the Palace. Mahmoud, losing all hope of safety
called all his family around him, and sacrificed with
his own hand his three daughters and his son, ex-
claiming in a solemn voice, The times are accom-
plished.' At the same time the Janissaries, fbrcing
their way on all sides into the Palace, appeared, and
were struck with horror. He then cried to them,
pointing to his son, who lay stretched lifeless at his
feet—' The race of Nlahomet is going to be extinct,
and the reign of the Ottomans is at an end; Saying
these word's, he plunged his dagger into his heart,
and expired Wine their eyes."
• The Turks believe that the reign of the Ottomans will finish
with the race of Alahomet, of which Alahmoutl was the last
branch.

break, about 400 seditious persons entered this place-
overpowered the principal guard of the quarter of the
cavalry at the gates, and attacked the guard of the
prison to release the prisoners ; but a subaltern and
tour soldiers who were on duty, protected by an iron
gate, kept up a brisk fire at them, and made them
desist from their enterprise. At the same time they
began to tire at them through the windows. Some
militia assembled, anti attacking them on all sides,
obliged them to fly precipitately, so that many leaped
flout the wall. The most of those who were within
showed themselves in the plain, about one hundred
and fifty, and by late accounts there were far more,
who carne from different parts, who expected the
bell of the cathedral to he rung, and as they could
not get at the hell, because the ringers did not open
the church, they did nut appear. Of those who at-
tacked the guard five were killed and three taken,
two of whom were shot to day ; nine others who
were taken are in the prison. No militia-man or
perAia belonging to the city has suffered.
MADRID' DEC. 2 . —ln consequence of the in-
surrections in several parts of Navarre, Colonel D.
Alexander O'Donnell, commandant of the city of
Vittoria, took the precaution (that the bad example
might not be propagated to some of the parts of the
piovince of Alava) of sending a detachment to Santa
Cruz de Campezu, an important point on the borders
of the two provinces, though he had only one bat-
talion, having marched the other to Puente. This
precaution was not in vain ; for on the 20th he
learnt that one Crespo, and Dominguillo, each with
about thirty of the insurgents ut Navarre, were at
Poblacion and Bernedo, carrying off arms and horses.
He consequently sent a detachment of about 140 1
inen, chiefly militia, who otnred th.;ir services, and
in concert with other detachments, attacked these
rebels. Dominguillo was killed, and five others
taken. There was nothing important from Arragon.
Detachments were marched from Lerida to reinforce
the troops of Arragon ; others are proceeding by
forced marches to Catalonia, for the same purpose ;
others have marched from Valencia and in short
from all parts,even in Estremadura troops are ordered
to Arragun and Navarre, which proves the exertions
of the Government. News was received at Vittoria
that the troops of Ger. Lopes Banos have entirely
desttoyed the insurgents of Navarre, under their
chief, Ladron.
Mkt:nun, Doc. 27.—The inhabitants of Valen-
cia, the national militia, and the troops in the gar-
rison in that province, have addressed an energetic
representation to the Cortes, declaring that they
entertain the saute views as Cadiz, Corunna, Car-
thagena, and Murcia, that is to say, that they are
in a state of disobedience to the government.
A letter from Valencia states, that the constitu-
tional Alcade had been fired upon by three men, but
that the patrol had succeeded in taking them,
Brigadier noblesse], colonel of a battalion of the
2d regiment of the Royal Guard; one of the most
zealous constitutionalists, is appointed commandant
of Ciudad Rodrigo.
The most perfect tranquillity reigns at Madril.—
Respecting Cadiz and Seville, the intelligence is of
the hest description; and although the new func-
tionaries have not yet entered on their duties, the
authorities who were guilty, convinced that they
can ii ad support on no side, are ready to give up
their pests. Is is added that two regiments of
Cadiz have made a declaration, by which they renew
their profession 'of respect for the constitution, and
for w:iateva may be the decision of the Cortes.
Notwithstanding appearances of things in Spain
I have no fear whatever of a civil' war, as all the
discontent arises from the discreilitbf the Ministry;
