The Austrian Observe? contains the following article : " CONSTANTINOPLE, Jaws 22. " This capital has lately been the theatre of sangui nary scenes, which, without the firmness of the Sultan, the energy, dispatch, and wisdom of the measures that have been taken, might have caused the ruin of the empire. After a short Struggle, the terrible &etas trophe has finished by the annihilation of the corps of Janissaries. " If we consider the circumstances under which Sul tan Mahmond ascended the throne in 1808, and if we observe his invat iable mode of proceeding for the last 18 years, it is evident that, starting with the conviction that the existence of the empire, and its defence against foreign and domestic enemies, were incompatible with the existence of the Janissaries, organised as they have hitherto been, his Highness had prepared indefatigably, and in secret, the means either of reforming or of dis solving altogether this body, which had so much dege. nerated- Si liCe its formation and complete organization under Solyman 1. " The measures at the beginning of the preceding month were the first formal proceedings of the Go vernment for the projected reform: Although this in novation was executed without hesitation or difficulty, although, according to appearances, all the Chiefs of the corps of Janissaries, and the majority of t he private soldiers, acquiesced in it, and although the former - ,,ledged themselves to its adoption by oath and by deeds .ormally signed and sealed, the Giivernment, neverthe- less, could Got be blitid to the 'secret repugnance with which this militia adhered to the will of the Sovereign in the first moment of surprise. It took the necessary measures of.preceution, and soon felt that they were any thing but superfluous. " Immediately after the publication of the new regu. lations, the Janissaries incorporated in the regular-army shewed,, in their exercises, towards the officers who commanded them, a resistance, which soon. became a sullen fermentation, the first traces of which discovered themselves on the 14th, in the evening, by the assem bling of several groups of this body. At length, in the night between the 14th and 15th, the insurrection be came a complete revolt. A troop of the mutineers, after midnight, advanced violently towards the hotel of the Aga Kapussi of th e J an i ssar i es , to massacre their Gene ral in Chief; but he had just time to save himself in the Palace of the Court, in the apartment of the Grand Vizier. The rebels having thus failed in their first at tempt, wreaked their fury on the house of the Aga, and against his family, whom they treated in the most cruel manner. They then proceeded towards the house of', the Nedschib Effendi, the agent of Mohammed Ali Pacha, who had lately returned from his mission to the Morea, and who, as one of the most enthusiaitic friends of the new order of things, was particularly hated by the Janissaries. They did not find him, but his house was pillaged and destroyed with shocking barbarity. " While this was going on, the more numerous body had proceeded to the Palace of the Porte, to see the Grand Vizier. He, having been apprized by the Aga, had already fled from hie" Palace, with his family and domestics, and retired to Jali-koschk, a pa vilion of the Grand Seignor, situated near the Seraglio, on the side of the harbour. There the partisans of the Government were gradually collected, while the rebels were employed in pillaging the Palace of the Pone, or scattered about in public'houses, abandoning themselves to the greatest excesses. " At day break, those of the Janissaries who were in barracks assembled in the square of Etmeidan, situated in the midst of them, and well known in former revolts. There they carried their standards, and, by public criers, gave notice to all the surrounding quarters, that every Janissary should meet at the common place of assembling. A similar summons was sent to the Tsche bedschis, in the neighbourhood of the Mosque of St. Sophia. The Government, meantime, was not idle. On the first news of the seditious explosion, the Sultan Mahmoud had quitted his summer palace of Beschik tasch, on the European bank of the Bosphorus, to re turn to the Seraglio. By degrees, the Ministers and Chiefs of departments, the Mufti, the principal Ule. mahs, assembled at Jali.kosclik round the Grand Vizer. Soon afterwards the Aga Hussein Pacha, commander of the camp of observation on the European side, and 'Mehemet Pacha, commander of the Asiatic camp, was seen to arrive with numerous troops, which weie joined by several . battalions of cannoniers and hombardiers,with pieces of cannon from the battery of Tophana. A con. siderable military force being thus collected under the eyes of the Sultan, who, in the attire of a warrior, him self directed the military dispositions, marched towards the Hippodrome. The standard of Mahomet was hoisted before the Mosque of the Sultan Ahmed; and by the public criers in every quarter of the town and suburbs, an appeal was made to every good Mussulman to range himself with arms under the stantlar'd of the Prophet. Numerous armed groups ran front all parts to the Atmeidan. Encouraged by the intrepidity of the Grand Seignor, and the warlike ardour of Hussein Pacha, they all swore to defend the Sultan and the throne to the last drop of their blood. " The same appeal had been made to all the muti neers. Three times they were summoned to return to the standard of the Prophet. They hautily braved each appeal, and answered, that they woul.l not submit to the will of the Sultan before the new regulations were re scinded, and they had delivered up to them the heads of vie Grand Vizier, of Hussein Pacha, of the Aga of the Janissaries, and of Nedschib Effendi. Furious at this de mand, and far different from his predecessor, Selim 111. who was the victim of his own weakness, the Sultan Mahmoud ordered Hussein Pacha to march with all the troops at his disposal against the rebels,whom a sentence of the Mufti had already put out of the pale of law. Hussein Pacha, at the head of several thousand men, marched rapidly against the rebels, who could not resist the impetuosity of his attack. They withdrew along the Atmeidan, and threw themselves into their barracks. Se veral rounds of cannon and grape shot burst asunder the gates; after a short struggle, the rebels were de. teased. There was then terrible carnage among the barracks, which were set on fire ; the conflagration seized several neighbouring houses, the proprietors of which have been completely indemnified by the Sultan. In a few hours the issue of the day, and the fate of the Janissaries, were decided. The loss of the rebels killed, including those who perished in thl flames, is estimated at between 2,000 and 3,000 men. That of the troops of the Grand Seignor is, in comparison, very lktle. In the barrack:4l*re found considerable treasures, which wereflibandoned as booty to the conquerors. The fu gitives were pursued in all directions ; and those who had taken refuge in the stone buildings near the gate of Adrianople and the Seven Towers were successively compelled to surrender. On the 16th, which was Friday, when the Sultan went to his accustomed prayers to the Mosque, near the Seraglio, he was not accom panied by Janissaries, but only by cannoniers and bom bardiers. Meanwhile the Ministers bad assembled in a tent pitched on the Atmeidan, under the Presidency of the Grand Vizier, Hussein Pacha, and the Mufti, and formed themselves into a tribunal to ti y the rebels. —All the Janissaries who had been taken with arms in their hands, but principally their Ystas and the other Officers who had previously sworn to adopt the reform, were, after a thou examination, executed. The less guilty were conducted to the prisons of the Bostanje Baschi. On the 17th while this tribunal was still sitting, a proclamation was published, which dissolved for ever the corps of Janissaries, devoted their name to execra tion, and decreed the formation of regular and disci plined troops, under the name of daskers muhammedije, for the defence of the empire and Islamism. " At the same time the citi*ns and peaceable inha ibitants of the capital were invited to open their shops, which had been shut for three days, and to pursue tt eir usual occupations. No one was allowed any more to appear in the dress of a Janissary, or to bear that name. a All their barracks were destroyed from top to bottom ; their kettles, which had been sq often the signal of revolt, broken ; the distinctive marks of the mat, or regiments, taken away, trampled upon by the Mufti, and destroyed. In fine, everything has been annihilated which formerly pertained to this militia, once so formidable. All the posts hitherto occupied by the Janissaries have been surrendered to the can noniers and the Bostangis ; and at the twenty-four gates of the city there have been established as many Ka pidshi-baslai, with a guard of 24 men of these troops. " The following day the Grand Vizier transferred the seat of Government from Atmeidan to the Flist Court of the Seraglio, where since the Ministry, sur rounded with 'armed men, transact business under tents, whilst, in the other pasta at that Court, the troops are exercised in the European fashion. s' In spite of the promptitude with which the struggle has been decided in the interior of the city, people were not entirely at ease about the issue which it.was going to take, while they were ignorant of the part which the garrisons on the Bosphorus were to take, the Yamach known in the former insurrections of the Janissaries.— But the latter not only kept perfectly quiet, but even declared that they were disposed to ce-nperate in main taining good order, and assisting the Sultan with all their force to overthrow the mutineers. The Grand Seignor thanked them for their good intentions, and sent them a present of 300 purses, to be divided among the garrisons of the 'castles. The question is now, whether the Ya. macs shall be permitted to retain the present organiza tion; for they de not appear disposed to adopt the new. one, and Hussein Pacha, whose penetration nothing that can endanger the present state of things escapes, will not assuredly lose sight of these castles and their garrisons. el The following are the principal changes which have taken placein consequence of the dissolution of the corps of Janissaries, and of the events which have led to that measure: Hussein Pacha, known under the name of Aga Pacha, to whom is due the chief glory of the victory, both in relation to the measures which be took, as by the bravery which he displayed in the struggle, has been nominated Seraskier or Generalissimo of all the troops of Islamisin. His head-quarters bad been established at first in the hotel formerly belonging to the Aga of the Janissaries; He has now transferred them to Eski.Setai (the ancient Seraglio), which is surrounded by high and strong walls. The women of the Sultan have been coo -1 ducted into the place called Tschifte•Serai. Front this strong position, which commands the quarters formerly inhabited by the Joniciaries, Hussein Pacha is in a state to repress every movement in the interior of the city.... The former hotel of the Aga of the Janissaries has been assigned to the Mufti for his functions; and by this means it I•.as likewise been placed under the protection of religion. State buildings will likewise be assigned to the two principal judges of the army, as well as to other persons invested with the principal functions of the ulemas. " The Aga of the Janissaries had been named Miri- Achar (first squire), but the cruelties exercised by the revolters on his family made so lively an impression upon him that he refused the place, and begged to, retire. The other promotions have, for the most part, been given to the Generals and Officers belonging to the Staff of the corps of Janissaries who remained faith. ful to the Government. " The Porte has thought proper to take still further measures to destroy the spirit of sedition, and to secure the public tranquillity. As the numerous class of ham mals, or porters, who wei e in a great measure inscribed on the list of Janissaries, not only joined them in all tu mults, and showed on all occasions a character inclined to pillage and violence, vexatious to the peaceful inhabi tants of the capital, but on this occasion committed rob beries, and broke into houses, all the Turksh harnmals have been excluded from the tribe of Carriers, their chief has been executed, and they themselves have been banish ed front the capital. Several thousandsof them have been transported to the shore, escorted by soldiers, and have been embarked for Asia ; each of them has received a passport, containing an express prohibition not to return to Constantinople; the Kurds will have the same fate. The firemen have likewise been banished, and *their Chief has been executed. Ira future, porters and firma; will be selected from the Armenian nation. ',Their Patriarch has been requested to procure 10,000 iodi• viduals to execute these fuctions. . - " The numerous class o f b oatmen ,. which consisted kewise, in a great part, of Janissaries, will experience a similar reform. There is no doubt that the Govern ment wishes to destroy every trace of this corps, in order to render its insurrection impossible These arrange. ments have likewise been extended to the Janissaries who were allotted to foreign missions, as guards of honour and messengers of dispatch. The Government has reclaimed from these Janissaries the distinctive badge of courier, and permits no embassy to send from this city other persons than the Tatars of the Porte. " Much activity is shown in the enrolment of the regular troops. In all the open spaces of the capital troops are seen at their exercise, for the purpose of dis ciplining them: several officers of the army of Egypt have been sent for, and t h e i n di v id ua l s w h o formerly served under the Sultan Selim in the troops of the Nizam-djedid have been employed. The Sultan Mah tnoud attends often in person at these exercises, both within and without the Seraglio, and encourages the troops by his presence and by gifts. " Among the arrangements which had served to prepare the blow aimed at the corps of Janissaries, and to ensure its success, must be mentioned chiefly the actual increase of the corps of artillery, which, since the time of &lint 111., has always been subjected to military discipline and to regular exercises. Lately this corps, in the capital alone, had been increased to 14,000 men, and both by its fidelity and bravery has completely justified the confidence of the Government. Several Pachas of the neighbouring provinces likewise received orders to march upon the capital with their troops. le We have not yet received from the other cities and provinces of the Empire any report of the sensation which this event has created. Nevertheless, the Go.
