CONSTANTINOPLE.

(From the _Pate of July 2t1.)
CONSTANTINOPLE, JUNE 26,-,Sinee the 15th Sultan
Mahmoud has always. been dressed in the Egyptian cos-
Wine, a niilitary habit equally rich and elegant. The
cavuk is no longer worn, except .by the Ministers and
64(11 of depart/ileitis : it is replaced by ft It seems
beyond a doubt that the Sultan mrne out of tile seraglio
in this dress, on the very 'day when the danger was so
great. They talk of reform-, and an entire restoration of
the Government : every Thing is to assume a new face.—
Three thousand men from Rumelia have entered the ca-
pitol ! they wear the Albanian dress. The Armenian
Patriarch has received orders to gelid to Asia for two,

thousand of his nation, to serve rel guards to the Baziuit's
and the Iletieiten, and as porters in the service of theAd-
tniralty (Minim's): Executim 1 5 and .hatiishthentsi 'Ott-

of Armenians under the command of the Er Ousta, of the
57th legion ; the corps of artillery will also he reorganised; the
uniform will be changed, and the old names replaced by
others analogous to those of General, Colonel, Captain, &c.
The most severe prohibitions are renewed against affording
an asylum to the rebels. Whoever, after the term of eight
days shall have harboured a fugitive, shall himself be
hanged, if any one is discovered in the domiciliary visits
which will be made-at that time.
Dawoud Pacha will become an immense barrack of
100,000 square pikes in extent (a pike is 28 inches). The
work is already carrying on with great activity, and 300
soldiers superintend and protect the labourers. The new
mosque of-Topkhana, built at the expence of the Sultan,
after the Ist March, 1823, and which had been called

Adlice (the just), has just been distinguished by the
name of Fethy Sultan Mahmoud (Sultan Mahmoud Con-
queror). There has been no execution to-day, but sen-
tences of banishment continue to restore to agriculture
men who lived at Constantinople at the expense of the
people. His Highness, when he went on Friday to players
in the mosque of Park Paella, at Topkhana, saluted with
a gracious smile the faithful Topchis, who formed a double
line, armed with muskets. The convents of the Biklachis
are being pulled down, the founder of which consecrated,
above 400 years ago, the institution of the proscribed
corps. The coffee-houses at Galata and Constantinople,
which were the haunts and the asylum of the evil-minded,

are being demolished : a great number of shops, which
are of nd use, are put down : a reduction is made in the
number of men attached to them, and who are not indis-

lensahly necessary. The Seraskier and the President

General of the new army are usefully employed in its or-
ganization, They ask for all the information that can
guide them, and are every where inquiring for French
books, to derive from them examples and morals.

The Sultan has ordered a manufactory of .arms to be
established on 'a scale sufficiently large to supply all the
wants of the empire. For the present the corps of ar-
mourers must finish every week 300 muskets and bayonets.
The ex-Bolange is appointed inspector of the works at
Dawoud Pacha, which are to be terminated in. 40 days.
lie also commands 300, men, who guard the avenues of
the capital.—Jussuf Pacha, son of Ismael Bey, of Veres,
has entered Constantinople, at the head of 600 Albanian®.
It is said that he has left behind him 6000 men of the
same nation. The palaces and houses of the Franks,
which have net yet htittgout lights, as others have doni,
have been called upon to do So. All the streets are now
well lighted dtiring the night, and Word a very new sight
in this country. On the 22d the Reis Effendi had sent
for the interpreters of the EuroPean Legation, to claim
the Janiisaries attached to them,, under the title of Yas-
saktchis, pr guards, signifying that they would he replaced
by other gaards, chosen by the new authorities.
The Yanaktehis, a great number of whom have been
ftwmany yearn: in the get-vire, mutt have mitsite4
dance of the legritious which eurployed them, took no Are-
ti ve part in the rebellion of their comrades : accordingly
every body feels interested in their fate. They were as-
sembled on the 23d by the Wrgiwode,of Galata, to be. in-
formed of the orders of their Sovereign; they were in
despair. The legation have thought. it, best ,to tell them
to obey the, orders of the Sultan. The interpreters of the
Christian legation have recormnended their old servants to
the Reis Effendi, and ?to the Seraskier, Hussein' Pacha.
Most of them havebeetr or will be received in' the sequel
into the corps which are preserved of the I.ldinberdiers,
Boslangis, and seamen ; *Ong 'the TashaCs of the Go-
vernment. The oldest may reinain borne
r,urin account
of their advanced lige. The Government has fixed the
price of bread, 'meat, and rice, yeducing them to about
three-quarters of what they were before. The number of
Barber Coffee-hotise Keepers" will be reduced, so as to
leave no asylum to the idle and ill-disposed.—The great
barracks of the artillery, above the quarter of Pena, are
going to be considerably enlarged. The palace of the
Itchoglans (the Sultan's pages), called Galata Semi, si-
tuated in the centre of the quarter of the Franks, is to
become the hotel of a Paella, the Commander of a corps
of troops.
The Nazin or Inspector commanding in chief the forts at

he entrance of the Black Sea has bee-rt appointed Chan.
nerlain to the Sultan as a reward for his zeal, and the good
Order which he has preserved among those underhim. Five
vagabonds were strangled at the end of last week in those
Forts. Thirteen Yamacks sent to Constantinople have
shared the same fate. The corps of the Trrpschis have
also rigourously purified. We expected the fitmous
Ahozil-Aboint-Pacha, bOZielfAilbOtit*Ptiella, one 'of the Captains of Djezzar
Pacha, who defended - St. Jean I)'Acre against Btiona-
parte. It is iffirtried that the Kara Djeliennem Ibrahim
Aga, officer of the Topschis, is or will .be Made a Pitch& of
two tails, and will reside in Galata Senti.
The Porte is in search of some rebellious Ottstas, who
have hitherto evaded its vengeance. Those of the 59th
and (34th legions, were strangled yesterday ; three others
perished to-day by order of the Seraskier, Hussein Paella.
The Sultan has allowed the Ulemas to return to their
lintels, except the. Mufti, the two Kazeaskers on duty, the an-
cient Cherskhul, Islam, Puri, Zadi, and Rahint Bey, for-
merly Kazeasker of.. Anatolia; those Magistrates remain in
the Imperial Camp. Some servants of Mirzit Riza, the
Persian. Charge d'Affaires, who, to the surprise of every
body, have not yet set out for Tausis, mixed among those

authorised.
The ppening of the taverns has been permitted on the
following conditions :—Wine shall be sold at sixteen parts
per eke (about eighteen contains a bottle.) Brandy at
forty pants, . The great taverns shall be obliged to keep
two fire engines, the small ones only one. They shall be
exempt from the duties which they paid to the Odjak of
the Jimissaries. The police shall watch them strictly,

Pants, JULY 25.—We received accounts from Con-
tonninople of June 27, on the correctiYess of which our
readers May depend. All the news given by the Journal
des Debals has no fihmiation but reports inserted in the
Augsburg Gazette, to which that journal itself attaches nq
importance. It Will be seen• that it is false that no cou-
rier has left Constantinople since the 25th. He who
brought ue this news set out on the 27th.
Sultan Mahomtried =blues his reform in the interior
of his Palace. He encourages his Ministers in their la-.
bours by his ardour and personal application. He remains
night and day in the Seraglio, leaving it only for tt few
moments, to visit the Imperial family, that remains at
Beschicktask. It is positively affirmed, that the Sultan
has cleclatedi by an autograph rescript, that the property
of the Ridjals, and other officers Of Government, shall no
more be confiscated, even though they are ptniished with
deaths The Sultan has despatched the Hassiki Aga to
the Pacha of Egypt, with testimonies of his satisfaction.
The presence 6e the guard at the Grand Vizier's Palace,
guided the robbers who penetrated into the Harem of his
Highness on the night of the 14th of June, instead of de.-
fending it. A part of the booty which they carried off has
been found in their quarters. After this discovery they
were delivered to the Bostangi Baski, to be tortured before
they are put to death: The Seraskier Hussein Pacha
thinks of nothing but regiments, muskets, and uniforms.
'Meantime, he does not forget to look after the guilty. He
has offered 10,00 piastres for the head of an Ousta. It
' is believed that Constantinople and this Cantiette will be
under command of seven Pachas ; Osman Pacha, formerly
at the head of the Custom-house at Constantinople, an
enemy of the late Halet Effendi, is one of those whom it is
intended to employ in the capital. Kulchuck Mehemet,
Vacha of Anatolia, will have the government of Galata.
garrison of regular troops will maintain security in Pere,
and the old and new Yassaktchies, of European legations,
will be replaced by a guard of honour, which will be re-
lieved every 24 hours.
The tumult which took place at Adrianople on the 15th
June was appeased with as much success as that in the
Elmeidan. Pacha had collected 300 organised troops,
who entered Censtantitniple last Friday. Seven thousand
men are already inscribed at Ser•Asker-Kepoussy. Those
new soldiers are very diligently exercised. But there is
no uniformity in their first instructions, and they feel the
necessity of having good European teaehers, whom they
eagerly look for. This military enthusiasm inflames peo-
ple's minds, and already carries them beyond due bounds.
Tartars from Ibrahim Pacha, who arrived yesterday, the
26th June, and who have been invested in the camp with
pelisses of honour, have announced the occupation of
twenty-four villages in the district of Zaconia, in the Mores,
and the arrival of Ibraham Pacha at. Ambelakia (the
Gardens opposite Hydra). The Pacha is said to have
taken three thousand prisoners in this military operation.
