TUNIS.

A letter from Tunis announces, that on the 13th
ult., at two A.M., a fortress within a short distance of
the town had exploded. The houses within the gate
Beb-Sadoun, together with the Turkish mosque,
were thrown down by the shock. A cannot fell from
the top of a tower on the Corn-market. All the
magnificent mirrors in the Seraglio and in the Barde
have, been broken to pieces ; a windmill alone is left
standing.

Letteis from Tunis also announce that the state
of the Bay's health is alarming. One arm and one
leg have become entirely paralysed, and the Bey has
not been able to take the baths which he usually uses
every year.
