DESCRIPTION OF A TURKISH IMPERIAL ARMY

The following is a description of a Turkish Imperial Army
of Contingents, required -from the Viziers Pachas, or other
Governors of Provinces, written by an eye-witness :
The most accurate notion which can be formed of a Turk-
ish imperial army of provincial contingent troops (if troops
they deserve to be called) must be obtained by comparing
them with those bands of armed pilgrims, who, in days of
yore, traversed Europe from various countries to St. Jago
of ompostello, or our Lady of the Pillar, in Saragossa, to
the holy house of Loretto, &c. Regulating and animating
their march by hymns and litat4es, their devotions, unin-
terrupted excepting when some traveller was to be stript; or
some village to be plundered and burnt. But instead of
long trains of peregrinators adorned with crosses and cockle-
shells, the Ottoman .army exhibits Mahometan monks in
party coloured caps and garments, mounted, as a mark of
humility, on asses, marching at the head of tumultuary columns
flourishing the flags of the Prophet, and vociferating prayers
and imprecations with all their might. Beyond these appear
the'Delis, or select horsemen, who scour and plunder the coun-
try on every side. Then follow the Timanotes, or national
cavalry, mounted cm horses or mules, which they are bound to
provide; but rarely indeed in any other way than at the ex.
pence of their lawful owners, who fall in their route ; furnished
with pack-sadles and ropes for stirrups. Last advance the in-.
fantry,•ouce the glory of an Ottoman army, but now held as the
meanest body in their service.—Armed with guns without
bayonets, with enormous horse pistols and massy daggers, they
press forward in confused crowds, raising clouds of dust, as nu-
merous flocks of sheep hurried on by the shepherds. Behind
this infantry come the topgis, or artillery, their guns dragged
along by buffaloes, or by Christian slaves equally under the lash.
The rear of this strange association of barbarians of various
countries, languages, and habits of life,. some shouting and
singing aloud, others firing off their pieces loaded with ball
into' the air, is closed by the commanders of different ranks,
superbly apparelled, and surrounded by multitudes of insolent
attendants and servants, liberally exercising their cudgels on
all who do not keep a duly respectful distance from their haughty
masters. Notwithstanding their brutality, yet it is under
the protection of these attendants that the Greek suttlers and
canteeners, thejew furnishers of clothing, old or new, the
gypsey blacksmiths, conjurors, and fortune-tellers, poultry-
stealers, and when requisite, executioners, place themselves.—
No Turkish army ever takes the field without Jewish contrac-
tors and furnishers ; for they supply the Spahis and the Tirna-
riots with barley for their horses and bread corn for the men,
unless the army be to remain for some time in one position,
when the surrounding country, friend or foe, is equally laid
under contribution. When on a march, the army halt for the
night, and the attendants are employed to set up tents for com-
manders ; the bazaars, or markets, are opened in various parts
of the camp. The scouring parties produce the sheep, &c. they
have stolen ; the gypsies open their bags of poultry, often
suflbeated by the sulphur burnt under the trees or roosts to bring
them down ; the suttlers and coffee men display their stores
and stoves ; the Jews their scales for the exchange of money ;
Yesterday public notice was given, that a col- the soldiers sing to the sound of their lute ; the seraskier orcom-
mander holds his court; the great men give and receive visits
lection would be made at all the Church doors of of ceremony—but all this time no out-post, not even a sen-

protection of that fatality in which thew sence of Mussulmanism

consists.

investigation the next day, when the money
was paid. Such are the straws at which the
poor sinking Radicals catch'. The last time
they circulated a report of the Society's
annihilation, they were answered by' the con-
victions of two or three of their friends at
the Old Bailey : and, if we are not much
mistaken, they will soon be indulged again
with a similar proof of the Society's vitality. As
to the statement that " the sum originally sub-.
scribed amounted to between 25,0006. and
30,0001." we must own 'that we did not expect to
meet. with so barefaced a falsehood even in The
Tunes ; because the Subscription List has been
published over arid over again ; and aey child
may see that its utmost aggregate amount is
6,3001. With this small sum what wonders have
been effected.! The seditious Press has been al-

most silenced. The Times itself sweats with ter-,
ror at the lash suspended over its head. Nine
publishers of blasphemous and seditious libels
have been prosecuted to conviction. Eleven other
prosecutions are still depending; not to mention
the expence which was incurred in defending four
Members of the Association against one of the
basest and most infamous conspiraciep ever hatch- I
ed. Add to this, the encouragement given by
the Society to some writings of sterling merit;
and we shall be surprised that so great a national
benefit has been produced by means so limited.
The Association, however, is far from relaxing in
its vigilance: and The Times may be well assur-
ed, that the same loyal feeling and public spirit
which° gave , rise to the Institution will continue
to promote subscriptions to it, so long as they
may be wanted to carry on prosecutions against
Blasphemy' and Sedition.
