On September 28th, 1730, a rebellion burst forth in Stambul against
Sultan Achmed III., whose cowardly hesitation to take the field
against the advancing hosts of the victorious Persians had revolted
both the army and the people. The rebellion began in the camp of
the Janissaries, and the ringleader was one Halil Patrona, a poor
Albanian sailor-man, who after plying for a time the trade of a
petty huckster had been compelled, by crime or accident, to seek a
refuge among the mercenary soldiery of the Empire. The rebellion
was unexpectedly, amazingly successful. The Sultan, after vainly
sacrificing his chief councillors to the fury of the mob, was
himself dethroned by Halil, and Mahmud I. appointed Sultan in his
stead. For the next six weeks the ex-costermonger held the destiny
of the Ottoman Empire in his hands till, on November 25th, he and
his chief associates were treacherously assassinated in full Divan
by the secret command, and actually in the presence of, the very
monarch whom he had drawn from obscurity to set upon the throne.
