order to innovate the form of government. And it is unqueltion-i W

ably true, that they had great encouragemenat given them, by the

power of T egbm B474, and the artsand addreliies‘ of the Sultanefs,’

HaflE£i,, Wife to Mazbomet the IV, t

For theexecution of their defign, they pitcht upon the Fefiival
of Bez'mm,which is the Eafter or Paflieover of the T ur/es. This Felti-
val holds for three days : on the firfl: whereof, the C rand Seigniour,

according to an ancient cuftom, vifits the Mofque ofS. Sophia, ac- t

companied by the Grand Vizier, and the Principal Oflicers of the
Divan and‘Semgl:'o. On the fecond, he goes with the fame pomp and
Ceremonyto the-Mofqueof ‘Topbam : and on the third, to that of
Toub. And it was on the -third day of this high Fefiival, that the

Confpirators, had refolved to Maliacre the Grand Vix-fier, to ‘Sei e  

on the Sultan, and clap him into that prifon, from whence he had
been taken,‘ and to let Sultan Muflapbd, Eldeft Son to Mabomefilie
4th. upon the Imperial Throne. t T

e The conduct of this deiign was laid with {'0 much i'ecrecy,.altho’
concerted and carried on by more than two hundred perfons, that
the Vizier had not the lealt knowledge of it, untill the firft day of
that Solemnity. He had prepared ( as the accuitomed manner was)
a great number of dilhes ofRice, to treat the janizaries, at their
return from the Mofque. But to this repafi: they refufed to come:

.. and even their O1°ricers had the confidence to reproach him, with his
withholding their pay, and ii] ufage of them, notwithfianding that ’

they had faved his Lifein acriticall iunéiure of time. The Vizier,
without emotion, or concernmyent of mind, acquainted them, that
hehad not fo bad a memory, as to forget the obligations ,_ he ftood
in unto them, T."r0mis"d them all due fatisfaétion, as foon as e er
the tribute of Egypt fhoeld arrive : and taking the Oflicers apart by

themfelves, exhorted them not to. precipitate the Empire into any

gulph ofirrecoverable mine, by exciting and fornenting freih trou-
blesand diforders. Infomnth that fame of them, whether gained by
his rpromifes, or intimidated by his menaces, difcover"d, the whole
feries and frame of the Confpiracy 5 and declared unto h;im,that the
Agar of the janiearics, and the K Mia Bay, were ~the..Ar,ch—Traytour's

At the fame time, he adv-ertized the Grand. Seignionr thereofland
cotmcill'd him not to itir out of the Scmglio. Upon which, retiring
to his own, and having received a full and plenary power fro-mthe

Sultan, topuniih the Confpirators, he fent for the jazzizary-Aga,w

After this, the grand Vizier, allhmbiing his Friends and princi~
P311 Qmcers together, who-fe fidelity could not be fufpeéted by him,

_ put on his Armour,and mountedhifs Horfe,a attended with about 8
T T hundred men,divided into, three Troops. He put him felf at thehead

,of‘ooe of them : and giving the command of the other two,to the
new janizary-Ag4,& to Gebea’gz'Bacb£,he march’: through the Streets
of Conflvmtifloplc, and invefted the houfes of the Confpirators -,whom~

they flew, before hardlythey knew, where they were. Thofe that
were in‘the prifons, were alfoflaughtered, and their bodies caltin:

to the high ways for ainexample and affrightment to others. The

Grand Vii ?er continued this round for eightdays together: and
there were more than five hundred perfons, ftrangled upon this ac-

~count. He lilgewife fent orders into the refpeétive Provinces for the

putting of feveral to death, that were concerned in the Confpira»
icy,-, and publilh°..d ta Proclamation, to prohibitsall asffeinblingein the

night upon pain of death.And this order was executed with fo much _

rigour, that all perfons whofoever that were found in company to-

, getherin the ltreets, one hour_after Sun-fer, were 'ali‘aflinated and
T Tdifpatched by Souldiers, difguifcd in poor and mean habits. s

This fevcrity.put a {top to, and appeas’d the Seditious for the

Iprefent: although thereis reafon to fear thatfome new enterprizes,

will fuddenly be played and ftarted E, feeing that the Grand Vizier
durft not put the leading cards in this, to death. For, as to Teglaen

T ‘B4jfa,his headfeems ftill to be fafe enough upon his fhoulders, who

commanded thrgflrmy, that was to Succour and 1‘eleivetBe-lg;-«dc:
“Seeing _the,Viziex;, T making, as though he believed him ‘to

better to give place to/the neceflity of times, than to call: himf, lfin-» A

A: few days after thlS,theE_gyptmn trrbnte,amourating to fix hundred

c thoufand Crowns, arr_iv’d: part whereof was employed in paying

the _‘fiz22i,mrz'e:,e the oflicers of the A7‘ illerdv, and of‘ the Semgfio. Vve
are alliired, that the Grand Seigniou r is departed for Adriomople:
and fome do fay-, that before his going away, he caufed r,he‘Guards
of thedepol'ed’Sultan to he redouhled, for fear any’ thing {hould he
attempted, during his abfence‘, whileft others will have him to have
earryed him along with him.‘ '\ ’ - 1
All thefe perturbations of the Tnrbjh Empire do» evince the necef-4
hty, whichathe Grand Seignior_is in,to, claplup a Peace, as _ pfoon as
he can, for the Eltahlirfhment and fecurity of his Government. ’Tisi
true, he hath been ad:Vertis’d of the Di-verfion, which France hath;

made on the Rhine -, and he knew it by word ofmouth from the Ame ,

haffador of that Crown; but what might feem good and Commo‘-E
dious three years ago, is not fo at prefent. For, his People areru‘-a
in°d and undone, his Exchequers and Finances Exhaufted, the better
part of his fiuhjeéis Mutinous, and his Crown {'0 Tottering, that it
hath been ready to fall from his Head,feverael'times, already, in that
little {pace he hath poffelfed it. Wherefore the Grand Vifier, very
well underftan-ding the neceflity of Peace in this Couju-néiure, hath
ient Orders to theAmbafFadors of his Highnefs, to advance it as
much as pollibly. '- t  i

It cannot be denyed‘, but that this Coniunéitire offereth very‘ fair V
thingsto the I22fidel.-, if they "had not reduced themfelves _ to an im'-__
potency of profiting therefrom by their own inteltine diivifions 

which will not permit them, to open their eyes and fix“ them upon
their true intereft. And the Ground of this is, becaufe the hatred,
"whichl we commoniy-bear to prefent ;objjects,i having” much, greater
force upon us, then that which wehear to others at more diltance‘,
we render our felves incapable of all fort of reafonin-g, as foon as
we are minded to wreak our Revenge upon fome Perfon, or have
the profpeflt of making our Fortune: i i

hopes they entertain’d of continuing ‘the Arbitrators of the Afliarrs

a defign. Notwithftanding, when they found thernfelves choult and

out feveral little bubbles, and Elevating it {elf by degrees a good foot

ved by a VVatch,'that the Period ofthe Ebbirvg and Flowing continues
‘ altogether but a thought more, than a’ halfequarter of an hour, and j
thatthe reft between them both is only about two minutes. /

V e in the bafon °, which always continueth alternatively; and in the lame
Propolitions, without Augmentation orldiminution. Towards the end i
of the Reflux, and when there hardly is any more water to re-enter,
we hear a little rumbling noife, which the Italian: would call, Gon-

For,there always ftays water enough behind, to feed the rirvolet,

— which it prodn.ceth 5 and in thefirft bafon the Ebbing and Flowing
