ERTORICAL EILITCN or THE LATE REVOLUTION 1N

When, after the accomplis,unent of revolutions,
we meet with ancient prophecies, which cot re:pond
with tie events witnessed by the pre,ent genera; ion,
it is impossible to suppress a cl^tiot yncerning the
antiquity of the pretended prophet, and the aut`len-
tieity of his pi eliaion. But Wien vitt; a predinion
is krrwn to have bee' made public trios mouths
before the event to which it refers, as i, the care
with that of the celebrated Francis Moore*, relative
to the deposition of the Tur'si,h Emperor, the ..:oin-
ciJence between the prophecy and the event is a
strung, or at least an interesting plonowcnon.—
Tite friendly warning given by this seer was placed
only a month too early; in oti,er respras hi. pre-
thAion was fully accomplished. It is scarcely pos-
sible to a.critie this rife& to English agency..
Cool.l the adhtrents to the Briti.h system have

France ? The tendency of the late revolution in
Constantinople was purely Turkish, Arch-Mahn se-

Such catastrophes, orig;nating with elat corps of

atrocity upon atrocity, and caused the sispose..l Sul-

and their c!Oldren, to be murdered. In order to
preserve a crown acquired by part icide and violence,

which o,:aan, in 1621, lost both his crown and his

of five months, in 1023. He was now strangled

in the nineteenth century, the influence they hal
lost during the reigns of the preceding Emperors,
and raise/ Selim's cousin, Mustapha IV. the eldest
:on of the Sultan Abdul Hamid, who, with ha
larot!ier Ikl.shmud, had been previously confined in
the re.cei‘ei of the Seraglio, to bs Emperor or
Padi,chaii of the Ottontins.

lution WAS the predominant feature of Se-
lon's char Atter: but such a charafter is not fitted,
'especially at the present moment, fur the Turkish
throne It already totters to its base, and can only
be u;Nheld by a mind sufficiently energetic to eon.
tend with the exigencies of these turbulent times.
In order to its susses, this effort must be seconded
by on improved organization of the slumbering
energiPs of the Ottoman Empire. To effect this,
inclination and attivity are exerted in vain. The na-
tion has not advanced with the times ; and, because
it will not prcceed, it goes backward. Mahometan-
ism produces in the Tuiks a bigotted attachment
to the customs and institutions transmitted to them.
Hut the martial spirit has ceased to animate these
forms ; which, if they even possessed their ancient
energy, would scarcely be able to maintain them-
selves against 012 superior intelligence of the lith
and 19th cent...ry.

How slid Selim attempt to steer between these
rocks, to appease the conflict between external ne-
cessity for increased aft:ray and internal fanatical
counteraction ? His sound understMscling had long
acknowledged the decisive advantages of the politi-
cal inst4utions of Europeans, and especially of their
military system. The assistance he had received
from them, in rime: of need, had augmented this
tendency in the unfortunate Prince. When Nelson
destroyed the French fleet at Aboukir, when Sir
Sidney Smith fought under the Turkish standard
at Aboukir, he threw himself into the arms of the
English. At that time the orthodox Mussulmans
manifested their discontent at the intimate emulation
between their Soveleign and infidels.
This ftiendship, however, gradually declined,
and was at length converted into coldness, when
Napoleon increased the splendour of the Imperial
throne et eSted in France. by a series of viltories on
the Continen:, when his troops, having obtained
access into Dalmatia, approached the Turkish
Frontiers, and the acute Sebastiani, who had
studied in several journies the spirit of the Turkish
Government, appeared as the French Ambassador
at Constantinople. He soon silenced the remaining
frien.ls of the Anglo-Ruseian system, and gained
the full cenfidenLe of the Emperor Selim. What
strengthened this confidence was the essential ser-
vices rendered by General Sebastian', and the offi•
sets who accompanied him to the capital of the
%unmans, when it was menaced by the English
fleet. Among any other people. such services
would have acquired lasting claims to gratitude.
Not so among the Tusks. Wish fanatic discon-
tent they beheld the atlivity with which the French
contributed to the defence of Constantinople, and
the fortiScatim of the Dardanelles. The attach-
ment of the Grand Signior to the Yaurs (infidels),
the intimacy between them, and the faithful of the
Divan. which was a natural consequence of the
welcome and essential assistance of the French, re-
volted the online:buy of the ,Nlosulmans. Its in-
dignation was direibri against the European regu-
lations, in the introdeltion of which Selim had been
from time to time nbstrolled by the expressions of
di.contcnt, and its hostility was particularly dis-
played against the Nixam Gedid. This term was
applied to i reformation of the military and
financial system, and especially the organisation of
a new corps of troops, clothed, armed. and
exercised, in the European manner. The Janissa-
ries, who had founded the empire of the Ottomans
in Europe. beheld, with great dissatisfaction, this
' new military force, which appeared to be raised in
opposition to them, and might ultimately lead to the
dissolution of their body. In September, 1806,
they forced the Grand Signior, at Adrianople, to
promise to disband the soldiers of the NM= Gad.
This was not done. Selim, who, since Sebastiani's
arrival, had conceived a still greater affection for
European mannc:s, instead of diminishing the new
troops. increased and favoured them. It was said,
that the augmentation of the imposts, a natural con-
sequence of the war. was expended upon them ; and
that the Emperor, in the absence of the Janissaries
with the army of the Grand Vizier, would call those
oisnosions troops to Constantinople. and entrust
them with the custody of the forts. Sclim's down-
fall was now dttermiaed. A single drop was suffi-
cient to make the vessel run over.

The inadvertent Prince himself furnislied but too
many unexpeae3 occasions. The interior of the
Seraglio, at C3nstantimple, is regarded as the
walan saaellerissa. It contains a beautiful : limo-
meat of antiquity, which no trav,:lier was CV::: yet

sador, Sebastiani. and his numerous retinue, to
examine this work of art in the Seraglio. Selint
afforded another proof of his disregard of popular
prejudices and ryinions. when, ou a Friday. to-
wards the conclusion of May, after attending the
Nfosgee, he ordered not only the Janissaries, but a
guard composed partly of those troops, and partly
of the soldiers of the Nizam Gedid, to attend him.
Finally. he farther JlClted the fanatic intolerance
of the Nounlaws', by investing General Sebastiani
with the Grand CrNs of the Legion of Honour.
which the Xmp'ror Napoleon had sent to Con-
stantinople to reward the zeal displayel by his Am-
bassador.

The malcontents execute] their long-matured
projeft, while Sebastiani had gone to the Darda-
nelles, to inspeft the preparations for defence; pen-
bably they purposely chose the moment when the
Grand Signior was separated from this intelligent
adviser. An apparently trivial altercation, between
a Janissary and a slither of the Nizam Ged id, was
the immediate cause of the explosion on the 2.5.11 of
May. The spirit of sedition which had manifested
itself so early as March and April, among the gar.
rison of the Dardanelles, and in the camp of the
Grand Vizier, now broke out into open violence
among the garris m of the castles at the entrance of
the Bosphorus. IVith the outcry that they would
sot suffer any European discipline to be forced
upon ithem, they killed the Commandants of the
Asiatic forts, Cavak and Madschinburen ; and the
Reis Effendi, Sasi Effendi, whose evil genius had
led him just at this turbulent moment to vi it the
posts of the Castles, was likewise sacrificed by the
exasperated Janissaries, as the chief author of the
innovation in the military and financial sys:ems.—
The imbecility of the Sultan increased their au-
dacity. He granted them an amnesty, acceded to
all their demands, and dispatched the Bostangi
Baschi to restore tranquillity by concessions and
money. Tnis faithless servant kept the money,
which he ought to have distributed, returned to the
capital without quelling the inzurralion, and de-
ceived Salim by a false report.
While he was indulging in careless repose, the in-
surgents, by signal guns, summoned their code.
derates to accomplish the revolution. They
thronged in thousands at the summons, and the
multitude kept continually increasing on the way to
Constant. neple.
In the evening of the 2liith of May, 15,000 Ja-
nissaries entered the suburb of Pera, where they
made themselves masters of the guns of Tophana,
and appointed an Albanian, who followed the oc-
cupation of a copper-smith, to be their leader.
Never was a revolution effected with greater tran-
qudlity and order, especially at Constantinople.
Witham injuring the person or property of any of
the inhabitants of the metropolis on their march, the
insurgents proceeded quietly to die place Elmeidao,
which has always been the theatre of such like
commotions. Here, beside the barracks of the
Janissaries, they hoisted their colours and also their
camp-kettles, as the symbol of insurrection. The
ringleaders resolved to support their undertaking by
the authority of the laws. They gained over the
Mufti during the night to their interest. He was
joined by the Lieutenants of the Grand Vizir, and
of the Aga of the Janissaries, the Kaimakan, to-
gether with the two Kadileskiers of Romelia and
Anatolia, who demanded the total suppression of
the obnoxious Nieam Gedid, on which a jet web of
the Mufti pronounced an anathema. The terrified
Salim, who had meanwhile caused the gates of the
Seraglio to be shut, and hail collefted cannon and
soldiers in its courts, lost ail presence of mind, and
instead of complying with their demands, sent the
insurgents three heads of members of the divan.
By an unlucky mistake, ore of the viltims was un-
intentionally sacrificed, he having been a great fa-
vourite with the Janissaries. Now that blood had
Rowed, the insurgents resolved to shed that of the
Ministers whom the voice of the people accused as
the promoters of the new reforms. These, to the
number of ten, were sought oat and cruelly put to
death in the place Elmeidan. This cruel proce-
dure, however, was not wholly arbitrary. The
Multi was first consulted, and he pronounced yen.
tence on the members of tile divan, who were &sir
our of introducing the co.,tote. of infidels among
the Mussulmaus, and of hum'sling toe Jenivaries,
the real proteaors of the laws and of their Prophet.

raglio contained 700 of the most beautiful females
from almost all parts of the world, yet during the
years of his reign, he had not begotten a son ;
and by the accounts of recent writers, it was not to
be expcazd that he would give new branches to ties
House of Osman. This circumstance had f::.
queue.), excited discontent among the Turks, who
are fond of seeing an increase of the Imperial
Family, and are always fearful lest the ancient
race of Osman should become extina. Some
years ago, the Janissaries bad fondly murmured on
this account, and bad threatened to murder the
Grand Signior unless he soma procured an heir to
the throne. Some have ascribed the cli..appeiut_
ment of this general *ids to the effeas of poison,
administered by the Sultana Valile, the mother of
Mustapha IV. to Selina. before his usesana to the
throne, Whether this cause be true or not, inedi.
cal experience demonstrates the possibility of the
effea. eln the fetwork, by which the Muf i declared
that Selim was incaptcitated to sit on the Ott sas ea
throne, his want of issue WAS ass'gr.ed as t;:c p:ia-
cipal reason.

On this declaration by the Clbief of the Mshume-
tan clergy, the whole host of Janissaries, reinforce/
by thousands of the true believers, proceeded to the
Seraglio, all the walls and avenues of which were
surrounded. The Mufti and the Limas only went
in to tke unfortnnateTrince, to whom they rr..ti a
long list of the faults attrihnt.td to him du:kg his
government, among 'shish the decoction of tl.e
Legion of Honour was not forgotten. They found
him perfealy resigned. SeUm bad already con-
cluded his cousin Mustapha from the quarter of the
Seraglio in which he was cenCard, to the hall cos.
raining the throne ; anl att-r giving him various
rules and precepts frundel on experience, bad
wished him a more prosper-u; rtigo. As Selina
had always been well treated by Abdul Maid, be
had in return shewn the greatest friendship and
kindness to his sons, Mustapha and Mahmud, after
his accession to the throne. Mustaphs, recalle2ing
this, embraced his unfortunate dethroned cousin,
Selim, called him his friend, and, when tie 11:cr
was about to put an end to his life, by a cup r f
poisoned sherbet, he hastened to prevent his design.
The Turkish history presents several examp'.e. of
deposed Emperors, who lived a considerable t7me
after their deposition, without giving any uneaiue..:s
to their successors.

With what feelings must Selim, who for 1$ years
had been the absolute Sovereign of the Ottomans,
have done homage to the young Mustapha ? When.
agreeably to custom, he had first prostrated himself
before the new Emperor, and kissed the skirt of his
robe, be quickly withdrew, and repaired to that
part of the Seraglio where the Princes of the Im-
perial race of Osman, who are not of the reilnirg
family, reside. Selim, when lie mounted fn.,.
throne, was exaBly of the same age as ilirlustap'l t
IV. who was born on the 7th of September. 177:`.
During his reign, a period of IS years. fortune has
seldom smiled upon him ; with his gentle dispo.U.
tion, and various attainments, he would tindoubte2.ly
have been more happy in a private station.
In thirty-six hours, this revolution, unparaliel: I
with respett to orJer and quietness, was accom-
plished. At one o'clock in the afternoon of the
89th of May, Mustapha IV. was nominated Em-
peror of Turkey, and Ruler of the Faithful, and nn
the 3d of June he was begirt with the sabre of the
Prophet Mahomet, with the usual ceremonies, in the
mosque of Eyub, amid the acclamations of the peo-
ple. The first ad of his reign was the abolition of
the Nizam Gedid, which is to be superseded by a
very numerous carps of artillery ; and a proclama-
tion promised the re-establishment of the ancient
customs, as they bad sub►isted under Abdul Hamill.
The fulfilment of this promise will not be difficult
en Mustapha IV. who is a zealous Mu:sal:nut.
This attachment to Mahometanism, Met:lolled by
his education in the Seraglio, a great firmness and
decision of charafter, which befits any throne, and
particularly that of the Ottomans, and an extra.
ordinary dislike of 11l who do not conform to the
p. ecepts of the Great Prophet, an consevenily to
forriza Ministers, are resn:na thtt form a
Eriking contrast with the qia!ities and bias of
