Madrid, July 81. Yesterday, the
church which the duke of Angouleme
attends daily to hear mass, was found to
be on fire, and in 5 minutes after the
duke had retired was wholly enveloped
| in flames. The church was an old build.
of immense size, and occupied whole
square, within 600 PAGES Of the palace
inhabited by the duke. The fire broke
ouA, at the same moment in every part OF
the building, and there is no doubt, il
was designedly set on FIRE. The regency
has caused the arrest Of about so persons
suspected o. this crime.

same instantin several places distant more
than three hHndred feet from each other,
& OF shelving neither fame nor smoke a

the time when his royal highness was
accustomed to hear mass in public, are
circumstances difficult to be explained,
and which caused at once suspicion of
the most audacious viilainy. The regen-
cy took the most energetic measures and
instituted the severest inquiry. Thirty
two persons have already been arrested,
who have made, it is said, important dis
closures. The people of Madrid shew-
ed the liveliest Indignation against all The
individuals OF the revolutionary faction;
they wished TO revenge themselves at
once, but were restrained by our troops
