AM PACIf

Eatract of a Letter from donstantinople, dated
the 10th of April, 1820:

" An affair has just occurred here which has
causes! a great deal of. :liaise. Two Albanians, an
horseback, rode briskly up to the door of the Grand
Seignior's Chamberlain, Pashow Bey, and on tiie
Chamberlain's looking out at his window tb know
what they wanted, they both fired their pistols at hitn.
The balls whizzed past the Bey's head, fortunately
without touching him. The assassins instilitly scam-
pered off at full gallop by the road to Adrianople.
A well.mounted party was in a few minutes in pur-
suit of them, and at a village about sixty 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 extraordi-
nary and daring adventure in which he had been en-
gaged, but en being put to the rack, he confessed,
what was generally believed to be the case, that he
and his companion had been hired by the famous
Ali Pacha to murder Pashow Bey.
" The fact, I understand, is, that this is only one of
many machinations, on the part of Ali Pacha, to take
-away the life of the Chamberlain, against whom he
appears to have conceived an unexting u ish able 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
means of bribery and intrigue, Ali Pacha contrived
to procure a sentence cf death from the Porte against
him, to escape which, Pashow Bey fled into Egypt,
from the Viceroy of which he received protection.
" 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; lie en: a
person to make a private survey ~t tl-e Aibaniaa ves-
sel, who reported, that ingead ol beir.g laden with
goods, she was all in sailing trim, ready to start at
a monitat's notice. Pashow of course detalined the
friendly invitation of his countrymen, who finding
themselves baulked in their too obvious design, left
the port with all possible expedition. The circum-
stance coming to the ear of the Viceroy. so strength.
coed the interest which he had taken in Pashow
Bey. that he applied in his behalf to the Grand
Seignior, from whom he obtained, a revocation
the sentence of death, and permission to Pashow to
retain to Constantinople, where he has since resided.
" The Sultan, I am told, was so incensed at this
last audacious attempt of Ali Pacha's, that he had
determined to visit him with his utmost displeasure;
hut be has since adopted a more cautious, but, per-
haps, as severe a policy. He has appointed new
governors to a number of military posts, particu-
larly of the principal passes into Albania, which
have been hitherto allowed to be held by persons of
Ali's appointment. This is supposed to be a great
step towards the ultimate downfall of this formi-
dable partizan. His agents have been also sent away
from the capital, and all property of Ali's, in their
hands, has been seized."

The usual grand Ball given to the Ladies by the
Most Noble Knights of the Bath, on their Installation,
and which was postponed till the conclusion of the
war, is, we understand, to take place on a more ex-
tensive and magnificent scale than was ever witnessed
in this country, as there are fifty Knights to be in-
stalled. Vauxhall Gardens, and those of Chelsea
College, are mentioned as the places at which this
splendid entertainment is to take place.

MADRAS JANUARY 15.—The following is an ex-
tract of a letter from the transport Golconda, Capt.
EDWARDS, which vessel sailed from this port with
troops on the 20th of April. The letter is dated at
Simon's Bay, July :

66 We have arrived at Simon's Bay after having encoun-
tered a most tremendous gale off the Cape, a poor Lascar was
blown overboard, and met with a watery grave. Since we
quitted the Coromandel coast, we bad that dreadful plague.
the chortra 'morbid, on board. An Oflicer of his Majesty's
•6th Regiment fell a victim to it; another belonging to his Ma-
jesty's 54th Regiment, had experienced an attack, but is likely
to recover, and another Officer died of a deep decline. We have
bad no small share of sickness from our leaving the coast till our
arrival at the Cape. A serjeant and a private of the 86th Regi-
ment, with one woman and a child died, also the ship's Steward;
many had been dangerously ill."
CANTON, Dxc. 20.—The Congress frigate is here,
and her arrival has excited the fears of the Chinese,
,who constantly keep aimed vessels to watch her.—
They have more than once ordered Captain HENLEY
to depart. He, however, did not think it proper to
obey, and they do not possess sufficient force to en.
force their mandate, and all intercourse with the
natives is prohibited; the only method 'of obtaining
provisions is through the agency of the American
Consul (Mr. WlLcox), who, after purchasing the ne-
cessary articles, is obliged to have them conveyed in
vessels some distance from Caliton, to where the fri-
gate is anchored.
