CONATANTINOPLII, July '9s.—We have been exposed to
some new alarms, but they are passed. 'the Jansen. vexed
that it was resolved to disband them, set fire to the Turkish
quarter called Casein, Bscha and the Arsenal, while they
were pillaging the hotel of the Aga of the Janissaries; the
fire extendrd itself to the palace of the Captain Paella, who
was absent, two st.irehonses tilled with sails, &c. A ship
of war at anchor in the Arsenal broke loose, and set sere-
ral vessels in the canal on fire. The Aga of the Janissaries
hastened thither, and by his prudent measures bindere I the
progressof the fire, and at length extinguished it. The lire bail
already communicated to the 'mat Sittirnani and menaced the
quarter of Feast., when the activity of the Aga checked it.
The Sultan has made him a present of 25,1)0(1 piasares.—
Thirty soldiers, taken in the fact of setting houses on fire,
were punished with death. It is supplsed that 1500 houses
are consumed.
Another letter of July 25th, estimates the number of
houses burnt at ',it'd°. and adds, that since July 15th.
Ikere have been partial burnings almost every day. They
are particularly directed against the property of the Mr.
DIAS, much bated by the people, who believe they are the
cause of the bad condition in which the ale sirs of the P.ire
are at present. The Sultan five days after the great fire
repaired in pomp to the palace of the Grand Vizier, to ask
the Brand Vizier to assist at a Ilrand Divan. This measure
is not in general adopted, but in the most stormy times.—
The present Sultan has only had recourse to it twice before.
The tenths of this Divan are not known, but it appears
that the most energetic measures were resolved on against
the disturbers of public peace.

SPAIN.

Extract of a letter from Madrid, dated 18th August:—
" The Duke d'Aneouleme arrived at Port St. Mary's. on
the 16th inst. at night, which is eight days sooner than
what was proposed when he left this place. An opening
has been made for entering into negotiations, but the oo-
vernment at Cadis have declined entering into them with-
out the mediation of England. Ultimately, France
mug accept of these terms, and if our tiovernment coines
forward, I have great hopes that affairs will very soon be
am aged.
" The communication with Cadiz is now rendered very
difficult in consequence of the blockade, both by sea and by
land, being rigorou.ly enforced.
" I have already mentioned that all persons taken up
and confined for political opinions had been liberated
at Burgos, and that this was only a prelude to the same
general measure throughout Spain, and a confirmation of
what I have previously announced, that France had adopted
a more liberal policy towards this country. inclosed, I now

We received this forenoon, by express, the Pilote of yes-
terday morning. The intelligence it communicates is o(
more than usual interest. By the despatches of the Duke I
of Reggio, it appears, that the brave garrison of Coritnnal
had been at length compelled to enter on a parley ; but that
the terms for which they were struggling were such as were
consistent with the firm attachment they had shown to the'
Constitution, and with the noble spirit they had displayed
throughout the siege. The account of the Duke d'Angou-
leme's arrival at Port St. Mary's, is confirmed; and the news
of the death of the Pope is announced from Lyons by a
telegraphic despatch. The intelliz..nce we may now ex-
tract froroCadizonnsi, it seems, be of the highest importance.
The following are extracts from the papers received :
