REVOLUTION & MASSACRE
IN TUNIS.
From a French Paper.
Florence , February 15.
The moft Tragical events have
lately taken place in Tunis. The
reigning family has been totally
exterminated. The following are
extra&s from two letters written
at Goulette, which we have receiv
ed by the way of Livourne. We
may depend on the correttnefs of
the fads they contain.
Goulette, ‘January 20.
Sidi Mahmoud Flaffeau, cousin
■ of the reigning bey of Tunis, enjoy
j ed the confidence of his sovereign,
whom he attempted to render odi
ous ,to the people by all pofiible
means, and for a long time medita
ted his ruin. In the night of the
19th of December, after 11 o’clock,
Flaffen, at the head of a great num
ber of conspirators and slaves of
different religions, and having ap
parently seduced thg greatest part
of the Seraglio, entered the apart
| ments of the bey and plunged with
his own hand a poniard into the
heart of the old man. At the fame
moment the conspirators threw
; thenffelves on the partizans of Sidi
Ottoman. During three hours the
friends of the affafiinated prince de
fended themselves with desperation.
Many were killed, and nearly all
; wounded ; but in the ehd they
j found it necessary to submit to the
’ usurper, who, in the midst of this
I carnage, had the good fortune to
J escape unhurt himfelf.
While the interior of the Seragl
• io was inundated with blood, the
people and the troops, accustomed
! to similar scenes, quietly waited for
) the developement of the horrid
; tragedy.
The two sons of the unhappy
■ Sidi Ottoman were in their differ
. ent beds with their wives at the mo
■ ment of the massacre of their father.
- They fcarely had time to fly in
i their shirts, and to scale the walls
of the Seraglio, followed by a few
others, leaving to the mercy of the
’ conspirators their wives, who were
• massacred without pity. The two
j princes went immediately to the
I suburbs, colletting as many of the
inhabitants as they could, and pre
i fented themselves at the gates of
the city, in hopes of being support
ed by the people, but no one took
up arms for them. They then
endeavored to make their escape,
and threw themfelvei into a barque
to go to Goulette. They reached
there in the morning ; but Mah
mofld had been beforehand with
them, and the authority was already
in his hands. They were instantly
arrested : certain of their fate they
would have thrown themselves into
the sea, but were prevented and
closely pinioned, and put on two
mules to conduct to Tunis. At a
(hort distance from the city they
were met by their barbarous cousin,
who ordered their throats cut on
the highway.
Mahmoud then returned to Tu
nis, where he was recognized the
absolute master of the regency.—

[Payable half yearly.
riage to Sidi Soliman Kiaja, chief
of a powerful parry under the for
mer dynasty, and who had great in
fluence over the people. By this:
means he gained him entirely to
his cause.
The prime minister of the new
sovereign is Juffuf Koggia Sappß
tappa, to whom the bey has pro
mised his filler. Juffuf is a fero
cious man, who has begun his
ministerial career by ordering the
hanging of Mariano Stinka, who
enjoyed the favor of Sidi Ottoman,
but who had merited the general
hatred by his cruelty to the slaves,
and his insolence towards the Eu
ropean consuls. He was a rene
gado, born at Sorrente,in the king
dom of Naples, of a poor and ob
scure family, and who was a Have
at the age of twelve years: he had
become the arbiter of the person
and estates of his master. They
have seized all his riches, which
were in.menfe. The renagado
phvfician Mah met has lately been
strangled by the? order of the fame
minister.
January 2S.
JuffufKoggia has enjoyed but ft
few moments the post to which he
was raised by the iaft revolution.
After the maffaCre of the family of
Ottoman, he formed a projeft to
destroy the usurper and his ions, tc
to mount the throne himfelf.
The 22d he came out of the So*
raglio, and went throughout Tunis
with the pomp of a sovereign. He
ordered money to be distributed
to the soldiers, to prepare them for
anew revolution. The Regent
was informed of this; and when
Juffuf Koggia returned to the Se
raglio, the chief of the Mamelukes
arrested him in the name of the
bey, and seized him faft by the
beard. Koggia drew his poniard,
and mortally wounded the Mame
luke chief, and severely the soldiers
who surrounded him ; but in spite
of his vigorous resistance he was
thrown to the ground, and carried
all bloody and half dead to the
presence of the bey. The latter,
after having reproached him with
his treachery and ingratitude, or
dered his head cut off on the fpot #
which was instantaneously done.
The enraged populace dragged
his corpse all over the city, and the
military had much difficulty to tear
from them the horrid remains of
the mutilated carcase His parti
sans are arrested, and great chang
es are rumoured. The soldiers
have taken the oath of fidelity to
Sidi Mahmoud Flaffen, and the
maffacreg have ceased. Every one
has quietly returned to his ordinary
occupations, as if nothing had hap
pened.
[Sidi Ottoman succeeded Hamuda
Pacha, his brother, who died the
24th of September last, after a
peaceful reign of thirty two year3.J
