ALTHOUGH a Pardon was formally promised to the Pacha of Iconia, who had lately revolted against the Sublime Porte, on Condition that he retired with his Adherents to Chio, on the Frontiers of Persia, it is said that secret Orders have been sent to all the Governors of the Places through which this rebellious Subject must pass, to watch him carefully, and to deliver him here, dead or alive; but that this crafty Pacha, having got Scent of the Snares intended for him, kept so well on his Guard, that he beat and dispersed Several Corps of Troops which offered to hit him.
It is added, that since that Time several Emissaries have been sent from hence, who, under Pretence of entering into his Service, were to seize the opportunity of dispatching him; but his Vigilance has rendered all these Projects unsuccessful, and enabled him to secure those emissaries and execute them. In the mean time, we are assured that this Pacha is now with his Corps of Rebels in the Neighbourhood of Erzerum, where he has chosen a very advantageous Camp, from whence it will be nearly impossible to force him.
