CoNSTAKTINOPLE. DECEMBER 10.
An evens has occurred here within these few days,
which has caused • great sensation. and which af-
fords a further proof of the great irascibility of
the people of this capital. The Russian Captain
Rubinson, wishing to pass from Tarakoi, where
several merchant vessels were assembled, to the
other side of Balucklasor, for the purpose of their
discharging at once his cargo of corn. the sailors of
his crew proceeded to take the vessel in tow. A
Turk in a small boat wanting to pass before the
vessel, soil over the towing cable, picked a quarrel
with the Russians. They proceeded to violence, and
the vessel was quickly surrounded by about fifty
boats, arid taken by assault. The sailors thought 1
escape the danger by raising the Russian flag.
bus no sooner was it raised than it was pulled down.
and torn in pieces by the people. The crew sand
themselves on board several boats, and tranquillity
was not restored until the arrival of the Grand
Admiral's guard, who mounted the vessel. The
Russian immediately complained of the
insult offered to the RUM/Mill flag, and offered to
send in chains to Odessa any of the Russian sailors
who may be accused of ill conduct. The Turkish
authorities, on their port, caused some of the
tnutineers of the lower class of the people to be
imprisoned, and on the following day the Aga of
the Janissaries was deprived of his office and ba.
:tidied to Brous's.
