This memorandum was laid before the Salten, who was so much incensed by it that he at ordo rent ita antbor into banishment in the island of Rbedes, where bo died a year after. A various account is aleó gleen by tus Tarkish historiographer of the fall of Varna in October, 1828. This, which was oDe of the most important events of the war, hse" hitherto been attributted to the treachery of Youssouf. Pasha, the commandant of the fortreas, but Lufl thinks that there is not saf Gaient, ground for this mousation, According to the report of the Admiral-in-Chief, Izzet Mebemet, Puaha (who aftorwards became Grand Vizier), the Russian admiral, after five attemple to: take the fortress by Alarm, sent him a message, saying that the Czar did not desire bloodshed. that wines had been dug in fire places, and that he summoned the Turks to Barrender, Thaofficers and the principal itizens then assambled to consider what abould be done. Yousut Pasha, said to them i “Mei- anlmans, our reintoreements could not arrivo; tek qa think of our own safesy" Izzet upon this drew a pistol from his belt, and begged Youssouf to shoot him, as he could not bear to, ses the fortress in the hands of the RisoİNDS. A crowd of women, instigated by Toussouf now gathered round the Admiral, exclaiming
We will not be taken prisoners: Surrender the fortress." Izzet replied that it was his duty to defend the property of the Podishab. The Moliab and tho Nakibel Varnt were next coled upon by Youssoul to dazlara that any more of the faithful who'sbould be Elled in the defence of Varna would no longer be regarded as martyrs bat as suicides; this relaxed to discipline of the troops, and several quarrels took place between them and the people. The Admiral wisbed to set fire to the powder magazine. hat at length bỏ was induced to agree to the capi. talation of the fortress. From this report and other evidence of a similar kind, Lufi oon- cludes that Yoteson? was not guilty of treachery, but of oowardico; and a regular court-martial: on the cupitulation was naver bald. Daring the blockade of the Bosphorus and the Dardai neiles by the Rain feet the Porte, was al great pains to supply the capital with provi Bions. Corn, cattle, do, were brought from Anatolía; and, in order to ascertain the exact gauntity that would be requirat,; a careful ashaus was taken of the population of Constan tinople and its suburbe, which, according to Lutfi, showed a total of $59,039 souls. This is the only achess that has been taken in Ox- atantinople during the present century. A chl calation made in 1873 by Dr. Morstmann.from the lists of mortality of the previous sixteen years and other medical statistics showed a total po palation of about 600,000 during the years 1860 to 1870. This increase is chistle due to the Christian popolation, ni during the war Con stantinople was almost antiraly abandoned by its Christian residents, while the Turks in the capital are evidently decreasing in nombers, cony of their houses and mosques being HOW inhabited by Christiana; "According to Luft, the population of Constantinople and the shora of the Bosphorus is now more than a million, but this statement is merely based on conjes. ture, and is not of mud value, as the Forknaro notoriously deficient in the palenisting faenky,
