TMs change of the Ministry has surprised every
one, by the celerity and mystery with which it has
been effected. The Ministers were not aware of their
let on the evening of the 14th, when they returned
from the Palace, nor did they learn it until midnight,
by an Officer of the Minister of War, M. Euguie. At.
six o'clock• in the morning of the 15th they quitted
Madrid. M. Pizarro,on the road to Valencia, with
his lady, advanced to the last stage of her pregnancy;
M. Garay, on his road to Seragossa,and M. Figueroa,
with his. family, on that to Coroona.
Permission was refused to Mad. Pizarro to be con-
finei in Madrid ; her mother, who went to implore
the King's favour, received orders to join her daugh-
ter immediately, and departed at two o'clock ou the

VasnstA, Seer. 22.-The 13th of. August was a
day of torrorlir Constantinople. The fermentation
and dissatisfaEtion which have prevailed for some
time among .the people were raised to the highest;
pitch by the late events in Siwas (Sebasti), by which
some facelifts of the Janissaries had suffered, and by
the late promotion of the Aga, who was hated by
that dangerous soldiery; and the citizens were already
Using its antidotes terror of the near explosion of acts
o( violence, which Was announced by several pia-
cards, when early on the morning of that day a fire
broke oat the house of the former Kescirdi
Bischi (Lieuteneut of the Police), and spreading with
the rapidity of lightning, turned the gloomy espec-
tations into certainty. The fire raged the whole day
through and till past midnight, and presented a moat
dreadful speciscle 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 animated the zeal of the persona
employed in estinguishing the flames; but the pan-
row nese of the streets in that closely built quarter
of the city, the heat and fatigues of the day increased
by the smoke, impeded the attempts to save the
houses, and delayed the assistance: Meantime the
commotion among the people became more and more
alarming, and the fears of a tumult increased. It
was affirmed, that in the placards the instigators de-
manded the deposition of the Grand Vizier, of the
High Admiral, the removal of the hermits fialet
Effendi, of the Dharabhana Emini, Abdorrabman
Bey, and of some others. Fears were entertained
for the lives of these and several other persons.
The whole of the following day passed io minions
expectation, till at length, towards the evening, it
was announced that the sick Hach-Ili-Ahmed Pacha
(hitherto Captain Pacha) was removed to Bross,
and the Hassan Pacha, Governor of that place, sent
for to fill the office of High 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 Franks, where not only the guards were seg-
mented and ordered to patrole without interruption
both night and day, but several suspicions persona
were arrested and put into prison. It was io 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,beeo
cleared of the goods en account'of the threatening
danger. All foreign Legation were requested by the
Porte strictly to enjoin all persons of their respective
nations not to go out after dark without lanterns, in
order to prevent all unpleasant consequences.
On the 17th of August there was an emu-
ordinary Meeting of the Council of State, in, the
house of the Mufti. After it broke up, an Imperial
Firings was published, in which the People were ex-
horted to keep peace, order,and to re-open the shops
that remained shut in the public markets, aed the
assurance was added, that the Government, folly re-
lying on the zeal and support of the well-disposed in-
habitants of the Capital and of the Empire, had on
apprehension from the intrigues of some disturbers of
the public peace, and would know how to punish
them with all the rigour of the laws: the Chiefs of the
several regiments of Janissaries also appear to es-
colpete those under their command from the accuse.
Lion of having been concerned in causing the lire.—
They were dismissed with injunctions to look after
all such persons among their body, as were suspi-
cions, 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 prejo.
dices of the People, who are accustomed to regard
the elephant as an animal of ill omen, and to attri-
bute alt firer to the presence of these animals in Con-
stantinople, it was resolved to banish all the ele-
phants from the metropolis, which resolution has
beet) alrerdy carried into elect.
That in all these troubles, over which the
Government has, with equal dexterity and pro-
decree, thrown a veils the hand of a sediti-
ous party was at work, appears from the execution
(on the 18th) of a public Officer, equally distin-
guished bjr his immoral character and his remarkable
talent for legal subtleties, by name Kaubur Sulei-
mann Effendi, of the Court of Justice at Galati.—
He had been several times tailed from Constantinople
ifor his licentiousness and had obtained, towards the
end of the Rataden, as it is affirmed, on the inter-
cession of the Janissaries, leave to return to Con. 1
stantitteple. Ile was suddenly sommmied, under the
pretence of the reading of a Firman before the Bos-
tarigi Pacha and the Topdslie Pacha, delivered to the
executioners and strangled, and his body cast into
the Sea.,
The sceoont 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 ferments of people's
minds. The happy result is ascribed to the iuterven-
tion. of Tscheapau Ogle.
The new Captain Poch* arrived at Constentinopl,
on the 19th Aug. and was received and invested with
Ms new dignity in the usual form. !•
On the 20th August there was a splendid eider-
'Oakmont given by the late Director of the Customs,
pow Chief Inspector of the Kitchen, in honour of the
Sultan, on his admission among the archers who hit a
msrk at the distance of 1100 paces. All the Mi-
nisters 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 erectedov here 160 cooks were
employed. The Sultan remained till tha evening,
and. presented Osman Age, the giver of the feast,
with a sable pellisse and dagger, adorued with dia-
monds. The greatest order prevailed among the
people; and the Monarch clearly showed, by this pub-
lic and ceremonious appearance, how little he fears
the traiterooe plots of some malcontents,and how se-
cure he feels himself in the midst of his faithful
subjects.
After the inhabitants of the capital bad enjoyed
for some weeks a good state .of health, they were
suddenly alarmed at the coil of last month by some
cases of plague. It appeared among the Armenians
and Islanders from the At-alpine:ol and it is to be
feared that it will 'prod.
