FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

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.

vince, at the head of an armed uusled has raised

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 checked 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 released 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 4440 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 cache
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

The following is an extract of a letter foont Port-
au-Prince, dated 10th March:—" You will, no
doubt, have been informed of the disturbances that
have broken out at Gonaives. 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,.

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 of
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
