GERMAAk PAPERS.
nA01,5•• MAY 7.
The Captains of vessels coming from the lonian Wands, bring
unfavourable news for the Porte respecting the mott recent occur-
rences in the Mores.
One Captain, who sailed from Corfu on the 27th of April. and
arrived here or. the 31 of Slay, stated, that the Turks limn Alex-
andria, who had been landed at Motion, had been since defeated,
and only a small portion had been able to save themselves on board
the *lips at anchor, the others having fallen victims to the fury of
the Greeks. Some persons infer from this statement, that it refers
to an Egyptian division lately landed, and by, nn connection
with the second account of a ('aptain who sailed from Cephalonia on
the 28th of April, and arrived hereon the 3th of May, in the even.
ing ; this latter having woken of eventsnear Navarino, which have
been long known, and seem to have taken place earlier than those'
mentioned by the other Captains. The Captain from Cephalonia
said, " That on the Bth of April the Twits had made another at.
tempt to take Navarino by storm and had sufierenta total defeat;"
to which the Captain had laconically added, " Per querns Volta,
lianno acquiestato i Tiurchi, di Orechi la patente d'impotenza."
News has been received front Scutari, that the Dscheleden Bey,
nephew of the Pacha, with 6000 men, was advancing against Sits-
solonghi.—Allesielse Zeiewne, lifey 23.
THE ITALIA' REFUGEES.
The expatriated Italians, who have been driven by poli-
tical events to take refuge in this country, where they have
enjoyed a scanty and precarious subsistence, derived from
the public bounty, are now desirous of rescuing themselves
from this miserable and degrading tituation, by eurobing
themselves under the banners of the Greeks. The follow-
ing is the petition presented by these unfortunate persons
to the Committee who have managed the subscription in
their favour :
" The great generosity displs_yed by the English nation towards
the unhappy victims of the political yicinsituclen of Italy, has im-
pressed on our hearts images of eternal gratitude. We therefore
beg permission to present our grateful thanks to the Committee of
the English nation for their liberality towards us. Our gratitude
anti thanks are all *e possess as an offering, and we present them
from the bottom of our hearth.
" The cense of Greece now preventing itself an a weans of re-
lieving the English from the burthen we hate unhappily been to
them, we crave permission to entreat the Committee wiil assist us
in proceeding to Greer& to tight in their glorious cause, where we
shall feel ourselves devotedly happy in offering ourselves as humble
instruments to their desired happiness. If we be so fortunate an to
be happy in this supplicAhin, ste presume to say the Committee
will have to bless themselves for their magnanimity, as we shall
to Wass them for the change of state which they will have
effected in our existence."
(Then follow the Slgnitures.)
