There are some very contradictory accounts from Constanti- zople. According
to one version of the design of the Sultan, he intends to attack the Egyptians in Syria, without delay, being en- couraged in the attempt to regain the ceded provinces by Russic. : according to another, the Russian envoy has assured him that the treaty between his master and the Porte was a merely defensive one, and that no assistance of any sort would be given to an attack on Dittman' ALL It is probable that all these warlike projects sprung into being from a false report of the defeat and death of IBRAHIM PACHA, which reached Constantinople in the beginning of last month ; the fact being, that IBRAHIM had succeeded in completely suppressing the insurrection in Syria.
