against tht reiblters ; *hob ending themselves pursued

and attacked with cinnon, retteatid towards one of the
barracks, into which many of them retired ; whence it
being difficult to dislodge them, Aga. Pacha having
caused it to be surrounded, set fire to it, and as the
victims attempted to escape, they were met by a fire
from without nearly as fatal as the one they were seek-
ing to avoid. The tonfttgration continued sixteen or
eighteen hours ; and nothing having been done to ex-
tinguish it, the destruction has been very great.
The 16th passed over without a renewal of the con-
flict, as the insurgents seemed reduced to mere straggling
parties, whose aim was rather to avoid detection.—
However, great numbers were brought in, and the bow-.

string was in active motion the whole day.
" Orders have been sent to the Governors in every
direction (as many are supposed to have escaped) to
follow the same course with every one who may arrive
there without a regular tezkare. It has'not been possi-
ble to ascertain, with any degree of accuracy, the num-
ber of persons destroyed, it being variously steed from
8,000 to 12,000.

"Thus far the rebellion seems to have been got over,
and a system crushed (that of the Janissaries), which
had on all former occasions overawed the throne itself;
indeed it is thought the Sultan may choose this oppor-
tunity of dissolving the whole body, dangerous as the
attempt may appear. Among his party, the only ♦io-
lence I have heard of, beyond what has already been
stated, is the son of the Janissary Aga, a boy of twelve
years. of age, having been cut to pieces ; and the house
of Isledschib Effendi having been plundered. Thus far it
does not appear that any of the leading Talks of Any
description are implicated in this matiny, which has
ended as badly as it appears to have been planned.—
There is one circumstance worthy of remark, which is,
that though many of the armed Janissities passed,
through the Frank and Royal quarters on their way to

join one or other of the contending parties, and people
were running about seeking places of supposed safety,
not one attempt at insult was offered to any one, not
even to a Greek, the warriors being exclusively taken
up with the subject so immediately occupying their
thought•.

"A most excellent police hasbeen kept op everywhere:
and excepting at the first intimation of tbe alarm, there
has been as much apparent tranquillity a the Christian
quarters (even in Cositantinopl4. sts.if nothing had

happened. . •
Nearly all the coffee houses were kept by Janissaries,
which bore the sign of their -respective corpa Orders
have been given that these emblems shall be destroyed
people are employed to see them carried into. effect,
and they say the name of Janissary is to be obliterated.
The massacre is directed almost delusively against
those holding a command ; of course excepting th-•se
who have declared for the sultan, and who must here.
after follow the new system. The Aga Raba has had
the additional title of Choulik," and the Janissary
Aga has been made Pacha of three tails. A Pacha
with troops bas arrived outside, and others are expected
to pour in.

"The butchering system is still going on to-day : more
artillery is carrying over to the other side, and I sup-
pose we shall hear of another barred' in the hands
of the discontented having shared the fate of yesterday ;
a small one has already undergone that ceremony—the
number which it supposed to have escaped from the
city. is represented from 6 to 10,000 men, so that the
surrounding •illages to the westward may be exposed
to much trouble."

se JUNE 2o;

The rebels seemed for the present to have been
completely broken, and the Government to have fully
established its power and influence. Arrestations, and
consequent punishinent, are every moment taking place,
and it has been so for the last three dip ; nor is this
confined to persons only comprised in the present
troubles—those of bad reputation, or "known to have
been guilty of bad actions years back, come under the
present proscription, so that one might expect they:,
mean to make the place }meatier a pattern of honesty'
and good conduct.
•That the Government ought to know; but how far
such a system of severity is admissible, no one cm
question. Yet it may be doubtful how far it can safely'
be extended. As I hinted in my last, the Sultan has'
dissolved for ever the corps of Janissaries, and they are
driving them out of many of the employments. It is.
decreed that no Janissary shall in future act as a
hammal, which place will in future be occupied by Ar-
menians; all that are unsuspected must immediately
quit the capital, or return to their native country ; even
those who have families here, and such as remain, will
be treated as rebels—the sante rigour extends in a great 11
measure to boatmen, &c. so that the quantity of misery
and distress among this class of individuals most be
great in the extreme.

On }he other hand, the Government is actively or-
ganising troops on the new system, the volunteers for
which are increasing rapidly ; the dress and evolutions
are now formed on the European fashion, or nearly so,
and everything seems to promise a complete renovation.
What think you of Pera being lighted at night by
order of the Government? One begins to fancy
oneself in a civilized country, free from the haughty,
insolent regard of the lawless rascals lg./wistarias who,
by the way, are sadly crestfallen l Even these at the
Palaces are trembling in their shoes, and they are to be
replaced by the new troops. Had they succeeded, there
is reason to fear things would have gone badly for us,
as Galata was to have been one of their first attacks

for plunder. Thank CUD thinks seem now in a st.te'
of perfect wtfety, and.we fervently hope they may am-
tinue so. There is;.hisweverlThtill slmethinX to APPIe-

commotions hive broke out at Adrianople, from whence
we have no further account than the 12th. The whole
of the Tut kish Ministry are encamped in the outer yard
of the Seraglio, and its gardens are crowded with troops.
—lt would seem that the trillium of pirates, tiot content
with the injury out trade sdstains by their depredations,
find the means to sell, or send the stolen property to
Smyrna, where it is disposed of at such reduced rates,
compared with the fair price, as to do incalculable in.

41 The exiling and decapitating system had net
relaxed up to last night, and it is expected to go on
without intermission, unless circumstances should occur
to arrest it. To-day it is said that several thousands of
Janissaries have arrived outside the walls, fruit] Adria-
nople; and I know there is much more anxiety among
the people on the other side, but I fancy there is little
to apprehend as to the final success of the Govern-
ment, though occasional cause for alum may now and
then arise.

1. The Government are gaming on ♦ery actively with
the new military system, and it is said the Grand
Signor himself sets the example, by drilling with a
inmsArt in his hand I. and he is pleased' with the success
of the system. The numbers increase rapidly."

a JUNE 26.

" In reference to the rebellion, little has occurred
to change the face of things ; the strangling and
exiling system continues with unabated rigour, and as
many Chiefs of Janissaries as can be found receive the
more honourable death of decapitation. Those who
passed the Seraglio point whilst a slight wind blew
from the southward, give a most lamentable account of
the bodies floating about; and to give you some idea
of the horrors and of the severity of the Governmtnt. I
may state that the Bostangi Bashi has been put to
death for conniving at the escape of some persons, and
JAffir Bey. one of the Judges, after three days' eXATtIi
nation of criminals, has become deranged.
',The; uards have been withdrawn from all the places.
and none have been substituted yet, though interest was
made for them to remain, particularly those who had
been long in the service, in consequence of which the
outer gates of our Palace are entirely shut up. Great
v'gilance is used in every direction, and the town, by
order, is lighted by lamps at every house, forming a
most extraordinary appearance for this capital. So
great is the tranquillity on our side, that we are actually
better protected than ever. Still, however, we cannot
help feeling great anxiety for the issue of events which
are preparing to bring about a radical change in sys-
tems as strongly ingrafted in the mind as their reli
gion itself." " JULY 1.

" The Turkish Government still continues its system
of exile and execution without relaxation ; and it seems
my intimation of the 26th past was much underrate.).
They reckon the former at 40,0(X), anJ the latter at 15
or 20,0,0. There is very little plague."

than five cietttories, has enjoyed ks freedom and independence. The
foundation of the Swiss Confederation was laid in the year 1305.
After various fortunes and reverses, it took its place among the
European Powers, and commenced its independence (with the help
and assistance of Goa) by glorious victories, manly deeds, and mo-
deration. A happy star long shone over our beloved country. The
Swiss enjoyed with cheerfulness the fruits of his labour and dili-
gence, never forgetting what Liberty had cost; that it ltia
not been acquired by gold or riches, but by the innate and inde.
lible course of justice, honour, and fraternal union. Yet we
confess it, our Alps did rot prove a sufficient barrier against the
effeminate manners which invaded thrones and nations, against
the egotism which unnerves all the powers of the soul. In

temptations of the revolution, the Swiss people proved that the
spirit of its ancestors had not forsaken it: the uvula razed, It
