CONSTANTTNOPLF, APRIL 10, 182.0.—An affair !iasjust occurred here which has caused a great deal of noise. Two Albanians, on horseback, rode very briskly up to the door of the Ci raml Seignior's Chamberlain, Pashow Bey, and en the Chamberlain's looking out at his window 'to know what they wanted, they both tired their pistols at him. The balls whizzal pest the Bey's head fortunately without touching him. The assassins instantly scampered off by the road to Adrianople. A well-mounted party was in a few minutes in pursuit of them, and at a village about Gu miles off they came up with one of the fugitives, whom they seized and brought back to Constantinople ; the other effected his escape. The Albanian in custody refused at first to say a word in explanation of the extraordinary and daring adventure in which he had been engaged, but, on being put to the rack, he confessed, what was generally believed to the case, that he and his coat. paition had been hired by the famous Ali Pucha to murder Pashow Bey. The fact is, that this is only one of many machinations on the part of Ali Pacha to take away the of the Chamberlain, against whom he aprears to have conceived an unextinguishable hatred. The history of Pashow Bey. for years past, has been nothing but a narrative of hairbreadth escapes from the vengeance of his persecutor. At one time, by reeaus of bribery and intrigue, Ali Pacha contrived to procure a sentence of death from the Porte against him, to escape which Pashow Bey fled into Lgypt. from the Viceroy of which he received protect ion. While residing at Alexandria some Albanian mariners called on him, and solicited his advice, as a countryman, as to the disposal of some goods which they said they had just brought into the harbour, and which they wished him to go on board their small bark to inspect. Pashow had learnt by this time the danger of being too confiding; he sent person to make a private survey of the Albanian vessel, who reported that, instead of being laden with goods, she was all in sailing trim, ready to start at a moment's notice. Pashow, of course, declined the fri.aelly invitation of his countrymen, who, finding themselves baulked in their tun obvious design, loft the port with all possible expedition. Tae circumstance coming to the ear of the Viceroy so strengthened the interest which lie had taken in Pashow Bey, that he applied in his behalf to the Grand Seignior, from whom he obtained a revocation of the sentence of death, and permission to Pashow to return to Constantinople, where he has since resided. The Sultan was so incensed at this last audacious attempt of Ali Riche's, that he bad determined to visit him with his utmost displeasure, but he has since adopted a more cautious but perhaps as severe a policy. He has appointed new governors to a number of military posts, particularly of the principal passes into Allsa ia, which have been hitherto allowed to be held by persons of Ali's appointment. This is supposed to be a great step towards the ill timate downfall of this formidable partisan. His agents have been also sent away from the capital, and all property of Ali's in their hands has been nixed.  It api.cars that Ali Paella, had been called to Constanticuple, by the Grand Vizier, to -..ccount for his conduct; but that he bud refused to obey the summons, and bad raised the standard of revolt against the Porte. It was added, that both Greeks and Turks bud taken the oath of allegiance to him, anti that he was at Prevesa, organizing his army. It was reported at Corfu :but Ali had declared hint self King of Epirus, and that to attach to his interests the Greek population, which is by far the nicst numerous in his states, he had caused himself to be babptized.
