DreadGh Fire al .Noiaavia.-The Aus.
trnn Observer of the lth August, contains
an affecting account Of a dreadful fire
which has reduced Jassy, the capital Of
Moldavia, Zone ofthe princpalities for which
Russia has been contendng with the Porte
throughout the last half century, to a heap
Of ruins. A melancholy interest attaches
to the details Of this conhagraton which
has proved hardly less fatal to human lie
than destructive TO property. Fifty dead
bodies is stated to have been dug ont of the
rnins. nrl while the flames were vet rng
ing, II was found necessary 20 set all the
mqlefactors, who were confined in the pri
son, at liberty, AS the building in which
they were shut up was found to be on fire
These wretches appear to have made an
ungratelul return for the merciful conside
ration which had thrown open the doors of
the dungeons They prepared to plage
that portion of the city which had escaped,
the most active eXertions Of the magis
.ratcs, and the Inhabitants were required
to keep them in check. The writer oftbis |
sad narrative towards tho end Of his letter,
describes the flames to have again burst
out in ono part of the city. To add to the |
horror of the scene, a storm rugod at the |
same moment. IL would seem that to ar
rest the progress of the calamity was be. |
yond the power Of man, and the letter con.
cludes with the molrnful declaration, that |
"Omnipoence alone can save us from utter
destruction"

peNance, and is rapidly spreading through
the province. The cry of the public is
"Down with the police; the inquistiou for.
ever" You may rely the priests are at the
bottom OF this movement; and il will Ger.
tainly be attended with serious effects

We received last night by EXPIRE oss. French
papers so the 2lst inst. They contain in
toligcnce from Madrid. which confirms all
the accounts already received of the dis
tracted state of the country Numerous
arrests had taken place in the Capital in
consequence of a vast conspiracy discover

object of which was TO create throughout
Galicia and Estramadura, the same insur.
rectonary movements as in Catalonia. ,
Lar~c sums to further the explosion, and ,
to maintain the insurgents, had also been ,
seized, and it is significantly intimated that
the greater part of the coin bore the i'm. |

been secretly encouraged by France in or {
