Rebel plot crushed by Vizier force in Constantinople turmoil

From Constantinople a March 26 letter reports a night revolt of 2 000 to 3 000 rebels near Elmedan. Janissary loyalists and shopkeepers fought them, causing many casualties. Leaders seized, mass executions follow, including the Grand Seignior’s concubine and her daughter. Rumors claim imminent violent deaths for others. The unrest triggers heavy mobilizations toward Persia and widespread private massacres nightly. Milan and Turin note prisoner takeovers, while European diplomacy shifts with new treaties and Seville reports on flotilla outputs.
