CONSTANTINOPLE, September 18.
The Grand Vizir, Mahemet Emin Pacha, Generalissimo of the Ottoman Armies, who was lately beheaded, and his Head exposed at the outside Gate of the Seraglio, had a Paper affixed, upon which were wrote the Motives of his Condemnation: The chief Crimes that were imputed to him were, that he had abused his Authority, in the Disposal of the Treasure and Troops; refused to march towards the Enemy; distressed the Ministers of State, the Grand Officers, and the Mussulmen Troops, by not sending them Provisions, and other Things necessary for their Support; and that he had, by Delays, and unpardonable Neglect, put off sending Succours to Choczim, when that Place was besieged; and when he was informed, by the Khan of the Tartars, of the Approach of the Enemy, which was the Cause of the Continuation of the Blockade, and of all the Sufferings the Ottomans laboured under during the Siege of that Fortress.
