fortresses ; ‘tit the stay of the Empire is a numerous
and pliant army, led by experienced Chiefs, and
sustained by a population, preferring death to sub.
jection, After all his success, the enemy has not
dared to advance ; our Vizier with the main army
continues at Schumla ; the coasts of the Blck Sea
ire secured fiom invasion or insult, and our rebellious'
subjects, the Servians, driven back with.shanie aid loss.
Nevertheless, as the events of war are uncertain, and
as the blessed Prophet has himself recommended that
policy should be used where force may fail, le
thought it right to listen to the overtures for negoti-
ating a peace. We dispatched officers to snake known
our conditions. We did not think that this our lau-
dable anxiety to procure so great it blessing would be
misinterpreted.
• ee But wicked and ungrateful men, forgetting the
submission they timed to us as the lineal descendant
of the Prophet, artfully prepared a tale for the ear of
the credulous, that we had renounced the glories of
our illustrious line, and destined the subjection of the
Crescent. Immediately these Janissaries, those sworn
foes to discipline and order, were seen hastening from
every quarter with arms in their hands. They in-
structed their partizans to declare that Reform and
the removal of obnoxions men were their objects ;
fnd when by these artifices, they hap swelled their
orces to 40,000 men, they avowed their real inten-
tions, called ourfor " War," and to be restored to
their former privileges. His Sublime Highness wit-
• lamed these proceedings with affliction, but not with
dismay. He could have relied on the affection oflis
weple, but 'was desirous of sparing the effusion of
l
tilisod. He retired on the night of the 24th on boardl
the Ottoman fleets having previously dispatched trusty
messengers to the different Packaliks, with intelli-1
gence of the revolt. All attempts to bring these tle-i
Tuded men to reason, probed ineffectual. They vio-
lated the Seraglio, plundered the treasures, and forced
.ini_eien she Implies of the citizens for valuable*. Iri the
wantonness of their anger, they fired one of the quar.
ters of the city, by which many houses were destroyed.
At length, on the 7th, the troops who were to quell
this rebellious spirit began to arrive. The Janissaries
marched out to meet the advanced body; but though
they were double in number, the imposing attitude of
those braye'men made them fall back. On the fol-
lowieg,day, dreading to be attacked in their quarters,
they drew up in order of battle : they advanced to
the charge with fury, like men animated by despair.
After a few hours contest? their ranks were broken,
and they fled :.being pursued from street to street,
scarcely any escaped. It is computed that 18,000 of
these traitors Rave been slain. (Signed)

if ljEc. $.-.•,nis Sublime Highness, to quiet the
minds of his faithful subjects, has commanded it to
be made known, that the Negociations with the Em-
reror of all the Russias are in the most favourable
train : and that every disposition has been shown to
coecede the points in dispute. The pay of the army
will be regularly transmitted in future. The Grand
Vizier has been reinforced. The Paella of Serai con-

PETERSBURGH, DECEMBER. 10.
It is reported here, that an arrangement has been
entered into between our Sovereign and the Emperor
Napoleon, by which a number of seamen are to be
placed at the disposal of the latter.
The negociations with Turkey are tarrying on ;
not the slightest doubt is entertained of a pesMareent
peace being concluded with that power.
Marshal Kamenskoy is expected from the army ; a
triumphal arch ie erecting to testify the sense we en-
ter vain of his services. J
WARSAW, DECEMBER 10.

command of. his Majesty the Emperor and King,
