Ali Pacha of Joannina, on a visit to the sea side, had a conference with Sir Thos. Maitland, Gov. of Malta and the Ionian Isles, to whom he gave a dinner. In the suit of Sir Thomas, was his sister-in law, Lady Lauderdale, and other ladies, who had the curiosity, or perhaps one might say, the courage, to be present. Ali seized a roasted lamb, and tearing off with his fingers the fat bits, attempted to thrust them into Lady Lauderdale's mouth, at the same time giving a great laugh. This is accounted in the East, a great compliment. It is as if a European Prince should help a guest with his own hands.
