Constantinople, March 4. The storm which seemed to threaten us appears now ready to burst: the people are all in a ferment, and the foreign Ministers have quitted this capital, as well as all the strangers whom curiosity had brought hither. It is generally imagined that the Grand Seignior will be deposed, and the Sultan Selim placed on the throne, which will no doubt change the present pacific system of government; and this is the more likely, as the great dislike of the people to the present Sultan is for his love of peace, which is termed indolence, and even cowardice in him.
