tended to the first mentioned Island, and
to that of Paxo, the measure of disarmng
the population, already carried into effect
in the other lonian islands. The adop-
ton of this measure in Corfu, his Excel
lency stated in his proclamation had been
delayed, because there existed no positive
military necessity fer it, as IN some OF the
islands, the conduct of the inhabitants OF
Corfu being marked with disposition oil
obedience to government. And yet, con-
siderIng the situation Of the surrounding
countries. and the internal situation OF the
islands themselves, His Excellency IN
order to secure the general internal
tranquility, and to give final blow TO
those scenes of individual atrocity. when
H. E was sorry to add, had been still too
frequent in Corfu itself, had deemed 1t ex,
pedient with the consent and ADVICE OF
H. H. the President and most illustrio9s
the Senate) to place the Islands OF .oriu
and Paxo, for the time, under martial law;
with the reserve, that all the Civil courts
should proceed in their functions: II. f.:
further required that the inhab itants OF
every degree, should deliver up their arms
taking care to affix labels to them, oy,
which they might know them again; and
announced that as soon as the disarmlng
should have been completed, immediate
measures would be taken to return the
arms to the Mobiles generally, and to that
large class of the people on whose loyalty
and fidelity government could depend, to
be held by them under express license from
government. In conclusion H. E warned
all persons attempting to contravene his
proclamation, that they would stand ex-
posed to the rigor of Martial Law; and al
though IT was not his intention to send
troops into the county on this occasion. ex-
pressed bis determination TO march them
without delay into such villages, or dis
tricts as might attempi to evade the purport
of the proclamation.

Malta. FEB. IL.
Intelligence respecting A.y Pacha has
this morning arrived from Corfu: accounts,
il appears have been received there which
represent his present situation to be iuimi-
nently critical The fullest reliance, we
believe, may be placed upon these accounts
and we therefore publish them.
The following is an extract OF letter
which has been received in Corfu from
Preyisa, dated the LIST inst.
''All the outworks and forts at Janina
are taken, and in them large stock OF
provisions has been found, which proved
of great value to the besieging army un.
der the Turkish SeraskIer, Hourshid Pa
cha. Ali Pecha got into small we'll Sc
cured easement, with two Of his women
and few followers. There he sits on
barrels of gunpowder with his treasures
ready to destroy himself in any dangerous
emergency. He has demanded to be sent
to Constantinople, having he says, two
most important communications to make
to the Sulta-, into whose hands he commits
himself. A courier has been sent to Con-
stantinople for orders how TO proceed with
him In the mean time, the Seraskier is
taking measures to remove his head quar-
tiers to Arto and he lately has executed
two Pacbas who served under him, for not
making better resistance against the
Greeks at Arta, and in its neighborhood.
1t is plain the SeraskIer meditates an at
tack on Acarnania. and then intends to
pass on TO the Morea."
The following is an extract OF letter
from the same place under more recent
date, the 9th inst.
cali is at length prisoner to Hurshid
Pascba. Capt. Ducca, in the Turkish ser
vice, has just arrived from Delvina, which
place he left yesterday. He declares,
that, while at the COMMANDMENTS house
there, on Sunday last the latter received
an express from Janina, to INFORM him, that
on Friday night last, Ally was siezed by
Atanasi Vega, Greek chief in his own
service, and delivered over to the Turkish
troops about o'clock
{" Ali was taken to Peramo, about two
miles distant, and kept prisoner in one of
his own palaces. The seizure of his per-
son was the consequence of an agreement
to that effect between Vega and HLrshid
Pasha; and, when taken, he had about 35
Greeks and Is Turks with him He was
seized in an instant, and when he little ex-
pected such all attempt; he was assured OF
safety for the moment, and of being imme-
diately sent to Constaninople. He is
said to have had immense treasures near
him, and to have lately sat instantly in a
corner of bis apartment, with quantity
or gunpowder under him, as we had tor
merry heard" Malta Gos.
