The Councillors shall be heard in all affairs of importance, and in the general measures of public administration, particularly when there is • question of the declaration of war, treaty of peace, neccutiations with foreign nations, as well as on all occasions in which die King moposes to exercise some of the rights of the mo d e r a tiue power pointed out by Article 7.1, with the exception of the lith paragraph. The Councillors of State are responsible for the counsels they give contrary to law, or in such a manner as to lead to ntani fest prejudice. lit As soon as the Prince Royal shall have attained his 111th year, lie shall be admitted of right a Alember of the Council of state. The other Princes of the Royal Family must receive a riornleation from the King before they can enter the Council of :st:te. Constantinople hare shared the same fate. The corps of the Top. chis has alto been rigorously purified. We expected the famous Ahoul-Abou-Pachs, one of the Captains of Djrzar Paella, who defended St. Jean d'Acrc agsinst Bonaparte. It is affirmed that. the brave !Cala !betterment Itrahim Aga, officer of the Topchis, is, or will be, wade a niche of Two Tails, and will reside in Galata Serai.. The Porte is in search of some rebellious Mama who have hitherto evaded its vaigeance. Those of the 49th and 641 h le gions were strangled yesterday ; three others perished to-elay by order of the Seraskier, Hussein Paella. The Sultan has allowed the Ulemas to return to their hotels except the Alufti, the two Kaziaskers on duty, the Ancient, Cherikhul, Islam Dori Zatli, anti Rabin) Bey, formerly Kaziasker of Anatolia: those Alagis testes remain in the Imperial camp. Some servants of 51irla Rica, the Persian Charge d'Afisr ts who, to the surprse of every body, has not yet set out for Tausie, mixed among those who plundered the barracks of the Elmeidan ; these strangers got a gond share of the booty, which was, However, authorized. The opening of the taverns has been permitted on the following conditions. Wine shall be sold at 16 pans per oke, (shout 18 contains a bottle), brandy at 40 pane. The great taverns shall be obliged to keep two fire-engines, the small ono; only one. They shall he exempt from the duties which they paid to the Odjak of the Janissaries. The police shall watch them strictly. This measure is a mark of security in the Government ; and, at the same time, a means of superintendence. We hear much of a restoration of the coin of the Sultan, who, perhaps. feels the necessity of no farther injuring this basis of public and private prosperity. The corps of the Terrass must be discontented. These usurious bankers, who have always made immense fortunes, cannot behold without uneasiness the re.eatabliabment of nn order of things which will dry up the sources of their wealth. Mee have ro' yet spoken of' the number of the victims of this memorable revolution, which is doubtless exaggerated by public report. but it is not below s x or seven thousand in the capital and its environs. That of the exiled is more considerable, fifteen or sixteen thousand, some say twelve thousand; fir every man who does not offer sufficient security a obliged to quit the capital anti return to his country. We may here mention a report, to which credit is generally given, th ugh no written trace of it can he found. The displaying of the s ae rtd standard is always marked by twelve thousand victims, and till this number is complete the standard is not carried hack to the Imperial treasury. However void of foundation this opinion may be, it is ro deeply rooted in the minds of the people that it niust not be passed over in silence. PAWS, JULY 25. We have received accounts from Constantinople of 27. h June, on the correctres.a of wh:elt our readers may depend. All the nr ws given this morning by the Journal des Debuts has no foundation but re ports inserted in the A ngsburg Gazette, to which that Journal itseif atteches no importance. It will be seen that it is false that no courier has left Constan tinople since the 24111. Ile who brought us these news set out on the 27th. Sultan Mahmotul continues his reforms in the interior of his palace. He ens uragea his Minister's in their labours by . his ardour and personal applic ition. He remains night and day in the S ra g io, leaving it on'y fir a few moments to vis:t the imperial family that remains at Best h kt It is positively affirmed, that the Sultan has declared, by a tu. tog a th resc ipt, that the property of the Itirtjahr, and other offi• cers of Cove nment, shall no more be confiscated, even thong they are punished with death. The Su'tan has despatched the Hasseki Aga to the Pacha o r Egypt, with testimonies of his satisfaction. The firemen of the guard at the Grand Vizier's palace guided the within who pr - e:!a ed into the Harem of his Ilighnese. on the night of the 14th June. instead of defending it. A pat( of the homy whic't they carried off has been found in their quarters. After this ciscovery they were delivered to the Bostaugi-liachi, to be tor tured before they tire put to death. The Seruskier Hussein Pacha thinks of nothing but regimema, musketa, and uniforms. kleantime, he does not forget to lock tiler the guilty. li e has offered 10,000 piastres f i r the head of an Gusts. It is believed that Constantinople and this Canlieve will be under cotranand of seven Nelms; Osman Paella, formerly at the head of the Custom-house at Constantinople, ali enemy of the late Hale! Effendi, is one of those whom it is intended to employ in the capi tal. Ku:chuck Mehemet, Paella of Anatolia, will have the go vernment of Galata. A garrison of regular trews will maintain security in Pere, and the old and new Vassaktchis of the European Legatiens will be re placed by a guard of honour, which will be reiieved ever) 24 hours. The tumult which took place at Adrianople on the 15th June was appeased with as much success as that in the Elmeidan. The l'acha had collected 300 organized troops, who entered Constanti nople lost Friday. Several thousand men are already inscribed at Seresker-Kapoussy. Those new soldiers are very diligently ester. esea, but there is co uniformity in their first instructions. and the, feel the n cessity of having tood European teachers, whom thee eagerly look for. This military enthusiasm influences people's minds, and already carries them beyond due bounds. Tartan from Ibrahim Faclia,who arrived yesterday, the 2fith June, and who have been invested in the camp with pelisse s of honour, have announced the occupation of twenty-four villages in the district of Zaconia, in the 4lorea, and tire arrival of Ibrahim Paella at Ambelakia (the gardens opposite Hydra). The Pacha is said to have taken 3000 risoners in this military oaeration. We are enabled at length t sent our readers with a translation of the long-anticic , ated Portuguese Constitu tion. It will be perceived that our conjecture respecting its similarity to the Brazilian was perfectly correct : it is, in great part, a complete transcript of that act, and the only variations arc those which were rendered indispensal le from the differences in the circumstances of the two coun tries. We cannot help looking on this Constitution as a subject of congratulation, as well to this country as to Portugal. As a proof of the power of England in bringing about an event which it must be owned is by no means such as many of the Continental Monanhs desire, this act of DON Psnao is to us, no doubt, a subject of well fotinded exultation ; but as a proof of the uprightness and philanthropy which animate this nation, and are commu nicated from the nation to its governors, it is a subject of the proudest satisfaction which any reople ever had the will and power to acquire, or the benevolence to enjoy. The influence of England has been and is now a ground of jealousy to sonic foreign potentates, and the connexions be tween us and Portugal have been one of those branches of our influence which have been most obnoxious to the am bitious views of those powers. If we continue to display our influence in such acts as this, we may laugh at the utmost efforts of the united force of all the Conti nental Sovereigns. Their subjects by this act must be convinced that the friendship of England is the surest guarantee for their liberties, and the safest means of preventing their oppression. England by this act has placed herself still more decidedly at the head of the liberal party throughout Europe ; for no one will at tribute the decision of Don PEDRO to any cause hut the suggestions of the English Minister. The conclusion which the people of Europe must draw from such premises is obvious. The plan of Mr. CANNING is evidently founded in the nature of man, and in the deepest resources of policy. Its effects, though not apparent in vrtin rial acquisitions, are surer and more beneficial than any which could have resulted from conquests. The Constitution granted to Portugal by the influence of England must show to all the people of Europe, that the increased influence of England is of all things what is most to be desired in their respective countries. We arc confident, however, that bis Majesty's Ministers did not follow the course which they have followed from any calculation even of this sort. The principles of liberty ought not to be sacrificed even to the interests of England ; and if any attempt should ee er be made to infringe on national independence, in the hope of benefiting England, we are confident that our efforts them to oear great evils, as not coming unexpectedly, i t frequently makes them too much depressed under trifling or imaginary evils. The consequence of this is, that wh eit objects of their terror come to be actually emppled with, they find them much less than was anticipated, and are consequently puffed up into a degree of cordidalicc 23 much greater than is warranted by the reality, as dick former depression was too great in proportion to its cause. They vibrate thus, as it were, between excessive prosperity a n d extreme distress. The merchant scatters all his ventures abroad, in the one case,and in tlr_ other, withdraws his en. terprise, even from the surest speculations. We I t ", chewed repeatedly that speculation had bacii misdirected before the late crisis. Instead of altering its direction, our capitalists have withdrawn their capital altogether rum commerce ; whereas, their true plan ought to hare 1 een, only to employ it in such a way as would produ ce real, instead of imaginary riches. CITY. THURSDAY EVENING. Another day has passed away without any particular event to mark its progress. It generally happens that, in the absence of information, some kind souls set their in. genuity to work, and get up a little news: but even the faculty of tuvention has been allowed to take a short va. cation, although the arrival of some foreign mails ortred an opportunity for its exercise, had it not been otherwise engaged. Consols opened at 77, advanced an / during the Clay, and finally closed at 771. There has not been w much done as yesterday, but still, generally, it has been uponascaleof improvernent,as compared %jai thelast week. In the Foreign Market, Northern Stock retains its price, while in South American there has been but little movement, Colombian closing at 321 1, and Mexican at 1.41 to 1. Brazilian Mining Shares are the only security in which there has been anything like business, and they closed L per cent. better than yesterday, being at 13 prem. The letters from the manufacturing districts to-clay are not of a nature to quiet the fears entertained for their tranquillity. A deputation, composed of persons of respec tability, from these districts, has arrived in tow n,in order to have an interview with •Mr. Nom, which is &sated to hie taken place this day. It is said also that a meeting of the unemployed operatives of Spit&lßMs has, been appointed for this evening, to be holden in the neighbourhood of Bethnal-green ; its particular object being to petition the Government for relief. It does not appear what that relief is to be, unless indeed, they can induce his Majesty's Mi nisters to purchase the stock on hand from the manufac turers for ready money, which are the only terms on which they are disposed to part with it. The Bank -Directors have had another meeting to-day on the subject of the. Branch Banks, and this appears as much a question of doubtful operation as that to which we have just alluded, in reference to any good they will do in alleviating present distress, titiless, indeed, they can each put an almost us . iimited quantity of money into circulation. In deposits it is to be apprehended their business will for some time to come be of a very limited character indeed. The Mail from the Mediterranean does not bring com munications, as respects Greece, down to a later period than :hose already received. THE ialyws COURT. Yesterday morning, at a quarter-past eleven o'clock, the King left his Royal Ledge in Windsor Park, in an open carriage, attendtd by the Lord Steward of the Royal Household. His Majesty proceeded to Mr. Greenworid's villa, at Brampton, where he arrived a few minutes before one o'clock, on a visit to his Royal brother, the Duke of York, and remained about three quarters of an hoar.

Doctor Stothlart,formerly King's Advocate, and Advocate of the Admiralty Court at Malta, was presented by Earl Bathurst, on his appointment to be President of the High Court of Appeal at Malta, and Judge of the Vice-Adno talty Court, upon which occasion his Majesty was gra ciously pleased to confer the honour of Knighthood upon him. The Right Honourable Vesey Fitzgerald was presented and kissed hands upon his being appointed Paymaster-I.t• neral of It:s Majesty's Forces. The Honourable iVilliain Gordon was presented by Mr. Secretary Canning, upon his being appointed Minis er the Court of the Brazils. The Marquis of Bundy took leave of his Majesty. The King held a Privy Council, at which Mr. Gorden was introduced, and sworn in a Member, and took his seat a: the Board accordingly. Mr. (iceville attended as Clerk of the Council. At the close of the Privy Council, the Recorder of Lon don was admitted into the presence of the King in Coun cil, and made his report of the Convicts capitally convicted at Justice Hall in the Old Bailey. His Majesty gave audiences to the Earl of Ilarrowby. Mr. Peel, Mr. Canning, the Duke of Wellington, and Vi - ccunt Melville. The Earl Delmar and Sir William Keppel were tte Lori and Groom in waiting. The Court broke up about half-past four o'clock. At ten minutes before five o'clock the King left the Pa lace in his open travelling cartiage, on his return to the Royal Lodge.

The Volusia, from Glasgow, was plundered on the :141 lost., be tween Sarpho and Sephante, by a large picots boat, manned a ith about thirty armed Greeks, of fully 43 packages of manufactures, part of the crews' clothes. and all their money ; Captain M'Dou gal was slightly stabbed, frequently struck, and severely threatened, for not giving up at once some gold he had in his pockets. We beg to incluse topics of two letters addressed by the mer chants to Mr. Consul Werry, who is most zealous in his endearmin to further their objects by checking piracy and the traffic in its fruits in every stage. We would more particularly submit to the consideration of the Committee the case of the Perielmexplained in the letter of merchants who had their goods plundered. file Con sul has actually stopped several mall parcels of British manufac tures and cotton twist, which are doubtless part of the plunder, and the merchants, in recommending such a measure, and in pledging the goads which may be recovered this way, for payment of ex penses, or damage incurred, presume on the sanction and support of the Committee of Lloyd's, and of the underwriters. who it might be presumed are the parties most interested in our efforts here on their behalf being successful. Weber, the honour to be, Your obedi.nt humble servants, John Bennett, Esq. Lloyd's . Wii.xEN and Co. Smyrna, June 9, 1826. Stn, —Truly sensible that, for the protection of British commerce in these parts, some more effectual measures than a y hitherto adopted should be taken against the crying evil of Greek piracies, anti the goods plundered being openly brought here for sale, to which you were pleaed to call our attention in your circular letter. dated a few days b .elt, we have given the subject that deep con sideration which it merits, but we hive hitherto been deterred from addressing you n reply, by the difficulty of suggesting any feasible plans for defeating this nefarious traffic. The additional recent cases of the brigs Helen and Diedetn, from London, and the Volusia, from Glasgow, being all of them plundered of goods to a very considerable amount, which, in all probability, will come here for sale, again rouse our attention, however much we may be at a loss to point out either remedy or redress. We assume, in the first rive, as a notorious facts that a great part of the goods plundered from British vessels by Greek pin. - es in the Archipelago have been imported here, as an extensive and ready market, that they regu larly pass at the Turkish Custom-house, on payment of the usual duties ; and that most of them are sold at such low prices as to show they could not have been honestly acquired by the apparent owners. We have consequently, in addition to the pain of seeing g v,ds stolen lento British remelt., to bear with the further evil of seeing them sold at prices destructive of all fair trade, it being evi dent that the merchants cannot compete in prices with these free- bootees. We would first take leave to submit, whether the Drogomai. whose duty it is to attend at the Customhouse, or some other atten tive. vielant, and faithful person, might not most usefully attend at the histom-house to watch closely the unloading of all vessels from the islands in the Archipelago ; and whether you could not direct him to stop or sequester all British manufactures and other goods suspected of being pirated ; for although it be difficult for the merchant to show or prove his property in these goods, since the pirates invariably destroy or leave the original packages on board the plundered vessels, yet it is too evident they are stolen, and may be considered RS so much property lost to his Alajesty's subjects, either merchants or underwriters. The very fact of the existence of an Motion trade in British goods from the islands in the Archi pelago is a conclusive proof of piratical robbery. for hitherto there leis always been an export trade of this descriptir o from Smyrna. 1 would be a point, we believe, of easy proof to show that in more than one of the islands of the Archipelago the constituted autho rities not only countenance, but participate in the piracies which we are complaining of; but as, in addition to the niuch-to•besre •-stted liberty of search allowed to the Greeks, we believe one CO in has been considered by his Majesty's Government as war. ran ed to condemn property, the influence of the authorities in goes nun must be limited. If it were but a temporary measure ooly, it strikes us as one much to bs desired, that British subjects be ap pointed agents in those islands near which the piracies have been committed, and where the pirated property in part is taken for sale. From such agents much good might result, but our experience allows us to hope much less, certainly, from the appointment of people f,otn the country. Apprehending that it will be a work of much time and difficulty to exterminate pirates in the Levant, who, on the appearance of his Majesty's cruisers, take every precaution to remove evidences of their guilt, by concealing their plunder, and by disarming themselves and their craft, to as sume the appearance of quiet, industrious, seafarino melt, we most earnestly solicit you to represent strongly to his M ' ajesty's Ambassador at the Porte, to the Cottimanders of his Maiesty's ships, and to other British authorities, how necessary their vigilant and powerful interference has become to the ptotection of British in terests ; and we venture to add, that in the absence of direct evi dence to warrant the detention of suspected stolen goods, a variety of circumstantial and collateral proofs could be adduced to satisfy every impartial and well-informed man of the necessity of adopting severer messutes than hitherto—such as obligirg the ostensible proprietors to prove their title to the goods by the production of in voices, if fairly bought, or of certificates o f condemnation, if le gally adjudged by the Greek Admiralty Court, thus throwing the onus of proof on the suspected person, instead of requiring the mer chant to identify goods he never saw. Without some extraordinary and vigorous measures of this kind, neither piracy nor this traffic can be arrested in their origin and progress ; and we may presume that his Majesty's Government would sanction every step taken to protect British interests, consistent with public justice and the ho nour of the British name, and at a moment like the present, when on land the Greeks have been driven to their last fortress, and by sea every kind of subordination seems to have ceased—when the Greek vessels appear to have abandoned all hope of success, as well as to have relinquished all efforts against their enemies;---we say, at a moment like this, with a number of armed Greek vessels, with out any chance of existence but plunder them, the prospect is an awful one for British commerce, in the passage of her shipping up and down the Archipelago, without the powerful assistance of every arm which his Majesty's Government can put forward in her defence. We beg to recommend your directing the British Agent at Milo, ream vessels bound upwards usually call for pilots, to ac quaint all the Masters of the dangers to be apprehended from pirates, as a precaution in the first instance ' • and also to desire all the Consuls, agents in the Ishinds, and other places in the Archi pelago, to exert themselves vigilantly in looking after suspected goods, and to report to you frequently the best information they can obtain of the manner in which such goods were acquired, for whence they may be destined, and generally to take every possible measure to detain the same for the investigation of the Commanders of his Majesty's ships, and oilier public authorities. AVe shall be obliged by your transmitting a copy of this letter to his Majesty's Consul-General, begging him to lay it before his Excellency the Ambassador, and we recommend its several points to your own serious and immediate attention. We have the honour to be, respectfully, Sir, (Signed by all the Merchants.) To Francis Werry, Esq. His British Majesty's Consul, &c. ete. Ike. Smyrna. Smyrna, June 17, 1826. Sin,—We, the ttodersigwol merchants, who have lost goods front shitish vessels pits tiered by pirates in the Archipelago, beg leave to represent, that ditierent parcels of suspected British goods, loaded at Sira, on the imperial vessel Pericles, Captain Mario Rigen sovirh, and stopped at the Custom-hoar-e in course of landing, by your orders, have been seen by us, and are, without doubt, part of the property lost; but these goods having been taken out of the original packages, and marks and numbers so altered as to make it extremely difficult to identify them on a first view, we beg to recommend that you order a safe warehouse to be rented. to which these and other similarly detained goods may be removed immediately on landing, there to remain for your decision, and delivery to the hong plc owners, after deliberate investigation, the key of this warehouse to be in charge tif one of your Drogoniatis, or other ;lemons of your appointing. Persuaded that nruch British property would thus be recovered, we pledge, whatever part may be forthcoming to ourselves and the un derwriters, to bear all expenses incurred in furthering the prosecu tion of the just rights of ids Majesty's subjects, who are already stilf,rets to's considerable amount by piracies, and the shaincless traffic in plunder to this port, which again imperiously call for every possible check. and we are convinced that whatever measures you may deem proper to take will be justified by the event. We would also suggest your representing to the commanders of his Majesty's ships on the station, that the pore of Sira is the grand receptacle and immediate market for sale of plunder taken by pirates; and to recommend that one of his Majesty's ships be stationed at that place. where the commander would be enabled to throw impediments in the waof the rubbers anti receivers, more -ied b " Englishman, or other faithful THE BRITISH PRESS .

We have received the French Papers of Tuesday and the P.:toile of Wednesday. From the latter we make a very long extract, under the date of Constantinople, June 26, by which it appears that the success of the measures adopted for the suppression of the revolt of the Janissaries, as well as that of the stew scheme for changing their organization, has been in every respect complete. Our extracts, parti cularly from the Constitutionntl, have run to such lergth, that we have been obliged to postpone several articles of domestic intelligence. [From rEloik t dated Jul S , 26.] lONSTANTiatOrLE, JUNE 26. Since the 13th, Sultan Mahn - mud has always been dressed in the Egyptian costume, a military habit, equally rich and elegant. The Coonk is no longer worn, _except by the Ministers and heads of departments. It is displaced by a shawl. It seems beyond a doubt that the Sultan came out of the Seraglio in this dress on the day when the dangr r was so great. They talk of re f orms and an entire alteration of the Government ; every thing is to assume a new face. Three thousand men from Romelia have entered the capital; they wore the Albanian dress. The Armenian Patriarch has received orders to send to Asia for 2,000 of his nation. to serve as guards to the bazars and the &listen, and as porters in the service of the Admiralty (11ammals). Executions and banish, ments continue. The officers of the Seraglio themselves are sub jected to the most rigorous inquiry ; the oldest servants are trot *pared if they are found to act contrary to the orders of the Govern ment. The corps of firemen is renewed ; it will be composed of Anne. Mans, under the command of the ex-Ousta of the 57th Legion. The corps of artillery will also be re-organized. The uniform will be changed, and the old names replaced by others analogous to those of General, Colonel, Captain, &c. The most severe prohibitions are renewed against affording an asylum to the Irebels. Whoever. after the term of eight days, shall have harboured a fugitive, will himself be hanged, if any one is discovered in the domiciliary visite which will be made at dust time. Dawoud Pacha will becomt an immense barrack of 100,000 square pikes (in extent a pike is twenty-eight inches). The work is already carrying on with great activity, and 300 soldiers superin tend and protect the labourers. The new mosque of Topkhana, built at the expense of the Sultan after the fire of the Ist of March, 1023, and which lied been called :Wile (the Just), has just been distinguished by the name of Felhy Sultan Mahmoutl (Sultan 31ahriroud Conqueror). There has been no execution to-day, hut sentences of banishment continue to restore to agriculture, men who lived at Constantinople at the expense of the people. Ills flightless, when he went on Friday to prayers, in the mosque of Parli Pacha, at Topkhana. saluted with a gracious smile the faithful Topchis, who formed a double line, armed with muskets. The Convents of the Ilikbachis are being pulled down, the founder of which consecrated, above 400 years ago, the institution of the proscribed cotps. The coffee-houses at Galata and Constanti nople, which were the haunts and the asylum of the evil-minded,are being demolished. A great number of shops, which are of no teal use, a e put down ; r e duction is made in the number of men at. tacl;ed to them, and who are not indispensably necessary. The Seraskier and the President-General of the new army are usefully employed in its organization. They ask for all the infor mation that can guide them s and are everywhere inquiring fur French books. to derive from them examples and morals. The Sultan has ordered a manufactory of arms to be established, on a scale sufficiently large to supply all the wants of the empire. For the present the corps of armoutera must finish every week 300 muskets and bayonets. The ex-llostangi is appoin et( inspector of the works at Dawoud Pacha', which are to be terminated in forty days. lie also commands 300 men, who guard the avenues of the capital. Jussuf Pacha, son of Ismael. Bey of Veres, hes entered Con• stantinople at the head of 600 Albanians. It is said that he has left behind him 6,000 men of the same nation. The palaces and houses of the Franks, which have not yet hung out a light, as others have done, have been called upon to do it. All the streets are now well lighted (luring the night, and afford a very new sight in this country. On the '22d the Reis Effendi had sent for the in. terpreters of the European Legation, to claim the Janissaries attached to them, under the title of Vaasaktchis, as guards, sig. nifying that they would be replaced by other gourds, chosen by the new authorities.
