The volcano of Oetield Jokkel, Iceland, which, since its first eruption, had remained quiet fur half a year, broke out again with great violence on the 1 26th of June, and has dime great damage to the surrounding country, by the vast quantity of ashes which it has cast up.

A Royal Cabinet Order has been published, in which his Majesty states, that on the late marriage of his daughter, the Princess Alexanthina, he had resolved, as on the marriage of his daughter, the Princes; Charlotte, and his niece' the Princess Frederica, to excuse his subjects from the payment of the contribution called the Princess Tax, usual on the marriage of Prussian Princesses; but that his Majesty does this as a favour, without any obligation ter the future, or detracting from the rights of his successors on the throne, in the gracious confidence that his subjects will graciously I saku t sse• ledge this mark of his paternal kindness. OGESSI, JULY 25.—1 t is reported that the Russ sian ships in the Black Sea, 14 ships strong, is to be armed at Sebostopul. God forbid that we should make it believed that this ii the commencement of hostilities, but perhaps there is a plan of intimidating the forks when they shall have recovered the panic which the death of the Captain Paclia has caused them, to obtain at least sum: of the conditions of the lass Ultimatum. It is only to be feared that this demonstration will have us little effect upon the forks as those that have been previously made. It is said that a garrison of 3,000 Turks will re. main in the principality, after the arrival of the Hospodars. It appears that, considering the eircum statices, the Porte has determined on this measure, contrary to the treaty of Bucharest. The news from Bucharest say, that only 1.200 Turks will remain in that principality after the ar rival of the Hospodar. There are still some vie. lages Wined in the neighbourhood of Jassy. !:" The department of the Lower Rhine has been for the last h ur months afflicted with a scourge, which has thrown the inhabitants into the utmuat conster nation, and reduced them to a situation truly de. plorable. Ihe sufferings of this district have arisen from the incredible ravages of mice. The arron dissements of Severn and Striumurgh have been must exposed to their depredat.ons These destructive animals have multiplied there to such a degree, that in the district of Severn 1,570,000 have been taken in a fortnight, and nearly as many have perished in their holey. The crops hots been nearly dertroyed in many communes, and the potatoes, the last re source of cultivators, are now atti.eked and threat. ened with destruction. What the mice have spared has been carried away by hail storms. On the Yid a dteadtul storm barat over the town and environs of Strasburgh, especially over the districts of Nlis. rienheim anti Dappigheim, where ilte crops were almost entilely destroyed, and the low estimated at 500,000 francs. - • ~k An order was received e the Victualling-on* at Chatham on Saturday for a reduction of that estab. lislonetit.

PARIS, Attu 21.—1 n a circular lately adt::essed by the Minister of the Interior to the Prefects, it is said that individuals whose conduct is very repre hensible, and whose morals and opinions are as blume4ble as dangerous, assume the character of pri mary teachers, without havine obtained a warrant of capacity (brevet de capacile), or a special autho rization to establish themselves in a particular com mune ; that it has even happened that men have assumed this title who have been stigmatised by the tribunals, and condemned to infamous punishments. The Committees of Cantons are requested to get the necessary intUrmation on this subject, and to order the shutting up of schools formed by these indivi duals. BAYON NE, Act. 13.—The post from Madrid was stopped on Sunday evening by the factious, at Sa linas, two leagues from Vittoria, so that we have . pu news from *e provinces beyond the Lbro. Thum from Biscay inform us, that the Pastor is daily en• gaged with the different bands in that country, which continue to increase; they add, that the no mination of the new ministry, and that of Mina to the unumand of Navarre and Biscay, has given great satisfaction. With respect to Navarre, we learn the complete defeat of a detachment of the constitutional troops, eighty in number, near Pampeluna. The Defenders of the Faith uaily increase, and orr,•anise their force in the mountains; their Guerillas harass the constitutional troops, and have even succeeded in raising the district of Sanguesa, on the frontiers of Arragon. In short, if the constitutional troops do not receit•e prompt succour, this province will become a second Catalonia. If we may believe the accounts from Arragon, and those from Catalonia, brought by the post front Oleron this day, the Royalists are almost wholly musters of the last province, which has just esta blished at Urgel its Provisional aivernments, of which the Marquess of Mata Florida is President. The Ainpuradatt, or more properly speaking, the district of Gerona, had almost entirely risen en mane; and that place, as well as Figueiras, was seriously thrtatened by the Royalists. The district of Barcelona was also beginning to take part in the revolt. The districts of Campredon and Manresa were not in a more satisfactory state. o,ot, Boidelus, Man resit, slid Bergs, were engaged in a continued strug gle with the Royalists. We do not ►peak of Puicerda, where a levy en masse has taken place. It is well known that that place, Belver and Urel, are in the hands of the insurgents, and that Organja is un able to resist. In short, the situation ut the consti tutionalists in Catalonia was such, that on the 4th of this month they were not only deprived of com munication with MArid, but even the commandants of the several districts could not correspond with each other, on account of the num4er of the Gue rillas, who are now more considerable than in the lust %cur with the French BRUSSELS, AUG 1 9. -:f we may believe a letter from Vienna, of a very recent date, an express front Constantinople has brought news of the highest im portance, which is said to authorise an expectation of approaching events in turkey, which will wholly change the Mee of affairs.
