tISENACH, SEPT. 3. The-Jay before yesterday a calamitous event tool' place here. About nine in the evening, a convoy of ammunition was passing through our town. The three first waggons, which were mostly laden with cartridifes for cannon, took fire ; the explosion ,was terribl,,. the adjoining houses were blown into the air with dreadful crash. The fire caught both sides of t he street called the Monnengasse, which was wholly deoroyed. Thirty-eight person' hive perished. for tunately the rest of the convoy was moved back in time to prevent the spreading of the explosion.. PEST, AUGUST 19. Letters from Constantinople say, that the Grand Seignior has caused a manifesto to be read in all the mosques and tribunals. He has expedited it by couriers throughout all the provinces of the Empire. lie speaks in it as the Calif of the Great Prophet and ,presentative upon earth. The green flag of Maho met flies upon the Seraglio. Tlt^ army to be assem bled to assist the Grand Vizier will, it is said, consist of 200.000 men ; the rendezvous is to be ar Adriano ple. The departure of his Highnesi is fixed for the latter end of the next moon. His Greek, Armenian, and Jewish subjects, are immediately to pay a war contribution of 5,000,000 of piastres, and every faith. ful Mahometan will give as much as he is able. The Mufti, and many others, have furnished considerable sums. It is said that this enthusiasm has communi cated itself to the lower classes, and that never was so much order witnessed. We trust that the Grand Vizier will be able to maintain himself in the camp of Schnonla till the ar rival of the succours. PORTVG4L. PRIVATE LETTER.-ABRANTES, AUGUST 27. is Are have had several skirmishes with the cavalry of Regnier, in which we have been uniformly success ful. The Portuguese have improved in their Govern rent and in their army. In the latter, both in disci pline and numbers, almost every battalion is comman ded by British Lieutenant Colonels, and Majors. , g Some arrests in Lisbon have lately taken place, And in that city the cry is not so much, ' Long live the Prince Regent,' as Long live King Geotge and the English nation.' " We have met with no opposition but from the :kb ; 0)e docility of the poorer classes has been ex emplar?, and much beyond any praise. The soldiers have improved much faster than their officers. The desertions from the enemy are constant, and are nim'lst to an incredible extent. We have ocular demonstration of the bad condition of his cavalry.— We dread the inclemency of the season is the next month." THE EVENING STAR. LONDON. WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 19.

The official details of the fall of Almeida, and of Captain WHITE'S gallant affair with the patrole of dragoons belonging to the enemy, were published in the Gazeue of last night. They do not differ from the accounts that have already been laid before our Readers. We have also this day given the enemy's narrative of the siege of Almeida, copied from Paris. Papers to the 15th instant, received last night. MAssitNA admits that the fall of the place was hastened by the blowing up of the principal magazine. "I'" , An article, dated Scala, gives a swaggering aC eount of an action between the French and English gun-boats in the Strait; of Messina, the moult of which is, that the enemy's troops on the toast are so exhi lirated by their countrymen's display of ralour by sea, that they cry out 44 For Sicily, for Sicily." But the al:surdity of this is, that the engagement in question dil not take place till about a month after the capture cif the Amanthea convoy, which MURAT 211 edges as an excuse for his not attempting the inva sion of Sicily. This morning we received Dutch papers to the 17th instant, from which we present our readers with the following extracts : They chiefly relate to the hostilities which are now going on in full activity be tween the Turks and Russians. LEERWARDEN, SEPTEMBER 9. On Thursday law, at six °clock in the evening, the National Guard solemnly took the oath of fidelity and obedience to his Majesty the Emperor and King, in the square before the hotel of this town, before M. Pfats Withender, performing the functions of Burgo master, accompanied by the Secretary Hamirster. FRANKFORT, SEPTEMBER 9. Intelligence from the frontiers of Turkey of the date of the 16th August, states as follows : Accord ingt6 the ardir which the Russian General in chief, Count Minsky, has addressed to the army before Schumia, the corps of General Langeron marched on the 9th August, to the camp before Rudsehuck, to reinforce the..trithis efiriting on the siege of that place.

NAPLES. Royal Camp, Piale, August ort the 16th instant, a strong wind from• the S. E. caused the enemy a loss of four gun-boats, obliged the other gun-boats of his line of anchorage to return to Messina and the north of Pharo, as well as a cor vette and brig. We were fully persuaded that it would he impossi blefor him to remain in the canal during the first equi noxial gale, but the English did not wait for that epoch before they endeavoured to place themselves in safety, and to-day the Admiral's ship, a frigate, and a corvette, who have remained at anchor about two months, to the north-west of Pharo, set sail, taking advantage of the wind and current to enter the canal and proceed towards Messina. As soon as the ship was within range of our bat teries, they opened their fire upon her ; the two first shots struck her towards the stern, by the water mark, and the fifth carried away the flag.— Then the Admiral keeping as close as possble to the Sicilian side, in order to get as distant as possible from our batteries, fired a broadside from her lower guns, which answered no other purpose than that of covering the entrance of Messina, where he cast an chor, with smoke. The frigate and corvette kept up a continual fire an along the canal. We-reckon that these three ves sels received at least 25 balls, whilst the 1000 whit% they fired against our line of anchorage, did not touch a boat, nor wound a single man. It is stated in the German Papers, under the head Austria, that a Treaty had been concluded between the Courts of Vienna and France, in which it is sti pulated that Austria shall be indemnified on another side for all that she has lost. We shall not be sur prised if this indetnnification were, in the course of a short time, to be carried out of the Russian territories. The late King of SWEDEN, after having travelled over Saxony, suddenly directed his route to Herren hut, where he resided at the latter end of last month.

Vicrott HUGHES was lately' tried at Paris for the surrender of Cayenne to the Anglo-Portugnese forces ; it was alledged that he had capitulated in order to save his own plantations and property. He was de clared to be Not Guilty, and was forthwith set at liberty, and restored to his functions. By the latest accounts from India we learn, that the Javanese are threatening a general insurrection : apinst their Dutch masters. An attempt has several ores been made to assassinate General DAENDELS, who is very desirous nf resigning his situation. Friday next, being St. Matthew's day, according to annual custom the LORD MAYOR, Aldermen, She riffs, and Governors of the several Royal Hospitals, will attend Divine Service at Christ's Church.

They have determined to comply with the demands of the public, and to fulfil the 0. P. contract immediately, by opening four private boxes on each side. For the purpose of making the necessary preparations to complete this arrangement, the, Theatre is to continue closed till Monday, when the public are promised to be admit , ted to the private boxes abovementioned in the same manner as to the other boxes. It was abundantly evident that the town would not be satisfied unless the contract was literally fulfilled ; and the proprietors have acted wisely in not attempting to prolong a con test which, on their part, was hopeless. The interval till Monday, is, we are informed, to be employed in throwing open the eight boxes, in a complete man ner, so that there may be no ground for further ob jection. We trust, therefore, that this being done, we shall have the pleasing task of recording the restora• tioa of peace and harmony to this Theatre on Monday. .Msipor, the father of the English stage, was among S o • e atC .G oventaiden Theatre on Monday *We ' the whole of the Row.

The 92d Regiment, tinder orders for the same destination, wait the arrival in the Downs of the troop ships from Chatham. Monday morning the company of Dover Volun teer Artillery, commanded by Captain Moot?, were inspected in Archeliffe Fort by Lieutenant-Colonel EBB; after the inspection they proceeded to fire 20 rounds at a small boat, anchored in the Roads about a mile from the Fort, the whole of the shots thrown Were excellent, some of which, having hit the boat, caused her to sink :it the conclusion of the last round. The Lieutenant. Colonel expressed himself highly pleased with their exact method of firing, and also with their steady appearance under arms. The new tnethod of fitting tip the old men of war for the cinveyance of troops must give universal sa tisfaction to the Army, and -be of infinite benefit to the service, as the soldiers will now be in a fitter hate for duty immediately on landing, after a voyage of twelve months, than under the old system after one of= as many days.
