broth was carried daily from the barracks
to the different guard-houses.,
The police of the capital and the large
towns was intrusted principally to the JAM
izaries. Lamppons and seditious papers
affixed to the gates of the mosques, and
CONGREGATIONS in various parts of the city,
were the means by which this formidable
body made its displeasure known to the
sultan but that discomfort was seldom
excited by any thing except the power Of
some unpopular minister, or the revival OF
a more rigid discipline. In various in.
stances sultans were deposed, insulted and
murdered by the insurgent janizaries.-
This corps offers the only example in
Turkish history of public anathema Or
bann. After the reinforcement of Osman
II, january of the 65th company dared
to raise his hand against his fallen mon
arch, and strike him in the streets of the
city. Amurath III punished the crime
by cutting off the whole company. The
memory of the crime and the punishment
was renewed twice every month. On
Wednesday, when the lights were distrib-
uted to the different barracks, the 65th
company WAS calleu 10 receive their pOr-
ton, but, at the second call, an officer re-
piled, "Let their voice be silent; let
them be wholly extinguished." The re-
forms which We're attempted in this corps
met with the greatest opposition on the
part of the members, and produced seve-
raj revolutions. 1t was finally entirely
broken up in 1926. In May, 1925, the
.ianizaries had declared themselves willing
to have new militia formed, but on the
14th Of June Of that year, they rebelled
on this account; but the sultan and aga
Hnssein Pacha, at the head of the grand
seignior's troops, repulsed the rebels their
barracks were burnt, and many were ex-
ecuted.. The proclamation of June 18th
abolished the corps forever, and laid
curse upon the name. The new troops
are disciplined in the manner of the Chris
tan nations.

JANIZARIES.

sIn the year $780," says Gibbon, "the
Turkish cimeter was welded by Amurath
|, the son of Orchan and the brother of
Soliman. lie subdued the whole province
of Romania or Thrace, from the Hellespont
to mount Hamus and the verge of the
capital. He marched against the Sclavo-
nian nations between the Danube and the
Adriatic-the Bulgarians, Servians, Bos-
mans and Albanians-and their war-like
tribes, who had 50 often insulted the ma
jesty of the empire, were repeatedly brok-
en- by his destructive inroads. The natives
of the soil have been distinguished in eve
ry age by their hardness of mind and~bo-
dy, and they were converted, by pru-
dent institution, into the firmest and most
faithful supporters Of Ottoman greatness.
The vizier of Amnrath reminded his sove-
reign, that, according to the Mohammedan
law, he was entitled to a fifth part of the
spoil and the capfiVes, and that the duty
might easily be levied if vigilant officers
were stationed at Gallipoi to watch the
passage, and to select for his use the stout
est and most beautiful Of the Christian
youth. The advice was followed /; the
ediet was proclaimed; many thousands of
the European captives were educated in
the Mohammedan religion and arms, and
the new militia was consecrated and named
by a celebrated deryish. Standing in the
front of their ranks, he stretched the sleeve
of his gown over the head of the foremost
soldier, and his blessing was delivered in
these words Let them be called JAM
zaries (yingi cAers, or new soldiers J may
their countenances be ever bright; their
hand victorious; their swords keen; may
their spear always hang over the heads OF
their enemies; and, wheresoever they go,
may they return with a white face.-
White and dzack face are common and
proverbial expressions OF praise and re-.
proach in the Turkish language.
Such was the origin OF these hanghty
troops, the terror of the nations, and some
times Of the suTtans themselves" They
were kept up by continual additions from
the sultan's share Of the captives, and by
recruits, raised every five years. from the
children of the Christian subjects. Small
parties of soldiers, each under. leader,
and each provided with a particular hr'
man, went from place to place: Where,
yer they came, the protoge'los assembled
the inhabitants, with their sons. The lead
err of the soldiers had the right to take

others sense in an obscure one; some can reason
