candour, a doubt of this has been admitted
fob argument's sake, the impessibility of such a

• CON4TANTINON.R, AUG. g.--Tumultuous COM-
. =ikons still continue in the Ottoman Empire, and
especially in the neighbourhood of the Capital ; and
since the conclusion of the, Armistice with Russia,
they have become much more violent. The Janis-
saries at Constantinople have issued an Order, that
noonewho has once deserted his colours 'shall be
again received. So great was the confusion and
want of discipline in the Turkish Army, that the
Aga of'the Janissaries became ,thevi&im of it, being
-massacred by a body of Insurgents, among whom he
endeavoured to restore order by severity.. Soon af-
ter, the' discontent, of the troops broke forth against
KIA IA BEY and the REIS EFFENDI, who were obliged°
to fly. :The former fled to Widdin, and .the latter
to MUSiA.PHA BAIR ACTAR. Their places were im-
