NEW MILITARY REGULATIONS AT CON.
STANTINOPLE.

The ancient statutes and privileges of the Janissaries are main-
tained and confirmed. Those who are paid continue to enjoy their
pay as heretofore ;but after their death it falls to the public treasury,
and they will not be allowed, as they have been, to transfer it to
other persons. Of the 196 ortas of tht Janissaries 50 are selected
for the present, each of which shall furnish 150 men, for the forma-
tion of new ortas, which shall be trained to the use of arms in the
European fashion, aositbe employed in active service; by which a
nucleus of 7,500 men will be formed. all of the division of the
Boluks.—The new troops shall be called TaalimU Askers (exerciser
men), or Iskendsehi Nehru (disposable troops); and the name of
Nissan Djldid, so fatal to Selects 111. will be allowed the pay et the
prualisis, 90 aspen, or :10 paras daily; that of the salmiterna,
superior and staff Officers, Generals, rising in propertiOn.
Besides his pay, the soldier is to receive his clothing 'and arms;
the uniform to be a coat of red cloth, sitting tight to the body, blue
breeches, wide above and sitting close at the knee, and. Greek
cloth kaipak, lined with black sheep skin.
The exercise shall be performed in winter in the barracks of the
Janlsiaries ; in summer in the Ramadan, and other large squares,
on certain days and hours. Several Officers of the Egyptian army
are expected at Constantinople to exercise the troops.
The corps of artillery of BOUlliadiers, which have been organised
in a similar manner for many years, are to be increased; and the
corps of the Talllnsbadsches (ire men) incorporated with them:
The new organisatioa is to be gradually extended from the capi-
tal to the provinces, and trom the infantry to the cavalry, with the
same view. The Ulna and the Timariots, holders of military fish,
will be invited to enrol themselves in the new troops.
To meet the expense of this measure, besides the recourses hi-
then, belonging to the fond of the Janissaries, the produce of the
customs is assigned, and the present superintendent of the customs,
Hadschi Mehmid Saib Effendi, is appointed Jeottscheri
or Comptroller of the now troops,
Public opinion has generally declared in favour of this reform,
though it may be foreseen that it will meet with adversaries In
nation so attached to old customs as the Turks are.
