Guess*, Auc. 25.—We have news from Constantinople of
the 16th. The Sultan pursues his plan of reform, but only by
the most complete terrorism. The introduction of blows into mi-
litary service extremely shocks the Mussulman. There are, how-
ever,-preferences for certain ranks. When an Emir, for instance,
receives a bastinado, he is td have the privilege of taking off his
turban during the operation.
The Pfivy Councillors of the Sultan appear, nevertheless, frill
of confidence in the success of their gigantie enterprise. The
Mufti has even thought proper to express his hopes, in a copy of
verses which he has presented to his Highness. It is remtrkable
that every strophe terminates by the word ibtida, which. signifies
commencement.

The following is a translation of the two first strophes :
fhe new army is organizing. ' Every youth is to become a
lion. The Franks have no longer any hope. They themselves
hive taught us what we know. Behold the beginning.
The seven kings can no loner doubt of this. Our valour
shines brightly in their eyes. It is their plans which we follow.
Thrones are delighted. Behold the beginning.'
'The seven kings are—the Emperors of Russia and Austria, the
Kings of France, England, Prussia, Spain, anti Portugal. The
Mussulmans do not even know that others exist.

SEatmt, Ana. Aldose!), so celebrated for his
cruelties, has caused a foreign subject to he dragged from his
house. He gained his livelihood at Belgrade by copying MSS.,
and by giving lessons in the Greek and Walachian languages.
He had imprudently copied tome seditious writings, and for this
Aldose!) has caused both hiss hands to he chopped off, and Janusch,
the brother of Miloseb, whoM the Servians describe as a monster,
cut out the poor wretch's tongue with his own hand, and thus
mutilated, caused him to be delivered to the troops at the Austrian
quarantine.
Extract of a private letter of the 19th ult. from Constantinople :
—" Everyone is anxious to know what will be the issue of the
conferences at Akerson that have been so long retarded, through
the fault of the Turks. After a very haughty note upon the
choice of a town for the place of meeting, the Turkish Commis-
siOners proceeded at length to Akermaim, and there had a first
conference on the 136, at which the. Turks demanded the pure
And simple execution of the article of the treaty of Bticharerit, which
guaranteed to the Porte the restoration of the Asiatic fortresses.
The Russian Commissioners declared that the Emperor would
never consent thereto, seeing that these fortresses are actually situ-
ated in countries Which by late conventions have been rendered
subject to the sovereignty of Russia. It aeons that since this inter-
view, every thing has rentabled in a state of stagnation, and that
the respective Commissioners have sent couriers to their Courts,
to ask for fresh instructions. M. Minziacki has had conferences
with several distinguished Walachians and Moldavians, since
which a rumour has prevailed that Russia not only opposes the
restitution of the Asiatic fortresses, but demands the complete and
rigorous maintenance of the rights secured to Walachia, Moldavia,
and even Servia, under the guarantee of Russia.
