which at hrst prevailed, full quarter of on hour
elapsed before my effort of this sort was attempted;
ana during this space, upwards of two hundred of
lthc persons who had been precpitatcd below, but
had not been seriously injured made their escape by
the windows of the cellar and OF the travellers ROOM
Another most fatal consequence of this delay was,
ha nearly all those persons who have lost their lives
amounting to no less than thirty, actually died from
sn6ocaiion, few comparatively having been killed OH
the spot by the depth of the fall by being crushed
with the falling materials
All those who were but partially injured having
ehcctcd their escape as already mentioned those who
remained unable to move, being rather more than
forty persons, were eXtricated from the rubbish and
carried oat of the cellar. Such as appeared to be
dead were deposited IN the yard; while those who
were still alive were conveyed into different rooms of
the house, and placed in beds.
The dead bodies were removed, as soon as they
were owned by their relatives to their respective
places oil abode. The number taken out dead, was
twontv nine; and one poor woman, Of the name of
Hoaly, died OF her wounds this afternoon
Martin has been pronounced guilty of setting fire

PARIS, March 3o.--It appears certain that ncppci-
atoms arc going - be resumed at Constantinople on
the questions relative to the treaty of 9th july but
only with Count Guillcmnot and Mr.. Stratiord Can
ming, who will stipulate in the name of Russia as
r well as of France and England. Russia has con-
sented tQ rClounce its claim TO be directly renressn
ted at the Porte this Is concession of great impor
lance, which removes the chief difficulty that Ias
been experienced in the eXertons made for the pa
citicatlon OF Greece. The Dvan, while it showed
itsef disposed TO listen TO the conciatory proposals
of France ana England, had constantly refused to
# receive Russian Agent neyotiator in the af.
fairs OF Greece; and NJ. Jaubcrt who was sent by our
Government to Constantirupe 10 smooth the way
met with Insurr1ouutable resistance ON this point
! ROME, March I7--It Is now reported to be
probable that the election 10 the Papal Chair will

; nothing positive can be affirmed beforehand on
this point, yet this report seems 10 merit some al,
tentton.
GREECL.--A decree has just been issued BY the
president by which Greece is divided into Is de-
partinents, Of which the Morea includes seven,

this.

Che Greek army is placed in very daurero1s s;tna

VIENNA, MarchgI.-The mail from Constantine
PIE OF the 23tn Of FEB, has arrived very late & brings
nothing OF Importance. The new Grand Vizier had
not arrived in the camp at Shuma at the date of tho
last accounts nor had any news of military operations
been published either from the Danube or BULGARIA.
The chief attention of the government is directed 10
the means OF obtaining for the supply OF the ca
pltal and the army. One Of the measures adopted
IS the sending away Of considerable number Of Jews
who have gradually come and settled in the capital
and cannot give satisfactory Of their means
of subsistence.
1t appears from the French papers received to-day
IN Paris of 2o,oe0000 Of francs. for tho avowed DUR
pose Of prosecuting an expedition against the Mox
can States. We do OF believe this intelligence; at
any rate we are quite satisfied that they will not he
able to effect loan among the French for any such
purpose.
