an otnClii WcSSdSc was addressed TO the
Foreign Consuls. announcing to them the
nomination OF the new Bahia and Bey.
with an invitation to raise the flags of their
respective nations, IN sgn OF peace and
friendship. But the revulut,onari.s soon
received the answer Of the BarCle, by
which he appraised them, that Sitl,-NIus.
t,pha, and Semain -Bey declared that
they would not separate themselves from
the party of the Bacha, and of Sidi- Assem-,
Bey; that they we e ready to die in Their
defence, and that III their quality Of near
est relatives OF the Sovereign. they
would take TO part in the revolt against
him."
At this moment, the plans of the rebels
were disconcer.ed, and it was clearly seen,
that taelr object was to replace the exis'
ting government, by an elective Turkish
government. In reality. ore OF Their prin,-
cipal officers, De.i-Aly, had nominated
himself Bacha. The first act OF his pow
er had been to grant his accomplices the
pillage of the town for eight days, an aug
mentation Of pay, and the aboliuon OF sew
eral imposts. Happily for us, some of the
less violent were of opinion, that, before
all. it would be necessary to seize OH the
Goletta. an essential point of oommunica-
ton to secure retreat, in case of accident,
ball.
This opinion prevailed. and we were sa-
ved-ISev resolved also to send To Con-
stantinople, petition signed by the prin-
clpal personages of the town whom they
would have arrested. declaring to the
Grand Seigneur, that the people of this
Regency could 70 longer endure the bad
government of Mahamud and his son,
and praying him to confirm the new Turk
ish Bacia, whom they had put in his
place.
This petition being signed, one of the
officers offered to undertake, with 400 If
the most determined Turks, the expe-
dition against the Goletta, and proceeded
on I at night fall.
Hardly had they departed from the town
when tho who had remained with the ia
trusive Deli-Aiy, instead of obeying his san
culinary orders, threw themselves on him,
d'sarmed, and cast HIM into a dungeon, as
the principal author of the revolt, and sup
plicatei the Bey to grant general amnss-
ty to the other Turks, who. they said, had
been seduced, and led away from their
duty Tranquility WAS thus established al
most without exertion.
In tn mean tine, those who had mar
ched against the Goletta. aoprised of this
last event, lost 40 courage. They continued
their march, and about one O'Clock in the
morning, they carried the fort, which
submitted after weak resistance. Had
they desired to m intain themselves there,
they might easily have res sted all the eff
forts OF their enemies, and p eserved the
key OF lunis, but it seems their sole de-
sign was to proceed to the Levant. They
seized on 5 corsai,s of the town, ready for
sea, that they might be enabled to perform
their voyage.
On the morning of 81, they commenced
plunderng the houses of the Kaya, of the
Christians. and of the Jews established at
the Gcletta, throwing into the Canal what
they could not carry off, and spikng the
cannon they were preparing to set fire TO
the arsenal and all the shipping, but the
sudden and miraculous appearance of the
English frigate Euprates. which cast an
Choir in the port, all at once interrupted
their project, and saved from the flames
the Spanish, English and French ships
which were 10 the harbor.
Apprehensive then of being severely
handled. the rebels FASTENED their dcpar-
ture, and about eleven O'Clock in the NOR
ming. they embarked to the number of a
bout seven hundred, ON board the FIVE COR
sairs, setting sail with favorable North
West wind, in the direction of CONSTANT
nope.
At that moment arrived by land the ST.
di-Assep, the bey. with a large body of
cavalry. He found nothing but the smoak :
ing traces of plumber and coniiagration IN
thus confusion, and in spite of the failure of
their enterprise, the authors of the revoiu-
ton have still had the good fortune tc
save and carry of the best ccarsairs of the
Regency.
This morning, MAY 81 the intrusive
Deli-Aly and one OF his aecomplices were
strangled, /and search is still making to
discover the authors and ramihratons of
the conspiracy. LGaz. Of Madrid.
