EASTERN NEWS.

CoNstaNtiatopLE, JULY fs.—At length, in their sit
tings of Tuesday and Wednesday last, the Council con-
eltu'ed their investigation "intn the conduct of Khozreff
Pacha, which ended in his condemnation to perpetual ba-
nishment, and Rodosto was fixed upon as the place of his
exile. This sentence w..s confirmed by the Sultan, ant
straightway an imperial firman eras issued, which was or-
dered to be carried into immediate execution la r.ccorn.
wishing this, the authorities thought it necessary to use ex
tmordinary precau. ions. A corps of the newly arrived Alba-
nian irregulars sutrounded the palace of the fallen digni-
tary, and occupiNd all the issues then from. while bodie.
of the same troops were stationed at various command-
ing points of the city and suburbs. A large body of
regular troops was likewise assembled at Balta Leman.
near the Paella's; palace. On the firman being presented
to him, Kiwzre ff was cot foutidt d, and seemed the picture
of mute When he recovered utterance, he ear-
ne,tly begged to be allowed to see the Sultan, but was
told that it was impossible, and that the dtcrce which de-
termined hi,. fate was fixed and irrevocable. A steamer
then arrived, on board of which the unhappy exile, the fa-
vourite of fortune for 36 years of uninterrupted power and
prosperity, the hero of numberless intrigues, rind we flit
the instrument of many crimes, was embarked, and bade,
in a' I probability, an eternal farewell to tine palace-man-
tled banks of the Bosphorus, so long the scene of his al-
Mast unlimited sw y. His harem did not accompany him.
but he was allowed to choose such of his followers as he
thought proper, and to carry away with him whatever he de-
sired of his goods arid effects. His property has b.un con-
fiscated and will be Appropriated, in the first instance, to the
payment of his creditors; whose name is legion, and who
have been summoned by proclamation to give in their de.
mands. His debts amount to an enormous sum, and
claims for twenty millians of piasters are said to have been
already presented. Khozrt ff, though immensely rich, was
never known to pay a debt, partly through unprincipled
rapacity, and partly through the cunning for which he
was so distinguished ; for well aware of the dangers to
which a subject reputed tich was (at least in former
times) exposed in Turkey, he always pre,ended poverty,
and contracted obligations which he never liquidated, with
a view to produce the impr,:s&on that a man se over-
whelnied with debts, and so harrassed by creditors, could
not be wealthy. He is said to possess six or seven mil-
lions of francs in hard cash, besides jewels and other valua-
bles to an unknown amount ; he is also said to possess
in hand upwards of 200 chiflics or farms in European and
Asiatic Turkey. Whether the residue of his property,
after paying his debts, will be restored to him or not,
unknown ; but truly, if all those whom he has wronged
were righted, and all those whom he has robbed indem-
nified, little of his ill-gotten treasure would remain but
the shadow.

This entire consummation of Khozreff's disgrace and
ruin is publicly attributed to his underhand opposition to
the new system, and to the stand which he made in council
for the defence of Nafiz Pacha, on grounds altogether in-
consistent with the spirit of the present laws. Many heavy
courts in his indictment, accusing him of peculation, of
privately encouraging the provincial authorities to disobey
orders which he was directed by the Council to give in his
public capacity, and of extorting presents, as was the use
and wont in former times, from official persons, and among
others from the present Seraskier Pacha, have been clearly
proved against him. Rumours have been likewise floating
about of c,imes of a darker hue, and Sami Bey, the
Egyptian Envoy, has, it is said, produced to the Council
‘• &Inning proofs" of the blackest treason.

true to his known opinions, sets his face against all con-
cession, and has even, it is said, obtained a pledge from
Reschid Pasha not to negotiate with Mehemet Ali. To-
