According to the lad amounts froth Corfu, there
has arrived off that Island an English squadron,
consisting of 26 large and'small ships. It is pro-
bable that this squadron was intended to make an
attack on that Island, but the English finding it
was well defended, sailed away, only leaving a 11w
ships to wake observations. •
Private letters from the fonina Isles state, that
the inhabitants of the small Island of flvtlith,

the English have taken not less thusa.lifty of their
merchant vessels, and carried theta ijintolialta.. -
It is not true that the Ete;lish bare taken posr
tension of Tine or Andros, (ithinda of the Archi-
pelago). We have no news directly front the other
Islands: we only know thatterrot awl desolation
reign there, and that the inhabitants, abandoned to
theer•feeble means of defence, have not dived to
refuse provisions to the English squadrons. The
whole Archipelago suffers guestscarcity of all ne-
cessaries, and fears a famine.

The island of 'reuedos, successively occupied by
the Turks, Russians, and English, is abrelutely ex-
hausted, and has been deserted by the greater part
