CONSTANTINOPLE, SEPT. 13.-A great crowd was yes-
terday created in the diplomatic circles of Constantinople
by the sudden intelligence of the dismissal of Perteff Pacha
from his office as Minister of the Interior, and also of his
brother, Emir Effendi, from the post he held in the Ord-
nance Detartment, and of the appointment in the place of
the former of Hadji Hakif Effendi, the ex-Reis Effendi. The
circumstances which have led his Highness to the adoption
of this hasty measure are yet untirely unknown ; it will,.
however, be a piece of news but little grateful to the ears
Lord Ponsonby, not only in that Perteff Pasha was of all
the ministers the one who most supported British influence'
here, but also that Hakif Effendi, having been the individual
whose dismissal his Lordship so positively insisted on on
account of the Churchill affair, will of course now in 105
turn do all in his power to oppose the views of his Lord-
ship. In the official announcement of Hakif Effendis
dismissal in the Ottoman Gazette at the time, the reason
assignej was his being unable to attend to his duties on
account of ill-health, which being, as is stated now, re-esta-
blished, his Highness has thought proper again to recall
him to his favour. Should this turn out to be a Russian
intrigue, which it doubtless is, his Imperial Majesty will
find that, though perhaps he may have got rid of one of
his most implacable enemies in Perteff Paella, he will have
gained no friend to his interests in Hakif Effendi ; his
powerful opposition to the signing of the treaty of Unkiar
Skelessi is well known. It is not improbable that the old
Seraskier Husreff Pasha will now again con e into offi
since it has been entirely owing to the powerful influence
of Perteff Pacha that he has hitherto been kept out of
favour.

The Prussian officers to whom I have alluded in former
_
communications, have not been received into the service, of
the Sultan, and placed on the staff of the Seraskire Pa"
clia ; but no rank or command whatever has ben given
Clem. They arc, it is stated, to be paid by their 0%1
government ; but in addition to houses, horses, a'
servants, with which they are supplied by the
they receive each 2,000 piastres (20/.) a month for their
mess. Since the arrival of these officers Lord PonsonbYr
has been exerting himself to obtain the employment ,
Colonel Considine, and it is reported he has so far suc-
ceeded as to have received a notification of the S.A;itan's
in-
tention to receive that officer into his service.
The Smyrna Gazette, in a letter front iViexandria, dateci
the 27th ult., states that Mehemet Ali was still at Candi°'
but that it was expected he would, now soon return t°
Egypt. Port,

A boat came in from Circassia last week, bringing in-
formation of the safe arrival on the shores of that country
of Mr. Knight, a young Englishman, who, having Trade a
tour in Asia Minor, hearing on his arrival at Sinope that
the Circassians were in want of ammunition, immediately'
set about purchasing all the powder and lead 111 could pos-
sibly obtain, both there and at Samsour, and having sue;
ceeded in collecting sufficient to load two boats, gall6.nr'‘,.'t
set sail with it to make it a present to the Circassian chle'"
and after being once obliged to put hack on accaunt of the
Russian cruisers, has at length succeeded in gettiag through
this so-called impassable blockade, and was of course re-
ceived with open arms by the gallant Circassians.
The celebrated Dr. Bulard arrived here from Smyrna, by
the last steamer, after haring been loaded with every ho-
nour the grateful inhabitants of that city could possibly heap
upon him, in return for the valuable services he has rendered
them. On his departure he was honoured by a salute from_
the castle, which was also repeated by the ships of war of
all nations in the harbour. It is his intention to enter the
Greek hospital here to prosecute his inquiries into the nil'
ture and causes of the plague, and he will afterwards pro-
ceed to Trebisond for the same purpose. The disease,
however, I am happy to say, has now almost entirely (11.1,
appeared here, though it still continues to make dreadful
ravages in all parts of Roumilia.
I have this moment received information that perteff
Pacha left Constantinople this morning for Adrianople,' }lt:
which place he has been banished by the Sultan.
cause of his dismissal is only known to his Highness 1,115
self ; but his being so hastily sent out of the capital w°
es
lead to the supposition that some important disco
have been made against him. His brother also i to
exiled us soon as he has rendered up his accounts.
