I-IASZARD'S GAZETTE, JUNE 13. TURKISH _!_1'3IGUE8. '_l‘be "onstarititiopleoorrespondenr of the Notes, writing on the3dinstant, saya:—In the midst of B|lltlI’_y movements and diplomatic negociations on which the future of Europe depends, we are surprised by a lace intrigue which recalls the Jaysofsultan ahmoud. You have learned that .Iehemet Ali Paeha, brother-is-law of the present Sultan, was three weeks since banished, diet to Sinope, and then into the interior. As English-f men have not got very clear ideas of Ottoman rsonages, and mix up Msberneta and llshniouds, uleimans and Selims, it iriay he as well once more to state that Mehemet Ali Pacha was 30 years ago a hsridsome Circassian youth, who attracted the regards of the late Sultan. In the usual course of Turliish advancement, he was at an early age invested with the dtiinity of a pacha of the first rank, and laced in offices which brought him eonsiderabe wealth. Utterly on- scrupulous, he increased his fortune by means from which even Turkish officials have abstained, and soon became one of the richest, or, at least, one of the most splendidly living Pachss in the empire. To crown all, Mahmoud gave him a daughter in marriage, and always treated him with distinguished regard. Mehemet All has always been a powerful man, both with hie aovereign and countrymen; although illiterate and narrow-minded, he possesses a force of character which few of the Europeanized I’achas oasesa. He has been the representative of old urkey in all its pride and cruelty. He is the last man who has been known to put a female slave to death by the celebrated means of the sack and the Bosphorus. This act he committed during the reign of the present Sultan. He is also said to have been concerned in the execution ofthe Armenian who. having embraced lslamisiii, recanted in the year 1848. He has always been astauncli opponent of diplomatic infiueiice, and particularly of that exercised by the British ambassador during the last few years. On the other hand, he distinguished himself greatly by his haughty rejection of the demands of Men tschiltoff, roused the national feeling of the Turks, did much to kindle the enthusiasm with which the war commenced, and urged the council to the momentous step of it struggle against the Czar. In Redscltid Pacha he has had, however. for many years a formidable enemy. Personal feelings are at the bottom of the animosity which revails between the two men, but their political eanings tend still further to separate them. Of course, any comparison between their intellectual attainments would be absurd; btit with the Turks Mehemet Ali, with all his faults, is the more popular paclia‘of the two. Redsehid Pacha is in many respects merely the instrument of the British embassy, and is, therefore, considered by the iiatioiisl party as willing to sacrifice his oountry to his personal tiggrandisement. The accusations against him of direct corruption may or may not be true, but there can be no doubt that he has, equally with Mehemet Ali, used his influence with the Sultan to obtain, indirectly, large grants of money out of the revenues of an -impoverished state. Since the marriage of his son with the Sultan's datighter, Redsehid has be- come the most powerful subject in the empire, and the envy and animosity of ivlehemet Ali have been correspondingly increased; at the latter has not been wholly neglected. he Sultan is said to have a strong feeling of affection for Mehemet Ali, and for the sister, who is his wife. c has visited him periodically on terms of familiarity which are seldom vouehssfed to a sub- ject. However, Mehemet Ali was lately carried away by his discontent into manifestations which brought him into trouble. As the representative of the Turkish party, he has seen with anger the establishment of the allies in Constantinople. Like the majority of his countrymen, he has transferred his dislike from the Russians to their more successful opponents, who have established their power in the empire without a blow. Whether any scheme for a coup-d‘ air! was really in preparation by Mehemet Ali may be doubted, but he no doubt made use of expressions against the Sultan, his ministers, and allies which, in the present temper ofthe people might have prodticed disturbances. Iledschid Pacha and his diplomatic supporters took advantage of these excesses, and three weeks ago Mehemet Ali tvas apprehended, and within ‘.24 hours was on his way to Siiiope. Lord Stratford was desirous to visit the Crimea, and a week ago took his departure with his whole household. A youthful attache reinained as charge d’aff;iires. Conteinporaneously with the iimbsasador’s absence, and probably eneourag. ed by it, an intrigue began for the renal of Me- hemet Ali. His wife implored her brother not to sacrifice his father's friend. Eunucbs and 'pebesrers exerted themselves to the utmost to rid the weak mind of the monarch, while all the popular influence which could penetrate into the wall of the palace was used on the same side. Redschid ache, in the absence oflhis energetic proteetor, vies too weak to stand the storm.. It was brdered that Mehemet Ali should be recalled, and yesterday a sit-‘timer was d-s- patched to bring him to the capital. Rrdlcfllti ache then tendered his resignation, and lflltlle-l that it should he accepted. As far as anything can now beleiirned, it appears that the Sultan was sincerely desirous to retain him in power, but the niinieter was inflexible. Yesterday after- noon Redsehid finally restarted the ofice of Grand Vtaier, to which Ali Pacha, now plsnipotentiary at Vienna, was at once appointed. Redsehid has. however, accepted the mission to Vienna. so that the two statesmen have merely changed places- Fua_d Etfendi is nominated ialiiistgs of forsign affairs. He is the same who was expelled from his ofllce by Mentsehikoff, and is, or was, a de- cided opponent of Russia. Chefik Pacha, minister of_fi_nance. is temporarily to fill the oflice of Grand Viaier. Such is the state of things at the present moment, but Lord Stratford may be expected to- morrow. and it is possible that before Mehemet Ali enters the Bospliorus he may receive an order to return to exile, and Redsehid Pacha once more assume the reins of power. A stormy interview between the diplomatiet and the Sultan is certain. The French charge d’affsires, M. Benedetti, does not seem to have interfered in the matter. The Daily News correspondent, under date of the 13th, gives the following additional parti- culars:— Redschid Pachs’s departure on his mission to Vienna was fixed for to-day, but it has been futtlier postponed, it appears, and some usually well-informed persons surmise, that his distin- guished services may be still secured in the formation of a new ministry. His retirement from oflice at this portentous juncture is a subject of general regret and amazement and has given rise in most circles to some very severe comments. "L‘homme est on sbime,” said the philosopher of Ferncy ; and never, perhaps, was this apothegm more forcibly illustrated than in the series of incidents which, if report says true, led to the downfall of this able and enlightened minister. Will it be believed, that the man whose compre- hensive mind had seized at a glance the insidueus purport of the Vienna note, and who mainly contributed, at the very outset of this struggle, to place his country's cause on the broad basis of a European question, and enlist in her favour the sympathies, if not the active support ofall civilis- ed niitions, should have deserted at the eleventh hour the counsels of his sovereign, and that. too, it is stated, for motives petty, paltry, miserable. unworthy alike ofa patriot and a great statesman! And such, else! is the report in circulation, and such the measure and extent of human frailty. tedscbid, as well by his owit distinguished merit as by a rare concurrence of fortunate events, had reached the zenith of worldly prosperity and political power. His influence was unbounded in every department of the state; his friends and adherents countless; his personal and political relations most intimate with Lord Radcliffe, as well as some other members of the diplomatic corps; his late eonnexion,above all, with the Imperial family, by his son Ali Gholaub Pacha‘s marriage, had ensured, in a word, advantages never before united in the person of any Turkish dignitary. The bounty and munilicenee of his young sovereign, besides, were manifested oii every occasion ;and I may mention, among other instances which have come to my k wledge, the grant of a life-pension amounting to 50,000 pisstres per month; the purchase of his palace. at a moment of great financial difficulties, for about twenty millions; and, again, very lately, the cession at a mere noniinsl value of crown pro- perty comprising an immense tract of land in the highest state of cultivation, with the finest country residence on the Bosphorus. Rcschid, moreover, had amassed vast wealth, and acquired landed possessions in various parts of the country, and was thus placed, come what might, beyond the reach of accidents. His family, likewise, was amply provided for: one son, Master of the Mint; another, Mazar Pacha, high in the army; Mehemet Bey, as you are aware, appointed ambassador at the French court; and two others employed in the department of Foreign Affairs, who are now destined to accompany his ext-elleney as secretaries of embassy, in case he should go to Vienna. Such, then, was the splendid position of Red- schid l’acha, when an incredible chapter of paltry accidents led to his resignation, and injured him considerably in public estimation. Among other matters connected with this deplorable event,l may mention that Redechid. although connected by family ties with the Sultan's brother-in-law, Mehemet Ali I’aeha, the reputed leader of the popular party, was, it is well known, one of his most inveterate personal und political enemies. The latter, since his expulsion from the office of Grand Vizicr, had been living in retireirient at the palace of his wife, the Sultana Adili. ' transactions with the Armcniait banker Jeeaerhi hail given rise to a most complicated and inter- ininaiile judicial investigation and Meliemet Ali, although frequently summoned to appear and " show cattse" before the Council of the Tartzimat, had, I believe, constantly refused to attend in person, proposing, however, to send a substituti- or advocate of hisown choice to defend his rights. 'l‘tiis proposition, however, ifl am rightly iii- furmvd, was objected to, on what grounds I know not—and that there being thus no chance of coiiiing to an understanding on this point, the Council proceeded to the trial of the matter at testis, and finally pronouticeil jtidginent, condeniii- ing the Pachtt to restore to the Treason‘ an im- mense sum. 'l‘u this. again, I believe, Mehemet Ali deinurred, and matters were thus pending when a rekiab, or cabinet council was held at the imperial palace of Teheraghsn. On the evening of that day, about 9 p.m., the Sultan despatched s chambeilain to the neigh- bouring mansion of his sister, the Princess Adili, summoning her husband to appear at the lm- ~ panel In compliance with this order the Paclia was conducted thither forthwith, and lievin been introduced into the ante~roont of the Ms‘bein,‘Iie ther_e found the Serask_ter and the Lord High Admiral, who_, after having invited him to it out on the Divan, and pre- sented him coins and the “ caluiiict of peace,” announced the orders of the Sultan, producing at the same time the firman of exile to up moune. Mehemet Ali was thuuderstruck, but placed his hsiid on his forehead. in token of entire submission to the imperial decree: all he requested was permission to return for one instant to his palace and inform the Princess of his doom. This, however. WI! fefufld : but I meseen er ( rejoined the Seraskier ) should be despnto ed inimediittely for that object, and also to take wearing nppurel and other efl'ects, as well as tho “ artist“ and kitchen utenai|e— aviolicum which Eastern usage indispcnsably rovides for all condemned to punishment. II this the Pachti. entered the Seroskier a barge, with the High Adinirnl and one or two on board it steamer in readiness at the Arsenal. Next morning, at sunrise, the bout started for the Black Sea, and lisvin reached Ineboli, there the pacbu landed, an set out without it moment's delay for his destiiiittion—Knstu- muune. This town is it sort‘. ol'Ultiinn. 'l_‘iiulo, and in all probability beyond the limits of your geographical science ; 1 iuuy tlierefore be pcrmited to remark, piirentlietically, that it is situate in the Pncliitlic of Sivtis, and distant about 30 hours from the nieiiiornhle city of Sinope. As regards its antiquities and nionu- ments of urt,I um, I must. confess, nbout its wise as yourself; but there is one venerable relic of the highest interest to your civic virtuosos, and to all who delight in _“ crea- turo comforts.” This I should denomioate n “self~ncting spit,”—in appearance. at least- innsniuch as it turns on it pivot, and the ment is itdniirubly roasted by the mere agency of cnloric. his the simplest of all appliances, and I have been often surprised that it is not in general use. It is placed vertically be- fore the tire, and it is only in this, and is minia- turo windmill upporutus at the top, that it differs from the common spit. it moves beati- tifully and perpetually on, and the velocity is in the exact ratio of the heat. Under these circuiustunces, it is to be hoped, that Mehemet Ali wits iuvitrinbly kept in good case, and did not want tit least for an excellent lrébob to con- sole him in his exile. But to my title. The messenger having arri- ved nt the palace of the Princess, the news spt-cad at once like on electric shock, and the harem rcsoundcd with wailing and lamenta- tions. The oung Sultnnu rushed out quite distracted, and ordering her carriage proceeded, with tl. train ofnttcndunts, during the night, to the imperial nluce. On her arrival, the great portiil of the urcm was instantly thrown open, and the chief of the cunuelts conducted the Princess to the apartments of the litisnada Ustn. Her desolate nppeurnnce, disordered t.oilct,dishevelled hair, and loud lnmentinfis, excited the pity and compassion of all. “ A brother! my brother!” she subbed aloud; “I want for one instant to see my brother." Her tears and entrenties were all in vain, and she wntclicd, sleepless and in anguish, the whole night, in hopes of obtaining an interview. The sun, however, arose without her having attain- ed her object, and she was thus under the ne- ceiistty of returning home, when another heart- rendiug spectacle nwuited her. The etettmer containing her brother shot up the narrow straits, iiiiiiiediately under the opened window of her three. Shortly after the departure of the exi ed Pitclin, Lord Redcliff, with his family started for the Crimes, and the very day after, if I am rightly informed, the Sultan suiniiioiied to his presence ltedschid Pucliu, the then grand vizier, and notified his intention of recalling his brother-in low from exile. The ministers in reply respectfully observed to his Mnjcst the necessity of submitting this matter to the deliberation of the council, and promised to couiinuniciite without delay, the result. This was accordingly done; and the decision, I am told, sanctioned the recall of Mehemet Ali, but on condition, it is said, of his being never again entrusted with any important post in the administration of the empire. [cnniiot precisely stitte the effect roditecd, when this wits notified to his Iniperitt Majesty, but the iiiinicdinto result was, that orders were issued for the despntch ofn stonmer to conve the Sultan's portion to the Pitchu, and bring him linclt without delny to the capital; with the nddition, moreover. that ifno overnment boot were in readiness. one must it hired at any price from the foreign steuin company. 'liiis latter expedient wits ndoptcd, and Mehemet Ali,uftcr it fortnight‘s stay at the place of exile, returned to Coiisttintinoplo. On his arrival the Sultnn sent it pnge to welcome him, liesidcsn substiintinl mark of fnvor in a gift. of l.’i,llll0 purses (about £7,000 ). Thus for. since his return. he has been living in entire seclusion. ttnd has seen no one with the exception of his medical itdi-iscr. Redscliid Pnolm, shortly offer the dc itrturo ofthe steitiii- er destined to brin bitok lelieniet Ali to Con- stantinople, sent in his resignation, and hits thus produced the rentest. confusion at this trying nioiiient, sacrificing to potty jenloiisies and aniinosities the true interests of tie country. « ‘I'll WAR. THE NIGHT CONFLICI‘ 0!’ THE 18'!‘ HAY.-— GENIRAL CANBOBEBTB REPORT. The Monileur contains the following report from General Caiirobert, addressed to the mi- nister of war. and dated Ma Monsieur le Marechttl,—)d patch of the as vs you the account of the taking by main res, and the oocnpttion it our troops, of a work of counter-spproao which the enemy had raised in froufof our left attack. This work, which was of var con- siderable extsiit, was com d of two when lines, separated by an interval of 40 metres, and. the extremities of which were supported by some natural obstacles of the ground. It. was in communication with the lunette of the Central Bastion by it. deep trench, and had been mounted with nine-hand mortars, the fire from which seriously annoyed our works. This ad- vunced position was of very great importance to the enemy, as from it they could, perhaps, have destroyed one of our recently completed batteries, as well as the works around it, and it would have had it cross-fire on our attacks ‘ on the Flagstaff Bastion. I It was, therefore, necessary for us to prevent the ltussiuns from establishing themselves definitively in this place d'armes, and an attac on it was resolved on, as soon as the works should litive reached a height sufficient to pro- .toet us from the firaif the place, or at least lshould do so portiully. According to orders received from me. Gene- rul Pelissier pre ared the general arrangements for the attack, t eexecution of which was con- fided to General de Salles, seconded b Generals Busaine, de la Motterouge, and ivet, and Lieutenant Colonel Raoult, major of the trench- es 4 :— y telegraphic des- At ten o'clock on the night of the get, at the moment when is very bright moonlig it enabled a movement to be made in order, the troops, formed in two columns, left our pnrullels. 'l‘he left columns, com sed of six companies of the foreign legion (lst regiment, Colonel Vienot), eight companies of the 43d, under Command- nnt Bncquet do Sonnay, and ten companies of the 79th, under Colonel Grenier, were ordered to turn the work by the right, which was de- fended by severttl battalions. These troops, which were led on by General Buzaine with much skill and vigour, rushed on the uncut with an irresistible impetuosity. Coloiie Vienot also led on the foreign legion with re- markable giillnntry. A ball has deprived the Emperor of’ this brave officer, who fell, sword in hand, at the head of his men. The centre column, under General de la Morterotigc, whose name has nlreud figured in the most, honourable manner in t c opera- tions of the siege, was composed of two batta- lions of the 46th, under Colonel (luult. One of these battalions, once led on by the colonel himself, advanced without firing is shot on the front of the work, and resolutely rushed on the encm at the point of the bayonet. The other battalion, following close, immediately crossed over the first inclosure, and the whole regiment then advanced on the second, which it carried with it count e of which its colonel set. the hi best example. ‘ ‘he ‘.l8th, marching in support of the 46th, rushed in its turn on the enemy, and gave bril- liunt proofs of vttlour under the orders of its colonel, do Bregcot. The right column, formed of one company of the 9th battalion of foot chusseui-s, under Cuptnin do Villermuin, an officer of tried bravery, and two companies of the 42d, under Captain Rugon, carried the work on the left. SCttl't.'t‘l\' had the Russians re-entered the place wlidn the violent citniionndo which I linve lnbove itlludcd to coninicnced from every point of the fortilicntioiis. The workmen, the troops, and the trciiclies in the rear received it com- plete sturiii of rojcctiles of every kind; but our ortillcry, skilfully directed by General Le- bocuf, opeiicdufire from such batteries as could be bi-otiglit to bear on the s t. The works were thus cootin ed until daylight, when the enemy's work was definitely in our possession. The enemy, driven from every part, and pur- sued at the point of the bayonet, ttburidoned the work and retired in disorder, strewing the ground with their slain, and leaving it number of prisoners and it uuntity of ‘(ll'lllS in our possession. The loss of the Russians was very considerable. We took ossesslon of the nine linud-mortars, which ha been placed in po- i sition. _ _ As soon its the work was occupied, the engi- necrs commenced operations to turn the para- -etit, in order to secure the position from the ‘re of the town, and to unite it by s commu- nication with our parallel in the rear. These works were executed in the manner agreed on beforehand, but under such it lire ofurtillery as certainly never before proceeded from en] lace. ’l‘be officers of engineers, and particu- nrly Lieut. Colonel Guerin, displayed is cool- nose on energy, and it skill which were the admiration of nll; they were seconded with the greatest devotedness by the sub-ollicors, the aappers, and the workmen of the difiiirent corplo among whom those of the Milt regiment of in- , fantry were molly inted out to me. At about 0 in the afternoon of
