“FATIMA,” TUB TURKISH JOAN OF AnO. 
A lino drawn from Sinope to Smyrna will mark the 
boundary of tlio regions which, totally subjected to the au- 
thority of the Pashas, furnish their contingent of Bashl- 
Bozouks according to a regular militia law of great antiquity. 
To tho south-east of this line tlio peninsula contributes no 
certain supply of men ; and it is only on occasions liko tho 
present war that the name of the Prophet or tlio love of 
plunder induces them to quit their plaius and mountains, 
and venture into contact with civilised man. Ono of these 
tribes, said to bo capable of furnishing 4,000 horsemen, is 
under tho guidance of a woman, whose name, or rank, is 
expressed by the word “ Fatima.” Their homo is in tho 
mountains of Cilicia, and whether or not they arc of kin to 
the ancient pirates, they certainly hear a strong moral re- 
semblance. Some 300 of them set out from tlielr stronghold 
six weeks ago, and their appearance at Scutari, opposito 
Constantinople, gave rise to much excitement. The Qucoo, 
or prophetess— for she is endowed with supernatural attributes 
-is a little dark old woman of about 00. with nothing of tile 
Amazon in her appearance, although she wears what seems 
to be intended for male attire, and bestrides her steed liko 
the warriors of her train. Site is attended by two hundmuids 
liko herself in masculine costume, and was brought across 
the Bosphorus with a select band of followers to a species 
of barrack In Stamboul. Tlio Dushi -Bozouks aro beings .of

forefathers. One account declares that conjugal affection,
