that an atkaordinary courier from Constantinople

with this view are extremely great, and have

• On the 14th inst. iwo.everits happened at Pera,
which, although unconnected with public affairs, or
military discipline, have excited a lively serration:
A French supercargo, named Beissin, had had re-
peated violent altercations with several workmen,
who affirmed that they had grievous cause of com-
plaint against him—they _assassinated him in the
oven Strese;. 1
The otker tragical event which has made greater:,l
noise is,.. Don Collard, Chaniellor of the Catholic ,
ilkYclibisliop of :Constantin'opio, was assassinated in
his house, at night, by villains who had effected aft •
entrance. The murderers have nut yet been disco-
vered; but as they carried off* a considerable sum of
money and important papers, it is presumed they
will soon be detected. . They day following this. as-
saaaination, .the Topoldgi-Bachi, to whom the charge ,
of the police or Pets is confided, was dismissed.
•The Marquis &Latour Mabourg, Ambassador of
France, left Constantinople on the 20th instant;
Some claims which remained unanswered not allow-
ing of his having an audience of reception of the
Grind Seignor, he set off without taking leave; but

Deputies a law project, for the organization of un

" to-tuorrow a cull %via be made for the army of re-

will be presented by the Ministers, for a new levy of

influential members of the opposition on the right,

The following is an extract of a letter received by
way of Pernambuco:—
" Banta, Fan. 9.—The general opinion here is,
that the pending struggle is nearly at an end. The
Europeans have not, since the commencement, gained
any advantage whatever; but on the contrery, from
a foe which they affwted to despise, they have sus-
tained severe losses. Pent up here, they arc per-
fectly reduced to defensive tactics. Their reverses
have entirely broken their spirit, ar.d we think that
were they pressed hard, they would oppose but u
feeble resistance. Constant hard service under tl
vertical sun has knOcked up about one-third of their
numbers, ilex I.S the hospitals. The soldiers arc in
consequence alleged and very refractory. The
treasury is drained, the army in arrears of pay, ;Ind
eroibions are becoming 'tierce—they have long been
very bad. The Commanders threw blame on one
another, and are daily quarrelling untoni them-

GENERAL TORRUPOS.-.This officer, who has -Row
been called (rum the constitutional army in Biscay
and Illavarre, to fill the situation of Minister of Wir,
is not more than 3.5 years of age ; active, intelli-
gent, and gallant. He is a good sun, an excellent
husband, and an amiable friend. He had a command
in the army under the orders of the English General
Doyle, by Mond he was taken by the hand early in
the war, and never dropped ontil he was made colo-
nel of the Tiradores de Doyle, wkich regiment he
brought to a high state of discipline, and led must
gallantly-to victory ou many occasions. There nr,
two remarkable events in this offiter's -life. lie is
the person who was selected by General Doyle to
lead a sortie from Turtesa, in 18.10, under the eve
of the Captain-General Henry ODonnel, and in
presence of the whole Spanish army u 1 that division:
his orders were" to drive, witli It* grenadiers, the
Freneh piquet' from a certain height, and take post
there." lie gallantly obeyed the first part -of the
order, but disobeyed the latter part by following the
enemy into their encampment, when, after an heroic
rcsistence and great kv,ri, he was obliged to surren-
der, General O'Donttel, now Count of Abisbal, the
but officer in Spain, said to his army." I will

When the Tiradores .(light infantry) of Dayl.o
joined General Murillu's division, Torrijos cam.
lihslied in it a lodge of Freemasons, called Doyle'a
'lodge. Upon the return of the King. Torrijos was
arrested, and thrown into the Inquisition: for many
months it was reported, Lind partially believed, dint
he had been put to torture and ultimately strangled;
Ent there was no truth in the first statement, and it
Is nonecestary to say the second is untrue, as be new
lives to serve his country, which he will ;bedaubs do
with-zeal and gallantry. He is particularly partial
to tn.: English, and cordially hates the French.
1. II r. Etst.r.cismao.—General Don.Juati Mania,
called the Linpecintulo, is now in command alone of
the centitutional armies in Spain, and perhaps no
-man has served his•cowutry with more enthusiastic
zeal ur gallantry, and yet he -is ono of those officers
who has been marled by the displeasure of the King,
• whenever an opportunity has ofiersd.
It is Luc, the representation made by tire Empe-
cinado to his Majesty, in the year 1815, yoke such
impalutable truths to the royal ear, that Martin (like
Mina) was obliged to fly from Madrid sad (mutat/
himself.
Amongst the various achievements of this extra-
ordinary person, one has been made known in this
country by a celebrated artist, whose lecture of the
Etnpeeinado's attark upon a •French convoy, inid
making prisoner Marshal Moncey's mistress, was
seen in the exhibition at Somerset-house.

. •

He is in the prime of life, about 43 years old,
particularly hardy and active; his leibits ate Fops-
lur, and those of a pliin country man ; sober, early
in and out of bed, and in constant exercise.
Ile is a staunch friend to the Constitution, and
the French will find him aLitter enemy. •
