TURKET.

CONSTIINTINOPLI AUGITST Porta has
received very anplelfant advice. frosts Egypt. The
rebellious Arnautb have driven the (mall number of
JanitTaries which remained faithful to the Porte, from
Cairo, and invited the Beys in Upper Egypt to make
a common caufe with them. The latter have cc-
cepted the invitation, and colleded their troops un-
der the command of Isaantis Bay at Giza, whence
they frequently fend oat detachments to Cairo. The
Porte expeas Rill more difagreeable news from Egypt.
The accounts from Syria are likewife very unfa-
vourable. The rebels under AZOV& WICMAS, who
has taken the city of Mediae, are on their march
far Dama(cus. The report that they had been de-
feated, is not confirmed. The Divan has feat orders
to all the Pachas in Ma to Unite their forces to pre-
vent the further progrefs of the& daring enemies of
the Mahometan roh
The advice. from -European Turkey are of a Some-
what better completion. The Turk& army
bled at Schiumla holds the difeontented in check._

The CATITAII PACII• will only anise with his fleet
in the Archipelago: he appears to have too few land
forces to afford any aid againft the rebels in Egypt.

AUGUST 211.-••• The accounts which tbe Porte has
received by fevcral couriers in the beginning of this
week are very gloomy. The rebels-have obtained
to &alive very
in Egypt. that it begins to
be doubted whether it will be poable foe the Porte
to regain this rich and fertile province. Several of
the Torkifh Minifters openly avow that the retiring
of the Englab from Alexandria has been very inju-
rious to the fovereignty of the Porte. The Araauts
er Albanefe, have found means to form a clofe con-
neition with the Mamelukes, and with. their united
force have entirely defeated the Turkilk Pacha who
commanded for the GRAND SBIONIIOII. He loft Tome
thonfands of his troops killed on the fpot, and the
reft are fo difperfed. that it is not expeeted that he
will be able to eolleft them together again. Many'
of them have fusee joined the enemy.
The Porte now only retains polie(Son of Alegan
dria. The new Paeba who had been appointed Go.
vernor of Cairo, fled from that city, with about too
men. It is expelted that the rebels will without delay
march againft Alexandria, and that the feeble gar.
titan wilt immediately open its gates to them. Such
was the fituation of affairs in Egypt, at the latter
end of July.
Several Councils have been held, and it has been
resolved to give to Djaasaa, the Pacha of Acre, the
command of the army which is to ad againft ABDUL
Wacnas ; and to appoint him Pacha of Dansafeus,
allowing him at the fame time to retain his own
pachalik, which is the firft inflame of the kind. The
rebel ABDUL WICNAB is now in of the ci-
ties of Mecca and Medina, and claims the caliphat,
the principal dignity of the Cease Setontoa, as his
right.
The danger is confsdered at Conflantinople as
treat. but the means to repel it are feeble and Infuf-
haent. A great fan ha. been promifed Djazzaa
monthly ; but the Porte n not be able to pay it,
and the Pacha of Acre wilt thus be furnilbed with
an cacnk, Would be cleft nothing.
