On Saturday, the Police Committee assembled at Guild hall, for the purpose of making police arrangements for the 9th of November, Sir P, LAnniE in the Chair. The Cti EMAN stated that the Lord Mayor had re ferred a letter which he had received relative to the tiring of guns in Fleet-street, in honour of the Queen, to the Committee. It was from Mr. Harding, the proprietor of Anderton's Coffee-house, in Fleet-street, and it stated that the gentlemen composing the Lumper Troop, - a Societe which held its meetings there, were desirous of honouring her Majesty as she passed in procession with a salute of their guns from the top of the building. This proposition the writer considered to be extremely objeetienable, inas much as the discharge would probably terrify the horses. The Chairman expressed surprise that so preposterous a project should enter the heads of any rational being, Several members stated that the City 7 - ••••V'eil n t r itt,trile;ed ;o procecil against anv part I, a fiat iire. i I Oa I+, ilielillll , lo. 11".

The workmen in the Guildhall are proceeding it their labours with rapidity. They have considerably enlarged the gallery over the Hall entrance, in conformity to the re quest of Sir George Smart, Oie musical manager, who re presentedthilt it was recessary to have the vocal and in. strumental performers in the same place. The gallery over the steps leadin; to the Council Chamber will be devoted to flags and other decorations. An absurd statement has been mode t"at seven thousand people could be accommo dated in the Hall at the entertainment. On the most crowded Lord Mayor's Day, when the greatest efforts have been made to accommodate the citizens, sitting, room was never afforded to more than a thousand, and many of these were obliged to be satisfied to dine in the old Court King's Bench, and other apartments about the building. We understand that upon the Queen's visit the number for whom seats are to be provided will not exceed seven hun dred and thirty. COURT CIRC ULAR.

PEMBROKESHIRE Fox HOUNDS. —These hounds are in ex cellent condition, and there is likely to be excellent sport this season, as the foxes are abundant in this county. On Thurs day, the 12th instant, they met at L.langwarren, and found directly in the moor. The fox crossed to Ileathfield, and after going round the house and plantations, went over the hill at a slapping pace, nearly to Letterstcne mountain, whence he took for Llanstenan bridge, where he turned to the left, and dashed over the hill in the direction of Manor Owen, followed by the hounds at full speed. Reynard, at this tithe fancying the bounds were getting on closer terms of intimacy than were agreeable, " sunk the wind," and went down to Jordanstone house, where he crossed the road, and pursued his course to his old quarters at Llangwarren. After visiting his former haunts around Llangwarren house, garden, and plantations, and being closely pressed, he one more faced the open country, running in virw of the pack, one hound being close at his brush, and by a desperate effort succeeded in again reaching the plantations at Hcathficld. Being now worn out, varmint began to run short, and with difficulty crawled dead beat into a rabbit's earth, whence be was in a short time got out and given to the hounds. This run lasted an hour and five minutes without a check, and for the greater part was very fast. —Cambrian. CENTLEktEN SPonsmEtc—The Magistrates at Stafford Lad lately two gentlemen sportsmen, Mr. Critchley and Mr. Lister, brought before them, charged with shooting and stealing a number of fowls, the property of a farmer, named Ecelekball, over whose lands they were shooting. It appeared that the sportsmen had bagged three of the fowls, and twelve other fowls were subsequently found killed under the straw of the fold yard. The sportsmen denied stoutly any intention of felony, but their mistake of fowls for pheasants was not ex plained. The Maalstrates refused to interfere in the matter. [What 1 because the parties were " sporting gentlemen," and not poor thieves ?]—Leamington Gazette.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE. After the comedy of She Stoops to Conquer, a new drama, entitled The Indian Gi, 1, was produced at this house on Saturday night. This production belongs strictly to the melo-dramatic class, and the scene is laid in a British settlement in America, where resides, under the name of Winthrop, Major Goffe (Mr. Cooper), one of the exiled Judges of the unfortunate King Charles. Ten years before the commencement of the drama, an incursion had been made on the plantation by the Red Indians, who had almost entirely destroyed it ; and, to crown a long catalogue of barbarities, had borne off a young child, the daughter of Major Goffe. Under this calamity he is still suffering in tensely when three Englishmen arrive, the one, Cloudesly, (Mr. J. S. Balls), in search of " the ideal ;" the other two, Langton and Nasehy, cavaliers, bearing a warrant for the ap prehension of the regicide, an,' anxious to secure the reward offered for his head. Their arrival is the first incident in the drama. The attack of the Indians and the fate of the girl are communicated incidentally to Cloudesly by her sister Rose Winthrop (Mrs. Ternan) and he determines accordingly to proceed to the woods, in the hope of discovering some traces of the lost one. Arrived there, he is seized by the Indians, who had been engaged in devising another mid night assault upon the settlement, and is on the point of being shot when a girl (Mademoiselle Celeste) whose com plexion betokens no current of Indian blood in her veins, rushes in, and by the exercise of the powerful authority which she appears to possess, saves his life. In his pre server Cloudesly instantly recognises the lost daughter of the exile. In the -meantime Reuben, the son of Captain Bradford, the Governor of the plantation, having over heard the secret counsels of the Indian chiefs, had, with a hotly of the settlers, surrounded their camp. The Indians are defeated, their chieftain is taken prisoner, and the " white girl," 'with her infant child, found in the camp, is led to the house of her father. In vain is every effort made to recal her to a recollection of things and persons formerly cherished in her memory and affections ; she cannot utter the words of her native tongue ; she sighs only to regain the li berty of the woods. At length, however, her sister, on the verge of despair, sings to her a song which had been the de light of her childhood. The sounds of her favourite air imme diately attract her attention ; sh;.- appears at first thought ful, then agitated ; ber'demeanour betokens the progress of violent mental conflict ; a thousand confused re collections seem to crowd upon her ; she gazes around, ex claims hysterically, "My father," and faints. In the next act, Narramattah (the Indian name of the girl) is reco vering rapidly her recollection of things long past, when the sight of the Indian chief whom she avows to be her hus band roan's all her Indian associations, but these are again dispelled, and, at a propitious moment, for the two cavaliers had designed to secure her father's person in a secret pas sage witAt led into the woods, and for that purpos:Yoffered her her liberty if she would bs: their guide. She appears to consent, but takes an opportunity to thrust one of them into a well, and, having secured the warrant in the posses sion of the other, seizes = rifle and shoots hint. Again the procession conducting the Indian to the scene of his punisb ment, passes before the eyes of the half-wild, half-civilized girl : hastily sbe lodotits it, and reaches the wood just as the fatal sbot•had been fired. The chieftain dies, and the heart of the Indian wife is broken ; but in that moment she for gets not entirely the affections of her childhood—she knows, those by whom she is surrounded ; she titters the words, " Father !" " Sister!" and falls down dead by the side of her husband. Such are the materials of the present pro duction ; and there is in their main feature a sufficient de gree of novelty to render them attractive ; but it is neces sary that they should be circumscribed within a narrower space. The music by Mr. Eliason does credit to his taste. The whole affair has been " got up" with considerable care, and will probably enjoy a more than ordinary share of success. The house,was respectably attended. BRUSSELS AND GERMAN PAPERS: BRUSSELS, OCT. 25.—Count Marquez de Lisboa Charge d'Affaires of Brazil, has been appointed Ambaf- . • sador at Washington.

AUGSBURG, OCT. 24.—We have just received from our correspondent at St. Petersburg, long extracts from two bulletins of General \Veljieminow, Commander-in-Chief of the detached corps of the Caucasus, to the Al:nister. of War, relative to the late successes of the Russian troops against the mountaineers of the Caucasus. They are chiefly concerning several wars and sanguinary actions in the neighbourhood of Aschilta, in which both parties fought with valour and obstinacy. The last combat, on the 28th of June, continued for twenty-four hours in tor rents of rain, and the Russian troops, though victors, were so fatigued that they were unable to pursue the flying enemy, and encamped near Aschilta. The castle of one of the Circassian chiefs, named.. Sclamil, situated two wersts above Aschilta, on the river Kors, was stormed, after the bravest resistance of the Circassians. In this combat as well as in the previous storming of Aschilta, the loss of the Russians in officers was considerable. In consequence of the success of the Russian arms, several districts have submitted and given hostages. ATHENS, OCT. 12.—1 have returned just before the departure of the mail from Napoli, where the King's fete was observed, as in the whole kingdom, in the most loyal manner.

From accounts which have reached us, it would appear that the cholera has again broken out in the eastern part of the metropolis, and that three persons have already fallen victims to its malignity. The circumstances connected with this alarming visitation are, as reported to the Board of Guardians of the Stepney Union, briefly as follow : On Wednesday evening last, four persons, two men and two children, who had previously enjoyed the hest health, were attacked suddenly with symptoms of cholera, and three of them died on the midnight of Thursday. The men's names were Green and 111. Carty, both " Itnpers,” %yolk ing in chins in the docks, ;and residing with their wive g and two children, each in e room, in Well-alley, Rope- Aker's-ticldF,.

"St R,—Several cases of reported cholera having occurred in Limehouse, I am directed by the Chairman to request the attendance of all the medical officers at Limehouse Workhouse, this afternoon, at three o'clock precisely, to examine and report upon the subject, and also to attend the Board at the Ratcliffe Workhouse, at eight o'clock in the evening precisely. " I am, Sir, your obedient servant, " W. BAKER, Jun., Cletk.". The surgeons accordingly met on Friday afternoon, and found that two of the deceased persons—a man, and a girl ten years of age 7 ,-had already been buried. The body of the child was, however, exhumed, and examined in the dead-house in the churchyard, and the examination of the still (at that time) living child, and the body of the unburied man, left no doubt upon the minds of the surgedns of there all being cases of Asiatic cholera. On Friday night the surgeons made their report to the Board of Guardians, specially convened at Ratcliffe Workhouse for that purpose, when• Mr. Young, M.P., took the chair. Mr. Heelis went into a very lengthened description of the examination of each case, and the Guardians, from the evident of the medical men, appeared to have no doubt as to the existence of the pestilential disease. A discussion then took place, and the advice of the surgeons was requested as to the best means of preventing its extension, and relieving the sufferers when attacked: Mr. Birtwhistle, one of the surgeons of the Union, said, on being applied to by the Gu.:rdians, that having seen much of the disease in India, he should say that it was ab solutely necessary that some place should Le taken as an hospital, so that the sufferers might receive proper atten dance, and that cleanliness be secured, which alone could prevent the extension of the disease. Work-houses, he observed, were not the proper places, in his opinion, to take persons to suffering under cases of cholera or fever, of in stances in latter of w hi c h th ere h a d l ong b een nu merous in which the surgeons had found much difficulty in treating their patient s p roper l y , f rom t h e o f ten d es titute condition of the sufferers, many of whom had been found sleeping on the bare floor. Indeed, such was often the miserable con dition of many of them, that nurses could not be procured to attend, even when high wages were offered. The workhouses would not admit such cases, and the absolute necessity of appropriating some building -for the reception of those of a mali gnan t nature was every d a y more apparen t. He theninstanced the advantages which had resulted to the hamlet of Mile-end Old Town, by the establishment of a cholera house in a field, on a f ormer v i s it a ti on o f th e c h o l era , i n proo f o f his position, and concluded by saying that the interests of humanity and the health of the district would, in his opinion, be best preserved by providing a proper place for the re ception of all cholera patients, and by the cleansing of the houses in which they had lived. The other medical officers of the Union corroborated Mr. Birtwhistle's statements as to the wants of the district in cases of fever, and expressed a similar opinion with regard to a cholera hospital. After some discussion it was unanimously agreed to ad dress Lord John Russell, the Home Secretary, acquainting him with the fact of the cholera having broken out in the district, and requesting his advice with respect to what steps may be necessary, both as regards the care of cholera patients, and the enforcing of cleanliness in the filthy streets and houses of the district. A report is current, but which we hope will be contra dicted, that a few days since the cholera broke out simul taneously on three decks of the Dr( adnouglit hospital ship, and that some deaths have occurred. DESTRUCTION OF THE COLONIST WEST INDIANIAN BY FIRE. (From the Hampshire Telegraph.) The ship Colonist, Captain Smith, of 443 tons, belonging to Messrs. Thomas Daniells and Co., from London to Bar babes, with a general cargo (pi hoard, and eighteen pas sengers, had reached as far as St. Catherine's Point on Thursday, - when the westerly winds compelled her to bear up, and she anchored that evening at the Mother bank. On ' Friday morning, at eight o'clock, it blowing nearly a gale, sh e :truck top-gallant-masts and yards, and was about to pay out an additional scope of chain cable, when smoke was observed to be issuing up the main hatchway ; an immedi ate examination was made, and water poured down, under the direction of the mate, but who speedily was compelled from increased heat and smoke to quit the hold. The fore top-sail was loosened, and the fore-top-mast stay-sail run up, in order to slip awl ground the ship in either Stoke's Bay or on the Spit ; but, before a forelock of the chain cable could be got at, it was found that the ship was on fire from stem to stern, and in order to save the lives of the passengers•an tr.:av, the baits were lowered, and other boats, at a great hazard, rendered assistance from the ships Simon Taylor, Falcon, and Orator ; the men of war, the Hyacinth and Donep,al, lay too far to leeward to be of service ; and so great was the rapidity of the flames, that in nine minutes from the smoke's first appearance, the crew and passengers were in the boats, the ladies and children being obliged to be lowered, nearly •naked, over the ship's stern by a rope round their bodies. They were not very long in reaching the harbour. The Captain, who was the last to leave the ship, remaining in one of the neighbour ing vessels. At the instant of the crew's quitting the ves sel, she was so completely enveloped in flames, that any efforts to extinguish them would have been perfectly nuga tory, and she was therefore left a beautiful and awful speca tacle the whole day and night—a volcanic mass till nine o'clock on Saturday morning, when she was towed at high water on Hasler Beach, where she now lies a smoking ruin with nothing but bricks and ballast in her bottom. Not withstriding the uselessness of attempting to put out the tire on the part of the crew and the agents for the underwriters, yet we were surprised, considering that when the bits were burnt, the cable might run out, and the vessel driet among the many shipping lying near her, that the men otwar did not by a .carronade from a boat, endeavour to sink her, as at an early period the proceeds of her hull would have paid the expense of weighing her. As it was, we had the novel sight of an uninterrupted bonfire for seven-and-twenty hours at the Motberbank. It is quite impossible to surmise the cause of the fire, but it evidently, must have been in existence for a long time ; part of her cargo consisted of boxes of chemicals and casks of lime, either of which may have produced fire if the vitriol bottles had broke, or the lime got damp ; she had also on board about eighty casks of brandy, which greatly added to the vividness of the combustion, but which was not accessible ght t o article,the c u r ‘piv e in‘Ehro l vd v ooli sl , cpspqahes a s.%:ev t mio i oydonri naeth oillf lsrrfereubia,fr.:rdio:brdttole, to any iignition, itsupposedon, is out pilferingor the e o f that ques tion ; she had also a large or ipa q e,loest u oire:s a tssy i : i pv t ha; i i%: t so,m y isAteothl o noru f gssi fl.ee c ot srsl o usv i r i av ; or :coo r ird e lue6ii s itn s ,(Cois e to. c o:e l i onrna b iels. a tsa y v;ottihipd a t:oioi n iuel d rvra-. in Walrond ; Miss Price ; Mr. and wood servant, en fo Jesse ; Mr. Benjamin Mrs. Griffiths ; the two Masters Belgrave ; three steerage passengers; and a c rsw o f t went y-fi ve persons, i nc l u di ng the Captain. (From a Sunday Paper.) This fine vessel left the London Dock on Wednesday, with a valuable cargo, principally consisting of plantation stores, on a voyage to l3arbadoes. The ship was the pro perty of Messrs. Thomas Daniell and Son, the West India merchants and. shipowners, of Mincing-lane, and was up wards of live hundred tous burthen. The value of the vessel and her cargo has been variously estimated, but it is believed that the total loss cannot ha less than 60,000/. There were six mules, and a great many sheep on deck, w hi c h perished i n t h e f l ames ; one lady has lost a jewel box, the contents of which are valued at upwards of 2001. ; gentleman passenger has lost a gold watch and forty so vereigns ; and many others are considerable losers. The origin of the fire was unknown, but was supposed to have been caused by the ignition of the cargo. We understand that every attention was paid to the passengers and crew of the ship by the military, naval, and civil officers of the garrison and Dockyard, and the townspeople.. The lady who was so miraculously preserved, with her children, by the mate, has promised him a' reward of 1004 for his in trepidity on the occasion. It was reported on Saturday in the City that the vessel was laden with a cargo of lime. This was not the case. There was no lime on beard, but we understand there were two tiers of bricks in the bold as ballast. The Colonist has been many years in the West India trade, and is insured at Lloyd's. The Count and Countess Esterhazy have returned to Chandos House, from a tour. OFFICIAL ACCOUNT of the TAKING OF CONSTANTINE. LETTER OF GENERAL VALLEE TO THE MINISTER OF WAR. " Constantine, Oct. 13, 1837. " Sir—On the lamented death of General de Darnre mont I took upon myself the command of the army, and in that quality have the honour of transmitting to you a sue tint report of its operations since its arrival before this place, until a detailed report shall make you ..:cquainted with t.Ill. conduct of each corps, and of such individuals as have most distinguished ,themselves. My telegraphic despatch in formed you that the tri-coloured flag was floating over the walls of Constantine, and the preceding despatches of the Governor have made known to you the progress of the arm as far Soumah, where we arrived on the sth. On that day the army took a position about two short leagues from Con stantine, on the banks of the 13on Merzon,? - . nn tin following, day it pined ih. ,1., tod •l a little later th,, , of I . 01iiiidt , it opposition from I enemy. 11.. ~ • ,•oonnanj of the ;it the he, - 1 of the • o first brigade,:, the attack of Salo 311,1 4 ;eneral at tie head of tvlo other I,l.;: , kith rh it of 4 7 moliat Ate'. 1, afterwards, with General discOcrcd the rozition at. each point for placing the batteries, and the works were immediately com menced ; but scarcely had the army established itself when it was assailed by a most violent tempest of wind and rain. This weather continued, almost without cessation, until the 10th. It changed the ground of our bivouacks to pools of mire, into which the horses sunk up to their bellies, and the soldiers were unable to lie down. However, after the most unremitting exertions, the artillery succeeded in mount ing three batteries at Sala Mansourah, and prepared one at Coudiat Aty. The fire against the town opened on the 9th, and continued for a part of the lOth. The enemy's defences were then nearly destroyed, and the breaching battery was able to begin playing on the 11th, at about 400 hundred yards from the walls in front of Coudiat Aty. A breach was effected in the evening, but was not yetfpracticable. In the night the pieces were advanced to about 150 yards, and the breach was completed. The enemy offered a lively resistance to us at every point ; his batteries continued to fire as long as they could, and with great obitinaey. Foot soldiers kept up also a continued firing with good aim from behind the ramparts and from the houses. At the same time daily attacks were made upon our two positions of Sala Mansourah and Cottdiat Aty. The summons sent into the town the day before yester day by the Governor-General not having produced any satisfactory answer from Achmet Bey, who required, ba fore he could enter into any parley, that we should sus pend our works, 'the assault was made this morning with the most determined courage, and the inhabitants were successively dislodged from every quarter of the town, after defending themselves with extreme obstinacy. We have to deplore numerous losses. My next despatch will con vey to you the exact amounts of killed and wounded, with the names of the officers who are in one or other of these lists. Chefde Bittaillon De Scrigny, of the 2d Light Infantry, died in the breach, as well as Captain Hakett, of the Engineers. Among the wounded are General Perregaux, Colonels Combs and Lamoriciere, Chefs de Battaillons Dumas, one of the .King's and Vieux, of the Engi neers; and Captain Richepanse. Fortunately the wounds of several are but slight. A part of the distinguished in habitants and the authorities 'remained in the town. I issued a proclamation, inviting them to remain quietly in their dwellings, and i•equiring them to provide for the sub sistence of the army. Achmet has fled. It is reported that he has retired to the desert, where t.?. has family con nections. His Calif has left him, and has requested to be re-admitted into the town. I shall send you immediately the standards taken in the town.—l am, with repcct, Scc. (Signed) " COUNT VALLEE." EXTRACT OF A REPORT ADDRESSED FROM LONSTA ,TINE ON THE 16TH INST., BY LIEUT.-GENERAL COUNT VALLEE, TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE COUNCIL. OF MINISTERS :- " I am about to forward to the Minister of War a report of the operations of the army from the Ist to the 13th of October. A copy of my report will no doubt be laid be fore your. Excellency, and will enable you to judge of the ensemble of the siege in the conducting of this operation, which was entirely performed by the artillery, and of the measures adopted for the storming which rendered us masters of the city. Whilst we were still before the place some attempts were made to renew negotiations. On the 11th inst. Gem Damremont addressed to the inhabitants of Constantine the subjoined proclamation marked No. 1. The flag of truce returned next day without having been ill-treated, but with an offensive answer, announcing the intention of the inhabitants to bury themselves under the ruins of the place. On the 12th, a few hours after the Go vernor-General's death, an envoy from Achnset presented it self before our outposts, and on being brought, before me, de livered to me, on the part of the Bey, the letter of which I send you a copy, marked No. 2. In this proceeding Achmet appeared to me to have no other object than to gain time; in the hope, perhaps, that our provisions would b speedily exhausted, 'and that the . army,- obliged to execute a diffi cult retreat in presence of the enemy would perish from famine and privations, and afford the Bey a favourable op portunity of attacking it with success. Under this impres sion I readied to the 13g, that, disposed as I was to enter into a convention for putting an end to the war, I consi• dered it necessary to exact, as an indispensable preliminary to any negotiation, the surrender of the place, and that till I could receive his answer I should continue to urge on the attack with unremitting activity. The Envoy took his departure with the letter, a copy of which I forward to you, marked No. 3, and from that period we heard no more of Achmet. At the moment when 1 refused to sus pend the fire of my batteries, a breach had already been made in the main body of the place, and on the evening of the 12th it appeared to me in a sufficiently advanced state to lead to the hope that on the following morning it would be completely practicable. In consequence 1 gave the neces sary orders for the formation of the storming columns, which were to be under the direction of the Duke of Nemours, who cemmanded the besi s egine. troops. The batteries continued to fire during the whole of the night, and at daybreak every thing i was disposed to enable us to penetrate into the place, the gates of which the enemy in their blind fury still refused to open to us. I shall enter into no details of the attack, which was conducted by our troops with the most brilliant valour ; it was one of the most remarkable actions which I have witnessed during my lengthened career ; and it is but. justice to our soldiers to declare that all of them proved worthy of the exalted mission confided to them. As soon as tranquillity was re-established in the city I pro ceeded with the Duke de Nemours to take possession of the palace of the By, and my first care was to disarm the inhabitants, and to put an end to the disorder, which must always prevail more or less in a town taken by storm. I have named General Rulhieres Commandant-in-Chief of Constantine, and have ordered him to take every measure calculated to inspire with confidence the few inhabitants who have remained in the city. 1 have announced to the people that we engage to respect the manners and religion of the country. The French troops have been forbidden to enter the mosques, and from this morning the Mus stilmans attend prayers at the hours prescribed by the Koran. Assisted by the local authorities, whom I hare maintained in their functions, the Intendant of the army has commenced an investigation into the state of the pub lic and private stores, and has already found a quantity of wheat, and warehouses stored with barley, sufficient fir the first necessities of the army. But we have not yet been able to find - any cattle, and the troops arc living upon the provisions brought with them from Mjez-Ainiat. I am in hopes, however, that the neighbouring tribes will ere long supply us with provisions. I have ordered a mar ket to.be opened at the gate of Babel Oued, which, ac cording to all appearance, Kill soon be frequented. I have ordered the track of the Bey to be followed as closely as possible ; and, according to the last information which I have received, he has retired to a distance of several days' march from Constantine, after having been stripped by the Arabs of the treasures which he had carried away with him. I have. clespatched some emissaries to ascertain his exact position." (Here follow some political considerations on the Beylick of Ccnstantine.) . No. 1. LETTER FROM THE COM:rIANDER-IN-CIIIEF TO THE INIIA ISITANTS of CONSTANTINE. " Inhabitants of Constantine l—My cannon are planted at the foot of your walls, which are about to be thrown down, and my troops will enter your town. If you wish to avoid the unfortunate consequences you will surrender while it is yet time. I swear to you that your women and chil dren will be spared, and your property respected, and that you may continue to live peaceably in your houses. Send men of probity to confer with me, so that every thing may be arranged before I enter the town. I declare, under my seal, that what I have promised I will strictly perform. (Signed) " " COUNT DE DAMREMONT." -No. 2. LETTER FROM ACIIMET lIADJI, BEY OF CONSTANTINE, TO THE COMMANDER-IN-EIIIEF OF THE EXPEDITI ON. " On the part of the most powerful our Lord and Master El-Sid-el-Handjy-el-Ahmed Paella, to the Governor of Al giev, Commander-in Chief of the army—We learn tint you have sent a messenger to the inhabitants of the town, who has been detained by the principal chiefs, for fear Ile might be killed by the populace, who follow their own igaorance. The same chiefs have sent me this intelligence in order to know my sentiments. If you really wish to make peace cease your firing and restore tranquillity ; then we will treat for peace. Wait 24 hours, in order that a person of intelligence may come to you on my part, and by means or a treaty we may bring to an end this war, which cannot produce any good: Do not be alarmed for your senger ; he is in safety in the town." No. 3.. REPLY OF GENERAL VALLEE TO ACIINIET HEY. "I see with pleasure that you are tlisposeti to make peace, and that you acknowledge this to be our mutual interest. But, in the present state of the siege, our operations cannot be suspended, and no treaty can be sigßed by us within the walls of Constantine. If the gates arc opened to n by your order, the terms shall be the same as those already offered by us, and we engage to maintain good order in the town, to pay respect to persons, property, and religion, and to occupy the town in a manner to render the burthen of the presence of the army as light and as short as possible. But, if we enter by force, we shall not be bound by any prior engagement, and the miseries of war will not be attri butable to us. If, as we believe, your desire for peace is as sincere as ours, n,nd as you declare you will perceive the necessity of an immediate answer. (Signed) "Count VALLEE." To TILE MINISTER 01' WAR.

Un fortunately the documents necessary to enable me to draw up this report were not furnished to me when required, and I am forced to postpone the transmission of them till the departure of the next courier. On the 12th General Per. regaux, at the head of the staff, was struck in the head by a musket-ball at the moment when General de Damremont had been taken off by a cannon-ball. The wound, though serious, is not mortal, and I trust that he will still live to serve his King and country. He has continued in the dis charge of his functions as head of the staff. The King has lost an able and-devoted servant in Colonel Combes, who died yesterday of his wounds i❑ the storming of the city. His loss will be deeply felt by the . army, for we all admired his courage and coolness under the enemy's fire at the very moment when he received the death-wound. I have bad a return of our losses sent in to me ; they amounted to 97 killed and 494 wounded ; amongst the total number 15 officers were killed, and 3S, more or less, se verely wounded. The firmness of Gell. Kulhieres, whom I have invested with the chief command of Constantine, succeeded in calming the effervescence of the soldiery, and tranquillity and confidence were speedily restored in the city. The troops have been strictly prohibited from molesting the inhabitants in their persons, their religion, or their pro perty. I have forbidden the soldiers to enter the mosques, and every measure has been taken that may leave the Mu sulmans in the free exercise of their religious worship. The artillery is actively employed in bringing into the magazines the arms abandoned by the inhabitants on every side is their flight, and has drawn up a return of the car.non feUnd in the place. We have ascertained at present that there are 59 in a more or less perfect state of preserv.ttion. I have at the same Cato given orders that artillery with 20 rounds of ammunition shall be placed on the ramparts to repel an attack, of which, however, no apprehension can be enter tained. The engineers have commenced closing the breach, and likewise all the issues, with the exception of the gates, which may give an entrance into the place." (After .re peating the statement addressed to the President of the Council respecting the steps taken icy the Intendant of the army, and the local authorities, to secure provisions, to se cure a regular supply of cattle for the necessities of the army, and to ascertain the exact position of Achmet Per, who, to all appearance, had been abandoned by the majority of his adherents, and stripped of his trcssures, the Ge neral continues as follows) :—" I have forwarded •to Count Mole a copy of the letter which Achmet Boy forwarded to me the evening before the day on which I ordered the storming to commence, and also the answer which I judged it expedient to address to him.

Copies of- these documents will also be annexed to the report which I shall shortly address to you. I shall lose no time in laying before his Majesty the names of the offi cers and soldiers who distinguished themselves during the siege, and I venture to hope that you will support the ap plications for recompenses which I shall address to you in their favour.
