The Allgemeine Zeitung of the I 1 th inst. publislhes a re. port from Constautinople, that IitRAH}IN"-eACHA, COm- man)der of the Egyptian squadlroni which had been sc severely mauled by the Greeks, has shown himself in a conldition to sail from Boudroun, with the design of maki3ng an attempt o01 the Morea. The chaniiel thlrougl wlhich this rumour has reached the above-named neiwspaper is not less open to suspicion than is the statement itself. As Bohadil and Pistol, the more heartily they were thrashedl, indtlemnifiedl themselves by blustering with tho more cla- morous fierceness, so the respective Bashaws qf Madrid andl Constantiniople seem to take-revenge for the huinilia- tions inflicted oni one of them in South Anmerica, on the other in Greece, by the monstrous tales and boastings which they spread about the state of their affairs iti these two scenes of their discomfituires. If IBRAHrIM PAC}A, with his strength unbrokon, and with the 'I'urkish fleet to support him, was comnpelled to fly as often as he came in siglht of the common enemy, it is not likely that he should venture on offensive operations, after having lost above a moiety of his own) force, and after the total defeat and annihilation of his ally: nor, if by aily accident the Elgyptian Adimiral should have gainedl spirit enough for such an enterprise, would the Morea ap- pear to him the inost inviting spot. The Mlorea is, in fact, the citadel of the Greek 1iepublic. The wbole population would be ready to overwlhelm a more powerful invader than IORAHIM PACHA: nor is it probable that lhe would risk the fleet, which has so oft?n saved itself by fliglt only, fromz destruction, for an object of such secondary import, ance as the provisioning a fort, with a slender garrison, which has no command over the country blyoud the range of its own canniion. We offer these observations, however, as were conjoctures upon unauthenticated and hesitating reports. Tllere are, unhappily, few statements from Greece which come in any slhape entitling them to immediate credit. The fact of the evacuatton.of Moldavia and U7a- Tachia we have already stated. "CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 11. For some days past a report lis most unexpectedly been spread that Ibrahimn Pacha, who had left Mhylene for Boudroun, had tailed fronm thliS latter place for the Morea to attempt a landing. Though many persons doubt the truth of thia news, it 1s not irnpro. bable, as the Greeks have suddenly despatlhed to Patran 30 vessels from thelr fleet at lpsaya. Ibrahim Pacha, who was constantly at variarice-with the Capitan Pacha on account of the chiet command, thloug)h this campaign has proved so unfortuniate, wilhea, perhaps to make an attempt to ingratiate hinmself with the Sultan~ But it isdif ficult to believe that he will be completely succetfid ; the most that can be expected is, that he will be able to relieve the fortresses, ant supply theni with provisions. it seems, however, that the turn things have bitherto taken has made some impression on the mind of the Sultan, for It is generally affirned that on the 5th he issued orders for the troops in the principalities of Iloldavia and Walachia immediately to evacuate those provinces. But it has so often -been stated that such orders had been sent,that we must leave it to time to determine whether this report, which is certainly mere probable than before, is likewise better founded. The Sultana Belbam, sister to the unfortunate Sultan Selim, died a f'ew days ago, by which the Sultan inherits nearly two millionis of piasters."
