and Tchapan Oglou Mehemed Pacha, who was an exile at Tokat,

"Jan. 2.—Sady Effendi is named Divan Effendi of Wallachia;
he will set out for Bucharest as soon as the Capon Kiaia of the
Prince has paid him his travelling expenses.
4‘ Jan. 4.—Two Tartars who arrived yesterday, brought some
heads, which have been exposed with the following inscription :...._
Some robbers lately appeared at Talenti and lgnoki. His
Excellency Redschid Pacha sent against them his troops, the faith-
ful friends of victory. The enemy, attacked with impetuosity,
was completely routed ; 2 cannon, 5 standards, and 150 heads,
were the trophies of the combat : they are seen here ignominiously
settled in the dust.'

" Redschid Pacha announces that he has beaten the Greeks,
and that Hissi Bey, with 2,000 men, has made them 117 towards
Salona. Among those whom he has lost, and who are pretty nu-
merous, are Miscorli Ahmed Bey, his kiajah, Hassan Bey, and
five other Albanian Bimbachi. • Karaiskaki, who commanded
The Greeks, had with him several Europeans. An account of this
affair is here annexed in the form of a letter, addressed by the
Chief to his countrymen; it circulates at Constantinople with a
variation.
"The individual there called Dimos Teelias is designated in
other copies by the name of Dinionveil ; this alteration, which
probably was not made unintentionally, has produced the effect
expected from it, and this has given reason to suppose that this
individual was a Frenchman. According to another account
which came from Egina, Redschid Pacha having sent into Upper
Greece his Kiaia Bey, and other Birnbachis, with 4,000 Alba-
nians, to reduce the revolted villages, this' corps being pressed by
Karaiskaki and Agalapoulo-Maeri, was obliged to take refuge in
Arahora, a village near Salona, and after a siege of some days,
being in want of provisions, resolved to retreat by night. The
Greeks who guarded the passages are stated to have attacked
them, and to have killed 1,300 men. This action passed on the
6th of December, and it is known from the testimony of those
who were near the spot, that the loss of the Turks did not exceed
100 men.

" Redschid Pacha has written to the Porte that he was in want
of provisions, and that if he did not soon receive them he should
be obliged to raise the siege of Athens.

" Jan. 6.—Sixteen Janissaries have been brought from Kaa-
tamboul, whither they were banished in the month of June. They
have been executed in different parts of Constantinople. It is said
that they used seditious language.
" A messenger from the Pacha of Diarbekir has brought
word that his master has beaten the Yerides (Curds, who often
plunder the caravans of Bagdad) and that he Bendel° the Porte
heads and slaves. The Pacha of Monch has retired into the
Persian territory, after having been beaten by his successor near
Diadornus.

"Jan. 7.—Letters from Navarino say, that Ibrahim Pacha had
left 3,000 men at Tripolizza, and that when the Egyptian squa-
dron arrived, he was with 8,000 in the environs of Modon,
Coron. and Navarino.

Ali Pacha of Jannina, has returned from his mission to Albania,

Lhat a great abuse has been introduced into Galata, by the bar-
,;:"Lt.uilling their shops into coffee-houses now, though there is
o objection to the barbers giving coffee to their customers, the
resort of persons who come to their shops as if they were real
coffeehouses, is to be prevented, and all such idle persons who
do hot want to be shaved, are to be desired to go home and mind
their business,"

PA BIS FEB. 12.—We hear to-day, that a great number of the
electors of Paris, who are deeply alarmed at a succession of acts

'inpartiality, publish all the documents that may reach us on this
