IMPERIAL. PROCLAMATIONT. ••;
CoNSTAkTINOPLE, DEC. 4.—By the blessing of the t'ropbet,
the formidable rebellion which threatened even the existence of
our En-Tire, and the maintenance of its holy religion, has been
terminated. The streets ef our capital were crowded with the
carcases of the dead, Who expiated their crimes by the -scyme-
ter ; and the scaffold is yet reeking with the blood of the vic-
tims sacrificed to the justice of our cause. Ten thousand Janis-
saries suffered by the swords of our brae and loyal subjects,
three thousand bled beneath the hands of the public executioner,
and an equal number by the just laws of our sacred religion
have been condemned to imprisonm,ant; until they are released
from the torment of this world to succeed to the tortures of the
next.
• The blessed Prophet, who constantly watches over our wel-
fare, knows with what anguish we beheld this scene of horror
and desolation. He knows that every Mussulman that fell
gave a pang to our paternal heart ; but Justice, who never calls
in vain when she dues demand satisfaction, must be obeyed, and
to her dietzaes we bowed while the fatal sentence was pronoun-
ced. It was thus that the Divine Power exterminated those
. who ventured to disturb our tranquillity, and from whom we
have nothing to fear. On the love of our faithful people we
shall always securely rely, to detect and expose those traitors
who, unawed by this dreadful example, may still endeavour, by
their insidious arts, to weaken that authorityl which the blessed
Prophet has confided in our hands.
Peace being then restored to our Capital, his Sublime High.
ness cannot avoid repeating his ardent wishes for the restora-
tion of tranquillity to his beloved subjects in the distant pro-
vinces ef his Empire. Terms were offered in our name to the
Commander •of the Russian 'armies, which it was expected
would meet with, immediate acceptance. But the hope was in
vain. Late - SuccesA:s had' made our enemy haughty and un-
tractable, and although the whole of 'the province of Moldavia
was offered to be ceded to Russia, and to be annexed to her
kmpire, yet the proud and vain-glorious General rejected the
4iffer, and insiated not only that Moldavia, but that the entire
fertile province of Wallachia should he comprehended in the
grant. Yet this was not 'all—the neutrality of Servia was not
to be allowe4.l, and ahe,was-to be compelled as a separate power
to treat wfth Russia,andfulf indemnity was to be granted under
iier.tormer seditious treason. and impiety: ' •
Thus circumstanced ow- faithful people will not he surprised,
tlit.in our name the Ccirrunander-in-Chie4 'the Grand Vizier,
Aiesitated.. He dispatched couriers to our capital, and in. return
we commanded him' to break off the ncgociatiOn, and to act on
the Offensive: Thee at length it was that our enendeslsepented
