STATE OF CONSTANTINOPLE IN THE
BEGINNING OF I. SST MONTH.

(raost A LETTER. DATED CONSTANTINOPLE, SEPT. 4.)
For the last week Constantinople exhibits a reign
of terror; wii:tt the sword of the enemy, plague,
and famine spare, the executioner removes. Nightly
hundreds are strangb2d, and thrown into the Sea of
Marmora; and every day numbers of the better
class are beheaded in the streets, and left where they
fall, for a public example. At every turn one sees
an execution or beholds a headless corpse. This is
characteristic; the sufferer, unbound and unbandaged,
kneels to receive the fatal blow. The body is then
stretched on its back, the head placed under its right
arm, and on the breast the sentence is laid. The
causes of this well-tinted and necessary severity are
as follow :—On the rapid approach of the Russians
the Janisswies every where showed their un-
tameable spirit ;—they rose in various parts
of the kingdom, and in this city formed a
plot to fire it from and to end, assassinate the
guards of the Sultan, depose him, and elevate his
youngest son on the ruins. Their mutinous feelings
were too openly declared not to be observed. The
news of the capture of Adrianople, and the complete
evidence of the conspiracy, were known on the same
day. The Sultan immediately took his measures,
sent Plenipotentiaries (the Teftadar and an Ulema)
tc. the Russian camp, and unsheathed the sword of
justice. His officers, in disguise, frequent the
plisc.s of public resort, and wo to the wretch on
whom suspicion attaches I—his head rolls 7. Incon-
ceivable is the panic impressed on Constantinople,
and fearful the anticipation of the slaughter of the
Janiasarfes which must take place. They show that
no terms can be kept with them, and they must re-
ceive another were lesson. Thirty thousand heads
fell last 6me ;,—.ll-4t:i.er such weeding may quell
tiwir turbulence.

AN HoNoLTRABLE POOR MAlJ.—There is
now living at Coughton, Warwickshire, a poor labourer
of the name of James SmALLwooD ; he is about eighty
years of age, and has for some time received from B.!oley,
in Worcestenhire, his place of settlement for his support,
two shillings and sixpence a week. SMALLWOOD having
received a very small legacy lately fund cne of his sons,
(out of his savings in servitude), has paid lyLck to the
officers of Beoley parish-- hii weekly pay of 2s. 6d. per
week, for forty seven weeks, the sum which he bad in his
need received from them. In this singular and praise-
worthy transaction it is worthy of remark, that the legacy
left to SMALLWOOD, at the rate of 4.4. 6d. a week, will
support him about three years. It is seldom our gratify-
ing duty to record such instances of honourable feeling
