GERMAN PAPERS.

CONSTANTINOPLE, JUNE 25.--On the 22d, as the beginning
of the Turkish new year, (124(1 of the Hegira), the superior officers
of the state paid the usual visits and congratulations to the Sultan.
Among the promotions that have taken place in the class of the
Ulemas, those most worthy of notice are that of Mustapha Behd.
schet, Effendi, the Sultan's physician, to the dignity of Cadiaakar ,
of Hornell& ; and that of Abdurrahim Effendi, of Bmussa, to
the post of Istambel Effendi. The promotion of Behdschet
Effendi, a man whom the Sultan has honoured for many
years with a particular confidence, to one of the highest dig.
nines of the Ulemas, is probably connected with the Sul-
tan's declared intention of imposing a tax on the higher
order of the priesthood, in proportion to their rank and revenue, an
innovation which created great sensation, and could only be ac-
counted for by the pressure of circumstances and the penury of the
treasury. The Zeybecks in Asia Minor, and particularly in
the district of Aidin, whose insurrection was happily quelled
during the winter, have again raised the standard of rebellion
in the district of Guselhissar, near Smyrna. The energetic ma-
sums adopted by Kara Osman Ogles Mutiselem of Aidin, have,
however, arrested their progress. The insurgents were defeated
and dispersed in an action near the village of Jenedschik, their
leader Kilmehemed, and two of his chief associates, killed ;
and their heads sent to the capital, where they were exposed at
the gate of the seraglio. It is expected, indeed, that the remainder
of the Zeybecks rallied in the vicinity of Konich, and were collect-
ing reinforcements; but the governors of the adjacent districts, who
have been called upon to take measures in concert against
these banditti, will soon put an entire stop to these excesses.
The insurrection in Albania is of a more formidable nature,
as it appears that not only the Albanian troops, who have mu-
tinied on account of the arrears of their pay, but the Pacha of
Scutari, who is an enemy to the new zeforms, and even the Bosniaks
are concerned in it. The Albanians have been guilty of the
most frightful excesses towards Musselmans, as well as Rajas;
at Janina, and other places, Mahmud Pacha of Trials did gain,
indeed, a considerable advantage, at the end of May, over a body of
these insurgents, under Astarl Bey (who formerly served the Porte
Tthe Greeks), on which that part of them that besieged Emin
ern (the Grand Vizier's son), in Janina, entered into negociations
about their pay ; but, according to later accounts, the end of those
troubles seems very distant, as part of the rebels have advanced
aist Zeitoun, and another part were as far as Kosan, in the Pa-
chalk of Salonichi, where they committed all kinds of ravages. it
will, therefore, require all the energy and activity of the Grand
Vizier to reduce these banditti to order, and to deliver from
this scourge the inhabitants of the districts exposed to their ,
incursions. For this purpose, not only large sums of money
for the satisfaction of just claims, but considerable reinforcements
of regular troops, and of new levies from Macedonia, have been
placed at the disposal of ltedschid Alehemed Pacha, who will spec.,
dily commence his operations against the rebels. The Seraskier,
Hussein Patti, set out from this city on the 10th inst. with a body
of 1,000 infantry for Adrianople. A short time afterwards Hatii
Effendi, the Kiaja Bey, and one of the negotiators at Akerrnan, ar.
rived here from Adrianople, to which city he has already returned,
after sonic conferences with the ministry here. Pertew Effendi is re-
ported to be going on a secret Warier' to Egypt; but it is generally
believed that it is merely to remove him from all influence in politics,
a plan which would just suit his wishes, ilk is true that he has ez-
an intention of entering into an order of Dervises. Hadschi
Sirlealsteadpha Pasha, late Governor of Salonichi and Kavale, is deprived
of his post, which has been given to the late governor of Silistria,
Elfadsch Ahmed Pacha.

The news that an English merchantman has been plundered near
lintylame, and the crew murdered by Greek pirates, has caused a great
deal of alarm. Baron Acton', commander of the Austrian squadron.
on the first news of this event, immediately proceeded on a cruise,
in search of the pirates.
The sanitary state of be capital continues to be perfectly satisfac-
