place_n of_o war_n that_o little_a precaution_n which_o the_o turk_n make_v use_v of_o to_o cover_v they_o may_v seem_v somewhat_o strange_a they_o have_v no_o body_n of_o guard_n in_o the_o street_n nor_o any_o sentinel_n by_o day_n upon_o the_o rampart_n near_o their_o artillery_n nor_o any_o great_a number_n at_o the_o gate_n indeed_o they_o have_v nothing_o to_o fear_v within_o because_o the_o

this_o i_o observe_v at_o newhausel_n where_o the_o hungarian_n that_o be_v turn_v mahometan_n be_v the_o most_o zealous_a defender_n of_o the_o place_n there_o be_v in_o the_o town_n but_o few_o

and_o language_n of_o the_o country_n with_o the_o religion_n and_o notion_n of_o the_o true_a original_a turk_n it_o be_v they_o who_o go_v out_o in_o party_n and_o scour_v the_o country_n round_o about_o it_o be_v they_o who_o guard_v the_o prison_n where_o the_o slave_n be_v keep_v and_o the_o hungarian_a infantry_n compose_v likewise_o the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o garrison_n the_o method_n of_o fix_v the_o guard_n consist_v in_o those_o nightly_o round_n which_o a_o body_n of_o foot_n make_v go_v upon_o the_o rampart_n with_o large_a lantern_n and_o stop_v at_o every_o

the_o review_n or_o in_o their_o exercise_n and_o i_o learn_v from_o several_a german_a officer_n that_o during_o the_o siege_n of_o buda_n and_o other_o place_n the_o night_n round_o make_v the_o same_o cry_v and_o have_v the_o same_o guard_n a_o great_a many_o people_n believe_v that_o the_o office_n of_o visier_n be_v confine_v only_o to_o one_o single_a person_n and_o till_o then_o i_o be_v of_o the_o same_o opinion_n but_o at_o newhausel_n i_o be_v inform_v that_o beside_o the_o prime-visy_a call_v likewise_o grand_a visier_n or_o visier_n asem_n there_o be_v six_o other_o which_o compose_v the_o divan_n or_o council_n of_o the_o empire_n but_o of_o each_o of_o these_o we_o have_v already_o give_v a_o particular_a account_n chap._n iii_o next_o to_o the_o vizier_n be_v the_o other_o governor_n of_o the_o province_n call_v becglerbey_n who_o be_v only_o two_o though_o frequent_o he_o who_o be_v no_o visier_n have_v a_o large_a extent_n of_o government_n for_o instance_n the_o bassa_n of_o temeswaer_n in_o hungary_n have_v a_o considerable_a province_n or_o becglerbeyat_n compose_v of_o one_o half_a of_o the_o territory_n conquer_v by_o the_o turk_n in_o that_o kingdom_n and_o yet_o he_o be_v no_o visier_n next_o to_o these_o come_v all_o the_o bassa_n which_o either_o serve_v in_o the_o army_n or_o in_o place_n of_o importance_n who_o have_v only_o one_o horse-tail_n to_o which_o the_o sultan_n for_o some_o signal_n service_n add_v a_o second_o and_o a_o three_o for_o which_o they_o pay_v 20000_o crown_n in_o 40_o purse_n as_o have_v be_v already_o mention_v here_o i_o must_v inform_v the_o public_a that_o the_o name_n of_o bassa_n be_v a_o title_n of_o honour_n belong_v to_o the_o person_n not_o to_o the_o office_n they_o be_v in_o so_o that_o the_o ottoman_a empire_n have_v a_o great_a many_o bassa_n without_o any_o office_n or_o command_n and_o those_o who_o have_v any_o such_o never_o take_v upon_o they_o the_o name_n of_o the_o place_n where_o they_o be_v governor_n but_o only_o their_o own_o personal_a title_n thus_o for_o instance_n the_o bassa_n of_o newhausel_n be_v call_v assan_n pacha_n and_o not_o ouywar_n pacha_n ouywar_n be_v the_o turkish_a word_n to_o signify_v newhausel_n and_o so_o of_o the_o rest_n beside_o this_o title_n in_o common_a conversation_n be_v by_o way_n of_o compliment_n give_v to_o private_a person_n and_o at_o the_o end_n of_o my_o slavery_n when_o the_o exchange_n be_v conclude_v upon_o they_o honour_v i_o with_o the_o same_o title_n call_v i_o fransous_n pacha_n as_o much_o as_o to_o say_v a_o illustrious_a frenchman_n of_o these_o bassa_n some_o be_v make_v governor_n of_o province_n and_o city_n other_o serasquier_n or_o general_n and_o other_o the_o general_a officer_n in_o the_o army_n which_o be_v subordinate_a to_o the_o former_a who_o all_o of_o they_o retain_v the_o title_n of_o bassa_n without_o take_v upon_o they_o any_o new_a one_o by_o their_o office_n thus_o for_o example_n the_o vizier_n do_v not_o style_v themselves_o the_o visier_n of_o buda_n of_o silistria_n of_o bosnia_n etc._n etc._n but_o rather_o boudin-pacha_a silistri-pacha_a bosnié-pacha_a the_o becglerbey_n and_o general_a officer_n of_o the_o army_n do_v the_o same_o the_o same_o may_v be_v say_v of_o the_o title_n of_o sultan_n which_o be_v not_o appropriate_v to_o the_o grand-signior_n only_o as_o most_o people_n imagine_v and_o only_o signify_v protector_n benefactor_n patron_n master_n for_o all_o the_o turk_n in_o general_a when_o they_o discourse_v together_o give_v one_o another_o this_o title_n as_o we_o do_v that_o of_o sir_n or_o master_n but_o forasmuch_o as_o the_o grand_a signior_n the_o great_a cham_n of_o tartary_n and_o their_o son_n or_o brother_n be_v reckon_v patron_n and_o protector_n in_o a_o high_a sense_n than_o ordinary_a therefore_o they_o be_v by_o way_n of_o eminence_n style_v sultan_n thus_o they_o say_v mehemet_n sultan_n which_o be_v the_o grand_a signior_n suleyman_n sultan_n which_o be_v his_o brother_n gherei_fw-la sultan_n which_o be_v the_o cham_n of_o tartary_n galga_n sultan_n nuradin_n sultan_n which_o be_v his_o son_n or_o brother_n the_o proper_a title_n therefore_o which_o the_o turk_n have_v give_v to_o their_o emperor_n be_v that_o of_o padicha_n signify_v the_o lord_n and_o master_n of_o all_o the_o rest_n and_o as_o a_o token_n of_o respect_n and_o that_o particular_a esteem_n which_o they_o have_v for_o the_o king_n of_o france_n they_o have_v confer_v upon_o he_o only_o that_o great_a
