tation of political crisis, which it is in
possible for the government, although
supported by large portion of the milit-

from Mexico at Madrid, was extremely

payment Of the Spanish troops. Lettes

which vessels belonging to them were &C.

Portagal.-Lisbon papers to the 18th
ult. have been received, containing dis
match from the minister at the Brazilsto
the supreme junta, in which the Portu-
guese majesty regrets the delay that has
taken place in his sailing for Europe and
contradicts the assertion OF his ministers
at Troppau and Laybach, that he was IN
willing to adhere to the constitution Of
the Cortes. The following is an extract
of letter from Lisbon, dated June IL:
"On Sunday. the 10th inst at five in the
afternoon, fire broke out in the part Of
the junta Of commerce. No public
misfortune since the earthquake Of l755
has equalled this All attempts to stop
the flames were useless, and they DESTROY
ed the whole of the palace in short tim.
The fire was, no doubt, designed, as pitc
and other inhammable matter was fount
in the neighborhood. The damage is in
calculable. The five depots OF acts, tie
most important to the nation, have been
DESTROYED, Mr.. Sepulvido took (though
uselessly) the wisest measures; and tho
commander of an English frigate in the
port sent his engines, and the greatest
part of his crew. A great number OF he
military have suffered throug h their cOu-
rage. An English officer and two sailors
have been dangerously wounded"

AT council of ministers, OF Divan, held
! on the 5th May, most important resoIe'
ton was unanimously agreed TO. viz
That henceforward the corps Of The ia.
nissarIes shall he represented in the Diyan
by three members chosen FROM their own |
! body.
This measure, which may, perhaps, te.
eide the preservation OF the Turkish powell
has been recommended by Jussut, Aga q
the Jsnissaries, who i. well known for BIZ
fidelity and prudence. This experienced
man represented that this was The only meaa
to attach the Jan,ssaries TO the Porte, all
to prevent all distrust. In tie first Dlva'
held in presence Of the three repres.ni'
tives of the Janissaries on the 10th May
was resolved
TO organise the Ottoman army on The H.
ropean footing.
The representatives of the Janissane'
made only two conditions, which were &C.
ceded to- "A
lst. That the dress Of the troops should
moi be altered.
Cd. That the detested name OF NIzunH
Dgedib, which cost the excellent SelIm by
life, should be avoided, and another suIlabl1
one adopted instead.
They are now employed in drawing W
the plan Of organization. which willmake
remarkable era in the Ottoman history.
10 the same Divsn it was debated whs
was to be done respecting the insurrechct
in the Morea, and with regard to tie Gree
nation in general.
he new Patriarch was called upon ogIS
his opinion. The composure and dlgnI'
with which be spoke produced greate
feet.
Another measure which may be extren
ly important in il consequences, but ID,
likewise tend TO inspire The Porte and R
to unpleasant differences With the marl!Iu
powers, is the summons sent 10 all The pm
ical states Of Barbay, 10 Join the Su'laD
feet with all the ships they can equip.
In the summons addressed to these sisp
every thing is said that can iHfame i!ans
cism and tempt cupidity.
