FROM THE FRENCH PAPERS.

CONSTANTINOPLE, FEBRUARY s,

The moment of the arrival of the English Ambas-
sador, they had placed on the top of the Palace of
England an immense English flag, which was seen
from all quarters 6f the city. In the course of these
last few days the flag has disappeared, and they have
even beaten down the mast which supported it.
The English vessels which had entered the Archi-
pelago have returned to Malta, on the advice they
received by a brig expedited from the Dardanelles.
FEB. Io.—Since the. English have been here, trou-
ble and inquietude agitate the public mind. Wise
men, who could foretel events, feared those which
the return of the English in Turkey would be calcu-
lated to produce. Now is clearly seen, what was be-
fore doubted of, viz. that peace between England
and the Porte was the work of a small number of
men, recent enemies to the Mussulman name, who
have endeavoured by means of bribery and seduction,
to put in play the passions of a frenzied soldiery be-
come absolute, and to the will of whom nothing
could oppose resistance after the revolution of the
month of November.

Tl►e nomination of the Grand Vizier is not yet
known. It is a case without example, that the im-
portant post of Li'...ttonant of the Sovereign should
Lave been vacant so long. It is believed that this
unc-rtaiiity arises from our Sovereign having chosen
Juseph Paella to occupy it, whom the Janissaries ob-
stinately refused to r2ci-ive into Constantinople. It is
feared ft:a this disagreement will bring on fresh mis-
fortu.:e.
