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

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 Westminster and I'urity of
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 given to various descriptions of.
trade by this event has already been prodLctive
great advantage to many distressed ilunilies.
