The whole is written with a very manly and

The preparations which are making by
the Ottoman Porte, to put down the rebeli-
Gus Pacha of Albania, are the most active
and energetic which that government has e.
yer made against one of its own subjects
A powerful force, by land and sea, is order
ed to be in preparation, and there are many
considerations of policy and pride, which
urges the Grand Seignor t. adopt such mea-
sures as will insure success; because, if the
power OF the Ottoman Porte, whose arms
were once SO much dreaded, is incapable of
subduing refractory and disobedient Pa
cha. what hopes can they have of resisting
the Russian forces when their attack is made?
There is only one circumstance in the rebel
lion of Ali Pacha which creates uneasiness
in the Divan-it is the great number of
Greeks which have joined Ali, under pro-
misses OF liberty to their native country, and
the adoption of the Greek religion on the
part OF their chief, whose well known per-
fdy and cruelty will induce him to belray
any confidence, or make any terms suited to
his own interest. 1t is not the number of
Greeks which are spread over Albania that
creates so much uneasness-it is the fear of
revolt among those in the army and navy of
the Grand Seignor that is dreaded still, if
the preparations are vigilant and e, the
freebooter will be destroyed. The Ottoman
Porte has TO fear the rebellion of the Beys
of Upper and Lower Egypt, which would
not be in their power to qucll, whereas they
are TOO near Albania to permit instruction
with IMMUNITY. Al all events, the Turkish
scimetar, which has remained shealhed Ior
many years, will once more be drawn. and
those cannon which Numbered from the
walls Of lsmael may be heard at the Streights
of Thermopyla. The Russians will look
on a contest which they have sci on foot with
great interest. and they will be enabled to
decids whether the Turks fight as desperate
ly against Ali Pacha as they did against Po-
temkln or Suyarrof 1t would appear that
the Christian governments are indifferent as
TO the result; nay some would be pleased 10
see Ali Pacha succeed, because 1t v oud
weaken the Turkish power; but it viii be
recolletled that this Pacha is notoliously
wicked and abandoned scoundrel, whose
power has been stained by every Kind of cru.
