TURKEY.

Constantinople, Dec 7.--The head of the traitor Haleb Effendi is fixed over the great gate of the Seraglio. From all quarters of the capital, the people throng to contemplate this unexpected exhibition. The sentence (jafta) placed above the head of this once powerful man, states that he abused, in the most criminal manner, the unlimited confidence which his master had placed in him. The official recital of his tragical end shows that this favorite, unlike others, did not want personal courage. Supported by forty friends, or devoted servants, he dared to defend himself against the Capigi Bachi, who presented themselves to demand his head. Haleb and his trusty defenders, after a long resistance, were overpowered by numbers and cut to pieces. But the crisis is far from its term: the Janissaries, infuriated at their triumph, demand that all the public offices shall be filled by their creatures. The Sultan recently went, in the most cautious incognito, to the residence of the new Grand Vizier probably to ask his advice. The interview lasted three quarters of an hour, and was followed by the dismissal of numerous dignitaries of all ranks. This Grand Vizier himself is only a vulgar fantassin. Janissary, therefore, the worst may be expected. The Sultan merely reigns nominally. The death of Chourschid Pacha is also officially announced -but it is not stated whether it has been effected by suicide, which all here believe to have been the case. He is replaced in the command of the Morea by Teheleddin, Pacha of Bosnia, and a creature of the Janissaries. Since the revolution operated in the ministry, all communication with the Christian ambassadors has ceased. Lord Strangford will find things much changed on his return.
