TMs change of the Ministry has surprised every one, by the celerity and mystery with which it has been effected. The Ministers were not aware of their let on the evening of the 14th, when they returned from the Palace, nor did they learn it until midnight, by an Officer of the Minister of War, M. Euguie. At. six o'clock • in the morning of the 15th they quitted Madrid. M. Pizarro,on the road to Valencia, with his lady, advanced to the last stage of her pregnancy; M. Garay, on his road to Seragossa,and M. Figueroa, with his. family, on that to Coroona. Permission was refused to Mad. Pizarro to be con finei in Madrid ; her mother, who went to implore the King's favour, received orders to join her daugh ter immediately, and departed at two o'clock ou the 16th. • The Marquis de Casa.lrujo has arrived here from Cadiz on the very day of the departure of M.

VasnstA, Seer. 22.-The 13th of . August was a day of torrorlir Constantinople. The fermentation and dissatisfaEtion which have prevailed for some time among .the people were raised to the highest; pitch by the late events in Siwas (Sebasti), by which some facelifts of the Janissaries had suffered, and by the late promotion of the Aga, who was hated by that dangerous soldiery; and the citizens were already Using its antidotes terror of the near explosion of acts o( violence, which Was announced by several pia cards, when early on the morning of that day a fire broke oat the house of the former Kescirdi Bischi (Lieuteneut of the Police), and spreading with the rapidity of lightning, turned the gloomy espec- tations into certainty. The fire raged the whole day through and till past midnight, and presented a moat dreadful speciscle of the destruction of several quarters of the city. Some thousand houses, two Christian churches, and two small mosques were laid in- ashes. The presence of the Sultan and of all' the Ministers indeed animated the zeal of the persona employed in estinguishing the flames; but the pan row nese of the streets in that closely built quarter of the city, the heat and fatigues of the day increased by the smoke, impeded the attempts to save the houses, and delayed the assistance: Meantime the commotion among the people became more and more alarming, and the fears of a tumult increased. It was affirmed, that in the placards the instigators de manded the deposition of the Grand Vizier, of the High Admiral, the removal of the hermits fialet Effendi, of the Dharabhana Emini, Abdorrabman Bey, and of some others. Fears were entertained for the lives of these and several other persons. The whole of the following day passed io minions expectation, till at length, towards the evening, it was announced that the sick Hach-Ili-Ahmed Pacha (hitherto Captain Pacha) was removed to Bross, and the Hassan Pacha, Governor of that place, sent for to fill the office of High Admiral. During these events the Government doubled its vigilance, to which alone we owe the most perfect tranquillity and safety, especially in the quarter of the Franks, where not only the guards were seg mented and ordered to patrole without interruption both night and day, but several suspicions persona were arrested and put into prison. It was io vain that some malicious persons endeavoured to terrify the Public by fresh alarms of fire, and to delay the re-opening of the public markets, which had,beeo cleared of the goods en account'of the threatening danger. All foreign Legation were requested by the Porte strictly to enjoin all persons of their respective nations not to go out after dark without lanterns, in order to prevent all unpleasant consequences. On the 17th of August there was an emu ordinary Meeting of the Council of State, in, the house of the Mufti. After it broke up, an Imperial Firings was published, in which the People were ex horted to keep peace, order,and to re-open the shops that remained shut in the public markets, aed the assurance was added, that the Government, folly re lying on the zeal and support of the well-disposed in habitants of the Capital and of the Empire, had on apprehension from the intrigues of some disturbers of the public peace, and would know how to punish them with all the rigour of the laws: the Chiefs of the several regiments of Janissaries also appear to es colpete those under their command from the accuse. Lion of having been concerned in causing the lire. — They were dismissed with injunctions to look after all such persons among their body, as were suspi cions, and capable of incendiary plots; and in case of detection to punish them with all the rigour of the statute of the corps. Lastly, to indulge the prejo. dices of the People, who are accustomed to regard the elephant as an animal of ill omen, and to attri bute alt firer to the presence of these animals in Con stantinople, it was resolved to banish all the ele phants from the metropolis, which resolution has beet) alrerdy carried into elect. That in all these troubles, over which the Government has, with equal dexterity and pro decree, thrown a veils the hand of a sediti ous party was at work, appears from the execution (on the 18th) of a public Officer, equally distin guished bjr his immoral character and his remarkable talent for legal subtleties, by name Kaubur Sulei mann Effendi, of the Court of Justice at Galati. — He had been several times tailed from Constantinople ifor his licentiousness and had obtained, towards the end of the Rataden, as it is affirmed, on the inter cession of the Janissaries, leave to return to Con. 1 stantitteple. Ile was suddenly somm mied, under the pretence of the reading of a Firman before the Bos tarigi Pacha and the Topdslie Pacha, delivered to the executioners and strangled, and his body cast into the Sea. , The sceoont of the quieting of the troubles in Siwas, and of the general pardon granted to the in habitants,of that important province, seem equally to have contributed to allay the ferments of people's minds. The happy result is ascribed to the iuterven tion. of Tscheapau Ogle. The new Captain Poch* arrived at Constentinopl , on the 19th Aug. and was received and invested with Ms new dignity in the usual form. !• On the 20th August there was a splendid eider 'Oakmont given by the late Director of the Customs, pow Chief Inspector of the Kitchen, in honour of the Sultan, on his admission among the archers who hit a msrk at the distance of 1100 paces. All the Mi nisters and Grandees of the Empire, who prefer this gymnastic exercise to every other, were present, and were sumptuously entertained ; a countless multitude surrounded the kitchens erectedov here 160 cooks were employed. The Sultan remained till tha evening, and . presented Osman Age, the giver of the feast, with a sable pellisse and dagger, adorued with dia monds. The greatest order prevailed among the people; and the Monarch clearly showed, by this pub lic and ceremonious appearance, how little he fears the traiterooe plots of some malcontents,and how se cure he feels himself in the midst of his faithful subjects. After the inhabitants of the capital bad enjoyed for some weeks a good state .of health, they were suddenly alarmed at the coil of last month by some cases of plague. It appeared among the Armenians and Islanders from the At-alpine: o l and it is to be feared that it will 'prod. T. , FL I ANDE RS MAIL. AIX•LA•CHAPELLE, SEPT. 9.9.--,Yesterday and the day preceding will constitute a reniarkabl. epoch in the annals of Ais.la.Chapelle ; three powerful Nlo. nerds, animated with the 'lime wishes for the re pose of the universe and the happiness of their Pen. ple, made their solemn entry into the ancient city of Ais.la.Chapelle on &sudsy, about five o'clock in the afternoon.

The day following his Majesty. SCCOM. poled by several Generals, went to meet his Majesty the Emperor of Austria, and their Majesties entered together in the same carriage. The Sovereigns were welcomed' with testimonies of love and respect by the' entire population of the city, and by the military, who formed the line, before which they proceeded to their Palaces. About ten o'clock at night his Majesty the Empe ror of Russia arrived, accompanied by oar King. Notwithstanding the lateness of the hour, all the in., habitants went to meet his Majesty's august Ally, whose presence has elicited the liveliest trans.' ports of joy and satisfaction. Numerous salutes efi artillery, and a brilliant illumination, celebrated the arrival of the Sovereigns within our wells. Among the numerous distinguished characters sr. rived here are the Dnke of Wellington, Prince Met. ternich, Count Schecuvalotf, Count Nesseirode, Counts Capo D'lstria, Benuingsen, Czernicheff, Ge nerals Muffling, Thielmann, &c. BRUSSELS, OCT. I.—Her Majesty the Queen of Sweden, travelling under the name of Countess Hiker, arrived here yesterday from Spa on her way to Paris. Numerous Couriers going to Aiz.la.Chapelle, have passed through this city. Report says, that Prince Metternich had declared to several persons that the Congress will not formally discuss any other subject than that of the evacuation of France. The other subjects of discussion which have been spoken of in the P ublic Papers, will only give rise, it is said, to conversations which will not have any diplomatic character.

The inference from this latter form is, that no further prorogation is intended, and that Parliament will certainly meet on the day stated in the Proclamation.

The Austrian Observer contains a very long article on the Congress, in reply to the Courier's, of the 6th of August. , " This article," says the Ob. server, " though it is right in asserting peace to be the object of the Sovereigns, sees the Congress in a very wrong point of view, and its conjectures re specting the objects of it are therefore ill-founded.—. It is the more necessary to notice this, as the Courier is very generally, though falsely, supposed ou the Continent to be an Official Paper." The Flanders Papers, however, which are received to the 30th ult. and from Brussels to the 3d inst. bring the latest intelligence from Aitt-la.Chapelle. They announce the arrival of the Emperors of RusstA and Avner A, the King of PRUSSIA, the Duke of WEL LINGTON, &c. at the scene of Congress, the delibe rations of which were on the eve of commencing. • Constantinople seeps to have been thrown into great consternation by a fire on the 15th of August, 'the acconat'of which is given at length in the German Papers. 4
