For some days past lhe earth through winch the miners WeTe boring was of such dcscrtp- ton as to admit leakaga from the river oi 600 or 500 gallons a miante, but as they were approaching more favorable soil, DO appre.
 hensions of any danger or interruption until about six yesterday evening, when the men engaged at the extremity of the excavation,
 observed the leakage to increase rapidly, and
 in a few moments afterwards, portion of
 the earth gave way. and the water rushed down in a torrent. The workmep fled tow ards the shaft tn the greatest terror, and ut
 ;ering loud cries of alarm, while the water
 rushed after them with the greatest rapidity. They ascended the ladder five at time, e
 succeeded in reaching the top in all except single individual in safety, who was missing for a few minutes.-He was soon however observed to be struggling in the wa ter in the shaft, where it had by the time ris- en to a considerable height. Mr..Brunnel, Jun. quickly descended to his aid. and succeeded in rescuing him from his periious situation. at the moment that his strength was almost exhausted. From calcu- latiOns made by inc engineer, from the prog ress of the water in the shaft, it IS supposed that about cubcal foot ofthe earth under the river must have fallen into the tunnel, where it had been recently excavated, and before the patchwork had been raised to supp port it. It is attributed to what miners call "a fault" in the sOl-that is, the meeting of the two layers ofearth, where the water has always the least difficulty ininsinuating itself. The engineer does not state his apprehension of any obstruction. arising from the accident, to the progress of the work. He expects to have the water all pumped out in a week or two. and be then able to resume his opera tions. The greatest difficulty with which he will have to contend will be, the dread which this alarm will have left oh the minds of the workmen. As is generally the case on such occasions, the accounts which circulated in the neighbourhood were fall of fexaggeration. It is d matter of congratu.ation, that when the lives of so many were suddenly placed in such jeopardy, none were lost. Besides the workinen there were two or three visite IS in tunnel at the time, one of when was a female whose feet, ID the retreat, were actually washed by the water; and one of the excava-' tors it is said,was obliged to dive under the steam engines to reach the stairs.

 This last week, a married woman in the town of -, who had been working in a cotton factory,

From French Pupers.

Odessa, May 8.-ssLptters from Constanti- nople May 9, announced that the Sultan has dismissed from his office, the Seraskier Red- schid Pacha, and appointed for his successor, Aga Pacha, who commanded the troops in the Bosphorus. The latter had been succeed ed in his command by Chosrou Pacha, whom the Greeks call Topal Pacha. It is inferred from the disgrace of Seraskier either that the Acropols of Athens has been delivered, or that the siege was going badly on."
 A report is current that the Sultan has com manded the Refs Efendi not to receive any note from an European Minister relative to the Greeks. This report is also mentioned in private letters.-AWgs. Gaz.
 Paris, May 27.-Since the report of spec dy and powerful inter, ention in favor of the Greeks is generally spread, the interest which is felt for that unfortunate nation manifests it. selfwith fresh ardour. M. Eynard is gone to London to terminate, ifpossible, the affair of the Greek boats.

 Conssnsiaopls ArriI e6.-The RAmazan has noi hindered the ambassadors of England. Russia end France from making applications to the Reis EIEendi on the subject of their proposals for the paci6cation Of Greece. On the 18th, the DragOmans of these ministers waited on the Ehendi, and atter hearing him invoke the justice of God, and the assistance of the prophets, received for an answer, that " the words arrangement, paciication, and suspension Ofarms, employed with respect to the Greeks, appeared to the Divan to be eX- pressiOns out of place; that the revolt of some Greeks scattered about the Ottoman Empire would have been put down long ago, but for the assistance they had received from Eu- rOpe," &c.
 This answer did not appear to the Drago- man to be of a nature to be reduced to writing; but they inferred from another equivOcal de claration, that formal answers in writing might be expected from the Porte after the Bairams, (lst May.) the En- glish Ambassadors invited the other tive ministers to repeat the application on the goth. But whether by design or chance, the Russian Dragoman arrived sooner than those of the two other legations; and not finding them, returned to Bujuedure, where Mons. Ribeaupure has resided ever since the answer given him at the beginning of the Ramazan. No further step has been taken. and this ac- cident seems to have occasiOned some discus sion oflittle importance among the European Ministers. Augsburg Gaz.
 It is now confidently stated that His Ma iesty has written letter to the Duke ofWel- lington requesting him to resume the com mand of the army which, however, his Grace has declined.
