CONSTANTINOPLE, AUG. 31.—Izzet :Mehemet Facile',
whose removal from office has been :so long foresee'
and so often foretold, has at length ; fallen in reality!
fallen with the hateful system he sought to revive;
fallen, it is to be hoped also " never to rise again*
• The Tevdjihat announcing his dismissal, and the 045.
pointment in his place of Rauf Pacha, now Gra:'7..
Vizier for the third time in his life, was read at
Porte yesterday at an early hour. About the state'
time Sir Stratford Canning was engaged in audience
with the Sultan, the ostensible object of which was to
convey an autograph letter of thanks from her 31-iv'
jesty for the presents lately forwarded to her frol
Constantinople, but which there is every reason z",
presume was also turned to good account by the Ate''
bassador for the expression of his sentiments with 1,1.

ceasing and energetic endeavours, from his first ar;;
rival in the Turkish capital, to effectuate. He

presented no basis for the establishment of 137;•iti57
influence, at least such an one as was suited tc°
his comprehensive ideas on the subject. sacri"
ficing, therefore, all temporary and petty aqv.antages
which he might have obtained by conciliating- the
personal regard of the late Grand Vizier, he made
open war on him and his system from the outset.
course adopted by more than one of his diplomatic
colleagues was far less dignified and consistent. Theirc.
amiable optimism could adapt itself to any state °
things, however ruinous. Their views extended
the passing day, and no further. Their triunqhs,'
therefore, are like to prove altogether as epheme cln!
One advantage they may certainly derive from tJ iese
tactics, which is, that their objects of one day (t 0
which, as I have remarked, they are strictly coat' ne 3)
by no means interfere with those of the next. A r
markable instance o: this appears in the behaviour

and grew circumspect; but when, under repeated blows
dealt by a vigorous hand, the Vizier began to tott6r4
when it was known that his dismissal from office was
only retarded by the difficulty which presented itself
in the choice of a successor—then, and not till then-'#
(and now only four days ago) a sudden and mast
spirited attack was made upon him by the preux che—
valier and courageous diplomatist in question.
Rauf Pacha, who was President of the Suprettle
Council, has been replaced in that post by Halil Dv'
chn, the Sultan's brother-in-law ; he is considrzrea
able and clever, but at the same time unprincipl ed and
corrupt, but he does not openly set his facr against
reform, like Izzet Pacha; he is, on the contrary, per-
haps, too friendly to innovation. Ra'..f, the Grand
Vizier, is, both with respect to his c:laracter and his a perfect cypher; and he ha;, evidently been
