VIENNA, May 24.
The intelligence received here by the last post, that in the neighborhood of Sylona a Turkish prince had risen against the Grand Seignior, is confirmed from every quarter. The fact is related in the last accounts. The prince had joined the rebel Pasha of Widden, Paswan Oglou, with a corps of 16,000 men, conjointly with whom he is said to have taken the towns of Adrianople, Sophia, Philopopo. On that occasion, several severe engagements were against the Seignior's forces. The grand Seignior, under the promise of great rewards, has ordered the Pasha of Belgrade, and others, to march with all their forces against the rebels, and to make themselves masters of their persons. Our expectation is raised to see in what manner the Porte will extricate itself from this critical situation, the more so, as it is said the two rebels act under the influence of some foreign power.
