For more than month we remarked
"a ferment among the soldiery. Alarm.
ing reports as to the person of the iNey,
Omar Pacha, were spread. Nevcrthe-
less, complete tranquility seemed to
succeed to those temporary disorders I;
but Omar Pacha, suspecling they wished
to form d plot against him, refused to
believe in the supposed tranquility. The
second of this month, in the morning,
600 Turkish soldiers marched towards
the Palace of the Regency. The Dey
was seated, surrounded by all his Mis-
listers, with the exception Of the Grand
Vekilardgl, who was at his post of The
Marine. The Dey Immediately caused
his guards to take arms, and semi word
to the Vekilardgi to assemble troops and
come to his relief That order arrived
too late to be put in execution. The
Guard of the Palace, composed Of &c
men, was too weak to resist the revolt
ers. They cleared, as If without ob,ta
Gle, the FIRST gates. 1t was in vain thai
the ministers, and great number of off
GERS, presented themselves to them, ask
them what were the subjects of thei,
complaint, and promised them satsilac
