the fate which probably awaited him, and the
wreck of his army from destruction.
This resolution, it now appears, was lately
adopted at a family meeting of MEHEmET ALI,
IBRAHIM, and the two sons-in law of the
Pacha. It is even thought that a Pacha,
who also bears the name of IBRAHIM, and who
had been sent by the Divan to take the com-
mand of the Turkish vessels in the port of
Alexandria, would be made to wait for a consi-
derable period before being permitted to proceed
to sea. Although affairs are thus ominously
situated, no open rupture has yet broken out,
because on the part of the PORTE the period is
not favourable for taking immediate vengeance
on his rebellious vassal, and because, in regard
to the Pacha, he either feels that he has no-

thing to gain by commencing hostilities
with the SULTAN, or perhaps he wishes
to throw the odium of the first attack on
the PORTE. But whether he is to take
the lead in commencing hostilities, or to act
merely on the defensive, there seems to be
no doubt that he is seriously preparing for the
event of a decided rupture with the Ottoman
Government. The coasts are fortified as well
as possible, two fortresses having been raised,

the one at Aboukir, and the other at the rock of•
the Arabs, which are said to be the only points
where a landing could effected.
In consequence of new levies the army of the
Pacha now amounts to 35,000 infantry and
5,000 cavalry, all European, vbithout taking into
account the troops employed at Mecca and Cor-
donfau. With the aid of the natural de-
fences arising from the position of the country,
surrounded by deserts, these forces are thought
to be sufficient to repel an attack, supposing the
Arab soldiers to be faithful. Preparations are
said to be in progress for sending a corps of
8,000 men to garrison a fortress situated beyond
the desert towards Syria, and the extremity of
the Pachalic of Egypt. On the sea it is

thought that the Turks would find it difficult
even to maintain an ineffectual blockade espe-
cially during the winter, the Pacha having
several fine frigates, which sail remarkably well,
a quality for which the Turkish cruisers are not
very conspicuous.

The whole of the hypothesis rests, of course,
on the supposition that the forces under the im-
mediate orders of the Pacha, naval as well as
military, are disposed to favour his views of am-
bition or independence ; and that is a point as
to which there seems to be considerable doubt.
France has long been suspected of having a de-
sign on this fertile territory, from its capability of
furnishing those supplies of cotton, coffee,
sugar, and other articles, which must at present
be brought from America, or raised more ex-
pensively at home, and which at the same time
operates as one of the most active of the causes
of that feeling of jealousy too generally enter-
tained in this country against the commerce of
England.

NEWS FROM GREECE.

tions relative to the definitive fate of Greece.

Considering that the Government, in undertaking the
serious and difficult task of answering these communica-

ciples which the National Assembly at Epidaurus laid
down for the restoration of Greece, and which were de-
veloped in the instructions of the 26th April, 1826, which
it gave in the Diplomatic Committee appointed by it,
Considering the said instructions express the wishes of
Greece asthe great interests for which it struggled unalterably
require, and as the engagements demand which Greece
entered into before God and man—as well towards itself as
a nation, as towards every individual of the Greeks who
have sacrificed their fortunes, and shed their blood in the
sacred defence of their country,
Considering that these engagements are and must remain
inviolable, because they are enjoined and consecrated by
honour and religion,

The Fourth National Assembly of the Greeks decrees—

has followed in the just appreciation of the Allied Courts,
in his Manifesto of the 23d of May, and his note of the
Bth of June, are approved in the fullest extent.

daurns agreed to, and according to which the instruction
