ISII PAPERS.

R.
Fre ch Paper44.lto the Ist instant, and the .f.toik
Sunday, have arrives. The latter contradicts an article
which ha& appearedjn the Pilote, under the date oC
Vienna, September 20th, and which stated that Con-
stantinople was in ruins, and that the Stilt in and his
son had been massacred by the people.
Letters from Venice state, that information had
reached the Austrian Naval Department at that place
of the arrival of Lord Cochrane with a few ships at Na-
poli di Romania, and of two divisions of the Greek fleet
having immediately set sail. The first was reported to
be under the command of his Lordship in person, and
to be intended to act against the Captain Pacha, while
the second was to operate against Alexandria. TheEtoik,
however, considers this intelligence as premature, and
maintains that Lord Cochrane had not quitted the wa-
ters of Messina, but was still waiting the arrival of those
steam boats, the want of which, at the appointed time,
-has brought Greece within a few degrees of its ruin.
The Journal des Debate gives a private letter from
Lisbon, dated the 16th ult. which announces the ap-
pearance of two fresh Decrees from the Princess Regent.
The first directs the Superior Courts of Justice, the
Council of Finances, aril the Junta of Commerce, to
investigate the inconveniences and abuses resulting from
the present organization of public tribunals, the distri-
bution of the Judges, and the mode of trial, and to re-
port upon them, in order that they may be removed.—
The second seems intended as a compliment to the first,
for it merely orders that all the laws, ordinances, de-
crees, and instructions, issued since the Ist of January,
. 1603, shall be collected and deposited at the Hotel of
the Ministry of Justice.
We have also received Dutch and Hamburgh Papers
to the Ist instant. An article from St. Petersburgh,
dated the 16th of September, asserts in very positive
terms that the Emperor and the whole of the Imperial
Family would return to that capital early in the present
month, instead of repairing to the army in Bessarabia.
Meanwhile Moscow continued to be the seat of splendid
fetes, in which the Duke of Devonshire excelled all his
other competitors. General Paskewitsch, with two
divisions of Infantry, and General Illowaisky, with
20,000 Cossacks, had been sent to the frontiers of Persia,
there to receive further- orders. By his M .jesty's com-
mands, all soldiers wearing the honorary medal for
twenty years faithful services, had been asked whether
they would continue to serve with triple pay, or receive
their honourable discharge, in order to accept, beside
their pension, a more comfortable situation, on which
they were to decide freely.

THE LATE FLEE AT CONSTANTINOPLE.

The following extract of a letter from an English mer-
chant, dated Constantinople, sth of September, 1826,
contains some particulars of the late conflagration in that
city, which have not hitherto been known to the public :

44 We have had one of the most dreadful fires that

ever devastated this unfortunate city. It took place on the
31st ult. at seven A. sr. and burnt till mid-day of the
Ist inst. The port itself is included in the ruins, as
well as an immense number of the konaks, or town-
residence, of the great—as many as 3.5 khans, though
solidly built in stone ; and, as to the number of houses
and shops, they are incalculable. It began at &ape
Capousie, inside the Seraglio point, and extended across
the mien to the •edge of the Marmora, in which direc
Lion it extended as far as Yeai Capi.

N The space burnt may be considered as nearly as
possible one-twelfth of the whole city on that side the
port ; but it comprehended, perhaps, the greatest part of
the riches of the place; and, although the poorer classes
are the least affected in the first instance, the whole com-

munity will more. generally feel it in the end. The
distress is, in fact, Arcady beyond description, and, as
usual in this country, no combined means of relieving
it are even thought of Khans had been considered
safe, and a great mass of property had been hurried

thither under that idea, when the *hole became after '
wards* prey to the intensity of the flames. A greal
rnanyklives have been lost in the same' manner, and from'
Vizor Khan alone 1.1/ bodies hav?already been 'es.;
tracted ! The muslin dealers have neatly all had theit
shops destroyed, but their property, with the exception
of scimething belonging to Hagi Asfaudur, has been
saved.

44 The Jews were not touched in any way whatever.
The French merchants are less fortunate, I believe, as
the cloth bazaars suffered much, particularly a khan
where the property was unfortunately comideted safe."

A Dutch Mail has been received this morning, but
its contents are unimportant. Perhaps there could not
be a more felicitous comment on the mighty doings that
were to have taken place at Ackermann, than the sub-
joined account of the very pacific manner in which the
Turkish Plenipotentiaries snr)ked their pipes at an exhi-
bition of tumblers on that far-famed arena.—The fol-
ing are extracts :
