Ali I aclia of Jauma, who taken
upon himself (be title of -Kins of
l?pirus, the sublime Porte 1ms to
contend against Mime other pachas
1 tv ho are 1101 less amt>itious. 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. '
Tlie. Weciiabites are again In mo
tion and have recommenced the wav.
.They are it is said still stronger than
before, and have begun hostilities by
pillaging a great Turkish Caravan;
which wan under an escort ,
Heveral pachas in the neighbor-'
hood have already received order*
from tlie Grand Seigtior to move with
strong detachments audio go to eery
tain places, pointed out to them.
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^
Pacbuof Anatolia Was to have been
Required to pass the Bosphorus with
a considerable army and to encamp
in the enf irons of this capital* The
Gther pachas who have also Received
more precise orders have already
without - doubt set out on their match;;
but the grand army is expected in,
the environs tif Phllipopolis, where
the different bodies are - to Uinite. ?
During these preparations and these
formidable movements the cavalry is
beginning 16 assemble *and form un
der the commander general Spahilar
Agasy^>'::."'' p. " ?'*
The following wiH be nearly the
fearchand order of the battle of the
Turkish armies who are to take the
Add against the rebellious Pacha**.
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.!
Hop hi Rase- hi terminates the march
the artillery, together with Shebescis
with the ammunition. /The infantry
of the provinces serve to escort the
wagons which contain provisions, &c.
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."

HATXIGH, AUGUST 11.
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.

*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.

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.

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.
