REVOLUTION AT CONSTANTINOPLE.

We have received Mitch papers to the Ist in-
Rae. the contents of which are of importance. A
Revolution Ills broken out at Constantinople, in
which Mustara* IaACTSR. whose energy and
talents had excited so much expectation, has fallen.
This:. the third revolutionthat has taken place within
a few months. It was effected by the Janiasaries,
wily were discontented with the reforms introduced
by this enterprising and active chief; they storm-
ed the Seraglio; and to avoid falling into their
hands, he blew up the palace in which he. resided,
h/asiag previously strangled the hate Sultan
dlta-
Tat'NA. There is nothing in the 'account to enable
its to ascertain the character and conseqwence of
this change, whether it is likely to be favourable or
unfavourable to British interests. Some expecta-
tion, it seems, was entertained at Paris on the 20t Is
last, of the speedy return of Diarottox to that
city. We have also received a letter from I lolland,
of a later date than the papers, which state. that
Austria had recently. made some military move-
ments that excited strong suspicions in the army
,11th Box stsAtin. has left to observe her. It
adds, that the latter was coucentmting itself to
guard liKainst surprim., end to be ready to act
culler ur upon the defensive, as circum-
stances sliculd require. •

The reinforcements for Spain, assembled at
Portsmouth, received, us ive stated laseireek, in-
inactions not to snit until further orders; part of
the force ens landed on Wednesday, and the rest
remained no board, except the (nice" who occa-
sionally came on shore is the dey. Friday alter.

nem, loweset, Were wee received for the troops
to proceed to Conlon& The Fuger{ Capt. Bor.-
eon, and the Primer°4e, Capt. Mean, sailed on
Saturdey afternoon with the transports (about 39
sail), which have the detachments on board for
the Scots Royals, Oth, 43d, soth, and se-
veral other regiments. Major-General FKR‘USON
Ruhl Major-General ()Torr, sailed in the 1 isgard.
The transports with the Guards, and the 87th awl
nsth Regiments, should the wind continue fair,
were certainly to follow last morning, under con-
voy of the Mak, Capt. !FARING, and the /sis,
Captain M‘Lsoo. Major-General SHERBROOKE,
Major-General Talton, and Brig.-General CAM 1.-
BELL, go out with them. The 140 Artillery Dri-
vers, with 600 horses, which were disembarked on
Wednesday, have no orders to go.
Government are not in possession of any recent
facie, but those communicated by the last
dis-
patches from Sir Joux MOORE. upon the orris al of
which they countermanded the sailing of tl esc
troops from Portsmouth. This new fletertnitiation
has therefore been formed upon the principle, that,
in the present state of inicertaint), of the evils
which they contemplate, to contii.oic sending off
troops and ships to Spain is the least. It is
hoped, though on very insufficient grounds of confi-
dence, that we may be able to bring away the
Spanish ships from Cadiz and Corubsiia, even if
Bo 11 A PARTE ihollid gain possession or those places.
The most prevalent opinion, however, is, that
Sir JOHN NIOORE must sacrifice at least a part of
his cavalry to preserve his infantry.

There arc no fresh arrivulsfrom Spain, and should
the who, continue to blow from the north and cast, it
is possible that we may not hear front that country
before Parliament meets on Thursday. But the
Speech from the Throne, will not he finally settled
until the latest possible time. We understand
that it is meant to mention in Ili. Meresee's
Speech, the Partition Treaty signed by Roman-
sow, between A rtassnza and NAPOLEON, for the
division of the Turkish Empire. Covernmeut have
not as yet received any advice' from Mr. ADAIR ;
but dispatches are impatiently expected from Con-
stantinople, and even from Vienna. If those powers
ever make ■n effort for their emancipation or pre-
servation, it must be (lone speedily. The recent
events at Constantinople do not, however, allow us
to hope for any assistance to the common cause
rout that quarter.

Letters were received in town, on Saturday, from
Gottenhurgh, by the Jaw, arrived at Leith. We
underidand that they are dated the 3d or 4th inst.
and that they do not bring any intelligence tending
to enidirtn the report of the King of SWUMx bay-
ing been obliged to shut his ports against England.
That such, however, mint be the result, we have
uo reason to doubt. He must make peace with
Russia, and the latter, acting under the influence of
NAPOLLON, will not make peace upon any other
term%

A Messenger arrived in town. yesterday. from
the Brazils with dispatches for the PORTUGUESE
AMBASSADOR. We have also received private letters.
from which we have made extracts. They are im-
portant to the commercial world.

Five of the outward.bound East India fleet, viz.
the Cumberland, eaffnells, True Briton, Lord
Melville, and Sealeby Caude, arrived at the Mo.
therbauk from the Downs, on Satorday, and the
whole were under orders to sail this day. The tio-
riade frigate, Capt. Batuns, takes them under con-
voy. Commissioner M Att, for Madras ; and Com-
missioner Shield, fur the Cape of Cuod Hope, are
arrived to take their pas,kge in the Cioriade.

During the course of Else last eight-and-twenty
years.sinci the silt-render of Lord CORNWALLIS'S
army, before York Town, towards the close of
17:11. there• has not been a tirteion of Parliament
which tl.ilitti,llN to °pelt under riremnstances so cri-
tical sand ll,ilOcrlCiOtas as that about to confluence
on Theirolay ',ext. The event to whirls eve have
alluded, Otte Iligence of which arrived in Loodon
only *labia ferty-eight hours before Parliament
met, may be said to have terminated at once Lord
NORTH'S Administration, and the American war.
Though consider • change in His Ma-
Jiacrs 's Connell" at this time, as an event of all
others the most fortunate for Great Britain, yet we
leniently trust it will not he produced or accelerated
by any calamity in Spain, similar to the Capitu-
lation in 'Virginia, which in 1781 was productive of
at change of Ministers. That the present Cabinet,
by its ignorance of the true points of attack, by
its precipitation at • some periods, and by its vacil-
lation or prornistination at others, nod, if passable,
~till suture, by the little intrigues that have dictated
their injudicious selections or stepercessions in
the field, are fallen into general disesteem ; it
would be time lost to attempt to prove the re-
trospect--the last seven months 'offices to place
in the niost conspicuous point of view, their sitter
inaptitude for conducting public affairs, at so un-
precedented an emergency as the present; during
that whole time the Spanish nation has been in
arms to resist NAPOLT.UN While he,Tor more than
half the period. compelled by the necessity of as-
ambling meant wielittate to the sobjagatios of
Spain, was absent at Patio, oir in Germany, bow

did Ministate employ or improve that invaluable
interval? Did they manifest any knowledge of
the points or places to which the British arms
ought obviously to bare been directed ? Did they
display either wisdotia or arrangements or ii.fonna-
Lion, on any of those fpialities which Europe de-
mands iii her present west perilous position ?
Have they merited or justified the uulimited iron_
!deuce, and us unlimited niciuss, entrusted to them
during the prorogation ofParliament ? In no one
of all these essentials hare they answered the just
expectations of the public ; and tbiey are now abunt
to meet the two Houses. under circumstances fair
more disastrous than any that bare occurred siuce
