DESTRUCTION OF THE TUNISIAN FLEET. To the account given in a letter from Turin of the destruction of tire Tenisian fleet by a storm, we have to add the follosting particulars which appear is a letter dated Tunki, Feb. 24 " Ir•had been ions slbce resolved it the Council of the Bey { that a strong Squadron should be ready at the beginning of Spruillto sail from the port of the Goletia, to cruise in th : Mediterraneatt, and to plun der the Christian vessels which might fall in its way. Nothing had been neglected that could ensure the suc cess of this formidsble enterprise. The squadron con sisted of nine vessels, well equipped, and provided with every necessary, and with numerous well-disciplined crowd. The brass cannon (not to mention those of irate) amounted to :.SO9. The sth of this mouth all the ves sels were assembled in the harbour of the Goletta ; the 6th was fiXed for putting to sea. The Bey, already de vouring in imagination the riches of Christendom, set out from the Bardo (the name of the Bey', palace), and beheld with barbarous pleasure the various manceuvres„ which the squadron perfored in his presence. This review being ended, the vessels received orders to sail the following day. But in the night between the sth and 6th, a violent tramontane wind Suddenly closed the mouth of the harbour, and ittereasing in violence and fury during the 6th, 7th, and Bth, raised the waves of the sea, and sunk and destroyed that formidable flotilla. The tremendous tempest did not leave any time to guard against it ; all the mariners, crews, and soldiers perisned ; and, on the gth, the sea still agitated, chewed to the astonished spectators the broken malls and sails, and the floating corpses, as 'minnow's!' of its fury. The Bey saw the flower of h.s navy and army vanish before his eyes. Three thousand men were submerged in this dreadful hurricane. It seems that the storm discharged its greatest rage on the ships Of die barbarians t but the European vessels, however, mitered from it. Fortunate ly, all the crews and passengers ui the latter are saved, except four promo. whose !ate is not yet ascertained. , PARLIAMENTati PAPER. MADRID, APRIL s.—Very serious movements have taken place in the province of Burgos. A canon of Valencia (Merino), who in the late war against France commanded a division of 4000 men, and who obtained signal memos over the troops. of Buonsparte, has suddenly :tastes). Aphs that pro vince, at the head of an armed uusled has raised the standard of religion and the E The curate Villobiado, by a very masterly movement, went from Valencia to Arcanda.de-Duero, and there mustered veterans who formerly ed under him. Two days after his arrival he by above 100 young men : his emissaries era already ranging the various arrondissements of the province, parsi. cularly at Serie, where they Wide a general requi. sition of horses, This intelligence has 611dW great sensation at Burgos. The Commandant mediately despatched a messenger to Madtdde re quiring reinforcements, under the apprehension that the curate Villobiado would march upon that city (Burgos) to release the royalists who are immurred in the prisons, and amongst whom are some of his personal friends. No dependence whatever can be put upon the national guard of Burgos: tbe inha bitants have formally refused to do any maws duty. The military Commandant has taken such measures as were in his power to arrest the progress of the patriots, who have already shown themselves at the gates of the town. The ferment which this event has produced in the provinces contiguous to that of Burgos is indiscribable. A letter from Vera Clue, of the 10th December, gives an account of the Insurrection at St. Diego : " At seven in the evening Don Jose Manuel Gallo came to the governor.pneral of the province, and stated that on the 19th be bad set out from Puebla with Don Pedro Martinez, a priest, and that on the 30th they arrived at St. Diego, where they stopped at the house of Manuel Meleada ; that the Ail lowing evening they heard a great noise in the street, and live persons armed with knives, commanded by one Zabinp Crux, came to the house. Crus aimed the first blow at Martinez; but, on his crying out he was a priest, he check ed himself, and dragged Melondex into the street, and murdered him at his own door, his followers breaking out into acelama• lions, and humming for independence and their ge neral', Guadalupe Vittoria. While Sabina perpe trated this murder, the deponent learned that one Juan Moreno had surprised and murdered the com mander of the fort and his lieutenant. These in surgents passed the night in drinking and great Mowing. The next morning, however, at the instance of Martinez, they re leased him and Gallo, and gave them a paespart, signed by Crisantu Castro, who %emits commander of the insurgents. Neither the priest nor . Gallo was present at the murder of the eummandant and lieutenant, nur eaw their dead belles, When they left St. Diego, an the Slot, the tumult continued i but nu injury had Woo 44 40 to the inhabitants or to the troops, • The roverior inedietely took rims-lures to suppress the insurreetem, end detui.hed about three hundred men to fall upon the rebels at St. Diego, as promptly as pussible, and disperse them in all directions . All was cach e with great aetivity ; Rad on the approttell at the' troops to st. Diego, it was found that the insurgents bad fled from that place, having first set fire to all the houses. The inhabitants being obliged to take refuge in the barracks, their *citifies are ordered jw be eollceted and brought to this ?law." Amiss the sitting of the ad, the Cellos resolved, on the reoemmeo4atico of a committee appointed to examine the political situation of the tangtiorn, fl To thank the government lbr having rejected find disapproved the principle of interfenng with the internal affairs of nations, which several powers sem to a/1 44W.

The insurrection - was to have been general through the north at the same time. The vigilance of General Magny (the Governor of the Cape) and Gen. Marc, at St. Marc's, • prevented it from taking place, by arresting all the chief conspirators. Gen Richard and 2S others, who arrived at Port-au - Prince, arc under trial, anti will be shot. At Gonaives, the garrison and people of the neighbouring country took possession of the town, and made Gen. Tranick and all attached to his party fly to the vessels for safety. They have plundered all the town, of which they still keep possession ; but an overpowering force has been sent against them, sad they will be speedily reduced.— To form an idea of the most barbarous atrocities of the most bloody monster (Christoplic) that ever di,. g►aced the human furs; you should visit the nerd► as I did; see the miserable victims that escaped fruat his cells, hear their tales of' woe, and view their ema ciated and mutilated bodies. I went through his fionous citadel and palace of SON Saud. lit the former, on the highest bastion, I saw the body o f the measter ; it was slightly covered with lime and earth, which I caused to be partially removed he had been dead then six weeks, His cells were im provements on the celebrated black-hole at Calcutta. Men of the best ca.stitutions lost the use of their limbs in 414 boars, anti it was a miracle if they sus. vived the fourth day. It would take a ream of paper, and more time titan I can afford, to give you u faint idea of what the tnsfortunste people suitered who were under his iron yoke. The waste of human lives was incredible : and I hear from the best authority, that Ferrier aloao cast 50,000 lives, and that 80,000 more armtrally died of hunger and tatigue at the public works; hesideb.tily many thou• sands sacritioca in void blood, to gratify the thirst which the ruffian had tiir human bloisi,i) A .iottrtml of Rome annouacci that all inhabitant 1/"lagna, called has ttiacovorc,l the horistontal direction of aerostatics, which for so many ycara has been the iubject of phy.ical and mechanical i'l;o4:44Vli, and for the discovery of which thy Royal ,:ead •tuy of London boa proposed a prise of iO,OOOl tit Lein-4i. 1 ..wiml.•••lAb . :40 r "7 71 . .• *1 $ ' I , 4t.
