There are various reports in the Paris papers respecting Ali Pacha: one rumor states that he had been assassinated, whilst, according to another story, he had found the means of raising an army of 120,000 men, with which he intended to carry the war into the interior of the Turkish Empire. According to other accounts, by the way of Venice, Ali had no more than from 18 to 20,000 men, on whom he could depend, and with these he had to meet his determined enemy the Pacha of Scutari, who had 25,000. It is, however, added, that should he succeed in beating the latter, he may set at defiance all the troops sent against him from Constantinople.
