We have already spoken of the Hospoilar of
Prioce Karadju, whip, with his family,
and a great part of his r fleets anti canary, has fled
to t7rmastaalt, because his blends in Canytantitiople
informed hint that his repested refusal to give up
his office before the expiration of the term of seven
years. fisril in the tteattes, had drawn upon him
the displeassute of tise Sultan, which might cease
his refusal to cost lulu his life. The time for
his reusing from bib post is Hot till August,
ISlfl. It is impanfible, at the first monsent,
to tears, all the particular- of this event ; but it
teems to lie affirmed, on good authority, that the
Hotpoint's son-in-14w, 1114.114 e! Suzzo, first Dra-
goman of the Porte, who is kiiiissildevirouts of ob-
taining the office, is the prisicipal cause of this
event. The Flospothr will ask the interference of
the Russian Ambassador, Baron Sirogonoft; anti
probably obtain ,t, because the revel' veers dura-
tion of the dignity of Hospodar iv founded oil a
Treaty with Russia.
