II is stated that eighteen Of the prison
ers taken at Sandwich have been senten
ced to be transported, and five to be re-
leased on the Lake Ontario boundary line
Fourteen are held in London Jail, to be
set free iffhere be no further disturbance.
The Quebec Transcript says an order
was lately received for the liberation oil
all the political prisoners confined in the
Jail of that place, with the exception OF
the Baron Frateline and Charles Hunter
the advocate, but the order was subse-
quently countermanded, in consequence
of some information received by the Gov
ernment about another intended invasion
of the frontier, in the plans and projects
Of which some of these very prisoners are
known to be implicated. A letter from
Montreal, dated 18th states that the
trial of Benjamin Mott, from the neighbor-
hood of Alburgh, Vermont, came on the
day previous, before the court martial,
The evidence went to prove that Mott
was particularly active in the manage
ment of the cannon at the battle Of Odel
town, which was afterwards taken posses
sion of by the British volunteers.-Ndt.

FIRE AT CONSTANTINOpLE.

A dreadful conhagration has destroyed
the Vizer's palace, called the Sublime
Porte, and which included the different
ministerial and administration Offices
The catastrophe occurred at an early
hour on the 2lst January, and in a few
hours the palace was burnt to the ground
The greater part of the archives, which
were deposited in subterranean apart
ments, was saved, but almost all the pa.
pers remaining in the Offices were destroy.
ed. The loss occasioned by the disaster is
estimated at nearly 20,000,00O piasters
When the flames were first perceived, the
Pachas and all the authorities Of the capi
tai proceeded TO the scene of conhagra-
tion, and exerted themselves with the ut.
most activity and zeal, especially the
Captain Pacha. The toumruck, or prison
of the Sublime Porte was opened before
the flames reached it, and all the prison.
ers were setat liberty. Among the mum.
ber was a notorious robber, lately arres-
ted, and several Ionians belonging to the
same band. Several of these, instead OF
profiting by the opportunity, applied to
the authorities to be again confined, but
it was supposed that most Of them after
wards changed their minds, and decided
upon quitting the country. The officers
of the Sublime Porte had been provision
ally transferred to the palace of the Sc
raskier This is the third or fourth acci-
dent of the kind that has happened with
in fifty years. The last fire took place in
1927, and new palace was reconstructed
in 1929. A Golfer containing 60 Jewels
of great value lad been lost during the
fire, and the Government had requested
all the Ambassadors to have the luggage
of every traveller examined before Ieav-
ing the city, in the hope of finding it.
