REDSHID Pscas.—A correspondent writes from
Csnasstinopie, on the 21st ultimo, to the Indeprisaance
Beige: For some days past there has been notbieg bat a
succession of rumours concerning the regret that the Sultan
experiences, it is alleged, at having accepted the resignation
of Bedabid Pasha, and how he formally intends placing him
again at the head of affairs. It is said that Redsbid Fiche
has turned a deaf ear to several overtures that have been
made to him on the subject, and that in order to overcome
his repugnance, there is a gnostic@ of reviving the post of
Devitt Nssiri, which formerly ealoted for a time. The
rank nearly corresponds to that of a president of the
council without a portfolio in France and England, but it Is
vested with greater authority, sines independently of the
presidency, the Devlin Naafi is the Sultan's lieutenant,
or rather his altar ego. It is the very highest position a
subject can aspire to, and as yet there has been only one
precedent of this kind in the 'Pinkish empire. It is not
believed that Itedshid Pacha's nomination to these impor-
tant functions will take place before the Bairam ; that Is to
say, for near), three weeks totems.

cluding upwards of 40 firemen, the flames raged fiercely for

were also burnt, and the ems penter's work.hops, &a., se-
verely damard. The lose, which is heavy, will fall upon
