OF the corps of Janissares and OF the events which
have led 10 that measure

The Aga oil the Jannissaries had been named
WIT Achar, hrst squire. but the cruelties exercised
ey the revolters on his family made so l;velv an
Impression upon him that he refused the rlare and
begged TO retire. The other promotions. have for
the most part, been given to the generals and Off
GERS belonging TO the staff Of the CORPS of Ja.;sa

'her measures to destroy the spirit of sedition and
10 secure the public tranquility. AS the numerous
