any bad passion gets dominion over
the heart of a man, the sense of all

all is ingulfed. It ought to have known
it before—but now I know and l as

more remote, as no two things can be
in their nature more oppolite, than
the trader’s desk, and the bureau of the

for a more favorable moment to re-j

difeontented, on their fide, preserved
their watchful inquietude, their affe

jects. At leaf!, it is more than proba
ble, that the revolution of tlvs day, is
the effe£t of a plan that has been de
ferred, and which was matured in U
lence. j
It was on the evening of the 25th,
that the explofilgon began at Cavac, a
Gallic fiiuated on the Aftatic shore of
the Bofphorus. A Jarnifary quar
relled with one of the soldiers of the
Nizam Geoidd, on the occrifion of the
uniforms distributed to them: ‘l he
former made u!e of the nioft injurious
language again!! the grand fenior.-*-
The commandant of the Castle, who
had arrived, repiimanded him highly;

place, in which the commandant wa*
immediately killed; then the difcoa

nis IVcrctary and two domestics.
I he next morning; the 26th M-n .
they went and presented themselves a*
ConUantinople. ft’he Grand $< igniot
01 only grained them impunity fcu
veil confirmed, in his command, an
Albanian, whom they had for their
chief. They fired off Come cannon,
1$ if to celebrate this fuccels, but ap
parentlv with the intention of giving a
lignal :o their affochtes. Finally, on ;
he morning of the 28th-, two or three
thouhnd men arrived from GifT. reiit
I 0 unts, and took p dfefiion of tlie bar
racks and the artillery of I’opiuma
Ail the foltiiers there embraced their
party. I hen they began their opera

Grand Seignior did not attempt to op
pose force to them, but he end avortci
to avert the storm by mild measures
He addrefied a letter, conceived in the
mildest terms, to the janissaries i;>
which he promised ip fatisfv ‘hem.—
This letter produced no effect. His

the Roriaugi-Burhi and of two min

without success.
Thsex-Kiaja Bey. Ibraham, against
whom they were moil furious, had en
deavored to conceal himfelf under a
disguise. He was difeovered and
massacred ; his body and clothes we re
cut to pieces and diftrlbuted in our
city. The treasurer of the Nezim
Gedidd, and a secretary of the feragl
io had the fame fate. The rest of the
day palled in conferences.
It w’as not until the 29'h. in
morning, that the unfortunate mon
arch took the part of yielding to ne
cefiity. He confined himfelf to the
old seraglio, from whence they took
his cousin Muftapha, the son of Ab
dul-Hamed to proclaim him emperor.
He is a prince of 28 years of age; he
is only known by his zealous attach
ment to the Mahometan faith. On
his arrival at the mosque of Achoud,
he was received with the mo ft lively
applause.
This ievolution is made, as is seen,
without any violent commotion. Mus

to refpeeft the days of the ex sultan
Selim, and to teliify to him all the
regard compatible with his situation.
