ALI P4G'll.l, _ CONSTANTTNOPLF, APRIL 10, 182.0.—An affair !iasjust occurred here which has caused a great deal of noise. Two Albanians, on horseback, rode very briskly up to the door of the Ci raml Seignior's Cham berlain, Pashow Bey, and en the Chamberlain's looking out at his window 'to know what they wanted, they both tired their pistols at him. The balls whizzal pest the Bey's head fortunately with out touching him. The assassins instantly scampered off by the road to Adrianople. A well-mounted party was in a few minutes in pursuit of them, and at a village about Gu miles off they came up with one of the fugitives, whom they seized and brought back to Constantinople ; the other effected his escape. The Albanian in custody refused at first to say a word in explanation of the extraordinary and daring adventure in which he had been engaged, but, on being put to the rack, he confessed, what was ge nerally believed to the case, that he and his coat. paition had been hired by the famous Ali Pucha to murder Pashow Bey. The fact is, that this is only one of many ma chinations on the part of Ali Pacha to take away the of the Chamberlain, against whom he ap rears to have conceived an unextinguishable hatred. The history of Pashow Bey. for years past, has been nothing but a narrative of hairbreadth escapes from the vengeance of his persecutor. At one time, by reeaus of bribery and intrigue, Ali Pacha contrived to procure a sentence of death from the Porte against him, to escape which Pashow Bey fled into Lgypt. from the Viceroy of which he received pro tect ion. While residing at Alexandria some Albanian mariners called on him, and solicited his advice, as a countryman, as to the disposal of some goods which they said they had just brought into the harbour, and which they wished him to go on board their small bark to inspect. Pashow had learnt by this time the danger of being too confiding; he sent person to make a private survey of the Albanian vessel, who reported that, instead of being laden with goods, she was all in sailing trim, ready to start at a moment's notice. Pashow, of course, de clined the fri.aelly invitation of his countrymen, who, finding themselves baulked in their tun obvious design, loft the port with all possible expedition. Tae circumstance coming to the ear of the Viceroy so strengthened the interest which lie had taken in Pashow Bey, that he applied in his behalf to the Grand Seignior, from whom he obtained a revoca tion of the sentence of death, and permission to Pashow to return to Constantinople, where he has since resided. The Sultan was so incensed at this last audacious attempt of Ali Riche's, that he bad determined to visit him with his utmost displeasure, but he has since adopted a more cautious but perhaps as severe a policy. He has appointed new governors to a number of military posts, particularly of the prin cipal passes into Allsa ia, which have been hitherto allowed to be held by persons of Ali's appointment. This is supposed to be a great step towards the ill 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 nixed. It api.cars that Ali Paella, had been called to Constanticuple, by the Grand Vizier, to -..ccount for his conduct; but that he bud refused to obey the summons, and bad raised the standard of revolt against the Porte. It was added, that both Greeks and Turks bud taken the oath of allegiance to him, anti that he was at Prevesa, organizing his army. It was reported at Corfu :but Ali had declared hint self King of Epirus, and that to attach to his in terests the Greek population, which is by far the nicst numerous in his states, he had caused himself to be babptized.

The son of Gustavus, the ex-King of Sweden, arrived at Bennet's Hotel, Inverness, on Sunday se'nnight, under the title of Count ltterberg.— He was accompanied by Baron Pother. On Mon day this Prince paid a mineralogical visit to Crag Phadric. He afterwards examined the Caledonian Canal, and the garrison of Fort George. The magistrates privately paid their respects to the dis tinguished stranger; and Mr. Mackenzie, banker, acted us his Cicerone in the capital of the High lends. On Tuesday morning the Count and his party set. for Invergarrp intending to take the Fuji of Foyers on then• 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 June, is put off thr a fortnight. It is calculated there will be nearly 700 persons in the procession; the canopies over the stalls are to be removed, and a &ripple row of seats made below the present Knights' seats; yet, atter all, it is doubtful 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 lid room, they will file of at the entrance of the Chapel, end be arrang ed in galleries to be erected in the side aisles.— The 13th or 15th of June are the dtiys at present talked of. The Ball usually given by the Knights on their Installation, and which was postponed till the end of the war, is, we understand, to take place on a mute 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 Francis Burdett, Bart. on 'I uesday next, being the Anniver sary of the Ti umph of Westminster and l'urity of lilection. Ile has received a public notification from the Committee of Itlatiugement to that etlect. It is a positive fact, that un eminent tiadesman at the West end of the town has increased his insurance (i,oool. in corsequince of the approaching corona tion. Tle.t stimulus given to various descriptions of trade by this event has already been productive of great advantage to many distressed families. FRENCH PAPERS. PARIS, MAY 17.—The day before yesterday the King sent tor Mademoiselle, the daughter of the Duke de Berri. The august Princess was conducted to his Maje.ty by his Royal Highness Monsieur. The Journal des Debates of Wednesday is neatly filed with an account of a work recently pub:ished, by Chatauhriawl, entitled ‘• Memoirs and Authentic Documents touching the Lire and Deuli of the Duke of Berri." I hut Journal extracts u passage in which an account is given of the a'sassination and last nit:merits of his Royal Highness ; but it con tains nothing which was not previously ktiown.

TLe night patrol service of the metropolis is now confined to the Ilorse Grenadiers of the Rural Guard. On Sunday last, a. in. a grenadier of the 3d regi ment of the Royal Gourd was accosted near the market-hall by two individuals, who affected to know him, and invited him to a neighbouring tavern to take share of a bo:tle of wine. The soldier yielded to their request, but shortly after separating he linind himself attacked by violent retellings. — He entered a house in the Rue de l'Universite, the proprietor of which sent immediately fur a physician, (M. Pojot-l-aforet), who discovered that metallic Oxide had been administer,ll,-doubtless with a view to poison him. A private letter, dated Macon (chief town of the department of the Soane and Loire), the sth inst., inserted in the Journal des Debates, after detailing the welcome reception given by the Authorities and inhabitants to theDtic d'Angouleme,on his arrival in that town, adds :- 44 It was announced to the Prince that the Queen of England had arrived ut Nlacon, under the title of the Marchioness de Bult. Her earriap bore the device—Spe meliore whor." The ConstPutiond conspicuously puts tbrth the fdlowing, which it states, it has authority to publish : His Majesty the King of Spain lately sent for the Duke de Laval-Montmorency, the French Ambas sador, and addressed him as tidlows :—" I know that there are in France persons who doubt the sincerity of my adhesion to the Constitutional regime, and who announce every where that 1 yielded to force when I swore fidelity to the Con stitution. I recommend you, M. Ambassador, to contradict these talse reports. to give publicity to this free and spontaneous stet of my will, and to make it known to your Court and to your friends. The Madrid journals announce that the commis sion authorised to investigate the circumstances of the butchery at Cadiz have caused to be arrested Generals Campana and Valdes, and the Colonels of the regiments of Guides and Lealtud. It is stated that twelve individuals have been arrested in Madrid on a charge of conspiracy against the Government. Orders have been issued to bring them to trial without delay. The negociation for a loan of 40,000,000 of reals •has commenced at Madrid, at an interest of 10 per cent. In the sitting of the Deputies on Tuesday, the law on the customs was passed with only ono dis senting voice out of 156 voters. ;THE QUEEN. A Gentleman arrived on Wednesday with letters from the Queen, who left her Majesty on the lath at Geneva. He returned on Thursday evening, and is expected to reach Geneva on titiday on Tuesday next The accounts in the Paris papers of the Queen having arrived at Macon on the sth, must of course be untimnded. Her Majesty was confined five days with violent rheumatism, and was also detained, alter passing Mount Cenis, with a violent cold and spasms, and two days repairing her carriage. This will account fur the delay. She declares herself must anxious to reach Englund. and complains of great tinigue in travelling by land.— In th. discussion of u case.on Thursday morning in the Court 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. Her Maj. sty's Birth-day was on Wednes day observed at the iilfeteut Pilone Offices, and other places under the immediate controul of the Executive, in a manner due to Tier Majesty's exalted station. The morning was ushered in with the ringing of the hells at St. Margaret's Church, Westminster, and the Union Flaz was displayed from the steeple of St. Bride's Church. Fleet-street. A Royal -alote of guns was fired from the Surrey side ut the River near ‘Vestininster bridge, and several vessels hoisted their colours. Jr. th.a even ing the bells of 7.t.
