were dissatisfied with the new orders and regulations to which they were subjected, and which at length they refused to submit to, and that disaffection pre vailed in the Ottoman Cabinet, all this naturally leads to a conviction that the fire was o c casioned by the mutinous soldiery ; but as the packet came away without having seen the final result, nothing posi tive can be known. According to the extent of the ground that is left bare by the flames, it is calculated that the number of houses destroyed amounts to 16,000. The Board of Health here has just pub lished a notice that the plague has broken out in Albania, and that, consequently, all arrivals from that country will be subjected to rigorous observation." The Perlin State Gazette of the 18th inst. says : —" According to letters from Saxony, the Emperor of Russia will proceed from Munchengratz to Mod lin, where the Russian and the newly-formed Polish troops are to be encamped and reviewed by his Ma jesty." The same paper announces the return of the Princes of Prussia, the Duke of Cambridge, and the hereditary Grand Duke and Duchess of Meck lenburg Schwerin to Berlin from Magdeburg-.

A letter, dated Toulon, Sept. 19, gives the fol lowing :—" Orders have just arrived for the flotilla destined ler Bugia, to receive the troops on Friday ne ,. .1. The stores for clothing and for the barracks will begin to be shipped to-morrow. Six block houses are to be sent out, for the purpose of being placed at the outposts. The frigate La Victoire and Lc Cygne will be moored with their broadsides to the shore, within half cannon-shot, if there is a sufficient depth of water, and will keep up a constant fire, to protect the landing of the troops. The transports will afterwards advance and set the horses on shore, which will be immediately harnessed to the field-pieces, under the fire of which the columns will pass Bugia, and proceed to place the Mock houses to guard the avenues to the town. The troops will be partly lodged in the houses which have been abandoned, and partly encamped in the environs. The division which is to join the expe dition from Algiers will be made acquainted with the departure of this flotilla from Toulon, in order that they may unite at sea, and effect a simultaneous landing," (Private Correspondence of a Morning Paper.) PARIS, TUESDAY,4 O'CLOCK, 1 3 .31.-Mr. Mande ville, late Secretary to the British Embassy at Con stantinople, arrived at Ancona, from that city, on the 11th, and landed on the following day. Al though bearer of important despatches for the Bri tish Government, Mr. Mandeville was not allowed to proceed to his destination without first perform ing the customary quarantine in the Lazaretto of Ancona. Mr. Mandeville did not think proper to forward his despatches by another messenger, deem ing their contents of such a nature as to make it necessary that he should be himself the bearer of them as far as London. He left Constantinople on the 31st ult,, not, as seems to be implied by some of the letters from Ancona, for the express purpose of bringing the particulars of a revolution which had broken out in that capital on the 30th, but merely because his departure had been resolved upon soon after the arrival of Lord Ponsonby as Am bassador Extraordinary, Mr. Mandeville having till then directed the affairs of the Embassy in the character of Minister Plenipotentiary. Your Government is in the habit of sending credentials to the Chief Secretary, which enable him to appear in the character of Minister Plenipotentiary during the absence of an Ambassador, at all Courts where it is customary to have one of first class, in lieu of allowing, as formerly, the Ambassador himself to leave the direction of affairs to the Chief Secretary, with the title of Charge d'Affaires. But the Secre tary who has once appeared as his Sovereign's representative, which his powers as a Plenipoten tiary constitute him, necessarily ceases to fill the subordinate functions of Secretary, instead of resum ing which, on the arrival of a newly appointed am bassador, he withdraws, Mr. Mandeville's depar ture from Constantinople took place in pursuance of that practice, and had not, therefore, any of the im portance which the letters from Ancona of the 11th, and some of the Paris papers which published them, attributed to it. I think we may pretty safely con clude that the revolution spoken of occurred only in the imaginations of those who had been led to expect one from the various accounts from Turkey previously published, and who in a moment of hurry, made up their minds that no chief secretary could leave his post, if he was not in a manner driven out of the country by the actual event which had been anticipated. The news of another great fire in Constantinople seems, however, to be true. Fires are of frequent occurrence in that city, the houses of which are built of wood and planks, in such a manner as almost to make a stranger suppose that they are expressly intended for the purpose of affording, every now and then, to the inhabitants, the edifying spectacle of a conflagration. The won der is, not in the number of houses burnt when a fire has occurred, but in that of the houses which have not been burnt, for the escape of any would seem to be an impossibility. Some of these fires in Constantinople are supposed to originate in discon tent, and that cause is ascribed to them not only by many of the European journalists who have occasion to speak of them, but by many of the writers of let ters giving an account of them from Constantinople itself. Nothing can be more ill-founded than the notion to that effect. I have resided some years in Constantinople, and have witnessed the burning of houses without number; among them ray own, on two different occasions, and I can assure you that the origin of every fire was traced, or traceble, to neglect, and the immense facilities of ignition afforded by the dry sun-burnt wooden materials of which the houses are constructed, the manner in which they are warmed in winter, and the practice of smoking pipes incessantly on straw mats, wooden floors, and chintz sofas. You will perceive by the reports of legal proceed ings, published by some of the papers, that the Tri bune underwent yesterday its 81st Government pro secution, and Bth condemnation. Its responsible editor, M. Lionne, already suffering imprisonment in virtue of the sentence of the Chamber of Deputies, was yesterday condemned to five years' further im prisonment, and the payment of a fine of 20,000 francs. Whatever, however, may be said against the libelous matter which formed the ground of this extraordinary sentence, the prosecution itself would have been an extremely impolitic act at all times, hut especially at present, when the country has begun to settle into something like general tran quillity, party spirit was losing much of its acrimony, and the popularity of the Government was gaining ground. Such a prosecution was calculated to stop the progress of this general improvement in the po litical feeling of the country, and the voice of discontent has already been heard among those who were best disposed towards the Government. Mo=t people here seem inclined to view the pro ceeding as one of mere persecution, and as founded on a desire of revenge, more than that of insuring public tranquillity and order, which are the objects of the formation of laws and their application. But the laws against the press in France were not made with any reference to the good of the community merely, but chiefly with the view of affording means to satisfy the vindictiveness of the Govern ment of the restoration, at whose bidding the do cile legislators of yore passed them without scruple. Their application , after the revolution of 18 30, in fallibly reminds the French people of all that has been left undone by that revolution, and when , at tempted as many as eighty-one times against a paper which would remain unnoticed w ithout them, it is apt to do infinitely greater injury to the power on whose behalf it is intended than to produce the be nefit the Government professes to expect from it. As this trial and its result seem to have produced much sensation in the upper circles of society here, it is probable that I shall have to say a few words more about it in my next.

Verstolk from London is in consequence of a memorial which he sent from London to the Go vernment, relative to the state of the negotiations in that city ; also that the memorial is drawn up in a very conci liatory spirit, and that a speedy termination of our differences with Belgium may be expected, if the ideas contained in it should be adopted by the Government. The Govern• ment, however, seems not to be able to come to a decision on this point any more than with regard to Luxemburg. There is no truth in the report first spread by the Belgian papers that four questions have been put by the Conference to our Government. All questions have been passed over to come to that of Luxemburg, which it was supposed would cause the most difficulties. It is the more to be hoped that this affair will be soon settled! as it is quite distinct from our affairs, and the Conference seem resolved not to meet again till it is decided. Though the Gcvernment has sufficient funds to go on with for the first months of next year, including the payment of the interest of the debt, without a new loan, it is not to be expected that it will make use of them, if there is no prospect of more advantageous arrangements.

BRUSSELS PAPERS. BRUSSELS, SEPT. 23.—The Independent of this morning contains the following article : We announced two days ago that the Orangeist Com mittee had sent Deputies to the Hague, to London, Frank fort, and Toplitz ; the Journals of that party here imputed to us the most odious intentions. We persist in our reso lution not to publish any of the names of the self-styled representatives of the genuine national opinion. We will add, however, that two of these Deputies, who lately left Ghent, were received at the Vague by M. Van Doorn, now Minister of the Interior, and formerly Governor of East Flanders. The following is the watch-word brought back from the Hague, " To excite disturbances at Ghent, Brussels, Ant werp and Liege, on the celebration of the anniversary of September." We shall see how these gentlemen will succeed in exe cuting the orders of M. Von Doom. For our parts, we believe that the only result will be their having been put to the expense of the journey.— Courrier Beige, Sept. 24. BRUSSELS, SErr. 25.—0 n account of the solemnity of the day appointed to render funeral honours to the memory of those patriots who fell in September, 1830, at the commencement of the Belgian revolution, the Courrier Beige, and other Belgian Journals, have not been published to-day, 25th September. The Moniteur Beige appears, however, as usual, but is almost wholly filled with the debates of the Chamber on the 22d. A short article merely states that Brussels was very gay the day before, that the fetes had commenced, that the exhibition of pictures was opened, and that the city was full of strangers.—. Brussels Papers, Sept. 25. (From a private letter in the Leipsic Gazette.) LUCCA, SEPT. 2.—For these three days we have cele brated a truly national festival. The following are the particulars :—About twenty individuals who, during the last year had become obj-cts of suspicion to the police, chose voluntary exile, in order to escape death. Strict investigations were immediately set on foot, in order to discover the most zealous propagators of liberal doctrines. But when, after tedious inquiry, and fruitless expense, no discovery could be made, and the interrogatories tended only to show the injustice of the proceedings that had been commenced, the Ministers held a council, in which they resolved to form an inquisitory tribunal, like that formerly existing at Venice, by which they might be enabled to cause all persons suspected of liberal principles to be executed within 24 hours, without hearing the deposition of witnesses or the defence of the accused. They had already written to Rome for three executioners. All this took place during the absence of his Royal Highness the Duke of Lucca. On his arrival at Milan, on his return from Germany, the abovenamed resolution of the Council was presented to him. He was urged to give it his sanction, and entreated to leave Italy again, on the pretext that there was a conspiracy against his august person. The high-minded Prince, far from listening to unworthy counsellors and again leaving his states, following only the wise counsels of the excellent Marquis Cesar Borcella, set out for Lucca the same night, and on the night of the 25th of August, arrived at his country seat at Murlia. On the following day, the authors of the Decree again urged the Duke to sanction it. A look of contempt and indignation was the only answer of the august Prince. On the 26th his Royal Highness, of his own accord, granted a general amnesty, which the ba , e opponents of it did not publish till the 30th. This un expected change of things (for the well known sentiments of the Ministers gave good ground to expect the contrary), gave the city a festival, the inhabitants indulging in the most sincere and unbounded joy. In the evening there was a grand illumination, not only in the city and the immediate environs, but also in the villages. When the Duke came, on the evening of the 31st, from his country seat to the theatre, he was received at the city gates by a body of the most distinguished citizens, who took the horses from his carriage, and, amidst cries of " Long life to our Noble Prince," and accompanied by 600 troops, drew him to the theatre. During the performance, which was frequently interrupted by the acclamations of the delighted citizens, unable to suppress their feelings, a great number of sonnets were thrown from the galleries, one of which, with two beau tiful wreaths of flowers, was presented to the Duke in his box by two ladies, the wife and a ❑ear relation of one of the exiles. The Prince, deeply moved by this scene, shed tears and exclaimed, " Now for the first time I know my people ! I have been deceived, and how ?" After the play, the Prince returned to his country seat, surrounded by a crowd of young men on horseback, bearing torches, and followed by the great mass of the population, who were intoxicated with joy. At the Prince's country house, festivities of all kinds were prepared, in which persons of all ranks participated. The Prince frequently repeated, with great emotion and marks of heartfelt satisfaction, " I have been frequently deceived ! Look at my people ! I recognise my faithful subjects ! I was deceived!" The Ministers of Justice and Finance were immediately dismissed, and left to the reproaches of their own con science. We are assured that a general reform in the administration is resolved upon. Our Sovereign is deter mined to surround himself with honest, well-intentioned, and well-informed servants. It were to be wished that the other provinces of Italy would follow this example; they would be convinced that the love of the subject is not gained by chains and the executioner's axe, but by mild ness, tolerance, and fraternal regard for them.—Frankfort Papers, Sept. 20. ANCONA, SEPT., 1833.- 4, I am on my way (in the Meteor) from the Admiral and Constantinople with Mr. Mandeville, Secretary of Legation, with im portant despatches from the Sublime Porte, but they have given Mr. Mandeville 40 days' quarantine here. The Turks are very unsettled, and are setting fire to every thing. I saw four fires when I left, one of which bad burnt a good square mile of Constantinople ; I was close to it, and never saw such a terrible blaze in my life. The Seraskier caught one man with fireballs in his pocket, and made the police heave him right into the fire. It is thought the Russian fleet will be back again, and the Turks evidently want to destroy the Sultan for calling them in. I think the crescent is ebbing very fast, but it won't do to let the Russians have that magnificent country." , BOULOGNE, SEPT. 19.—The Subscription set on foot in this place for the survivors from the Am phitrite is daily increasing ; the last account was 2,159 francs, 500 of which sum the Duke of Orleans was pleased to subscribe. A subscription was set on foot at the camp at St. Omer, to which the officers and men subscribed, and the sum of 290 francs was sent to the Committee. Our humane friend, Colonel Martin, has sent the Committee 250 francs. Owen has quite re covered from the bruises be received on the night of the Wreck. LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 26, 1833. When we alluded yesterday to the late smug gling transaction in which the seals of the Foreign-office in France had been used for the parcels which were addressed to Prince TALLEY RAND, we were not aware that there was any direct connection between the person who in troduced the goods into this country, and any official persons in France. We imagined that the seals of the Foreign-office had been fraudu lently obtained by a bribe to some underling, and that the whole affair was the contrivance of a common smuggler. It appears, however, that the person who brought over the packages, and who was, or pretended to be, at the same time the bearer of despatches for the French Ambas sador, was Count F. -, a former attaché to a French Legation, and cousin to one of the French Ministers, General SEBASTIAN'. Whether Count F.-- ever delivered despatches to M. de TALLEYRAND or not we cannot take upon ourselves to say ; but we know that he paid frequent visits to the French Embassy here, after the seizure of his goods, which he would hardly have had the impudence to have done if some persons, nearly connected with the French Government, had not been privy to this dis graceful transaction. Although the case of Count F. -- is the first in which detection has taken place, there can be no doubt but that the speculation had been previously carried on to a very great extent ; and, even in the instance alluded to, there would have been no interrup_ tion of it if previous success had not made the parties over confident. Twenty-seven package s at one time was rather too barefaced a charg e for a Government messenger. Even the pro tocols which have resulted from the joint wisdom of Hanover-square and Downing-street, would hardly have formed such a bulk; and it was im. possible for the Custom-house officers at Dover to carry their respect for the seals of th e French Foreign-office to such an extent as to allow so many packages to pass without inquiry and examination. M. de TALLEYRAND, whatever he may know of the affair, has acted wisely as well as honour ably in declining to use his influence for the restoration of the property ; but we hope the matter will not rest here ; and, if the cousin of General SEBASTIAN' be still in London, that he will be proceeded against for the penalties of his offence, like any other smuggler. His being the cousin of a French Minister is a ground for increased severity rather than for leniency ; and whilst our gaols are crowded with starving men, who violated the revenue laws to obtain that bread which they were not permitted to earn by honest industry, we can see no reason why a foreigner of rank, the cousin of a Mini ster, who could have had no motive for the violation of those laws but one of a mercenary character, should be allowed to escape without any other punishment than the loss of his mer chandize. The Count has probably taken wing, and is now in Paris bewailing his loss with those who were connected with him in the speculation ; but how did it happen that at a time when he was in the habit of paying frequent visits to the Embassy, where he must have been seen by the Custom-house officers who went there for the purpose of having the packages opened in the presence of the Ambassador, no attempt was made to detain him ? We talk a good deal of even-handed justice in this country ; but here we see a wholesale offender escape, whilst the poor devil who smuggles a gallon of brandy to earn a shilling or two for the support of his family, is sent' to gaol to expiate his offence, and the parish is burdened with his wife and children. The Turks are as even-handed in their jus tice in these respects as we are, and probably more just. Private accounts from Paris state that the police are again on the alert for the detection of a conspiracy, of which every one is talking without a single proof being offered of its existence. That the partisans of the exiled BOURBONS are in higher spirits than they were, we can easily believe ; for the present Government of France has, by the persecution of the press, the attempt to bastilize the capital, and many other unjust and unpopular acts, accomplished for the 1-lenriquistes the first great step towards a change—dissatisfaction with the existing state of things ; but we cannot believe that, even among the besotted members of the old regime in France, there are ten persons, possessing any stake in the country, who are mad enough to imagine that they could bring about a counter revolution in favour of their own views. What ever the French may think of the present Sovereign and his Ministers, they are too en lightened to exchange them for the old Ultras. If Louts PHILIP should receive his congj, it would be for a very different result. The report of the insurrection at Constanti nople is, it seems, premature, though, judging from the present state of affairs in Turkey, and more especially in the capital, nothing was more likely to happen. It is perfectly true, however, that a tremendous conflagration broke out in Constantinople on the 30th, which was still raging when the Meteor steam-boat left that port on the evening of the 31st. The cause of this fire is not known, but it is supposed to have originated in accident. We learn from a private letter in the Leipsic Gazette, which will be found under the head Brussels Papers, that the Grand Duke of LUCCA , having lately taken the popular side against his Ministers, was received by the people with unbounded acclamations, and a grand festivity and illumination took place in consequence at Lucca, on the 2d instant, and the two following days. The public interest in the progress of the Corporation Commission continues to increase, as is natural from the incomparable political im portance of the inquiry. We yesterday extracted two able articles from the Times and Morning Chronicle on this great question of Municipal Reform. They embrace all the topics of the present Conservative discussion and objections. Doubtless the corrupt, close bodies would desire to perpetuate that power, authority, and sinister possession so palatable to their pride and politi cal prejudices; but their throes of expiring life are only the tail-splashing of an harpooned whale. They will soon be laid " high and dry," and their blubber securely lodged in the safe hold of an early remedial mea sure of the Reformed House of Commons. The amendment of the representation was their certain death-blow; and this the crafty Corporations discerned when, as a body, with a few honourable exceptions, they so fiercely and virulently opposed the recent great national measure of political regeneration. The muni cipal question is treated by the Tories much in the same cunning way the priests deal with the popular reformation of Church Establishments. The evil practices and exclusive privileges of cor porators, when attacked, are said to be designs against municipal institutions, as churchmen con veniently describe a reform of church abuses and the control of priestcraft as an attack on natural and revealed religion. But these feints and perversions of logic will no longer avail the evil doers. The people are too wise, determined, and omnipotent, to be humbugged by such trashy arguments, miscalled reasoning. The town clerk of Leicester, and his magisterial mas ters, will not cloak their evil acts, nor any longer secure impunity. We agree with the Times, that there is no such thing as justice, if the Leicester Corporators are not legally forced to replace the scandalous misappropriation of the public funds to the promotion of their individual politics and local Toryism. In the meanwhile, the Commissioners may expect and deserve abuse from the Tory press and its blind readers ; and the more gross and repeated the calumnies, the more assured we are that the Commissioners are effectively and zealously discharging their in valuable office of a public and searching inquiry. The Earl and Countess of Durham left their residence in Cleveland-row on Tuesday evening for Lamb ton Castle, to receive his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, who is about to pay the Noble Earl a visit at his seat in the North. Lord and Lady Durham arrived in town only on Sunday from the Isle of Wight, where they have been residing three months, with the exception of the interval the Earl was at Cherbourg. We understand that his Lordship's health is much improved. MILFORD HAVEN, SEPT. 23.—Sir James Graham, and two other Lords of the Admiralty, viz., Sir T. Hardy and Admiral Dundas, arrived at this port on an official visit last Saturday in the Lightning steam vessel, accompanied by the Endymion frigate, Vestal sloop, Rapid brig, Dee steamer, and Falcon yacht, the property of Lord Yarborough. Yesterday they attended divine service at the Dockyard Chapel, and to-day mu stered the workmen of th e y ar d, i ns p ec t e d the detachment of marines, and transacted o th er b us iness connected with these depart ments. It is expected they will complete the purport of their visit t o - mor row, and leave this for Cork on Wednes flay. The V es tal, a vessel of Captain Symonds's con struction, is now beating down the Haven, so as to precede the Admiralty in their voyage to the Emerald Isle. She is a beautiful ship, and bea ts everything she has come in c ontact with. She has a roun d stern, but so beautifully disguised as to have every appearance of a square one ; h er c breadth i s s y e m n o o r n m d s o s h er e with their Lordships.s , compared with others of h er c l ass . ALARMING Ft RE.—On Thursday evening a little before ten o'clock, a fire broke out in one of the cockles at Bourneoast, the property of the Baroness d'Montesquieu. The fire commenced at the extreme end of the building, and at one time raged with such violence that no hopes were entertained of any part being pre served. Fortunately the Phesnix Fire Office engine was promptly at the spot, followed closely by thou of the Kent and Norwich Union, and succeeded in preventing the flames from spreading through the entire range. The principal part of the Baroness's hops were moved into an adjoining meadow, and saved by the praiseworthy exerlions of the lower classes, who had assembled in great numbers. The building is considerably damaged and uninsured.— Kentialr Gazette. CONSECRATION OF ST. MARTIN'S CHAPEL, BURLEIGH•STREET, STRAND. The consecration of this chapel of ease to the parish church of St. Martin's in the Fields, built under the di rection of the Commissioners for erecting new churches, being appointed for to-day, the chapel was opened at an early hour, and, long before the arrival of the Bishop, was filled by a most fashionable congregation of which the female beauty of London formed no inconsiderable part. The interior of the chapel exhibits a neat and elegant specimen of modern gothic architecture, accompanied with convenience and comfort. The Bishop of London arrived at half-past eleven o'clock, and entered the Church at the north door, accompanied by his Chap lain. His Lordship was here received by the Chancellor of the Diocese, the Registrar, Minister, Churchwardens, and Trustees, and by them conducted to the Vestry-room, where, having robed, his Lordship proceeded to the front of the Com munion, where he was presented by the minister with the petition of consecration, which his Lordship delivered to the registrar, who read it to the congregation. The Bishop then, accompanied by his Chaplain and Clergy, walked from the east to the west of the Church, and back again, repeating the 24th psalm. When the procession arrived at the Communion Table, the Bishop having taken his seat on the north sirle, the deed of conveyance was pre sented to his Lordship, who laid it on the table, and offered up the usual prayers and supplications on such occasions. The Chairman then read the sentence of consecration, which the Bishop signed, commanding it, together with the petition and deeds to be recorded in his registry. The service of the day was then read by the Rev. Mr. Finch, the future Minister of the chapel, in a most impressive manner ; at the conclusion of which the com munion service was read by the Bishop, who preached a most excellent sermon, from the 14th chapter and 32(1 and 33d verses of St. Paul's Ist Epistle to the Corin thians—" The spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets, for God is not the author of confusion, but peace, in ad the churches of the saints."

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK This is the dullest morning we have bad for some time past for information, there being no arrivals of the least importance from any quarter, which causes a complete staenation in the Funds. The merchants and speculators are anxiously waiting the arrival of further information from Portugal, to ascer tain the true cause for which the Echo steamer was de spatched to Government from Lisbon, as the assertions in the various journals on the affairs of Portugal have not proved correct. Consols opened at the price they left off, BSI for the Account—scarce a bargain doing. Portuguese Scrip has been done at 191.; at present may be quoted 191 to 204. _ HALF-PAST ONE. A report prevails that the Royalist has arrived from Lisbon, but we cannot trace it to any authentic source at present. A Dutch mail has arrived. It does not bring any poli- tical news of consequence ; but our private information states that the Dutch treasury is in a prosperous state; and that the King of Holland does not require a loan, money being so plentiful at Amsterdam. The Dutch Funds come much the same as per last accounts. Consols continue at the opening price, 881 I for the Account, and 88k to 4 for money. No business doing. Portuguese Scrip, 19k to 20k prem. In other Fo reign Securities nothing doing. We hear that five hundred troops embark for Don Pedro this day ; there are also going from Ireland five hundred more Catholics for the Queen's regiment.

IMPORTANT INVENTION.--A gentleman at Liverpool has invented an apparatus f o r convert i ng sa lt water into fresh, which , if it answers the expectations of the inventor as to cheapness and utility, must prove of great service to ships on long voyages. It is stated that this process, for its economy and simplicity of operation, has met with the most decided approbation of persons capable of appreciating the merits of the invention.
