CONSTANTINOPE, APRIL 7.—We extract the following
from-the official Gazette on the subject of the recent changes
of the Ministry :
" Copy of the firman addressed to the Grand Vizier :
" Vizier—lt having been needful to remove from his post
Fethi Pacha, the Minister of Commerce, and the department
of commerce being so important as to require that it should
be made over to a suitable person, it has been transferred to
the Grand Admiral Said Pacha, who, besides being perfectly
conversant with such matters, is one of the most faithful of
my Ministers. •
"It being no less necessary that the high post of CapudaX.
Paella should be confided to an individual brought up to the
sea, and as it is well known and admitted that Tahir Pacha,
member. of the Council of Justice, is completely acquainted
with everything relating to maritime concerns, and is moreover
a man of judgment and talent, he has been appointed to the
Capudan Pachalic.
" It having been further requisite to remove from office
Reschid Pacha, Minister for Foreign Affairs, and place in the
.direction of that department a fitting individual, I have ap-
pointed to it. the Musteshar of the Grand Vizier, a man of
judgment,' rectitude, capacity, and worthiness, who has been
raised on the occasion to the rank of Mushir (Ptah of the
highest rank).
" I have totally deemed it proper that Fethi Paella, and
Reschid Pach'a should remain in their own houses.

" Let the investiture of the new Ministers take place publicly
at the Sublime Porte. The post' of Musteshar of the Grand
Vizier, vacant by,the elevation of •Rifaat Bey, being of import-
ance, let a suitable person be selected for my approbation.
May the Almighty enable you to fulfil the useful duties you are'
called upon to perform."
It is sa'd pensions will be granted to both the ea-Ministers.
The Sultan, yesterday, paid another visit to the fleet. He
was accompanied by Riza Pacha and the gentlemen cf his
Court. Ile went on board the Mesoudiye, where he was re-
ceived by Tahir Pasha, the new Capudan Pacha. The whole
fleet saluted when his Highness went ashore ; the ships' crews
• manned their yards and shouted " Bin Yasha," which we will
this time translate •"The Sultan for ever."

Husret Paella:, when sent into exile, was overloaded with
debts, which ha...has . been hitherto unable to liquidate corn-
-4pletefy, timie another- terui,s6,-a- year•-ha. teen
given to him for satisfying such of his creklitors as yet remain
unpaid.
A report having got afloat subsequent to the removal of
Rescind Pacha, that the Government had determined on aban-
doning the reformed institutions, and returning to the old
system of administration, official notes have been communicated
to all the foreign missions by the Porte, assuring them that no
such abandonment will take place.
Last Wednesday an odd occurrence took place here at the
Yemish Tcharsi (fruit market). • A Persian trader had a dis-
pute with a Cavass, and from high words they came to hard
blows. The Persian, apprehensive of the mauling which he
richly merited for striking a police officer on duty; snatched
from the belt of the latter one of the loaded pistols, with which
the Cavasses go armed, and made his way to the shop of ano-
ther Persian who deals in tobacco and tumbeklii.' Pursued by
a crowd he took his station at the door, and declared that he
had no intention of injuring any one, if left alone, but that
he should most certainly blow out the brains of the first man
who attempted to seize him—he drew also his camma (abroad,
two-edged, finely-pointed 'dagger), arid 'showed such a deter-
mined countenance, that all hands, bayonetted soldiers in-
cluded, stood aloof. Matters. continued in this state for about
half an hour, at• the end of which time the Persian ambas-
sador, wlio had been advised of the affair, arrived with his
guards, and escorted his refractory subjects to the,Sera.skeriat,
where, it is concluded, the dispute was readily arranged.
. .

For the last three days successively the Council has been sit-
ting. to devise measures for the amelioration of the finances of
the State.

ALEXANDRIA, Maßeit 30.—Since the departure of the
Oriental nothing of importance has transpired here. We are
still without any official news from Constantinople. Six or seven
thousand additional troops. have arrived in Alexandria during
the last few days. The plague has somewhat increased, and has
spread among the Pacha's fleet. The captain of No. 8 (of the
line) died of plague two days since, and in Cairo the cases are
about 10 daily. Ten 'in: cotton were sold by auction this
morning 13 77i-100 per cent. The Emmetjee packet came
in last night from Beyrout.. Be the accounts she brings it
appears the French are actively intriguing there, and
the Acheron, in her last trip to Beyrout, took there 125,001)
francs • for distribution among the Catholic Christians and
Druses, while many agents are actively employed in exciting
mistrust and ill-feeling towards the English.. There is much
discontent among the mountaineers, who complain of harsh
treatment- by the Turkish Governor, and have really benefited
nothing by the exchange of masters. • Colonel Napier re-
turned by the Emrnetjee;having accompanied to Syria the
Syrian hostages, whose arrival there caused great excitement
and rejoicing among the mountaineers, but the French had
assumed among them all the credit of obtaining their release.
Colonel Wiibrahim, with his staff and fifty artillerymen, was
at Beyrout. One of the French political agents, Count Ber-
tona, arrived here by the Emmetjee. l'ne plague was com-
mencing in Beyrout, and the infected districts surrounded by
military cordons. The Count had broken 'the cordon, and re-
ceived a wound in the affray with the 'Turkish soldiers, but
succeeded in getting on hoard the Emmetjce.
APRIL 6.—The cases of plague in Cairo axe now reduced to
four or five. Ibrahim Pacha set the example there of putting
his harem into quarantine, which was fullowed by the principal
Turks in Cairo. Here the Europeans have' coinmenced their
usual precautions, the cases averaging about 15 daily.
A French frigate arrived to-day in 16 days from Brest, to
replace the Embuscade corvette in this harbour.
Six Giraffes are arrived in Cairo on their way to France, in-
-tended, it is reported, for 'Russia.
TLrahinr Pasha is in good health, devoting his whole time to
the superintendence of his estates near Cairo, and apparently
not•intrlferffik in

Fortification's are still creating, and a body of between
:20,000 and 30,000 troops are in the vicinity of Alexandria, but
the news by this steamer has quieted all tears of seeing hos-
tilities renewed.
