The news from Constantipple, OF which
we have had before but imierfect intelli-
gence, proves to be of very Unpleasant ma
| ture. The fresh revolution witch had taken
| place in that capital, was attnded with all
the barbarities and yindictYc executions

accompanied in the Turkishempire.> The
Sultan who last reigned, and whom it was
the object of the insurgents e restore, was
murdered it, does not appeaiby whom, but
probably by the Sultan then d the throne.
He in Ills turn .supposedto hve sustained
the same fate ; and the greaterpart of his mi
nisters were likewise put to ieath, by the

had been favorable TO the interests of our

more distressing if it shall ultimately ap-
pear shat the late revolution might have
been prevented, and the rcigning monarch
preserved. It is reported that the commu-

mind, and that he became Justly affirmed at

Bonaparte begins to fear that tie Portu-
guese troops, whom he withdrew from their
native country, may follow the example of
the Spanish troops lately in Funen. Those
which were in the south of Franke, on the
confines of the Spanish and Portuguese ter
ritories, he is now marching into the interi-
or OF France.
Sept 9.
It is fact that 5unot was SERGEANT
when Bonaparte first went to Toulon, and
was appointed to SO round the ramparts
with him. Upon which OCCASION he show
ed so much skill and spirit, that Bohaparte
solicited, and procured for him an epaulette
and has never deserted him since.
On the 18th ult. the Bishop of Oporto is
sued Proclamation prohibiting the circu-
lation of French money. British coin was
previously ordered to be current at the rate
of $3.50 rees to the guinea.
Sept TO- n
a reinforcement of three ships of the line
has been sent to our feet in the Baltic and
as the wind has been favorable since sailing,
we hope by this time they have reached their
destination.
The conjecture which we hazarded, not
without considerable reluctance, respecting
the authors of the late sanguinary revolution
in Constantinople, when the fact was first
stated, is too strongly confirmed by the ac-
counts given of it in the French papers.
There We are told Mustapha Bairactar, who
is described as Ca man Of the best intenti-
ons,' entered the Seraglo at the head of
CORPS Of troops, with the intention of res
toring the throne to Sultan Selim, who had
been deposcd on the SSth of May, 1907. The
natural method Of disconcerting such pro
ieCt was that which was adopted. Sclim's
life had been spared by Mustapha his sue
cessor, at the time of the former revolution,
but Ike remained completely in his power !;
so that, as soon as an insurrection began in
his favor, he was immediately put to death.
OF course the contrivers of the scheme cal
culated on what Actually happened, viz.
that his death would be avenged by his par
tizans, and that thus Mustapha the reigDing
Sultan, would share the same fate with him
whose throne he had usurped, and whose
life lie had talfen away. The consequence
Of this horrible catastrophe has been, that,
Prince Mahomet, the last branch Of the
reigaing dynasty, ard bow about Is years
of age, has been proclaimed Emperor.
This disclosure would give us clue 20
the MYSTERY, if there were any. The pre-
sent Sultan is boy Of IS. who will be east
ly guided by those around him, and who,
let 1t be Observed, are not the ministers who
Showed an anxiety to renew the connection
with England (all those, we are told, have
been put to death along with their masters)
but the friends of this " nun of the best in
fentiors," Bairacter. 1t will be remarked,
too, that he is "the last branch Of the
rcigning familv." Let him be taken OFT, aAd
Honaparte will either become Sultan him
self, or nominate a successor co the throne
of the Eastern empire There was time
when such notions would Justly have been RI
dicdled as eXtravagant but after what we
have witnessed, they caHnot be thought sub
ject to any suC.1 imputation.
An express was dispatched to Cork on the
5th. with orders for The expedition under
Sir ID. Baird to sail forthwith.
