Chourschid Pacha has male two appeals to the
Albanians capable of bearing arms, to march against
the rebel Mayas and the exe rabic Muscovites, the
first movers of the rebellion. The Albanians have
replied that they cannot abandon their own country.
Sir Thomas Maitland, who, notwithstanding his
declarations of neutrality, favours directly and openly
all the operations of the Turks, has found means to
send off the Greek squadron, under the pretext of
their conduct at Santa Maura, but which is denied
by the Greeks. It is more strange still, however,
that the flag of truce sent by the Greek Navaret to
enter into an explanation with the lonian Govern-
ment was detained by Sir T. Maitland in violation
of the rights of nations, and was sent back long
afterwards without an answer.

The Greek squadron, however, having disappear-
ed, Chourschid Pacha renewed his appeal to the
alliances, who now threw off the mask, and demasel•
ed payment of arrears, and payment in advance.
Vac Albanian chiefs, much to their honour, have
determined to resist the order for massacreeing the
Christians in that province sent by the Porte to
Chourschid Pacha, and the Bey of Paramythia has
declared, that if the bead of an innocent Christian
falls, he will join the Souliotes against the Turks.

The Albanians are, doubtless, not civilised, but
what a difference between their sentiments, and
those of the Chief of the Turkish nation, whom the
English ministry, in an official paper, calls an un-
fortunate Prince, and whom it wishes to conciliate
to the interest of Christian Nionarchs.

FRONTIERS 01 TURILEY, MAT B.—A amp
forming at Nisei', and a month since the Divan sent
troops thither from Bosnia, Albania, Macedonia, and
Scutari. The Turkish army will as emble there ;
in the event of war it will pass the Danube at Wid-
din, and stationing 'droops in the upper part of Wa.
lachia. The army of the Grand Vizier advances in
two divisions, one towards Rudsehuk by Sophia, and
the other towards Brailow by SAumia.
The command of the grand Turkish army to be
assembled on the Danube is destined for Chourschid
Pacha, the favourite of the day, but whose move-
ments are interrupted by the Greeks.
On the frontiers of Bosnia the Turks have had
difkrances with the authorities of the country.
All Epirus is in movement, and opposing the
carrying off the treasures of Ali. The death of this
Chief appears to have given birth to discord amongst
the Members of the Divan.

Extract of a letter from St John's, N. 8., dated
Feb. 2.1.—" The Neptune Smith (late Kelly), ar-
rived here yesterday from Kingston, Jamaica, in 30
days; on the 27th January, off Cape Antonio, was
boarded by a Spanish piratical schooner, of about
50 tons, having one long gun amidships, beside
small arms, and manrcil with 20 men, who took
possession of the brig, and ran her into shoal water,
where they commenced taking every thing of value
they could lay their hands un ; they found 128 dou-
bloons, which were concealed in the middle stay-
sail, belonging to Mr. Edmund, the owner, and
about 201. in small gold, belonging to the captain.
The brig Amyr, of and for Liverpool, which sailed.
eight days previous to the Neptune, was in posse-
slot' of the same pirates; they had her close in short
discharging her cargo of sugar. Captain Smith was
near enough to the Amyl- to speak her, but could
learn no further particulars. The Neptune was
plundered last voyage about the same place, and it
is believed by the same piratical vessel."
