TURIN, MARCH 31.

Yesterday, our Consul at Algiers, who was here,
threw himself from a window, and died on the spot.
Grief at seeing the changes in our political system
was the cause of this self-destruction.
Last night an attempt was made to carry away the
treasure from the Office of the Minister of Finance.
More than 200 citizens, armed with muskets and sti-
lettoes, frustrated the attempt. The carabineers, who
are very unfavourable to the new system, are ac-
cused of this attempt.
The day before yesterday, the President of the
Junta set off for Alessandria : he returned last night.
It is said that the object of his journey was to com-

municate to the Junta of Alessandria the proposition
of the Emperor Alexander, who promised his media-
tion to Piedmonl, and a Constitution, if they would
put themselves in his hands, and not require the Spa-
nish Constitution. An Aide-de-Camp of the Prince
of Carignano (they write from Alessandria) is directed
to make the same proposal, in case they will be con-
tented with the Constitution of France. The Junta
answered, that they would have the Spanish Consti-
tution, or nothing.

APRIL I.—The Piedmontese Journals are filled
with violent provocations to war with Austria.

The following melancholy intelligence has been
received at Lloyd's : .4 Manilla, October U.
" On the 9th inst. at Benondo, the suburbs of this place, a
massacre was commenced by the native population, first with the
FE encb, and ultimately with all strangers without distinction.—.

Twenty-five Gentlemen, Captains and Supercargoes of foreign
ships in the Cm-eite, fell a sacrifice to these barbarians, and, on
the following day, stxteen Chinese. Everything which they
could find in the houses of the unfortunate people who had fallen
victim., was either burnt or carried off. The loss is estimated
at 400,000 dollars; and the different residences of those who
had been so cruelly massacred, prment the most dreary aspect
of rapine, murder, and devastation, not to be described, and
never to be forgotten."

The Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE had a select
party to dinner, yesterday.
Yesterday, the Duchess of CLARENCE visited the
Duchess of Kerr.

The bill for his MAJESTY'S Coronation Robes ex-
ceeds, we are informed, L'20,000, of which £ll,OOO
falls to the furrier's share. For the black spots on
the inside of the. Robes, no less than 26,000 Astracan
lambs' feet have been required !
