BRUSSELS, JUNE 23. I he Smate, in its sit_
tin.. yesterday (twenty-seven ;Members hoing present) agreed
law
to fort
the I::
s:,bmittcd to the King for ha sanction.
Dr. Martins, heionging
at Constantinople, arrived at Brussels on Saturday. with the
immediately to the project. of
treaty of commerce concluded between our Government and
the Ottoman Porte.
As early as four o'clock on the morning of Friday
a numerous assemblage of persons were present to witness the
attempt to blow up, by gunpowder, the Canonmills-bridge.
The work of destruction did not., however, actually commence
till six o'clock, when the trans communicating with 12 charges
of gunpowder of four pounds each, inserted at ea-h base of
the a.-eh to tke depth of about four feet, were set fire to; and
by the time the men employed get fairly away seven tremen•
d .us explosions took place, carrying away the chief of the fronts'
of the base of each arch. Many pieces of one ewt. each were
thrown to the distance of ten, twenty, and thirty yards. Mai
of the windows in the vicinity were broken by the concussion,
and one large piece of stone struck the shutter of the Post-
office at the corner of Inverleith-row, breaking it and the win-
dow, and an iron balcony in front very much. Still the bridge
was left standing. The workmen, however, cleared away the
foundation of one side of the bridge, and about eleven o'clock it
fell with a tremendous crash, doing no damage to any one.—

NAVIGATION OF THE LIFFEY.---We perceive
by the Irish newspapers, that Mr. Stede is about to publish
letter to General Sir John Burgoyne, developing from some
engineering elements, perhaps not heretofer, J„: ,
