Dear Marleen, 

In Baha'u'llah's case He seems to have been more disturbed by the 
Revolutions of 1848. The French Revolution was looked upon with favor 
by many in the Middle East. When the rather conservative Janissaries 
launched a revolt in 1807 and deposed the Sultan they even toyed with 
the idea of establishing a republic. 

warmest, Susan
