The Divan was assembled, and it appeared that a majority of the Members, gained over by England, gave their opinion, that the signature should ratify the preliminaries, but the Grand Seignor maintained the character he has Manifested since he mounted the throne, and he did not hesitate to reject the con ditions which stipulated the giving up a part of the Ottoman territory. Not only the partizans of g rce but hate been removed from the Divan, her .ufti has b!en deposed. Numerous executions have taken place in the night.
