PROCLAMATION
TIIY stintATlE PORTS TO THE MUSNIULMAN PEOPLE AGAINST

*iicurrious CONVIRSATION.

" The militia of the Janissaries had 1;;;;; every one knows,
habituated, for a long time, to cast contempt upon the Sublime
Porte. Their treason end their excesses are too well known and
established. They have been entirely dissolved, conformably to
the divine law, and to the unanimons wish of all the Ulemad, .and
of all the friends of religion and GOverunient Their name and
their insignia have been for ever effaced from the surface of the
earth ; those who among them were the promoters of all the dis-
orders, anti who on that account merited death in the eyes of God
andof men, have received the punishment due to their crimes; others
have found in exile, or in other ehastisements, the price of their
works. Finally, thanks to God, Constantinople, and the rest of
the empire are freed from the calamities which their wickedness
occasioned. These evident mark. of the protection which divine
Providence extends to the .Sublime Porte, imposed, above all, the
obligation of clinging snore than ever to the unshaken foundation
of our holy religion. Now, to accomplish a duty sacred in the
eyes of every true believer—namely, that of watching over
preservation of the public treasury of the Mossulmans—all opi-
nions are united for the suppression of thoie of the other corps,
such as those of the Sipahees and the Siliktars, whose existence
had no other effect than the exhausting of that treasury. By this
measure, with the aid of 'God, and under the ahead)* of the power
of our exalted, potentondinajeatic Emperor and Sovereign-west-
ter of Aiusaultnany, the Caliph of the Prophet of God, we are as-
sured, on all points, of the destruction of. the enemies-of tin:
divine word. We have taken the proper means to secure the
tranquillity of the Musoulman nation. Every thing advancer,—
The man the least endowed with reason, the least attached!
to religion, is penetrated with gratitude for so many' bles-
sings of the divine goodness. Prostrate before God, he returns
thanks for it, and prays the almighty to. prolong the days
of his Highness. Nevertheless, there are among the Mussul-
mans, individuals, base, wicked, and animated by malevolence,
who, under the external appearance of devotedness to religion and
Government, are, at the bottom of their hearts, partisans and die-
turbers of the public order. To these are joined the wives of the
criminals who have been put to death or exiled, who had been,
cut of compassion, permitted to 'reside at Constantinople, along
with other wretches destitute of faith and reason. With the ob-
ject-of exciting troubles, they go about everywhere repeating—
' They are going to do this,' and Things are coining to that.'—
They spread every sort of lying rumours, ascribe to the Ministers
of the. Porte, and to •the agents of the Government, intentions
which never entered their heads, and thus extended anxiety and
trouble in the minds of the peaceable and well-disposed classes of
Mussulmans.

'1 In theie circumstances, particularly at the end of a conflagra-
tion, which was nothing else than a visitation from God, those
who escaped the disaster, or such us have suffered by it, ought to
reed in it a terrible lesson. Great and small, all ought to ex-
amine their own consciences, to pray for pardon fur all their sins
known or concealed, and' in every ease hasten to offs to the Su-
preme Tribunal the tribute of their prayers and humility, for the
purpose of warding off similar calamities. Ily these marks we
shall know them to be true believers; but we see, on the con-
trary, amongst them a crowd of ignorant persons, as little ac-
quainted with the dogmas us with the duties of religion, and des-
tined to suffer in this world and the next, listening only to the
suggestions of Satan, following only the impulses of their hatred,
indulging in sinful conversation, in wide', they throw upon the
Sublime Porto every species of accusation, which proves nothing
else than that' they do not know how to submit themselves
to the decrees of Providence, and that they revolt against the
commands of God himself. In their madness, they circulate
their lies amongst 'crowds and gossips, void, like themselves, of
all due sense of religiun,-and these in 'their turn endeavour to
spread them.
" Government has been 'apprised of all these proesualings. This
seditious talk is an act of high treason,. not only towards the Sub-
lime Porte, but towards all the disciples of Mahomet, and as it
can have no other effect than to disturb the public tranquillity,
every measure will he taken, both secret and open, to discover
those who indulge therein. They will certainly be found out, and
their punishment will deliver the Alussultnau people: reason and
religion equally demand it.
"From this day, henceforward, men disguised in a manner that
will secure them front the possibility of being, recognized, will tra-
verse all points of the city ; women will likewise be disguised, and
will penetrate into houses and public baths ; and henceforth, who-,
ever dares, man or woman, to spread false reports, and provoke to
disorder by seditious speeches, will be instantly seized. No par-
don, no delay, will be granted ; let them be great or small, it will

COVENT-GARDEN.
Last. night, Peveril of the Peak (adapted. from the novel Of
the same Mime), with the music by Horn, was repeated at
this Theatre. The tale from which it is .taken, is not by any
1 Maws the most dramatic of Sir W. Scott's fictions; and we can 7
• nut understand upon whet principle hives selected, when so men -

the strong spirit of vitality and ster •
second-rate
performances are brought for Ward as having stud'in them ou
which to :;round first-rate Operas% The plot of this one is some-
when
some-
thing to the flillewing effect ;—lt opens with a view of the. Court-
yard of Peveeil Castle,
.where the servants are expecting the ar-
rival of Sir Geeffrey (Paweett), in wheee stead appear the Coun-
tess of Derby. (Mrs. Faneit), and Fenella.the dumb girl (Miss M.
Glover). . The Ce,etess contrive* to gain an interview with Lady
Perand (Mrs. Sioman),and meets with Britlyenorth (Mr. Wards),
to which last she 'relates the ileeth of Christian on the Seaffold.
Brit/yet/orib enraged, threatens liar with`conlinentent, but is him-
self imprisoned ; eontriving, however,
shortlyafterwarne to escape,
he returns with Topluton ('Mr. MeedoWs), an officer of the Par-
liament, to take the
,Countess in/Act:stony, . en accomplice in the
plot of Titus Oates, brit Sir tV, . -
eitfre iii r has arrivol in the
interim, treats Topham's authority wik contempt, anti the
le,
Countess eterpes Thesz, incidents, re*ed, or rather lostled,
with some love-Recites between Alice B4enorth (Miss Paton)
and Julian Peveril (Mr. Sspio), make up. the first act. The
second opens with a piece of intelligence by Deborah Daitch
(Mrs. Gibbs), that Sir Geoffrey and hie lady are in the custody of
Briclyenorth, who also cootrives to gni n possesaion ofsfalian Peveril
in the !tripe, from his attachment to tikes, he unty be made to an-
ewer the Major's political purposes. After i variety of manteuvrws
on the part of one Whittaker, (Mr. Blanchard) to effesit the libe-
ration of Julian, and interviews of a similar tendency with the
King on the part of Alice, the plot hastens tom close ; Brid9enortk
is exposed, the Peverile liberated, and Alice and Jodista, " two
turtles," are left to bill and coo (infinitely to the admiration of
the young ladies in the dress-boxes), through-great part of the last
'wens. From this cursory analysis, it will:ha seen that the plot
is any thing but impressive: indeed the only scene. which can
properly be so called is one wherein Mr* Bridgenorth, well
supported by Wattle, is concerned. There are, however, a variety
of minor incidents which make up in quantity what they want in
quality ; so that altogether the opera has just .sullieient material to
ensure it a moderate success. The perform err did their beat through-
out, particularly Mr. Ward; one of the most promising actors of his
day, Blanchard, whOse strange coarse voice, always reminds us
of a fiddle with a cough on its lungs, made a 'very excellent Whit-
taker; but, indeed, whatever may he the character assigned to
this very valuable actor, he never fails to surpass expectation.
Mm. Gibbs was a bustling but elderly Deberah .Debhitch ; and
we were delighted to find ourselves relieved in Topham, (Moe-
dows) from the intolerable infliction of Mr. Cooper's presence;
a gentleman, who, whatever be the nature of his performance,
invariably speaks in the key of a Tower Gun ; - adding by way of
an agreeable addition, a stiff angular outstretching of ono favour-
ite arm like it sign post. He has now gone to lend this uric arm
to Drury Lane; anti we hope it may be a successful one ; bet
why not lend both ? The music by Horn ie. good ; with the
usual admixture of tinsel introduced, in order, we presume, to
tickle the Divinities in the clouds.-..that is to say, the Galleries
One glee sung about the middle of the second act is as beautil
as it is sociable. The words are as follow :-..--

And You'll win her, my boy.

lly way of finale, the hackneyed air "Cherry Ripe," composed
,y Mr. Horn about a year since, but supposed to be sung some
wo centuries back, is introduced for no earthly reason that we

Alsile he wae about it, Afr. Horn might just as well have set the
mblisher's name to miutie, together with the street where he re-
sided. and the 'price of the air, by way of chorus,--and then the
puff would have been perfect. The house at half-price was crowd-
ed to an overflow, a proof that the Opera at every repetition gains
upon the favour of the audience.
