CONSTANTINOPLE, DECEMBF.It 26. It was on the 13th instant that the impatience of the Sultan and the whole nation was satisfied. The brig of the ('ache of F.Aypt, which had on hoard the leader of the formidable sects of the Wechabites. Abdall.lli, his Mufti anal his Trea. surer, together with the treiniures pluildered by the Weichabites from the temple at Mecca, awl now recovered, arrived on that day in the port of title city. • The Sultan was immediately informed of it, and the following day the prisoners, loaded with chains, were led through several streets of Con stantinople, and brought before the Divan, After some questions had been put to them, and their answers noted down, they were sent to the house of Mehined Ali Pacha, where they remained for the night. But the Sultan was so incensed at this, that lie caused them to be thrown the next day into the lowest dungeon of the lloslangi Paella. There they remained till the 17th, in rigorous confine ment. On this the Sultan, followed by a great multitude of people, repaired in solemn procession to the Eski S rai (old Seraglio), to receive in this Palace the congratulations of the great men, on the victory over the loVrchabites. After the Grand Vizier, the High Admiral, and the Chief of the Scribes, or I.egists, had bowed re spectfully at the foot of the throne, the criminal Abdallah, with his Mufti and Treasurer, were LONDON, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 12, lsi9. A Treasury Journal of het night says—"" The political opponents of the Minister would carry on a war of five-mid-twe n ty years against the greatest combination of power in history ; they would rescue Europe from slavery ; build up a mighty empire in the east; incur a deist of 800 millions; raise taxation front 17 millions to 70; alter all the arrangements of society to meet the greatest emergencies of the time; and then within three years from the cessation of hostilities, bring every thing round exactly to its old place, pay off old debts, abolish all taxes, and no doubt bring all the dead men to life again.—Truly these are persons of prodigions genius, equal to the wise men of the East." The answer to this frothy ebullition is obvious and simple. The poli tical opponents of the Minister neither propose nor expect any such thing. We will add, that the people, to whom this rhodomontade is addressed, are well convinced that the opponents of the Minister are not weak or extravagant enough to cherish any hopes of the kind. plod they foolishly conceived that debt of eight hundred millions could be paid off in two or three years, they would not have so earn• estly remonstrated against the prodigality and ex• travagance by which it was contracted. They would not have been for twenty years engaged in the nngrateful labour of reminding the Minister, that a day of reckoning must come at last, and imploring his mercy to a brave, generous. and libe ral nation. The politi..al opponents of the Minister opposed this ruinous system, from the full convic tion that the enormous amount of the National Debt defied its extinction within any limited time, and was a weight under which the country would probably sink under the most favourable circuits. stances. They do not therefore complain that the debt is not already extinguialied. They complain that in the fourth year of peace the country is still obliged to live on credit, that it is to have peace loans, and that so wedded are Ministers to their old system, so inveterate are their habits of extravagance become, they have not yet learned to live within their ineans—that they deprecate all idea of economy in the public expenditure, and never practise it but when forced to it by those whore advice and °pillion they have allieeted to despise. %Ye have received the Paris Papers of Monday last, from which we have mule extracts, but their contents are nut of any importance.
