SEPTEMBER 19. GERMANY. REVOLUTION IN TURKEY. rr vv 4. A va. 24.—Between the ISth and 29th of July, • 0 is 'pie was the scene of remarkable events. . • kth of Jul), the Aga of the Janissaries arrived in the ( • h 15,000 men, at Daud Pacha, where he formed an t i LIVIA. • ,ne 19th, in the morning, the Grand 7 Seignior Mustapha IV: 41:.(1 1 his court, went out to meet the Sanghiaki-Sherif, mil, standard of the Prophet. He met that ensign of the su -1 erge dignity of a Kalif between highly Koi and IMO Pa ; and the instant he Sass it, he alighted from his horse, mo mentarily prostrated himself on the ground' and then-pressed Ile standard against his forehead. The Grand Vitier inirnedi atelv after introduced to the Sultan, the two subordinate com manders, Herein Pacha and the celebrated Pacha of Rudshurk, Nu•tapha Bairactar. After conversing some time with them, he rode back to the Seraglio, where he held a Rikial, or Privy Council. He then set out once more to receive the standard of the Empire, which had, during this interval, arrived at the Porte, and which he deposited in the Kirkai Sherif Odassi, Cm apartment appropriated to it in the interior of the Sertiglio. On the same day a severe action was fought off the mouth of the Dardanelles between an English frigate and several Turkish gun boats : the result was decidedly disadvantageous to the latter. On the 19111, in the evening, the Aga of the Janisitaries died suddenly in his harem, and was succeeded in his Office by Seituen iase;li. The same day, Mustapha Bairactar sent tan body of 1000 horse to the relie f Kentengi Oglu Aga, who formerly ::tt.Ackell the famous Kavaghi Oglu, and who was at that time be,ieAed by the Tahiales in Fanaraki, one of the castles of the Dardanelles; however, this happened too late, as this small party having been overpowered the preceding night, was obli g,d to take refuge in the adjacent woods, and afterwards to re treat along the famous aqueduct of the Emperor Justinian to Birgos. Here they again rejoined the army of Mustapha Bai raerer. The Tahiales, being struck with terror, submitted on the fatlolving, day, and entered, partly on board the fleet, and part ly into the service of Mustapha. On the 21st, Mustapha Bairactar, at the head of 1500 chosen cavalry, made a formal visit to the Grand Vizier. The latter hiotinted his horse, while Mustapha and his numerous cavalcade w7tited for him. They then proceeded to be present at an Assent bl:. of State, held at the Palace of the Grand Seig nor, when Mufti Al Allah Effendi was displaced, and Arbzarl Arif Bey oas apointed in his place. On the following day, both the Ka dileskers, and several Officers of the .Janissaries were also remo ved, as was also Muhib Effendi, and UI Ulema (President of the Conferences with Foreign Ministers); and the whole of these Officers were banished to Cyprus, Brussa, and Kutania. Not t listanding; these proceedings, all these changes appeared to he too late, as a friend of Bairactar'., viz; Kaliang Oglu, advan ced from the Asiatic side with 5000 Natolian foot and 3000 ca valry, to Scut:try, where he formed a camp. The Grand Seignor the day before, had a view of Mustapha Bairactar's force froln a balcony, and on the 22nd, accompanied by several Officers Of state, he went to attend morning prayers with Mustapha in the (great Moscitte, near the new barracks, close by the entrance tf Pera. On the five following days public tranquillity remained, in a great measure, undisturb e d. On the 28th of July, the designs of Mustapha Rairactar were pr , tty well unveiled. After the Sultan had, by his own liatti sherif, appointed him Generalissimo of the Sublime Porte, he had the audacity -to surround the palace of the Grand Vizier ; he demanded of him the Great Seal of the Empire ; after which, he ',rot the Vizier a state prisoner, under a strong escort of ca valry, to the camp near Daud Pacha. Immediately after this, the Grand Seignor sent two black eunuchs and eight trusty Moors, % it it the silken bowstring, to his uncle, the deposed Sultan Sclim. body was actually exposed in the Great Court of the Serag lio; till the object of opposing thespians of Mitstapha's dependents 11;.1 mit sticceed ; and in the evening at five, the cannon from the St , ragiin, Tophane . , and the fleet, announced a change in the unient, and in the room of Mnstapha IV. his young brother Ni:thomed 11. the last 6rauch of the race of Osman, was pro tla"hsd• lle bas born on the 20th of June, 178.5. The new Sultan transmitted the Seal of the Empire to Mustapha Bairac tar, :old delivered the Moors beforementioued, for punishment, int , , the hands of the Rostang Pacha, or Captain of the Guard. Nwh:ng more remarkable has hitherto occurres in consequence :h;; revelation ) tttii the public peace seep to be perfectly r-s:,;red. 599 FRANKFORT, Aua 27.—We learn from Stiabia;' that the camp near Augsburgh will be pitched about half a league frotp that city.

The Junta of Seville have published a Proclamation, in which, after chewing the absurdity and danger of disputing :theta the successioa to the Crown, in the event of the demise of Ferdi nand VII. and his brothers, bin sheaving also that the rettenci ation of Charles IV. in favour of Joseph liohaparte, gave hint no claim td the Crown of Spain, they take into consideration, whether a Supreme Government, which may unite the sovereign authority of all the Provinces till the restitution of Ferdinand the Seventh, be necessary . ? : The Junta declare decisively that it is.—They then discus the question, whether the Cortes simuld he assembled had be convoked hy the ()hi Coentil of ? The old Council of Castile never convoked the. Cortes.—Ot4ht it then to possess an authority which it never did pose's; after having violated the fundamental laws, and riflOrded every faci lity to the enemy to usurp the Sovereignty ? The convocation of the Corte:: is the peculiar and exclusive privilege of the King, —The King being absent, could not exercise the to is ileg6 ; the Provinces would not submit to any other authority, would not unite, and there mild be uo Con es.--The Ju n ta, therefore, de clare against convokiwz the Corti s.—The kingdom found itself suddenly withouta K ieg and a tiovenimemt.—T he People there. fore legally resumed the power of appeintio,...o. a Government—a truth openly avowed by various Juntas.—The people created these Juntas, and the legitimate power therefore is deposited with them. The junta of Sesille then recommended that each of these Juntas should select from their ow n Members two De puties to form the Supreme Ciovernment.—The Supreme Govern ment to elect a President, who should only continue in office it limited time, a fortnight, a intoith, or any other time deemed most agreeable. Either Cuidatl litsal, or Almagro ' in La Man cha, is recommended as the most coeyenient City fur the seat of Government.—The Junta conclude as follows : " It remains only that we speak of this Supreme Junta of Se ville, upon which point we shall not say much. Certain per sons, either ignorant or malevolent, have endeavonred to spread the persuasion that we affected a : , uperiority u%er the e ther pro vinces.
