Of this number especially is the Pacha of Bagdad. If four other unrulv pacha* of Bulgaria join themselves to him, x the Grand beignor w ill need to have armies in Asia aud Europe to sub due these different rebels. We are impatient (o know which of them the l*Qfte will attack first. It isproba - ble, if will be the pacha of Jauma, - who is ib* most resolute of all. He has received intelligence (hat the Porte is' arming against him. lji const quence of this he exercises his troops every day, and is making such preparations for defence, as the troops of the Grand Beignor will . find difficult to overcome. , Many statesmen doubt whether the porte will succeed/ especially if it is true, as some maintain, that ail 'Greece is devoted to this pretended king of ?pirus, who wishes to embrace the Oreek religion, and that all the in habitants of that country willjoyfuU ly pass under his standard in order to get rid of the Turkish yoke, a change which may cause them to. fall from Oharybdift into Hey 11a.

But their troops jnoved with so much difficulty, that even the Janissaries for the most part here or in the pro vinces in the neighborhood of the capital, arrived but slowly* ?

The Avant-garde composed of Tar tars and other irregular troops sup port the pachas who have been re* quired to- march and are under their command* These were formerly ithe pachas of Jlomeliaand Anatolia, but as these are now supposed to have joined the pacha of Janina, their places, must be supplied by others. Next comes the Herashies or Lieu tenant of the Grand Vizier with the troops and the pachat of fcrzerom and of Basnia* These arc imme diately followed by the Aga of the Janissaries at the head -of his troops.!

COftFV, may SO. Till May 10, there had been no battle between the troops of the jforte awl those of Ali Pacha. It is not positively known where ttie Grand Seignor's army is to he found. All has not taken the title of king ol Macedonia nor that of king of Kpi rus, neither has lie been baptised. These are extreme measures t<i which he will not have recourse till af^er having gained a battle, and it in still quite uncertain whether, even after a victciry he wonld wish to se parate his cause so entirely from all >lussulmen. It seems that this re p it was spread by the Soulietes and i rnr^uiuotes v> ho hav* taken refuse at Corfu. The Pacha has made iiliein propositions in order to engage them to enter Kpitus and serve un- ^ der his banner. ? He sent them his offers hy the chiefs of the Klepte* or Greek banditti, who have entered his service, and who were formerly chiefs of -Houli and Pargn. But as the extreme perfidy of Ali is known, no one dares trust his most flattering promises. They remember the ad venture of Gen. Rose, a Frenchman, who being invited to Janina, to mar ry a daughter of Ah was beheaded just as he was prepaying to joiu the wedding feast. It seems that Alii had promised the Parguinote* to be come a christian, but they do not give the least credit to this new arti fice*/* It <10 quite certain that Ali Pacha lias begun his defensive opera tions by arresting the richest and most influential people in the extent of his provinces. He has done the same with regard to the Turks, and the citadel of Janina situated on the lake of the sam& name, is filledwith hostages of this sort, who are assur ed by the Pacha in person, that up on the first motion of their friends mid relations in *fevor of the Porte they shall be sewed up. in bags and thrown into the sea. ; On the other hand, he has mad<\ an appeal to all those Greeks w ho live m the forests or on '"the moun tains in a state of independence, or rather savage anarchy. These men,> known by the name of Kleptes or robbers, (a title of honor among them) have almost all of them enter ed the service of the ?iPach'n, and their number is already estimated at 80,000 men. They commit all sorts of excesses*- their course extends across Tbessaly and < Macedonia to the .confines of Hotnelia. All is complete disorder in these provinces. Ali PaCha has promised, by means' of his agents, an exemption from all taxes those among his subjects who shall take op arnig. He has also set at liberty and arm ed a crowd of prisoners. All the * Inhabitants of Janina, without ex ception, from the bishop to the mean est laborer are obliged rto work day ? and night upon a rampart and a ditch, with which the Pacha is snrronnc^ing this city. The women assist in those labors. . The principal force of AH is assembled in a camp a Cinqui Pazzi, between Janipa and Prevesa. He has established a telegraph from Prevesa to Janina, so that he .receives news from thfe coast in an hour and a' half. Vv r 9 ^We may conclude from these two circumstances, that he foresees the , probability that the Turks may trans port their army by sea to attack Epirus upon the coast, and arrive more promptly at Janina. r , y The foundation of the question , $eems to be thfy The Porte wishes to take possession of the immense treasures of All Pacha, which are ? said to amount to more than 200 ! millions. rEhe Porte would be glad at least to sltare them to the preju- . dice of his sons Mouctai* and Teli, neither of whom is in a state to take the place of old Ali on the field of battle. ? < * 'V : ST. THOMAS, AUGUST The news from Angostura is as late as the 18th of July*? Gen. Mo rillo had sent a Flag of Truce from Caracas with a communication to the Sovereign Congress of Columbia, to which Jie gives the title of " Most Herene Highness," to know whether that body would receive Commis sioners to trent upon a suspension of arms, &c. until the Cortes should as seudrie to deliberate on the affairs of the Provinces. ? Tbeanswer, orratb er Decree of the Congress, sent to Mori llo, was, in substance, as fol lows: "That they would with pleasure receive all the propositions which Hie Spanish Government might communicate, provided they should have for their basis the Sove reignty and Independence nf Colum bia, and that they would not admit of anv that should deviate from this principle so often proclaimed by the government and the people of th* lie public."

XJkerokib Lands.^ It will be seen by the Proclamation of his Kxcel . lency fhe Governor, which appears in tb-day's paper, that (lie Lan^Js lately obtained by this State, by treaty from the Cherokfces, and the Iiroceeds of the sale of which our ast Legislature appropriated for the purposes of Internal Improvement, wfn be pnblicly sold at Waynesville, on the 14th of October next, -upon the easy terms therein stated. W e learn, from the Commissioners who superintended vthe surveying of said land and who laid it off in suita ble tracts for sale, that there are nearly 700,000 acres within the ac knowledged limits of this&tate, about 70,000 acres of which have beeit laid off in tracts of from 50 to 300 acres. Besides which 400 teres have l*een reserved for Coority Build ings, or a town, near the mouth of the Sugar Town, fork of the Tennes see Hivef, 14 miles from the Georgia line, at an old Indian town, called JVoficawie. The main public road now opening will pass through thi* resetted tract. The1 couutry is high and healthy } and the vallies are verv rich, and will form rooit desirable Farms, and as they will be sold cheap, will doubt-r less command llie attention of such us wish settlements in the w estern I country. It is the opinion of the Commis sioners who laid ofl' these lands, tliat the claim set up by Tennessee to a part of these lands is without foundation. august IB. *3 veir Judge. ? The Council of State, agreeable to appointment, met in this City on Monday last, to ad vise with liis Excellency the Gover nor on the appointment of a Judge, to supply the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Judge Murphey. We learn that the Governor and Council have concurred in the choice of Wil liam Norwood, Esq. of Orange. The late heavy Kains have done considerable damage iu some parts of the country to the crop of Indian Com on the low grounds. On the Little Yadkin River and its tributa ry streams, near the Pilot Mountain, we learn much mischief was done to the Mills; one belonging to Mr. Wm. Edwards, was entirely carried away. Agricultural prospects.? In a late excursion through several, of our western counties, we were much grat ified to behold almost in every part prospects of corn civps superior to what we have witnessed for a nunw Iter of years. Engagements for auy quantity of corn may be made at One Dollar per barrel at the stack, and such was the abundance of the wheat crop, th$t 40 cents per bushel could not be obtained in several counties. The Tobacco crops will be short? the destruction of the plants by the fly in the Spring, and the want of raio in the jiroper season to plant, together with the late freshet, will, it is conjectured, reduce the crop to one half the nsual quantity. x \ , ?' "? 1^' CHARLESTON, AUGUST 13.; r Execution. Yesterday, precise-; ly at one o'clock, William Hamcard was executed Just above the lines, pursuant to bis sentence, for the crime of highway robbery. From the period of his condemnation, he hue uniformly persistin his innocence of the .particular crime for which be finally suffered, while he as freely acknowledged the immorality of hi* life, and the 4>anefut effects of the crime of gambling. The night pre vious to the fatal day, while attends ed by some religious visitants, he appeared to feel gratified in unbosom ing himseif in answering their pious enquiries, and during thewhofeof their intercourse, his innocence, of the crime, and resignation to his fate, was his constant theme. Upon the fatal spot, , penitence appeared seated on his countenance, and ? he at last closed his earthly course, with for giving aU maukiufl, and a declara tion of his own acceptance. He was attended in his last moments by tlx1 Rev. Mr. Munds. The frequency f>f these melauchp* ly occurrences, we trust, will prove as wairitigs to the illiterate arid vile ; and may they consider^ that notwith standing the lenity of our laws, and the clemency of our Executive, the one must enforced, while justice to the community demands prece dence of the mercy of the other. august 17. Letters from Cheraw of recent date received in Georgetown, state that at least one half, of tbp Corn in the low grounds of the jPee Dee has been destroyed by a fresh ; and that the Cotton, it is expected, has aho received considerable injury. COLUMBIA, AUGUST 22. Health of Columbia. ? The citi zens of Columbia continue to enjoy uninterrupted good health.-? Hut two or three inhabitants of the place have died during the summer, and per haps as many strangers ; and at pres ent our physicians are the most idle Tuen in town. A letter from a correspondent in Camlnidge, freaks very favorably of the health of that place. The crops are remark nl>]y fine, particularly the Cotton ; and should it remain unin jured by the rut, will be inure pro ductive (ban for many years past. CAMDEN. THURSDAY, AUGUST ?4, 1&20. America and France. ? The mosl interesting feature, to us, of the late news from Europe, is the excitement produced in Fraoce by the passage '>f au act imposing new tonnage du ties ou French vessels. From, the friendly feeling of this counUy fo Krance, that act was passed reluc tantly, atid will be cheerfully sus pended according to the~ provision it contains authorizing that course, when the government of France shall thiuk fit to reciprocate with us the liberality of our commercial Regula tions. The measure seems to have produced there as much sensation as - if it had been unexpected. But what else could they have looked for? OTTIfMinister totbat country had been long enough entreating them to listen to reason, and long enough put off by evasive answers. The subjoined extract of a letter from him to the Secretary of State, communicated to Congress at the last session, shews the ground on which our law was passed, and, it is presumed,, in the end, France will not disdain to be as wise as England, and, by relax ation of her system, avail herself of* the opportunity, now offered to her, of placing herself in our ports on the fooliug of the most favored nations.

It also possesses a small portion of sulphate of iron and car * bonic acid gas as we have been in formed by a chemist, by whom the water has been partially analyzed* The water of course is eminently cal culated for the benefit of valetudina rians , labouring under diseases of debility. This will doubtless prove a valuable discovery to the citizens of this place, and . may ultimately render this as desirable a summer retreat as any hi the interior of the State. ?
