The following Hattechuf [Proclamation]
has been issued by the Grand SuPan :
“ i o my first Chief of the Belief, the
high Pontiff of the mortals (Mufti,) to my
brave Caimacian Pacha, my eminent minis
ters. my Worthy teachers and professors of
Theology, explainers of the Koran, and of
ti.trillion, my Irnans, the great of my' court,
my seven military corps, all Agas (Com
manders,) officers and soldiers, my servants
&c.
“ After my imperial greeting, it isneces
sary to inform you, that the treacherous
Muscovites, these enemies to faith, continue
in their resolution, to bring their devices
which their depraved souls have invented!
more and more i.-i execution. They have
invested imperial cities and fortresses with
war, anti further overrun the territory of
the true believers. They are not satisfied
with putting Mahomet's adherents, with
out distinction ot age and sex. in chains,
wherever they come, and to drive, many of
om plundered bre hren naked from tnrir
homes to seek a ahclter in the wilderness,
where nothing but chance, poverty, and mi
sery follow them ; but these Muscovites of
ter such cruel and unacceptable proposal*!
that it is impossible to perceive any despe
ot an approach intboip, but on the oontrary,
7 i
the forerunners of their destructive designs
are legible in every line, besides a seeming
challenge to an everlasting war. I for mv
part embrace instead of enduring so great
a shame, with a stand, and with unbounded
confidence, as the anchor of our hope and
our weliare, the two following sentences of
the Koran:
God has in this moment left you for a
while, because he knew you were weak—
but if you can only count a hundred brave
ane. courageous men among you then you
will, with the help of God. beat two hun
dred enemies. In another part says God to
the prophet. Assemble the true believers
for battle round about you, if there are 20
fnm and brave men. thin they will con
quer 200, and if there an 100. thet will beat
a 1000.
1 entreat the assistance of the Most High:
I pray for the spiritual influenctTof the pro
phet; I hasten to the field of victory, ready
to head in person the vanguard of the Mus
selraen.
As soon as this mv resolution will be
known, prepare tor this imperial ampaign
and assist me to order every thing.
I have only to add, that as I am march
,nS :‘Sa'”‘st the enemy, it is not my aim to
attribute the fruits of our vicories to my
sell. ^ 1 lie only aim of mv ambition is to let
the 1'aith of Mahomet triumph, to frustrate
the devices of our enem'es and if possible
to contribute to the fulfilling .»f his holy
will Though my commands that publish
my imperial campaign, have been known
throughout my extensive dominions, ye
it must be received by a
( alif with the pr< sent proclamation ; it is
to be forwarded from oue end to the other
of m\ empire.
Every Naib, whose inhabitants of towns
and villages, will not immediately march,
is to be suspended, and their clergyman to
lose his place
Without losing our precious time with
unnecessary discussion, with idle wishes,
and with insignificant arguments by com
paring the present with the past, it will be
more eligible to be anxious of amassing am
munition and other necessary articles, and
endeavor to be contented with such provi
sions which the times auil circumstances can
afford, and trust to the Almighty for victo
ry
W ith the purity of our designs, and only
trusting to the assistance of Almighty God.
let us rush to the field of battle against the
unbelievers! In one word, in all our regu
lations and proceedings, the quickest dis
patch is absolutely necessary.
May Divine Providence grant the victory
to his good so vaikS) and cover our enemies
with shame and confusion. Oh that this
may happen! The glorious issue depends
up n God! from him comes all success
Victory Is at hand.”

Gentlemen,
1 have the honor to receive an

expressive of their wishes that I should pre
sent certain petitions and suppor. the re
peal of an act, entitled the act of Union —
And your committee adds, that it speaks
with the authority of my constituting_
(the freemen and freehold**, of the City of
Dublin. 1
i neg to assure ynur committee, and thro’
them, my much beloved and much respect
cd constituents, that 1 shall accede to their
proposition ; I shall present tneir petitions
and shall support the repeal ol the Act of
Union with a decided attachment to our
connection with G. B.. and to that harmony
between the two countries, without which
the connection cannot last. I do not impair
either, as I apprehend, when 1 assure you
that I shall support the repeal of the Act of
Union. You will please to observe, that a
proposition of that sort in Parliament, to be
either prudent or possible, must wait until
it shall oe called for and backed by the na
cion. When proposed I shall then, as at all
tunes 1 h'.pe I shall, prove my.ielf an Irish
man. and that Irishman whose first and last
pas-<ioi) wag his native country.
As to the personal approbation with which
you have honored me, it is, I must say, Vour
kindness that overrates my pretension,which
neither age, nor time, nor distance can et
lace an attachment to Ireland unaltered &
unalterable
I have the honor to be,
W itu the greatest esteem,
Your very humble servant
