TIIE. GREEKS AND TURKS.
We have various articles in these papers
concerning the Greeks and Turks, &c. via
Malta. An article dated Malta, May 90,
mentions sort of rebellion in the upper
provinces of Egypt, in which ii was suppo
sed that some English travellers had lost
their lives. The rehcis were brheaded by Il
SheilS calling himself prophet, and pre-
tending to have come from heaven 10 re
form the Mahometan religion. II 10 said
that he had been taken and brheaded. A
postscript, however, states that the En-
sIish travellers, though for SOME days III
