alarming extent; want of provisions;
and many other alarming reports OF
minor consequence. The only fact
that can be relied upon in the arrival OF
the despatch, which remains with the
Secret Committee Of the India House,
consisting of the Chairman, the De-
putty Chairman, and the Oldest Dircc-
tors. The particulars have been OF
course transmitted to the Government,
but no statement which can be relied
on, has yet transpired; the secresy
which is observed has occasioned all
the reports, and the alarm remains
undiminished. Globe.
We are enabled to say most posi-
lively that the above statement is un-
founded. 1t may be necessary to OBJ
serve, that the military operations "a
gainst the Burmese could not, in con-
sequence Of the rainy season, be re-
sumed before November. 1t, there
fore, cannot be expected that any intel
lieence from the seat of war in India
could reach this country before Febru-

BY the Madrid papers Of the 2sth
ult. it appears that nine Constitution
alists were executed at Corunna, for
crimes alledged to have been commit
ted in July, 1928.
Letters from Madeira state, that on
the 10Th ult. Cabinet Council was
held at the Escurial, at the close Of
which'it was asserted that general
amnesty would appear, with the ex-
ception of only ten Chiefs of the Revo-
luton, and that Nj. Zea Bermudez had
received orders from the King to fur
nish an opinion on the propriety OF
granting a sort of Constitutional Char
ter. The conduct Of the Spanish au-
thorities, however, but i'll accord with
this report, for arbitrary arrests were
still the order Of the day in Madrid,
and the police had even gone so far as
TO issue an order commanding all the
inhabitants to deliver whatever books
might be in their possession, and all
papers printed since 1920, to the Gu
rates of their respective districts, who
were to return such as they considered
proper to remain in existence, and to
burn all others.
It's stated in letters from Vienna
that very serious dispute arose be-
tween Russia and the Porte towards
the end of September, on account OF an
arbitrary act of Achmet Aga, the Tur-
kish Military Commander at Jassy.-
This individual having quarelled with
Moldavian officer, had him decapi-
tated without trial, and in defiance OF
the treaties made with Russia, by which
the safety of all Moldayian subjects
was provided for. The remonstrances
of Russia, and her demand for repara-
ton, are said to have been treated with
contempt by the Porte, and to have led
TO declaration, on the part of the En-
peror Alexander, that he would no long
er submit to the insults which he had
.bornt< from desire to avoid an open
ruptuye. These threats caused great
alarm to the Divan; and on the l4th
Oct. they came to the resolution to dis
miss Achmet Aga from his post.
