SECT. 3.

[Sect. 3] The great overthrow at Mohatz, with the loss of Butschin, Esseck, and Agria, caused a great deal of discontent amongst the Turks, both in the Army, and at the Port. Which was increas∣sed by an irreconciliable feud between the Grand Visier and Osman Basha, the latter getting the Ascendant of the former, in the Affections of the Souldiers, gets the Army to Mutinee against the Grand Visier, who

thereupon fled to Costantinople, after whom, Os••an sent four Deputies, who informed the Grand Seig∣ni••r of many Malversations of the Grand Visier, and p••••vails so far as to get Osman advanced to that Com∣mand: however, the Mutinous Army Marches on towards Constantinpole,* 1.1 and the Grand Seignior being ass••a••ed of their rage, and designing to ap••••••ase them sends them the head of Solyman the late Grand Visier together with many fair ••romises of full satisfaction, notwithstanding this, they advance: The Sultan Mahomet ••earing his being deposed, designes to cut off his brother Solyman, and his own Sons also supposing this the surest way ••o continue himself in the Goverament,* 1.2 when there was none left of the Royal Lyne to set on the Throne; but this his wicked and Bloody project being discovered by the Caimacan, the Musti, the Caydelesker, and several ot••ers of the Grand Ministers, they clap him up in prison, and set his brother Solyman on the Throne, which presently brought all maters into a tolerable Setlement.* 1.3
