CONSTANTIROPLI, MARCH ay.—The private le-
cretary of the Reis Effendi, or Miniffer of Foreign
Affairs, ACHMIDGI EFFENDI, whom the Porte has
appointed the new Plenipotentiary for the negoci-
tion of peace with France, has received the tide of
Secretary of State. He is a pupil of the celebrat-
ed PASCHID EFVEHISI. The Prince MORUSY the
Elder is appointed his interpreter. The Begler-
beg of Romelia, HARI PACHA, to whom the com-
mand of the expedition again ft the rebellious Pacha
of that country was confided, is banifhed to the
Wand of Chios, becanfe his people were difaffeited,
and he himfelf teemed to take no effeanal ma-
tures to reprefs the rebellion. OM llt PACHA is Sp-
pointed his fuccettor. All the Englith troops, in-
cluding the Seapoys, in Egypt, do not exceed
4000 men.

A horrible gang of mifcreants, who for many
years carried on their villainies, have been lately
difcovercii here. A number of boatmen, or mar-
ten of fmall vetrels, who ukd to ply on the canals
to carry people acrofs, kc. for a fmall fare, were in
the habit, intlead.of carrying them to their defti-
nation, to carry them to remote places, and there
rob and murder them. A young child, whofe mo
ther had been murdered, made a difcovery before
the Boilangl Bachi, and thirty of the villains have
been executed. Lord Es.nra's health is re-eftab.

Since Saturday Paris Journals to the 3oth of
April have alto come to hand, from which we
have,given large extraas in the precedingcolumns.

The Moniteur contains no news from St. Do-
mingo—a circumflance rather fingular. A letter
of Admiral VI LLARET, of the 6th of March, makes
very honourable mention of the politenefs of Ad-
miral DvczwoasK, to the Officer fent to notify the
arrival of the French force in the Weft Indies.

There are Tome difpatches from the ufurping
Government in Guadaloupe in defence of their
condo& but the articles are of no intere(t to the
Englifh reader. The ifland is [till in their hands,
but their objeftions feem to be perfonally again(

The meafure of the amnefty in favour of the
Emigrants, teems to meet with the approbation
of almoft every circle we have fallen in with.—
It is as complete as perhaps could have been ei-
peded after fo entire and (weeping a Revolution,
which prefented no common point at which thole
who promoted, and thole who oppofed it, could
ever meet. It is with relation to the circum-
fiances and the time, therefore, not upon ab.
ftrad principles, that the meafure is to be jucig.
ed. In many refpeds the CHIEF Comm. has
thewn A difpofition, in fpite of many (Mules,
to repair the injuftice, and cancel the crimes
of former eras. If in the opinion of any he
has not done dl that was defirable, it may fairly
be Paid that he has generally done all that was
poffible. He can no more repair all the fufferings
which the Revolution has occifioned to individuals,
than he can recal the pall, and undo every thing
that has been done for the laft fourteen yeark.—
Men of candour will not blame him for not drat-
ing all that fanguine hope, or peevith difcontent
demanded ; they will praife him for having in dif-
ficult circumftances done much good, redrelfed
many grievances, and prevented innumerable
evils. If it be objeaed to him, as we think it may
be juftly objefted to him, that after a revolution,
which profeffed to enlarge the civil and political
freedom of the State, he has not made the intereft
of liberty his care and attention, it moil be allowed
that he has directed his policy on national princi-
ples, and his perfonal conduit by magnanimous
feelings. He certainly has not made, as he
could not make, a new people, but he has &il-
ia), adapted himfelf to the charader of the times
in which he lived, and the men among whom he
vas to :ca. He may have thought that it was not
fir him or for any man to give an entirely new di.
reetion to the fpirit and charader of a civilized and
riliflted fociety. He may have thought that to
form a Republic out of the ruins of a corrupted
Monarchy, and the emancipated flavery of a
Refined People, was art attempt without example
in the hiftory of mankind : he may have feen
that Republics have been corrupted into Mo.
marchies, but that extenfive and refined Monar-
chu.s never have, and probably never can be re-
generated into Republics ; he may have thought
that inch a progrefa was out of the order of Pro-
vim ct, and the courfe of human affairs; he may
have thought that it was not permitted to him to
be the founder of a virtuous Republic, though he
might add lutire to the military fame of a great
Empire, and fecure a fleeting of tranquility to the
world. By a rare merit and a iingular fortune he
has indeed achieved wonderful things. He ought
to be dared rather with the extraordinary men
whom the declining ages of Roman greatnefs pro-
duced, than with the more perfed models of pure
and virtuous times. He might be compared with
ALEXANDER &VIRUS, with AURELIAN, or per.
haps with CONSTANTINE, but not with Faze ICIUS,
or with SCIPIO. A due regard to the Elate of fo-
ciety, and to the age in which BONAPARTE lives
and ads, would temper the zeal both of his pane.
gyrifts and his detradors. It would teach them
what they ought reafonably to cape& from him,
and whatt they fairly may condemn.
