On the 4th inst. at a quarter to 7 o'cbek in the morning, a hind explosion was heard. It was stun announced that the Lisle gate, under which was a powder magazine, was on tire. Alarm in stantly became general, the inhabitants precipitately flying in all quarters to avoid the danger. The gar mustervd under :inns, and the mayor and his assistant (M. I /Maus) and the sub-prefect of Donav, repaired to the spot without delay, snd, by their presence. contributed to maintain order. Some Limbs and grenades explod►d from time to time.— About eleven o'clock the tour towers of the gate. in which were a considerable quantity of arms, gave way. Happily, the flames had not penetrated to , the subterranean magazine; from whence at this perilous moment, some powder was taken out anti conveyed to the citadel. At the hour at which I write this the danger is over, but not the alarm One man only has been killed : it is thonght the deceased is the individual who imprudently caused Mae fire. A thousand conjectures are advanced on thi.i point, The toss is immense. The lead, iron, and brass, formed a frightful torrent of burning lava. Of this immense edifice, there only remain the walls, which are expected to full every instant. Thus a monument or the 14th century, which has resisted several memorable sieges, has fallen in a tew hours!

Insurrections against the Turks have br.ien out in various parts of Asia-Minor, which appear to be ecnnected with the hostile oc emit:owes in the M,'rea. They have not been without much alarm at Smyrna for the safety of several establishments, as very tumultuous scenes have twice tideer place. It is even affirmed that ainfliets occurred in some of ;he principal streets of that extensive eit; but the details arc not ven. i also sai d . that very serious disorders have taken place in the island of Cyprus, the inha bitants t f which have hitherto been remarkable for Lair fidelity to the Ottoman Porte.

THE N %1•IONAL REGISTER TRUST E, MAY 28.—Intelligence from Smyrna states that several insurrections, which are in con nexion with the events in the Greek islands have broken out against the Turks on the coast of Asia Minor. Apprehensions are entertained for several of the establishments at Smyrna, since there have been, it is raid, two revolts already, and some bloodshed in that city. Some disturbances have also taken place in the island of Cyprus, which hitherto has been faithful to the Turkish govern ment. We are assured that two offieers of great ability direct the military operations of the Greeks in the Morea. According to a letter from Corfu, several English have entered the Greek ranks with enthusiasm. The junction of the Arnauts with the Greeks is confirmed ; the Pacha of the Morea in consequence hoses the greatest part of his army. MADRID, MAY 28 —An amnesty is spoken of for those condemned on account of the revolt at Alva, and other provinces, where the insurrection broke out before the passing of the new law against infractions of the constitution. The tribunals of Saragossa have given jildgment on the persons guilty of sedition on the 1 4th May, 18:20. An ecclesiastic has been sentenced to two years' seclusion in a convent ; a labourer to death ; and three other persons to three years in the galleys. M. Sacurino, lieutenant of a Neapolitan vessel, wrote to the Cortes that he had entered the port of Barcelona with a ship of war, armed with twelve pieces of artillery, and filled with emigrants, He offered his vessel to the nation: The crew and its leader offered their services to Spain, This petition gave rise to some discussion. The Cones declared that they had heard the sentiments of the petitioners with satistetion, A new troop of Guerillas :lave shewn themselves at the gates of Espinosa. Some companies have been sent against them. VieNva, MAY 27.—1 t has been asserted during several ;Lys past, that a Diplomatic Congress will be formed in this capital, to deliberate upon the al fails of Turkey. Intelligence from Lemberg, dated the 213 d May, states:---General movements of the troops have taken place in the Southern Provinces of the Rus sian empire. The regiments of the Imperial Guard arrived at %Vitepski on the Bth and following; days. The Polish army has also received orders to hold itself in rea.iiness to march. It is thought its des tination is for the frontiers of Moldavia. NAPLES, MAY 22.---On the 20th it t. the King went, in grand state, to the Church Del Camino Maggiore, to °Him thanks to the Most High, for his happy return. The people united their prayers to those of the Monarch ; and, with an imatiinous Nuke, prayed licaveo to preserve the august dy. nasty of the Bourbons. LILLE, JUNE 3.—At a moment when all the powers ot• the north of Ei.rope have fiirmidablis armies on flea, and which are even unproportioned to the population and their revenue. Fiance has not an army which she can chew with confidence either to her friends or to her enemies ; it i• even doubtful whether it will be complete on the peace establishment by the end of the year. The only corps which have attained their full complimeqt are, the Royal Guard, the Swiss regiments, ~ irn. ing together a total of 10,000 men, mid the legion of the Prince of tlohenloe, composed of 2,400 men ; all the corps of the army, artillery, cavalry, and infantry, are very far from being on the footing fixed by the ordinances. • Since the events of the month of August last, many utbaTs who were in active service have been placed on half-pay, and a great number of subal terns, the term of whose service was expired, have asked their discharge. The levy of 40,000 men, whieh is now ving on, is ihdeed to serve to fill up the regiments, but they are young soldiers, which it would take some time to form. In general most of the old soldiers accustomed to make war in the north and south of Europe, cannot accustom them selves to the state of repose which they enjoy ; the militiny spirit which gave birth to so many heroic actions subsides but slowly. The rich dotations, the military decorations, the rapid promotions which took place when the army was decimated every year, all this exists no longer, and cannot return., A garrison life appears dud to those old soldiers who have been accustomed to traverse Europe, to treat with all rigour of the right of conquests, and to enrich thtinselves at the expence of the u; o fortunate ' lnhabitants. Some officers huge gone to join the insurgclit Greeks, but the number of those is in onsfkrable : the y is long, their future • piospett unceitain, and most of them are destitute of the mcaLs lie cis.ary toga th Turkey. AVCSBCI G, MAJ . '2B.—A part of the Sercians are la last 111 .1110, Silile of their chiefs are at their brad ; they are those whose lives were in danger, and who nem to have been beheaded at Belgrade, whither claw were invited to repair. ...a The fact, however, is, that there has been no hostip lities between the Servians and the Tusks who are stationed in the fortresses of that country. The insurrection which was said to have broken out in Bulgaria is of no consequence. There are besides so many ottoman troops in that province, thAt it would be impo►sible for the Greeks to make the slightest Attempt. The inhabitants of a few villages have tied into the mountains, because they fear the vengeance of the Turks. FROM THE BANKS 0/ TEE DANUPE, MAT 21 The Bache of the Mores has applied to the English government of the lonian islands, complaining in the strongest terms that ammunition of all kinds, and even cannon, has been sent to the rebels. He has threatened to employ the most rigorous me . sures against the English commerce, and to mill,. cate the property of the English in his power, katiltts proceedings so hostile are put an end to. It is al firmed that the Pacha has shu t a circumstantial m.- ematat to Coastantinople. It is in consequence of these remonstrances that injunctions were issued, not only to the inhabitants of the lonian islands, but to all lonians inhabiting Turkey, not to take any part, or to favour in any manner, any insurrection against the Ottoman Porte ; all under threads of some penalties. It is believed, • however, that this order will be es,.. cutest. DARMSTADT, Jums 2.—The negmiations establishing u commercial alliance in tie south of Germany continue. The ministers and plenipoten. tiaries of the states who propose to form this lance had their seventh sitting on the 28th May. Kair 29.—Our fair, which is now finished, may be called a tolerably good Jilin There were not many Greeks; but the merchants from Brody and some Russians made large purchases of silks and other expensive articles. The English had, on the whole, a good flair, though some sold large quantities of goods very cheap. The wool fair is now begun. Fine wool, being employed in so many articles of an expensive nature, maintains last year's prices. The stone (.221b.) has been sold hitherto at 84 to 40 rix d, Bars. 3liudling wool is the cheapest in proportion Coarse wool maintains its price. Accounts from FrankfUrt to the s2d inst. state, that according to the letters received there from tl.e frontiers of Turkey, great exertions were beginning to be made to finrtify the weaker points of Constan tinople, and that all the troops composing the gar rison of that capital were employed on the works.— fhe strongest place. it is added of the Akprea, is that of Napoli, called Malvoisin, whence tt.e wine of the neighlsoirtaiod takes the name of Malvoisin, and it is how besieged by a fleet, the Admiral of which is a Greek heroine. She is called Wablina. Her husband, who was Captain of a ves-1, was killed some time ago by the Turks ; five of her :aims were also massacred by the inhabitants. Among the Greek squadron there are seven vessels, the property of this lady. She has signified to the Turks Oat the persons who summons them is a Grecian, and that bile was animated with generous sentiments; that iu case of submission, she would guarantee to them their lives ; but if they were obstinate in making resistance, she would put them all to the sword l This appears to be the same Amazon of whom we had befiire some accounts. Papers tram New York to the 19:h ultimo, have arrived. Advices from St. I)omingo to the cud of April had been received at New York. Ihe presi dent, Buyer, is establishing hilustlf• limey in hi.; late acquisition, the territory of his rival Christoplie, and giving the best proof of his really possessimr power by his magnanimity to those who oppose him. General Itomain, one of the leaders of Car - toplic, having been impeached by the rest of the officers, for attempting to corrupt some of the regt. meats, was sentenced to banishment only. The sentence, however, gave rise to a mutiny in two of the regiments; but it was suppressed almost im mediately. The ringleaders of the mutiny were brought to trial, and found guilty; but the puttisi.- tnent of death was inflicted on very few of them.— An order of the day was issued, erasing the names of those regiments titan the list of his army.
