CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY 25.—The extreme rigour with
which the Government proceeds inspires anxiety into the
minds of others who think that the Government ought to
stop in its system of proscriptions, now that the principal
objeet has been obtained. When the Grand Seignor pro-
ceeded on the 16th, the day of the festival of the little
Bairam, in great pomp to the mosque of Sultan Ahmed,
a profound silence, and a general dejection, was observed
among the people. The Sultan was accompanied by the
new troops in uniform, and on the third day of the festival,
instead of the ordinary rejoicings, he ordered a grand re-
, view of three battalions of the new troops with 24 pieces
of cannon, under the direction of the Seraskier of military
evolutions. _ . .

The plague rages in several quarters of the capital, and
does not even spare the Franks. It has shown itself on
board several vessels in the port, and must be, on this oc-
casion, of a very pernicious nature.
MADRID, AUG. 22.—The Duke of Infantado, after his
resignation was received, went to pay his court in public.
He is not exiled; as his resignation was entirely voluntary.
He is a great Lord, and a true cavalier. He is generous,
but he likes neither pomp nor parade. He received the
King at his own expense at Guadalajara, lent him several
sums of money, never received any emoluments, and has
always given incontestable proofs of his disinterestedness.
He was agreeable to the Infants, to the Rpyalist party,
and to the clergy; but as he raised his voice against public
robberies, it is not that he found enemies. It is
believed that he will be succeeded by the Duke of San
Carlos, who has set out from St. Petersburgh on his way
to Paris, and who will thence proceed to Sparn.
The Duke of Infantado had for some time resolved to
give in his resignation, and nothing could prevent him from
executing his purpose.

CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY sanguinary measures
by which the Sultan endeavours to ensure the continuance
of his new system, and to extinguish even the remem-
brance of. the Janissaries, are still going on, and in their
progress visit all classes of the community. Thus a species
of Dervishes, called Bustaches, have been suppressed, on
a charge of unbelief, and of seditious principles, although
devout and fanatical to excess. Some of them have been
put to death, and the rest, with their Chief, banished to
Asia. Their convents, which stood on the Canal and at
Scutari, are pulled down. They were friends of the Ja-
ni4saries.
A number of the Members of the Corps of Ulemas have
been executed, and among others Cadri•bey, Tarandje-
Cadi, and Sokani-'Zuni, Historiographer of the Empire.
Ismail Effendi, formerly Ambassador at London, has been
banished. A Contractor of the Janissaries, Bagerkion-
%chi, a very wealthy Jew, has been beheaded; and
another Jew, a banker, Boharaki-Schapetzi-Cariana,
strangled. Their joint property, amounting to 30,000,000
piastres, has been confiscated.
The greater number of the coffee-houses, of which
there are about 4,000 in Constantinople, are shut up, and
the benches before the doors, on which the Turkß take
their coffee, and enjoy their pipe, have been throWn into
the sea, on the pretext that they served for political meet-
iugs, and accustomed, the people. to idleness.
Seditious placards have been , posted up, in which the
Seraskier especially is very roughly handled,and reminded,
that lie was once but a link-boy. The authors are sup-
posed to belong to the new soldiery, more than 300 of
whom have been, on that account, arrested, and the greater
part strangled. The people, in spite of the pains taken
by Government to furnish them with cheap provisions,
are discontented ; terror, however, keeps individuals from
displaying their discontent.
