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.

SUNDAY, MAY 21.

OUR Governors appear determine(' to rely on the
majorities they can command, by the present lament-
able state of the House of Commons, rather titan
defer to the wishes of the Country at large. They
tuade the King profess economical intentions when
he opened the first Parliament of his reign, and how
du his Ministers fulfil his gracious intention—why,
though by the alter tion in the state of currency
751. is equal to what 1001. was in 1816,
when the rate of the Civil List was declared
to be arranged from motives of delicacy only pro
tempore, and on which account many unjustifiable
charges were allowed to paw uncommented on ;
.--though England had then in fact to support one
King, one Queen, a Heiress presumptive, and a
Royal Duke, more than arc living now to receive
their stipends, yet Ministers take credit to them-
selves because they demand not an increase; well
zany we exclaim with our immortal bard—
" And be these juggling fiends no mom believed,
Who palter with us in a double sense,
Who keep the word of promise to our ear—
But break it to our hope."

The Paris Papers of Sunday and Monday have
arrived. The flew/a/ace informs informs its readers
than an insurrection has broken out at Jamaica,
not less general nor less bloody than that which de-
solate San Domingo. The people ofJamaica knew
nothing of this terrible tragedy when the last ac-
counts were sent off; and must be surprised at their
ignorance when they receive their information from
the French Journalist, who no doubt has adapted
the falsehood to the taste of his readers—The eccle-
siastics of Spain seem violently opposed to the Con-
stitution of the Cortes, and do not pretend to dis-
semble nor conceal their sentiments. Nothing can
be a greater compliment to the Constitution than
the hatred it excites in the Clergy, the unalterable
friends and advocates of the Inquisition. A priest
at Ordeguna, in Biscay, burning with furious zeal
in favour of despotism, had the imprudence to burn
a copy of the Constitution publicly in his church,
telling the spectators that it was hostile to the
principles of the Christian religion. The Authori-
ties proceeded to arrest him, but he ran away, re-
ferring un escape to Bayonne to martyrdom !
Another meddling ecclesiastic has fared worse.—
Having preached publicly against the Constitution
is the town of Carccres, the people of the town com-
pelled the magistrates to throw him into prison, and
prosecute the offentkr. Mina anti the civil autho-
rities of Navarre continue much at variance, and it
is supposed he will not be able to maintain his post as
Viceroy The Journal des Debals mentions a
report prevailing in Paris, that the Queen of Eng-
land has been for Kyrie time in that city, where her
Majesty observes a strict incognito From what
we state in another part of our paper it is needless
to remark there is no foundation in the rumour.

The Paris Papers of Saturday last have urrived.
The Chitmber of Peers was summoned to meet On
Monday, to commence its proceedin.s. preparatory
to the public trial of Louvel, the murderer of the
Duke of Berri. Thurslay last an individual was
taken into cum: o!y near the hotel of the Minister
of the Interim, for uttering seditious expressions,
such as—tong live :lapoleou—he will retro u—he is
my Sovereign—l am a soldier q. the Republic—
Long Live the Emperor, and sevcral other ex-
travagant exclamations. The man must be some
political maniac who has thus exposed himself, by
