`..;;LNLIs, Dic. 13.----ince yesterday a variety
of reports have been in circulation repecting the
events at Constantinople, the authenticity of
which, however, we cannot guarantee :---On the
With of November, a fire is said to have broken
out at Constantinople, which destroyed the third
of the suburbs.' The Janissaries, it is supposed,
set fire to the town, and in the midst of the con-
fusion, penetrated into the Seraglio, and carried
off the young Prince Abdul Jiamed, the sole re-
maining offspring of the Imperial Family. The
fears entertained for the life of the Sultan made
persons believe at first that he was assassinated;
but this is now well known to be false. Intoxi-
•,cated with their success, the Janissaries after-
wards demanded, in an imperative tone, the de-
livery of three Ministers, among whom was
thief: Effendi, who is generally detested, and
also that the presidency of the Divan should be
given to their deputies.
