Revolt of Ali Pucha.-According to infor-
nation received at Venice, by vessel from
the Ionan Islands, which left Corfu on the
96th Of April, it appears that Ali Pacha, of
! Albania, had been called to ConstantinopIe,
by the Grand Vizier. to account for his con-
duct; but that he had refused to obey the
summons, and had raised the standard of
revolt against the Porte. Il twas added, that
both Greeks and Turks had taken the oath
of allegiance to him, and that he was at
Prevesa, organizing his army. 1t was re.
ported at Curfu, that Ali had declared him
self King of Epirus, and that to attach to
his interests the Greek population, which is
by far the most numerous in his states, he
had caused himself to be baptised.

preheLson. has been renewing his machina-
tons. He has, however, been fortunately
laid hold of, and If he does not meet with a
severer fate, will accompany the other Ma

possession, to the Isle of France, 10 which
it has been resolved 10 exile them.
