The remainder continued on their route with
all the haste they could. The Biscayans
shouted piUus for religion and the King and
it appears that the mass of the inhabitants of
the province is completely hostile to the new
system.
The royalists Of Renccvaes being informed
ct the movements of the troops sent against
them, have divided into several parties The
day before yesterday one of these guerias
appeared on the heights ofSesso, and stopped
the post. boy with the mail but after IA few
minutes conversation, allowed him to pro-
coed on the road to Madrid.
The detachment ofthe regiment of Toleda
which was sent againt the royalists, after
being vigorously repused, had fallen back to
Pampeluna in very bad state.
The accounts from Andalusia represent that
province as still under the influence of the ul-
metropolitan and ultra-impious party. The
news from Corunna is, that the famous Epoz
Nina, not finding sufficient support in his
projects, has resigned the command.

Psennd, Dec. 49," The rulnors which
have been i'll circulation here, during eight
days past, respecting the state Of things in
Constanilnople, are not as yet confirmed
That capital presents a most alarming aspect
the excuses and assassinations continue in des-
pite of the orders of the Divan and other au-
thorities, and even the efforts of foreign Minis
ter, who recommended tn the Porte u more
rigorous vigilance. Impartial persons COM
pare the present state of things to that OF the
month of April last, when the massacre of
the Greeks commenced. Bnt things now are
carried to greater excess for it is not ex.
clusively the Greeks who are objects of the
fury ofthe Nlusselmep Christians are also i'll
treated. On the esd instant, NJ. Chapper, at
tached to the English Embassy, and exercis-
ing the'functions of Drogonlap, was assaulted
IN the open street, and pursued to the very
door of his residence, by band of these
ruthless fanatics. He saved himself with
much difficulty. This outrage induced Lord
Strsngford, and Count Lutzow, the Austrian
lnternuncio, to present a very energetic note
to the Porte, re urging the adoption of meas
ures Tor the security of the Franks but all
orders to this effect are condemned.
"The disafection OF the Janissaries has
been recently manifested, as usual by fires :
which, however, were happily extngushed
before any serious mischief was done.

" ConStantinople, Nor. Co. Our fears daily
increase for the last week we have been wit
nesses of the most dreadful events. The gov
eminent refuses to lend an ear to the advice
OF the foreign ministers. The Austrian min
lster, who had for fourteen days, in vain desir-
ed conference with the Refs Effendi. on the
last refusal, Immediately demanded his pass
ports, and by this means, as well as by the
intervention of the English Ambassador, he
at length obtained an audience, at which the
English, French, and Prussian Ambassadors
were also present; but they effected nothing.
as the Sublime Porte explicitly declared that
1t never would grant the demands of Russia.
and thus war is inevitable.
"The tokens Of dreadful events already
manifest themselves. hevenerable heads of
the unfortunate Callamachi have been exposed
Tor tw" days, and in every street headless
corpses are found. Night and day we hear
the firing of pistols, so that we can count the
victims who thus fall. The government again
published strict order yesterday, for every
Mussuman to have his arms in readiness, and
ne prepared to march at the first summons ;
1t is even said, that the Sultan himself will
take the command of his army; meanwhile
these bOod-thirsty people carry on war with
the Christians, who are the peaceable inhabi-
tants of this capital.
The confusion is increased by the arrival
OF the fleet which is now before the harbour.
The Captain Pacha has hung the yards
OF his ship with rs dead bodies, being the re-
mains of his Greek seamen whom he had
hanged as sign of victory, on his arrival in
the Dardanelles."

for the present, and adjourned, condtionally.
TO the 10th of January. Sentence of death
has been passed on seven prisoners, as fol-
lows THE two Gradys, for attacking the
house of Mr.. Morgan at night, and terrifying
him into a surrender of his arms. This case
was aggravated by the novel and atrocious
eXpedient of forcing forward the wife and son
ofthe injured party, TO give such testimony,
under the influence oftear, as would if credit

of the father and husband. The five remain

John HstOn, John Mullane, and Timothy
Shea, were then consigned TO the same fate.

tended. Had any thing occurred in the
