Our court has received Courier from
Constantinople with dispatches, announ-
cinc revolution to have taken place in
that capital-but nothing has yet been
published in the Gazette.-The follow
ing are the contents Of two private let
tiers
The emperor Selim is no niore--the
discontents occasioned among the peo-
by the scarcity of provisions, and among
the Janisaries by the European exercise
and disci pine, furnished the enemies of
the government with an occasion to ex-
cite an insurrection, which cost the I'M
happy Sultan his throne and life. On the
oath May, the Multi, at the head of the
indictments, repaired with three hun
bred Janissarics to the Seraglio, and
read to him 70 list Of his pretended
offences, recited passages from the Ko-
ran, 3hich declared him. or account of
-hosc offences, unworthy Of the throne,
and ordered him to sign a renunciati-
on Of it. Selim, seeing no means of
resistance, signed the deed of rcnun-
citation, and begged his life. The Mutt
promised to intercedc for him. His
person was then secured, and fourteen
OF his principal ministers were put to
death.-Couriers were sent to the camp
and the Dardanelles, TO arrest and
strangle the Grand Vizier and the Cap
tain Pacha. On the 25th May, a pro-
clamation, was published in Constants

the Sultan had been dethroned, and to
make known his offences, and the pas
sages of the Koran which condemned
those offences. The people were invit-
ed to remain tranquil, and mind their
affairs. On the Goth, Mustapha, the
son Of Achmet, was proclaimed Grand

ring the whole of this revolution, but
few disorders were committed. The
mass of the people took no part at all
so that we attribute this catastrophe to
some chiefs of parties yet unknown to
the Janissaries. All foreigners have
been ordered to be respected. We arc
assured that the Grand Vizier made no
resistance to the order sent him, and
was strangled. Of the captain Pacha
we know nothing.
The Grand Vizier had gained some
successes before he died. he passed the
Danube at Ismail, and forced general
Nicholson to retire from Wallachia, to
Foksany and Rimpick. The new adj
ministration is entirely composed of per-
sons devoted to the Janissaries we
know not the disposition it will show
towards foreign powers. Yet some
think the revolution will have no influ-
nee upon our foreign politicks, because
the insurgents strongly censure the ad-
herents of the Russian system.

Mr.. SAMSON had an interview ves-

he had sent to the American cnvoys. to

had, our government was ready to enter
into an amicable adjustment of all diff

The Turkishna0La ction.-The Tur-

and gave battle to the Russians off the
Isle OF Tenedos. Both fleets were OF G.

In seven hours, and was severely con-
tested; and although two Turkish ships
were blown out Of the line, yet the Cap
AIN Pacha, Sab Ally, proved victorious,
and the Russians were obliged 10 retreat

destroyed on either side but both fleets
acre roughly handled, and lost many

NATcHEz, Feb. II.

Anxious to reievs the public mind from the
agitation caused by the arreststion of num-
Der Of persons last evening, we have delayed
the publication OF the present number, in or
der to gain correct information.
The following statement is given as anthem
tic:
Early yesterday morning negro boy be-
longing to DIR. John Cummins, of Claiborne
county, appeared at the house of Mr.. Fair
banks near the mouth OF Coles Greek in
curing the road to Natchez. He rode a horse
recollected by Mr.. F. to belong to Col: Burr
The surtout coat which tho boy wore was also
recognized as one belonging. TO Mr.. Burr: the
suspicion of Mr.. F. was excited and he exa-
mined the negro strictly the boy produced
a passport from his master, and letter to MIR.
Archibald Douglass, In Concordia, Orleans
territory, on a local subject Mr. proceeded
to a particular examination Of the surtout
coat worn by the boy,-in the cape of which he
discovered after the closest examination,
small billet of which the following is correct
copy:
Is If.you are together keep together, and |
will Join you tomorrow night, in the mean
time put all your arms Ia perfect order.

all you may think that / wish to know-he

sons in this city who descended the river with
