SolTle days before this ',as-barons ' fcene, the Janiflaries formally renounced their obedience, declaring at the fame time that they would only acknowledge PASWAN OGLeU as their mailer, for whom they held Belgrade, of which be would loan take polTellion. Al! attempts of the l'acha to gain over borne of his numerous guards were in vain, and he remained in this flate of anxiety and dihefs till the 27th of December, which was the halt day of his life. About two in the afternoon three of the Janiiraries of the 303 who guarded the entrance of the Palace, furiouflf entered the chamber cf the Pacha, and with a me nacing voice asked him—" Where arc your .rca lures.' at the fame time putting a pitiol to his breaft.
