Ter shooting al him, was taken, war was wag-
ed under the command OF lbram against the
Vizier.
To show what strange reports obtain curren-
cy and credit in those quarters, il need only-be
stated, that among them one is very prevalent
that not only Mantho formerly alleged 10 have
been murdered by one of Ihraim's allies, be-
tween Epirus and Thessaly, but also the sons
of Ali Pasha, and even the Vizier himself
have gone to excite Russia in their favor, and
that the Sultan's troops are besicging ut Yam
nina, an empty castle. Our correspondent,
however, rather inclines TO the general opinion,
that the Vizicr, deserted by his Albanian com.
patriots, is confined with only 1900 adherents,
IN his great Seraglo on the peninsula of the
Lake. and surrounded by 10000 of his own
revolted and other hostile troops. He adds,
:" the provinces he had usIrped are divided
among several Pashas and inferior Beys, and
there seems to be little doubt Though cacula-
ton is often at fault in this country, deprived
of posts, couriers and printing presses,l that
he must in few months fall close prisoner,
and 8 be forever fallen. " That part of Yam
nina, containing $4,000 inhabitants. which he
has burnt, is said to be that called Matropolo,
about the cathedral and Bazaar, near his great
SeraSho, to open range for his cannon.
The common sentiment through the Greek
provinces seems to be, that the country, split
as 1t IS INTO so many petty governments subor-
dluate TO the Sultan, though be is considered
to be secret leicester of the Greeks as well
as Of Franks, including even the English. i
