, .

a ram Tuautv.—.-The 13th day of August was
a day of terror for Coestaatinople. The fermenta-
tion and dissatisfaction which have prevailed for sante
time among the people Were raised to the highest
pitch by the late events in Siwas (Sebasti), by which
some families of the Janissaries had suffered, and by
the late promotion of the Aga, who was hated by
that dangerous soldiery; and the citizens were al-
ready living in anxious terror of the near explosion
of acts of violence, which was announced by several
placards, when, early in the morning of that day,
fire broke out in the house of the former Kuschdi-
Baschi (Lieutenant of Police), and, spreading with
the rapidity of lightning, turned the gloomy expec-
tations into certainty.

" The fire raged the whole day through, and till
past midnight, and presented a most dreadful spec-
tacle of the destruction of several quarters of the city.
Some thousand houses, two Christian churches, and
two small mosques were laid in ashes. The presence
of the Sultan, and of all the Ministers, indeed
.ani-
mated the zeal of the persons employed in extin-
guishing the dames; but the narrowness of the streets
in that closely built quarter of the city, the heat and
fatigues of the day, increased by the smoke, im-
peded the attempts to save the houses, and delayed
assistance. Meantime the commotion among the
I people became more and more alarming, and the
fears of a tumult increased. It was afEirmed.thas in
the placards the instigators demanded the deposition
of the Grand Vizier, of the High Admiral, the re-
moval of the favourite Halet, Effendi, of the Dhara-
bhanit Emini, Abd orrah man Bey, and ofsome others:
fears were entertained for the lives of these and seve-
ral other persons.
" The whole of the following day passed in anxious
expectation, till at length, towards the evening, it,
was announced that the Scik, Itsch-Ili-Ahmed Pacha
(hitherto Captain Pacha) was removed to Brussa, and
Hassan Pacha, Governor of that place, sent for to
till the office of Iligh Admiral.
" During these events the Government doubled
its vigilance, to which alone we owe the most perfect
tranquillity and safety, especially in the quarter of
the Fraaks, where not only the guards were aug-
mented and ordered to patrole without interruption
both night and day, but several suspicious persons
were arrested and sent to prison. It was in vain
that some malicious persons endeavoured to terrify
the public by fresh alarms of fire, and to delay the
re-opening of the public markets, which had been
cleared of the goods on account of the threatening
danger. All Foreign Legations were requested by
the Portc strictly to enjoi'i all persons of their respec-
tive nations, not to go out after dark, without lan-
dierns, in order to prevent all unpleasant consequences.

"On the 17th of August there was a great extra-
ordinary meeting of the Council of State in the house
of the Mufti. After it broke up an Imperial Firrrian
was published, in which the people were exhorted to
.kelep peace, order, and to re-open the sheps'thit
maised shut in the public markets ; and the assurance
was added, that the Government, fully relying'on
the zeal and support of the well-disposed inhabitants
of the capital and of the empire, had no apprehension
from the intrigues of some disturbers of the public
peace, and would know bow to punish them with
all the rigour of the laws. The Chiefs of the several
regiments 01 Janissaries also appeared to exculpate
those under their command from the accusation of
having been concerned in causing the fire. They
were dismissed with injunctions to look after all such
persons among their body as were suspicious and
capable of incendiary plots, and in case of detection,
to punish them with all the rigour of the Statute of
the Corps. Lastly, to indulge the prejudices of the
people who are accustomed to regard the elephant
as an animal of ill omen, and to attribute all fires to
the presence of these animals in Constantinople, it
was resolved to banish all the elephants from the
metropolis, which resolution has been already carried
into effect.

mat in all than troubles, over which the 6otern•

ment has, with equal dexterity and prudence, thrown
a veil, the hand of a seditious party was at work, ap-
pears from the execution, on the 18th, of a public
officer, equally distinguished by his immoral cha-
racter and his remarkable talents for legal substle-
ties; by name Kaubur Suleimann Effendi, of the
Court of Justice at Galati—lie had been several times
exiled from Constantinople for his licentiousness,

and had obtained, towards the end of the Ramadan,
as it is affirmed, on the intercession of the Janissaries,
leave to return to Constantinople—he was suddenly

summoned, under the pretence of the reading of A
Finnan before the Bostangi Pacha, and the Topdshi
Pacha, delivered to the executioners and strangled,

and his body cast into the sea.

" The account of the quieting of the troubles in
Siwas, and of the general pardon granted to the in-
habitants of that important province, seem equally
to•have contributed to allay the ferment of people's
minds. The happy result is ascribed to the interven-
tion of Tscheassan Ogla.
" The new Captain Pacha arrived at Constanti-
nOple on the 19th of August, and was received and
invested with his new dignity.
" On the 20th of August there was a splendid en-1
tlirtainTnent given by the late Directer of the Cus-
. ms, now Chief Inspector of the Kitchen, in lionout
of The Sultan, on his admission among the archers
ho bit a mark at the distance of 1,100 paces.
—All *lie Ministers and Grandees of the Empire
who prefer this gymnastic exercise to every other,
were present and were sumptuously entertained ; a
countless multitude surrounded the kitchens erected,
where 16Q cooks were employed. The Sultan re-
mained till the evening, and presented Orman Aga,
the giver of the feast, with a sable pellisse and dagger
adorned with diamonds. The greatest order pre-
vailed among the people, and the Monatch clearly
'hewed by this public and ceremonious appearance
how little he fears the traiterouc plots of some mal-
contents, and how secure he feels himself in the midst
of his faithful subjects."

our last. The Monier contains the following Royal

sidents of the Electoral Colleges for the ensuing
