ORIENTAL CRUELTY, APATHY
AND BRUTALITY. <
u As I sat one afternoon beneath the
portico of the palace of the Janizarit s
in (Jonstanlinople, two Greeks of a su
perior class were brought in undci
a guard, it was impossible not to be
moved at such a scene. They were
both elderly men; and as they walked
with a firm step, their looks were pla
cid and resigned. Their fate wrs
inevitable; their retreat had been dis
covered, and they were torn from
their families to die. Indeed, it w as
singular to observe the resignation,
approaching to apathy, w ith which the
(•reeks in general meet their fate.—.
One unfortunate man had made his
escape; but so strong was his desire,
after a few weeks, to see his family
again, that he ventured back. The
very evening of his return he was dis
covered in Galatia, and drag ed forth,
'file Greek knelt down, folded Ins
arms on his breast tranquilly, without
any c hange of feature, and was in
stantly slain. 1 passed by the body of
ibis man tw ice afterwards: the Turks
as was their frequent practice after
beheading, had fixed the head between
the knees, in an upright position, so
that his ghastly aspect was sure to
meet the * v* s of the passenger. The
Musselmans certainly excel all other
i eople in their dexterity in taking off
Hie head at one blow. Afterwards at
Smyrna, 1 went early one morning to
the execution of twenty-three Grr ei.s,
who were put to death in this way
with little pain. But the scene was
closed before 1 arrived at the spot,
where i he bodies were lying in aheap,
it was truly shocking to see how cheap
human life was held.
‘•The women were better off in this
respec t: but woe to those who had a-
ny beauty. They always found their
way to the harems of the Turks to
become their slaves and mistresses,
w hile the plain ones w ere cared noth
ing about. A young and very lovely
Greek was offered for sale by an A-
merican merchant at Constantinople,
for twenty thousand piastres, (about
six hundred | ounds.) One of the
pashas, who had owed the merchant
that sum, had sent him this lady, who
had become bis captive, ns payment,
lliat he must sell her for the full a-
mount. Tlie sex were sadly degra
ded at this period. At the storming
i f iLvaly. a Greek town on the coast
of Asia Minor, the Turks having put
all the men to the sword, secuijCcl the
few beauties for their seraglios ;nd
sol i the rest of the women for f.fty
piastres, or thi tv shillings, apiece.—•
