INSURRECTION AT CONSTANTINOPLE.

We received this morning, by express; the Etoile,
dated yesterday, from which we mike- the follOWing
extract describing a sanguinary insurrection of the Ja-
nissaries at Constantinople on the 15th June :
PARIS, JULY 10.—The Government has received
very important news from Constantinople, which is
published in the Dale of this day.
" On the 15th June theiJanissaries revolted at Constan-
tinople on account of the Nizam Djedid. It was reported
among them that this new organization was by virtue of
a decree of Soliman, yet notwithstanding this they took up
arms. Sultan Mahmmid returned immediately from the
country, caused the standard-of the Prophet to be hoiSted,
and summoned all the faithful to it. Eight thousand
Topschis have assembled, and turned their cannon
against the Janissaries, • who, for three days, defended
themselves in the - streets and in Their quarters. All
those 'Who did not submit, have been exterminated. On
.the 19th tranquillity was restored. It was not a moment
interrupted at Pera. Sultan Mahmoud has displayed a
degree of energy and courage which was not possessed by
his.uncle, Selim 111., who perished in 1807, m an insur-
rection of the Janissaries against the establishment of the
.Nizam Djedid.
" It is thought that this revolt will render the Divan
more accessible to the representation of the great Euro-
pean powers, who require the cessation of bloodshed in
'Greece." • •

The following letter has been addressed to a house
in the City from the Admiralty, dated July 11,
1826.

Gentlemen—Having laid before my Lorda Conunis.
sioners of the Admiralty, your letter of yesterday's date,
requesting to be informed, whether some vessels destined
with valuable cargoes, for Smyrna and Constantinople,
may,. by calling at Malta, be. able .to obtain protection
through the Archipelago., I am commanded by their
Lordships to acquaint you, that upon application to the
Admiral or senior officer, the vessels you allude to will
'receive such protection as may be deemed necessary.
I am, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
(Signal) J. W. CROKER.

The Allgenteine Zeitung, and Frankfort Papers to
the sth inst., have reached us this forenOon. ft will
be seen by the following extracts that a most destruc•
tive fire had occurred at Osterode on the 27th ult.
Shocks of earthquakes have been felt at Inspruck and
at Zurich.

lIANOVEII, JUNI3 30.
In the night of the 27th,, a fire broke out in the town of
Osterode on the Hartz, and the wind being very high
from the N. 'W., it could not be extinguished till the next
morning, Nearly fifty houses, and a great number of out-
.were destroyed.

SPIRES, JULY 4.
We have just lost by death our venerable Bishop,
Mathew Von Chandelle.

GIESSEN JULY 3.
A few days ago, the order which generally prevails
among our students was interrupted in a very melancholy
manner. As false reports may be easily circulated, and
mislead public opinion, it is on .many accounts desirable
that a short account of the most essential particulars should
be published. The following is strictly conformable to
the truth :
Within a short time several duels have taken place
among the students, which induced the Academic Cham-
ber of Discipline to institute an inquiry, according to the
existing laws. Some of the students considered this pro-
seeding, though strictly legal, as unsuitable, or even un-
just, and were soon joined and .encouraged by
many 'others. Without further reflection, they re-
solved to quit' the university, and almost the whole
of the students went to Gleiberg, a neighbouring Prussian
town; ProfeSsor Relger, the rector, having immediately
taken the most necessary steps. The Senate desiring on the
one hand to assert its
,own dignity; on the other, to give
. the deluded young men an opportunity to return to their
duty; resolVed to fix a certain time, before the expiration
of which they should unconditionally submit to the laws,
Ibr, in ease of refusal, suffer the severest punishment that
the University could inflict. Meantime a rescript from
the Government fully approved. the measures that had
been taken, and even allowed, in case of need, an increase
of the punishment. . Tha students, however, becoming
Sensible of their error before the expiration of ;the time al-
lowed, submitted. An amnesty has not yet been
granted,
but an investigation into the whole affair is now carry-
ing on.

The First Report of the Select Committee, ap-
pointed to enquire into the BUTTNR TRADE OF
IRELAND, and to report their Observations and Opi-
nions thereupon to the House of Commons, has been
printed. The Committe state; that having continued
their examinations to this late period of the Session,
they are deprived of the' opportunity of giving a decided
opinion 011 the laws regulating this Trade. They,
therefore, submit the evidence to the House, with this
observation alone, " That illegal practices, and unau-
thorised fees, have been most clearly proved to exist in
many markets;.. for the correction of which, the Com-
mittee regret that the lateness of, the season precludes
them from recommending any specific measures : but
the whole subject, cannot in their opinion, -h e too
soon brought under the notice of Parliament in the
ensuing Session." The Iteport adds, " That in the
mean while, the publicity which this Inquiry will
give to the abuses already referred to, may lead to a
more vigilant attention in those respects, on the part
of the Magistracy and other local authorities in Ire-
land."

Butter forms so general and necessary an article of
life amongst all classes in this Country, that we trust the
attention of the Legislature will be directed in the
next Session, not only to the Irish Butter Trade, but
to the supply and price of Fresh as well as Salt Butter,
in this Metropolis. It is well known, that when the
price of Salt Butter in Ireland, is Ms. or 60s. per
cwt., the price charged for it in this town, is 13d. or
I4d. per lb.; and that Fresh Butter usually sells at the
enormous price of froni 18d. to 22d. per lb., while 30
miles from London, it may be bought for Is. per lb.

. .
This Trade must afford 'such an enormous profit to
the dealers, that we are astonished that during the age
of Companies, Butter Companies had not been esta-
blished, as well as those for the sale of Milk.

A variety of Accounts relative to that most mag-
nificent National Establishment, Greenwich Hospital,
have been published by order of the House of Com-
mons. It may not be uninteresting to our readers to
learn some of the particulars given in these Returns.
This fine Asylum for our worn-out officers and
men of the Royal Navy has, upon its in-door esta
blishment, 100 Officers, Clerks, and other Persons b

The amount of all these Out-Pensions was no less
a sum than 291,7801. 9s. 3d. ; which sum was de-
frayed by a vote from Parliament on the Estimates of
the Navy of 260,0001., and 31,7801. 9s. 3d. of the
Surplus Revenue of the Establishment.
The care which this country takes of her worn-out
seamen and soldiers, is one of the most honourable
features in her history, and the immense expenee which
she incurs for this benevolent, but just purpose, ought
to be known, not only within her own territories, but
throughout the nations of the world, to whom it may
be at once a proof of her power and justice, and an
example for their imitation.

By private letters received from Bury this morning,
it appears that apprehensions of renewed disturbances
were entertained in that quarter. This may probably
arise from the circumstance of some pieces of artillery
having been sent to the disturbed districts, as a precau-
tionary measure.

A letter from Smyrna, of the 10th of June, states
tluit a French vessel of war had just arrived from
Napoli di Romania, and reported that the advanced
guard of Ibraham Dacha's army was in sight of that
fortress when they tame away.
