ODESSA, March 4.
A ship which has arrived at Constan,inoplr, af-
ter All extremely short passage OF only 40 hours,
brings the important, and, for the Porte most a.
farming intelligence, that Mohamed Ali pacha,
viceroy Of Egypt, has at length thrown aside the
mask and declared himself independent. 1t was
long ago known in Constan,nople that he med.
italed great things and the Porte, therefore tried
every means to weaken him, and lately ordered
him to furnish 1000 men to combat the Greeks.
Mohamed resolved, instead Of complying, to de.
clare himself independent, and TOR this he has
certainly chosen the most favourable moment.
Those alone who are competent to form an idea
of the situation of the Turkish Empire, can judge
what NAV be the consequence of This event res
pectnr which we look for further particulars,
and which may perhaps, shake all the Eastern
provinces of the empire not to speak OF the stua-
tim of the capital itself, which derives so many
supplies from Egypt. We presage that this event
will complete the emancipation of Greece, and
give the death blow to the power OF the Porte.

When living in Edinburg busy with that classical
composition, he was intimate with an old Jesuit,
who, like most of the order, wasa sclio'ar-a man
oftase; to his opinion as the parts We're finished,
the manuscript work was submitted. Soon after
the publication of Elizabeth's regn,th priest hap
pcned to turn over the pages, and was astonshed
10 find on the printed page, sins Of the Scottish
queen that never sullicd the written one ; Mary's
character was direcly the reverse ofwhat he had
read before. He sought the author and asked
the cause Why, answered Hume, the printer
said he should loose 500l by that story; indeed
he almost refused to print it: so was obliged 10
revise it as you saw" 1t is needless TO add, ,he
Jesuit reviewed no more manuscripts.
Extract Of private letter Of the Goth March,
from Rome -" The body of Miss Bathurst,
Z ord AyImer's niece, has not yet been found.
II The cause of the lamentable accident, which has
el.pr,yed our gay circles of one Of its most ac.
co,nplishcd and brilliant ornaments, was as fol-

yond the Peute Mole was so narrow and bad,
that the party who were on horse back, were OBJ

Besides Lord Aylmer young Engllshman, and
a servant of the French ambassador leaped into
the water. Divers, boats, and every Kind OF suc
cour we're Immediately employed, but it WAS too
late. In this place the Tbcr is winding and its
waters rapid. This young lady who is niece OF
4 Lord Bathurst, was seventeen years OF age, and
was the charm of all her friends by her beauty
and cultivated mind. A fatality seems 10 be at

who was ambassador to the court OF Prussia some
wears ago, suddenly disappeared whilst travers-
ing forest on his way to Hamburg, without his
boy being ever found or any certain information
obtained relative TO his death"
