swipe"- ow:he been arrested without any cause being known
wipd by those that arrested them, other than from„
boim Constitutionals. Snme delay is therefore ne•
eau/ for the lawyers in taking their declarations to
son other from them, in order that
worm out something
the awe of their imprment may be designsted. Time
is also obtained for remonstrances to be made and answers
to he received from the Duke d'Angouleme, who by this
Josue, has taken the Government of the country into
lA, ova hands, passing by entirely the Regency.
The Duke has found his honour compromised. In his
or proclamation on entering Spain, he promised that none
Aoold be vexed or molested for their former opinions.
This has no where been complied with, and very likely
wee sharp observations may have been made thereon in
fkw eomrounirations previous to the surrender of Ballaste-
fie. The Absolutiits are extremely angry, but as they
comet express their resentment openly, they wisely have
kept sway from public place these two days past. The
Jhike of Infantado left 31edrid on the 19th, along with
tlte Minister Saez, to join the Duke of Angouleme, before

Yesterday arrived a mail from Turkey, which brought
levers from Constantinople, dated the 25th July. Ihe
shilisaty there are much dissatisfied, and they express their
disappointment in their usual manner, by setting fire to the
city. In the month of July three attempts were made to
ire Constantinople, viz.—on the 13th, 20th, and 24th. The
irst was very destructive, and the whole arsenal was saved
'early by a miracle. The Jannissary Aga was called, on
the 2lst, into the Royal presence, and soon-afterwards 40
of the soldiers most ective in firing the city were put to
death in various ways, and 150 were sent to the Castles of
the Bosphorus. boring the different fires nearly two
thousand houses were destroyed, and one large three.
decker was burnt to the water's edge. In the last one the
Sultan's mosque itself was in imminent danger. The feel•
lisp of the true believers had been rather agitated by a
dreg If rl flight of locusts, a certain emblem of 31allome-
dan dupl, asure, and the plague had also partially appeared
and oJcasioned a few deaths. Trade was extremely doll,
'for by the destruction of the industrious Greeks, the faithful
had deprived themselves of the providers of plunder, and
consequently possessed no riches to pay European mer-
chants for articles necessary to their own comfortable ex•
lame.

A letter Las Keen received from Zany., dated on tlie?.l s
July, which states that the Turkish fleet bad been rein-
forced by twenty ships off Miss*longi. and that great pre-
parations were making to attack this almost impregnable
foams. The Cheeks are represented to be equally active,
and also to be animated with the hest spirit. An army of
LOW men was marching against Patras. Athens, it was
reported, was again in the possession of the barbarians.

Guettes from the Island of Mauritins have been received
to the 30th of April last, bat they famish little word.), of
notice beyond the indications they afford of a gradual re-
covery of the island from the ealamiti•s of fire and hurri-
cane with which it was visited in the year 1821. The
'Gagette of the 29th of March contains a Government no-
tice of the intention to disconlinne the importations of rice,
which bad been made at the public charge doting the re-
markable depreciation of the currency in the Mauritius, in
order to prevent the drala of the specie to India. The
plans adopted at various periods for restoring the currency
to its former standard, had so far advanced towards the
desired object, as to render those importations. as a public
measure. no lenger necessary. The remaining stock of
Tire oa hand, which was considerable, was to be distributed
among the inhabitants at a reasonable rate, thus affording
time to the merchants and planters to provide for the future
supply of'tbs island either by growth or importation.
