But that unis eye has suiter light,
And tho* each gem had been a star,

Even tho least informed nre aware th .i
Mussulmcn naturally hate the Infidels, and tli.it
the Infidels on - their side tiro the enemies of
Mussiilnien ; that Russia, above nil, has a par
ticular hatred of Islumism, nnd that she itllrn
chief enemy of .he Sublime Porte. For fifiy or
sixty y ears, auxiuns (jalous) to put into execu
tion her guilty projects against.ho Mussulman
nation and the O niinhn empire, she lias con-
6tumly profited by .the slightest pretext to de

perfidious plot was (h c wered q sliort timo be-
foro it was to be put in execution.
The measures which were taken in the capita!,
without loss of time ,checked attheir pommonce-
mem the gud y projects which seemed to easy
of accomplishment; the sword mfhctqll justice
on a good number of the rebels of the Morea,
and of Ncgrupoiir, of AurcaMania, of M:xso-

ced their wives and then child -oi, to.- h.p} *rge,
and, under he r.ame of ho "G vornaient of-

For many years, considerable forces, both

but our land troops, discouraged by want of jray,
did not display the requisite ardurt otft i’.cut

thor by promises or by deeds, and ilms her.;.mo
tho chief cause of tho promulgation of our trou
bles. At last, led utvay by the zubilmy and

united themselves to her, and, under tho pretext

tinuance of those troubles, they prevailed joa
