. With respect to firmness, be has given ample proof that he possesses that virtue in a' transcendent degree. BY EXPRESS: FURTHER , PARTICULARS, FROM THE ETOILE OF YkS• TERDAY, RECEIVED BY EXPRESS THIS AFTERNOON. From the Austrian Observer we have the following from Constantinople, of the 31st August 4 1 Tnis day was destined for the solemn reestablish ment on the Mosque of the standard of the Prophet, planted for these three months in the Court of the Se raglio, but unfortunately it was interrupted by a fire which accidentally took place at a baker's shop near the Baghdoche•Napoussi (garden gate), and extended with such fury, that all assistance proved in vain, and a great part of the town, from the port to the Mosque of the Sultan's Amurat and Bdjasid, to the sea of Mar mara, with a number of grand Palaces and Markets, fell a prey to the flames. The Sultan caused the gates of the Seraglio to be thrown open, to receive the unfor tunate people. All the Ministers, the Vizier, and the Seraskier at their bead, did everything in their power to give assistance. All the troops were under arms, and it is assured that great order prevailed. At twelve o'clock at night they had not succeeded in extinguish ing the fire on all points." The Porte received on the 25th several Tartars from the Camp of REDSCHID PACHA, with an account of the taking of Athens, which took place on the 15th August, after an obstinate resistance from the Garrison, which were most part massacred. GnURAS is shut up in Acropolis, which is well provided with provisions for a long time. The Porte attaches but little im portance to the taking of Athens, but more so to the submission of thirty-two villages of Attica, who have sent Deputies to the SERASKIER, and engaged to re main peaceable. The Jamaica Papers of the Bth August have arrived. By accounts from Guatemala, we learn that political parties were beginning to exercise the most baneful in fluen:e among the Ministry in the Congress. The dis cussions appear more like a trial of strength between the contending parties, than a wish to get through public business. A motion was brought forward to implicate the President, but did not meet with support. A skirmish had taken place between the troops of Go vernment and the Militia, in which some lives were loat. This appears to have cooled the ardour of the partizans far the present. Bogota Papers to the 7th July have been received at the North and South American Coffee Hause. The following are extracts: " SIMON BOLIVAR. LIBERATOR, PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC. ." Mort MimicrySlß, " I congratulate myself and Colombia on the assem bly of the General Congress, which the people looked for to complete the improvements of their administration, and to supply their legislative wants. I feel the greatest pleasure in announcing to the Congress, that perfidious Paste has again acknowledged the tutelary laws of Colombia—that the departments of the South are in' ' perfect tranquillity, and extremely attached to the sacred law, which has given existence to the glorious Republic of Colombia. The Liberating Army of the South prosents, through me, to the General Con gress, the glorious laurels which it has gathered in the field of battle of YAguacbi, Rembena, Riobamba, Pi. chincha, and Pasto. On my part, faithful to my oath to obey the fundamental law of the Republic, I reiterate a second time to the Legislature of Colombia my first promise, to die sword in hand at the head of the Army of Colombia, before I will allow the bond of union to be trampled on, which has presented to the world a nation composed of Venezuela and New Grenada. The Con stitution of Colombia is sacred for ten years : it shall not be violated with impunity, so long as blood runs in my veins, and the Liberators are under my command. Your Excellency will be good enough to transmit to the Congress these sentiments of attachment to the Constitution. et BOLIVAR. " Head,quarters, at Tulean, December 31,1822." FROM THE BOGOTA PAPERS OF JULY 6. Communications have been received from the depart menu of Maturin, Zali, and Oronoco, which from the nature of their contents, are deserving the attention of the public, at a moment when the events of the 30th April in Valencia, and what has subsequently taken place in several towns of the provinces of the Caraccas and Carabobo. The gallant General Bermudez, Com mandant General of the department of Maturin, in forms *the Secretary of State for the War Department, in a despatch from Barcelona, dated I I th May, of what had occurred at Valencia on the 30th April, and ob serves :—" I promise to the Government to act in these circumstances, with all the activity and prudence which such a state of things demands, to defend the Oronoco, in case any attempts should be made on its fidelity, and to do everything in the power of the armed force under my command, towards reducing to obedience those evil spirits who wish to introduce moments of sorrow at the most prosperous period of the Republic." PUBLIC CREDIT. The Intendant General of Guyaquil has given official notice of having remitted to Panama, in a vessel of war, forty-four thousand dollars, the amount of the fourth part of the It venue of Customs destined by the Executive lot the payment of the interest of the foreign debt. He is the only one of the Intendants of the maritime department who has hitherto punctually tom. plied with the orders of Government. Frankfort Papers to the tOth have been received, from which we take the following paragraphs i ROME, &Mama t. One of the finest monuments of modern architecture has, in con. sequence of the misfortunes of the times, suffered extremely kepi being exposed to all the effects of the elements. This monument, equally dear to Religion and to Art, is the famous little Temple of Bramante, which Ferdinand V. of Austria, Ring of Spain, caused to be erected in 1500, on the spot where the Prince of the Apostles was crucificd.—lt was reserved for another Prince of the same Imperial House, to secure that monument from further injury, and tb restore It to its pristine splendour. His imperial Highness the Archduke Rainier, Prime Archbishop of Olimutx, Incumbent of the Church of St. Peter in Montorlo, in the district of which that Tethple stands, being informed of its dilapidated state, placed loco crowns In the Lands of Cardinal Galeffi to repair it, which has now been data ItIiJNICH, Sitrnmsat 16.

Despatches from the East Indies were brought yes terday to the Admiralty by Cointhander SMITH, of his Majesty's sloop ARACHNE. They are from Commodore Sir JAMES BRISBANE. who commands on the Indian station, and their contents, as far as they relate to, the operations of theaquadron against the Rtirthese, have ' already been anticipated by previous arrivAls. Sir J. BatsßANat, though still very unwell, sailed in the Boa.. =EA on the 23d March from Penang, for the purpose of resuming the command of the squadron employed at Rangoon ; but hearing, on his arrival off that place, that peace had been made, the Commodore proceeded direct Ro Madras, where he arrived on the 2Sd April. His ,health was still suffering much from the effects of the intermittent fever with which he was attacked, whilst commanding the flotilla in the Irawaddy. 'The same vessel also brought a Copy of the Treaty of Peace ; and Calcutta Papers to the beginning of May, from which we have extracted and given in another part of our columns, a very interest.. log despatch from Sir AROUSAL!) CAMPBELL. detailing the parties lars of the great and regular battle fought with the Burmese, at a few days' distance from their capital, and with such triumphant results on our part, as to bring down the pride of their Monarch, and lead to the immediate conclusion of peace. Our Readers will also find the thanks of the Governor General to the armies so glo riously engaged in the Kingdom of Ava, and at Bhurtpore, as well as the particular acknowledgments of Lord Columnar, for the zeal and gallantry displayed by the troops under his command in the reduction of that important fortress. We have received New Yolk Papers to the 22d inst. The Congress at Panama, was organised on the 22d of June, and was addressed by Don MANLTEL Losuizo DI VIDA 1111; Plenipoten tiary from the Republic of Peru, as to the subjects which should occupy the deliberations of the Congresi.

Joss Dr LA MAR, at the battle of Ayacucho. Intelligence was received at Philadelphia, from Monne Video, of another action having taken place between the Brazilians and the Buenos Ayreans, in sight of the walls if that city, in which the former are said to have lost six hundred, killed and wounded, and upwards of three hundred made prisoners. _ It is mentioned in these papers, that BOLIVAR returned to Bogota, na the 27th June. Dutch Papers to the 28th instant. have been received. The damage done by the explosion at Ostend was estimated at three millions of francs. Had the garrison been performing its exercise as usual at the time, but few of the individuals composing it would have escaped with their lives. Fortunately for them these exercises had been suspended for a few days in consequence of the prevailing fevers. Accounts from Batavia to the end of May in these Papers, relate some advantages gained over the Rebels. Sir HRNRY HALFORD, Mr. MACGREGOR, and Mr. Scursow, visited the Duke of Your yesterday, at the residence of the Doke of Rort.,tso, in Arlington-street. His Royal Highness transacted official business with his Military Secretiry, and also with Sir HENRY TORRENS, Adjutant• General The Duet of RUTLAND, by the special invitation of the Kim, was to have dined at the Cottage on Wednesday last ; but, owing to the pressing entreaty of the Duke of Yoax, his Grace sent an apology. It is supposed that this circumstances brought the KING to town. Despatches were received, yesterday, at the Colonial 1 Department, from Lieutenant General the Hon. Sir G. L. Cots, 'at the Mauridus. Mr. Under Secretary HAT left town, yesterday, on a visit to Earl BATHURST, at Cirencester. Mr. &true KING, late Minister of the United States in this country, arrived at New York on the 17th nit. Sunday, as Lady ELLExeottonou was proceeding from her residence at Putney on a visit to town, the horse took fright , and threw her Ladyship on the road nearly opposite Bromp ton Crescent. A Gentleman who witnessed the accident, imme diately hastened to her assistance, and conducted her into a house opposite: Her Ladyship received no material injury. Wednesday night, as Lord YA RSOROUNNI was going from Cowes to his seat at Appuldercombe, his carriage, in going down Bunny-hill, the entrance of Newport, upset. Ins Lordship and his eldest son, the Hon. Cm:Laces PELHAM, and Mr. Btu., the surgeon of his yacht, were the inmates: the two former, we are happy to say, were only slightly bruised; the only unfortunate sufferer was the Doctor, whose collar bone was dislocated and his arm broken. This accident was occasioned by the ,neglect if those employed in lowering the hill, and widening the entrance of the town, where a hole was left, and no light or other precautionary steps taken. This is the second accident which has taken place. A sad spectacle was.exhibited this day in the West end of the town. Three Spitalfields weavers, one bear ing an emblem of their profession, covered with black - crape, and the others following funereal-like, as mourn• ers, excited the kindest sympathies of the passing crowd. - DUBLIN, SE/TOMER 26.—A case of combination has come before the Lord Mayor, which proves the ex tensive nature of these societies. Mr. Carolaa, a car• penter, having refused to comply with the demands of his journeymen, they left their work, and Mr. C. pro ceeded to Glasgow and engaged others in their place. No sooner had they arrived in Dublin than their lives were threatened, and they ultimately demanded their tools. This was refused, and they were unable to return home. They now summoned 'Mr. C. for a week's wages. It appeared, however, that they had been treated by the combinators, and supplied with necessaries. The Lord Mayor strongly advised the men to go to work; and was disposed to postpone the business, in order to enable the workmen to come to an understanding with Mr. Carolan ; but being pressed for a decision, he said lie would dismiss the complaint, as it was not clear to him but the men had entered into the combination of the city carpenters. The case was then dismissed, and the parties left the Mansion-house, threatening further proceedings. I 'I
