-;^ 164 ALI PACHA,. --ASP CONS I'ANTINCOPI.F, APRIL 10, IS2O.—An affair has just occurred here which has caused a great deal of noise. Two Albanians, on horseback, rode very briskly up to the door of the Grand Seignior's Cham borlin, Pashow Bey, and on the Chamberlain's looking out at his window 'to know what they wanted, they bath fired their pistols at him. The halls whizzed past the Bey's head fortunately with out toucttiti::: him. The assassins instantly scampered oil by the road to Adrianople. A well-mounted party was in a ti• iv minutes in pursuit of them, and at a village about bet miles off they came np with one of the fugitives, whom they seized and brought back to Constantinople ; the other edected his escape. The Albanian in custody refused at first to say a word in explanaiion of the extraordinary and daring adventure in which he had been engaged, but, on being put to the rack, be confessed, What was ge nerally believed to be the case, that he and his cum. panion had been hired by the famous Ali Paella to murder Pasbow Bey. The filet is, that this is only one of many ma chinations en the part of Ali Paella to take away the life of the Chamberlain, against whom he ap pears to have conceived an 'inextinguishable hatred. The history of Pashow Bey, for rears past, has been nothing. but a narrative of hairbreadth escapes from the vengeance of his persecutor. At one time, by means of bribery and intrigue, Ali Paella contrived to procure a sentence of death from the Porte against hint, to escape which Pashow Bey fled into Egypt, from the Viceroy of which he received pro tcetion. While residing at Alexandria, some Albanian mariners called on him, and solicited his advice, as it countryman, as to the disposal of sotne goods which they said they had just brought into the harbour, and which they wished him to go on board their bark to inspect. Pashow had learnt by t;:is time the danger of being too confiding;, he sent a person to make a private survey of the Albanian vessel, who reported that, instead of being laden scith goods, she was all in sailing trim, ready to start at a moment's notice. Pashow, of course, de clined the friendly invitation of his countrymen, who, finding themselves baulked in their too obvious design, left the port with all possible expedition. The circumstance aiming to the ear of the Viceroy so strengthened the interest which he had taken in Pashow Bey, that he applied in his behalf to the 1. ;rand Seignior, from whom he obtained a revoca tlon of the sentence of death, and permission to P.ahow to return to Constantinople, where he has s.lice resided. The Sultan was so incensed at this last audacious attempt of Ali Peleliu's, that he had determined to visit him with his utmost displeasure, but he has since adopttd a more cautious but perhaps as severe a policy. Ile has appointed new governors to a uulaber of military posts, particularly of the prin cipal passes into Albania, which have been hitherto allowed to be held by persons of Ali's appointment. This is supposed to be u great step towards the ul timate downfall of this formidable partisan. His agents have been also sent away from the capital, and all property of Ali's in their hands has been seized. It appears that Ali Patella, had been called to Constantinople, by the Grand Vizier, to account for his conduct ; but that he had refused to obey the summons, and had raised the standard of revolt against the Porte. It was added, that both Greeks and Turks bad taken the oath of allegiance to him, ants that he was at Prevesa, organizing his army. It w:.s reported at Corfu that Ali had declared him self King of Epirus, and that to attach to his in terests the Greek population, which is by far the most numerous in his states, he had caused himself to be babptized. THE DUKE DE BERRI. The following is an anonymous letter which the Due. de Berri received an hour before he went to the Opera, and to which he unfortunately paid no attention : •• Monseigneur,—Do not venture out without an escort. A poignanl is raised against you. Your eonti'lenee will prove fatal to you. Preserve your life for the sake of France, of which you arc the idol and the hope. Distrust particularly fair men!—A rtiftetful admirer of your Royal Highness's virtues, • A FRENCHMAN." M. 6—, who died a few days after the Prince, had a most singular dream. The noble Peer, whom, Lis Royal Highness honoured with his friendship, dreamt, on the 11th of January, that as he was standing with his Royal Highness at one of the windows of the Castle of the Tuileries, they oh served a magnificent procession advancing towards the Louvre. A hearse richly decorated, and drawn by eight horses, having appeared in sight, the Prince asked, "Whose funeral is that?" on which M. G— replied, " It is yours, Prince;" in a few moments another hearse, less rich than the first, appeared, and M. G. having in his turn asked who was to be THE NATIONAL REGISTER. , buried ? the Prince replied, "It is you, Count"— WII,u M. G— related this dream to his Royal Highness, the latter laughed. TEE ifiTir_Ac:— A Gentleman arrived on Wednexday with letters from the Queen, who left her Majesty on the 12th at Geneva. He returned on Thursday evening, and is expected to reach Geneva en :Monday on Tuesday next. The accounts in the Paris papers Ott the Queen having arrived at Nlacan on the sth, must of claim be unfounded. Her Majesty was confined five days with violent rhemnatistu, and was also detained, after passing Mount Cenis, with a violent cold and spasms, and two days repairing her carriage. This will account for the delay. She declares herself most anxious to reach England. and complains of great fatigue in travelling by land.— In the discussion of u case on Thursday morning in the Colin of Chancery, in which the Queen is a party, her Attorney General, Mr. Brougham, de clared that her Majesty will immediately return to England. This assurance, coming from so authen tic a source, puts an end to ..11 speculation upon the subject. ller Majesty's Birth-day was on Wednes day observed at the different Public Offices, and other places under the immediate controul of the Executive, in a manner due to her Majesty's exalted station. The morning was ushered in with the ringing of the bells at St. Margaret's Church, Westminster, and the Union Flag was displayed from the steeple of St. Bride's Church. Fleet-street. A Royal salute of guns was fired from the Surrey side of the River near NVestminster bridge, and several vessels hoisted their colours. In the even ing the bells of St. Bride's rang a merry peal, and several of the Queen's trades-people dined together. The Judges in the different Courts appeared in their Scarlet Robes, and many testimonials of respect were paid to her Majesty's Birth-day by persons in Office. LAW ILVALLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, SATURDAY, MAY 20. BRIGHT V. THE EARL, Of fIELFAST. The plaintiff, a livery stable keeper, at Brentford, brought his action to recover the balance of an account he had opened with the Noble Defendant, for the keep of horses. It was stated, that after repeated applications for payment of his demand, the plaintiff detained the Earl's horses, but coins atter allowed them to be taken from his stable*, on a promise being made to pay the bill. Some pay Mein* were then made, leaving a balance of 781. which the plaintiff on ht to recover. The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff fur W.— ; Costs 40s. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. Iwit.Lia %Is ANII OTHERS. AISIGNEES, V. DOBRCE. 111 S action was brought by the Assignees of Tupnall, a hank' init. to recover time gold seals, value 161. being a portion of the bankrupt's property, pledged with Mr. Do. bree, who is a pawnbroker. The plaiiitids undertook to make out, first, that the seals were pledged by the bankrupt within two months prior to the bankruptcy; and, secondly, that Mr. Dobiee knew at the time he received the pledge, that Tsipittill, who cat vied on business in Great Russell-street as a watchmaker and jeweller, was insolvent. In both those points there was a want of proof, and the Jury found a verdict for the defendant. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. RADICAL COFFEE.- THE KING V. G. LEWIS. This was a ease iu which the question as to the legality of making any pi rpm:ilium. of grain to resemble cutlet., was expected to be decided; and the derision was con sequently awaited wills the utmost anxiety by many ina nutacturs, against whom proceedings had been instituted, as well as by con issuers in general. The defendant was proceeded against fur a penalty of 1001., appeared to plead his own cause. Time pannel of the Jury was coiled oveJ, when six only appeased, and of those two were inaccurately desesibed. Mr. Lewis rose and objt (led to the pannel. lie de manded a new one, on the gs tl that the law allowed a defendant • paunel of 21 Justoms. in the prraent iu stance two were inuecurately dens ibed, amid ot,e was not to he found. On these grounds he contended that the panne' ought to be set aside. The Chisel Baron said, that this objection to the panned ought to have been made before the full court, and nut !More him, sitting as he was at Nisi Prins. The At tornoy-General said he would not press the trial now, but would consent to its being put off, in order to give the defendant an opportunity of obtaining a full pala tial. Time trial was accordingly postponed. If the Champion of England is to make his ap pearance at the ensuing Coronation, as on former occasions, he will ride into Westminster Hall, in ancient costume, on a grand charger, and throw down his glove us a challenge. The successor of Mr. Dymoke, the hereditary Champion of England, who lately died, is a Clergyman. The British Maseunt.—lt appears from a Par. liamentry Return, that the number of persons who visited this national Repository of Literature and Science, from the '46t11 of March, 1819, to the 25th of March, 1820, was 53,614. In the year pre , ceding, 1818—.. they amounted to 65,252. he packages, landed a few days ago at Dover, and said to belong to her Majesty the Queen of lEngland, were the property of his Royal Highness the late Duke of Kent, and not of her Majesty.

The son of Gustavus, the ex-King of Sweden, arrived at Bennet's Hotel, Inverness, on Sunday se'nuight, under the title of Count Itterberg.— He was accompanied by B.sron Pottier. On Mon day this Prince paid a mineralogical visit to Crag Pho.dric. He afterwards examined the Caledonian Canal, and the garrison of Fort George. The gistrates privately paid their respects to the dis. Languished stranger ; and Mr. Mackenzie, banker, acted as his Cicerone in the capital of the High. lands. On Tuesday morning the Count and his party set off fur Invergarrp, intending to take the Fall of Foyers on their way. The Count appeared much pleased with the natural beauties of the country and discovered much intelligence in obtaining information about the condition and character of the people. Owing to the additional preparations necessary for the increased number of persons connected with the Order of the Knights of the Bath, and the ap pearance of the King as Sovereign thereof; which we understand is usual at the first Installation in his reign, the Installation, intended for the Ist of Julie, is put off for a fortnight. It is calculated there will he nearly 100 persons in the procession; ' the canopies over the stalls are to be removed, and a tripple row of seats made below the present Knights' seats; yet, after all, it is douhtful whe ther the Esquires can be admitted into the body of Henry the Seventh's Chapel, on account of the number of the Knights Commanders and Compa nions. If there should not be room, they will file off at the entrance of the Chapel, and be arrang ed in galleries to be erected in the side aisles.— The 13th or 15th of June are the slays at present talked of. The Ball usually given by the Knights on their Installation, and winch was postponed till the end of the war, is, we understand, to take place on a mote magnificent scale than was ever witnessed in this country. A superb silver vase is to be presented by the Electors of the parish of St. James to Sir Framis Burden, Bart. on Tuesday next, being the Anniver sary of the Triumph of W estm i nster an d I'urity o f Election. He has received a public notification from the Committee of Management to that effect. It is a positive fact, that an eminent tradesman at the West end of the town has increased his insurance 6,001.)1. in consequence of the approaching corona tion. The stimulus g iv en t o var i ous d e scriptions of . trade by this event has already been prodLctive great advantage to many distressed ilunilies.
