Extract OF private letter from Her
manstadt, in I'ransylvanih, dated Ju
Iy 1f:-"I have this instant received
intelligence from Bucharest, that the
Janissaries of Constantinoplc have gal
ned a signal victory over their barbar-
Gus master. After having set on fire
all the buildings destined for the new
soldiery, they besieged the Sultan in
his palace, demanding the abolition OF
the new order of things. In Bosnia,
AdrianopIe, Sophia and all the princi-
pal towns of the Turkish empire ,mobs
arc daily formed who utter the most
violent threats and swear TO avenge
their comrades. The Janissaries up
on the Banks of the Danube have fer
ced the Bulgarlans to take nrr;ls and
march with themupon Constsntinopie
which they wish to DESTROY. IL is said
that the Turkish Commissioners sent
to treat with those OF Russia, have re.
ceved orders to stop at Selistria, where
they wait for the Sultan's commands"
DISTRESS IN BARBARY--In A.
pril last the British authorities at Glib
raltar sent medical officer to examine
and report the nature Of the disease ra-
ging at that time in Morocco. He was
absent on this duty nearly a month. On
his return to Gibraltar, he wrote as fol-
lows to his friends in England.
ITO give you some idea of the calam-
tiles under which they are now suffering
il will be enough to tell you that within
the last five months there have died, in
the Emperor of Moroco's dominion, no
less than two hundred thousand souls,
from famine and disease. In Fee alone.
there have been thirty-eight thousand
deaths. Their crops have failed for the
last three years, from drought, all the
rivers and springs have dried up, cattle
died Of course from want of heritage,
and the miserable Arabs ffocked down
in thousands to the ports on the Barba
ry coast, in hopes oil obtaining susten-
ance, bringing with them disease and
starvation. 1t has been my lot TO see
almost every horrible sight in nature, but
all that have seen put together is moth
ing to what have witnessed within this
month. Famine is of all other calami-
ses that can aiflict people, the most
deplorable and shocking. The Anato-
mie Vvinate would be amongst these
unfortunate wretches passed by as no
curiosity, for saw thousands every day.
Such is their extreme misery that con-
stantly witnessed men, women and chill
dren, dying in the streets, and in the o.
pen fields the skeletons of men are to
be seen. You see persons emaciated,
lettering and worn out, at length lying
down and expiring. They are seen de-
vouring dead animals, as horses, dogs,
cats, SC. and even to pick up corn from
the excrement of animals. Children
are seen in the STOPPING position gather
Ing up single grains of corn; others tur-
ming over dung hin in search of the
stalks of vegetables and bones, which
last they break between two stones, for
the sake of the marrow contained there
in. Added to this, the towns on the
Coast are affected with dangerous fe-
