TH E GREEKS.

CONSTANTINOPLE, AUGUST 10.—In the course of last
month there were several engagements in the Morea, between
the Egyptians under Ibrahim Pacha, and the corps hastily
collected by Colocotroni, since he assumed the command ; all
which, according to all the reports received here, and to the
confession of the Greek Journals themselves, were in favour of
the Egyptians. The most considerable of these actions took
place on the 4th of July, at Tricopha, where Colocotroni had
assembled all the troops he could command, stated in his report
at 9,000 men, to give another battle to Ibrahim, before he was
joined by the reinforcement landed by Hussein Bey, at Na-
variflo. The issue was disastrous to the insurgents, who were
defeated and dispersed with great loss, which is estimated at
above 1,000 killed, and 150 prisoners, among whom are five
Capitani. Colocotroni himself, in his report to the War Mi-
nister, mentions two Generals, Pappazzoni and Panaguly, and
eleven other officers of distinction who were killed on the spot
.that day, and confesses that the action, which he describes as
a pitched battle ended with the general flight of the troops, whose
defeat is attributed chiefly to the cowardice of the Corinthians
and the Calavritans.

The scattered corps of the insurgents rallied indeed, some
days after, partly at Karitene, partly at Vervena, but were
again attacked and defeated on the 14th July by the Egyp-
tians, who pursued them ; and in an action which took place on
the 20th July, but respecting which we have no details, Deme-
trius Ypsilanti is said to have been wounded in the breast by
a musket ball, and to have been taken prisoner; and it is add-
ed, that notwithstanding every assistance was given him by
Ibrahim Pacha's order, he died soon after.
Accounts just received from Smyrna say, that Ibrahim, after
having been joined by the troops landed at Navarino, with a
train of heavy artillery, had marched to Argos, while detach-
ment!. from his army scoured the Peloponnesus in every direc-
tion, to hinder the insurgents from collecting and fortifying
themselves any where. The captain of a ship, which sailed
27th July for Napoli di Romania, affirms that on that day the
Egyptian van-guard hail again appeared near the Mills. All
the reports and private letters from Smyrna confirm this.
Part of the Greek squadron, which is said to consist of 36
•brigs and six fire-ships,!sailed on the 18th and 21st ofJuly from
Hydra and Spezzia to the lonian seas to attack the fleet of the
Capitan Pacha, and convey succours to Illissolonghi, which was
closely pressed, and according to a report just spread here was
already going to surrender, had not the commanders of the
garrison, fearing the fate that awaited them (the Turks, it is
said, having required them to surrender at discretion), opposed
the conclusion of the capitulation, which was eagerly desired
by the inhabitants.
The greater part of the Egyptian fleet, after landing the Alba-
nians at Navarino returned to Alexandria to fetch 10,000 fresh
troops and 2000 horses. On the 23d July Admiral de Rigny went
to the Island of Syra. He summoned the Eparch, who, in the
tumultuous scenes of 10th, llth, and 12th July, had ill treated
the French Consul, to come on board his frigate, and on his re-
fusal, landed some men who fetched him. This being done,
and the Consul formally reinstated in his office, the admiral left
the roads, steering westwards ; it is thought he will take the
Eparch to Hydra, or to Napoli di Romania, and insist on his
being punished in an exemplary manner for the insults offered
to the French Government. A mutiny broke out on the 14th
of July, among the Janissaries, who refused to give up to the
Governor Omer Vrione a house which he required, instead of
his residence, which had been burnt down. By the severity
and firmness of that Pacha, the mutiny was suppressed, and
had no farther results. In No. 130 of the Friends of Me
Laws of July 11, we find Colocotroni's account of the battle
of the sth of July. Though he acknowledges the defeat
of his army in this battle, which lasted, he says, from
seven o'clock till noon, and gives the names of two Gene-
rals and eleven superior Officers killed, the Greeks, lie adds,
had thirty killed, whereas the enemy had six hundred killed,
among whom are several Officers of distinction. There is also
a long► letter from Colocotroni and Londo to the Bey of Maina
and the Mainotes, in which lie upbraids them for not replying
to the many letters that have been sent to them, and for their
apathy in the present critical situation of the Peloponnesus.
They are desired to remember .that if the rest of the Morca is
subdued it will then be their turn.

The loss of the battle at Tricopha is again ascribed to the
negligence and disorderly.conduct of the Greeks. However,
as the enemy lost 600 men, and the Greeks only 30, and 4,000
are again assembled at Karitene, which it is hoped will be in-
creased in a few day ; to 10,000, and there are 9,000 men at
Yervena, they still hope to surround the enemy. The aid of
Sparta is now wanting.
