" A change in the highest dignity in the empire has just
taken place, for which nobody was prepared, and which
WAS not accompanied by any of those deplorable scenes
which cause consternation in the public, or even in the
bosom of some families. The Sultan has thought fit to
withdraw the seals from Izzet Mehemet, the late Capitan
Pacha, who was rained to the dignity of Grand Vizier
hardly three months ago. A capidtchi-baschi has been
sent to Shinnla to announce to him his discharge. He
is not formally disgraced : Rodosto, on the coast of the Sea
of Marmora, is assigned him for his residence.
" The Sultan has appointed for his successor Redschid
Pacha, now Seraskier of Romelia, celebrated fur the taking
of Missolonglai, and of Acropolis, and equally famous for
having suppressed the insurrection of the celebrated Ali
Pacha, of Janina : the firman containing his nomination
has been transmitted to him to Arts, at the same time he
received orders to proceed immediately to the Danube.
" The cause of the deposition of the late Grand Vizier
is said to be the extreme dissatisfaction of the Sultan at the
little energy which he has shown since the taking of Varna.
" Halil Pacha, who distinguished himself in many en-
gagementa during the last campaign, is appointed Caimacan
to the Grand Vizier!
" On the 7th of February, the Sultan suddenly embarked
on the Sea of Marmora : it is thought that he will land at
Rodosto, to have an explanation with his late Grand Vizier,
whom he had ordered to go thither.
" It is affirmed, that the Porte has at length named ti e
island to which it is willing to send agents, to treat of the
flails of Greece.
" The Sultan has received the important news that se-
veral Paellas having, by his orders, resumed offensive opera-
tions in Livadia, not only the progress of the arms of the
Greeks is stopped, but the town of Livadia itself, which lied
fallen into their hands, has been retaken by Mahorned Pacha.
Omer Paella, of Neeropont, has also taken the field, for the
purpose of entirely driving from the provinces to the north
of the Isthmus of Corinth the Greeks who have come from
the Peloponnesus under the command of Detnetriuslipsilanti.
" News has been received from the island of Candia that
the blockade of that island by the French and English has
entirely ceased, and that a division of Egyptian troops from
Alexandria has since landed there. It is added, that the
schooner of Baron Reinneck, a well-known Philhellene, who
organized the insurrection in Candia, hair fallen into the hands
of the Egyptians."

against concessions.
Sir JOHN WROTTESLEY presented two petitions,
one from Salop and another from Wolverhampton, in favour

aTairast concessions.

caster, Ragby, Halifax, Cottingliana, and other places is

Mr. FELLOWES presented a petition from Bury,
Iluatingdon, against the Catholics.
Mr. EGERTON presented a similar petition from

Mr. ( 0 ).RY presented a petition from Tyeone, signed

ord BINGHAM preeented a similar petition from
Rubbin, and four other parishes in Ireland, in favour of
the Catholics.
Mr. HOULDSWORTH presented a petition containing
4,500 signatures from Newton Abbott, Devon, against the
Catholics.
Lord EBRINGION begged to have the petition, which
wee very short, lead over, After this had been done the
Noble Lord contended that no person who was friendly to
the Catholic Claims could refuse toaign this petition, as there
was not a word in it that could entitle persons to call it
a petition against the Catholics. He begged to direct the
attention of the Huse to some most intlaminatory hand-
bills, which had been distributed in the county of Devon,
is order to inflame the minds of the people against the
Catholics. The Noble Lord then read extracts from the
hand-bills, and observed that the naosst scandalous part of
the transaction was that these bills were distributed
at the gate of a most amiable Roman Catholic es'ehleman,
Lord Clifford, whose conduct both in social and public
life would give the lie most pointedly to the scandalous al-
legations in those bills, and it was chiefly to the conduct of
that Noble Lord that the people of Devoe bad followed the
mild course evisich they bad.
Sir E. KNATC,BnuLL hoped, as the Noble Lewd sais,lha
would have no objection to sign that petition. that he sheoid
have the honour of the ~fable Lord's vote with h'inself; for
when be (Sir E. K.) looked at the petition, and found
that it recommended the preeerseetion of the Constitution
of 1489, and when lie coupled that sentiment with the
observation of the Right Hon. Secretary of State, that the
present measure would break in upon the Constitution of
1688, he must look upon the petition as being opposed
to the present measure.---(Hear, hear.)
Lord EIIiIINGTON, in reply, regretted that the Thou.
Baronet had had recourse to the old worn out subject of
the Constitution of 168S.—(Lanahter.) That subject
was actually worn threadbare.
Mr. TRANT observed, that the Noble Menthes having
alluded :o the worn-out Constitution—(A laugh)—of
168s1, he eameidered it necessary to inform him that the
old Coteetitutioo- had lasted longer than the new one would.
--(Hear, hear, am; loud laughter.)
Col. WILSON poesented a petition against the Catho-
lics, from a place in the county of York. The Hon,
Lem-
her !aid, that if he had t management of Ireland,
ltd
would soon pacify it. It wax a fine country, mid he
would rid it of the mischief-naaklei priests. Our Con-
stitution should be preserved entire ,2,pd unaltered.—
It was through that Constitution, he said, meet the country
under Divine Providence had arrived at its present glorious
minimum of prosperity. (Great laughter.) If he heal
the management of matters he would give up Sierra Leone
to the Pope—(immense laughter)—and he would send
those who were discontented in Ireland to Sierra Leone.
(Laughter.) I would insist, said the Hon. Gentleman,
that the bendholtiers should reside six mantissa of the year in
beimd upon ehrir estates, and I would reoominea every
well disposed family to have a little piece of land. (Great
laughter.) All that gavel disposed people require is' a pc--
woe garden. (Renewed laughter.) A potatoe gardea I
would give to every well disposed person, snd in a few
years I would make Ireland as quiet as a 'nab-pond. (In-
creased Laughter.) But it will sect quiet Ireland to tar up
our Constitution anti give it to the Paoists.—(Hear, hear.)
—Sir, nay opinion of Popery may lee exprassed in thole
words :
" Give it connivance, it will seal; toleration :
" Toleration obtained, it will seek an equation :
" Ascendancy once gained, it will never stop short,
" Till our Protestant Church to subversion is brought."
(Much laughter,)
This, Sir, is the essence of Popery. I say that our Pro-
testant Constitution has pushed this country to the mini-
isnutn of its glory—(Laughter)—aini I ask every honest
Protestant, " Will you give it up ?—will you give it up?'
(In a louder tone and in the midst of.
peals
of laughterro.)
