No. 114, of the 16th of May, states, that the garrison of Old
Navarin, after a fruitless attempt to cut their way through the
enemy, in which Hadschi Christo, the Archbishop of Modon,
and the son of the Bey of Maina, were take* prisoners, had
been obliged to capitulate to the number of 1,001) men.

No. 115, of the 20th, gives an account of the naval victory of
12th May, and makes the loss of the enemy amount to twenty
ships, viz. a two-decker, two frigates, two corvettes, the others
brigs, and a few transports. This account mentions, that it
seeems that the fire communicated to the town, amd that several
explosions were heard, whence it is inferred that the powder
magazine in Motion was blown up.

The Austrian Observer remarks in a note, that though it is
now known from Major Bandeiroe'report that Modon suirered
no injury, the Greek narrator cannot be blamed for what he
says, since we know that Colonel Rottiers, who saw the begin-
ning of the action, found similar conjectures.

No. 116 of the Friend of the Laws, of the 23d May, relates
the sudden eruption of a body of Turks of 2,500 foot and 500
horse, who attacked Putatico and Peute Ornea, and over-
powered the 400 Greeks stationed there, of whom 200 fell,
after killing 600 of the enemy. A panic seized the inhabitants
of Salons, which the Turks occupied after the people had
fled to Lutraki, with Commissioners of Government from
Falters Greece. The military-stores and provisions, which
were the chief object of the Turks, were saved, and the Com-
mission of Government having sent ships to fetch from Vos.

litza 3,500 Epirots (who it seems should have been on the spot
before), it was hoped that their arrival would encourage the
remaining troops, and the enemy would have reason to repent
this rash incursion, to which they were induced by the hope of
finding plenty of provisions.

THE LORD CHANCELLOR.—The daily attacks
upon this venerable Pillar of the Constitution in
Church and State, are too low and malignant to
excite any thing but disgust and indignation
against the rancour of the anonymous defamer,
who can feel gratification in thus giving vent to
his constant effusions of vulgar spite. They can
never be authorized by any person of a respect-
able station in life, and the scurrilous assassin of
character by this persevering hostility, shews
that he is as destitute of taste as of common de-
cency. This is really a lamentable abuse of the
glorious privilege of Public Press.

had repaired, knowing that the enemy wu.eld attack this island:
On this day the enemy's large ships remained out of the gulf to
keep offour fleet, but 4fi others, including 5 frigates, 4 corvettes,
entered and placed themselves between the Island and the Con-
tinent, keeping up a constant fire on the island, while 3 frigates
guarded the entrance of the harbour to hinder our ships from
ailing out. The enemy began the attack on the land side,
where the weakest of the 3 batteries were placed.
About 11, A.M., 50 armed boats attacked the island while
they were repulsed with great loss on the side where Captain
A. Tsamados was stationed with Colonel Stauro Sachini ;
they overpowered our men on the other side, so that
Tsamados was placed between the two fires. Sachini rush-
ed, sword in hand, into the midst of the enemy, and disap.
peared. Our ships could not attack because most of our sailrs
had landed to defend the island : many fell heroically, and
many were wounded. When the enemy were really masters of
the island, the remaining sailors went on board the ships, took
the wounded and soldiers with them, and escaped through the
midst of the enemy's fleet. Only the ship of Tsanandos
stopped to take on board its brave Captain, who was wounded ;
but he could not reach the ship, and was either killed or made
prisoner.—Maurocordato, after losing all his people, was saved
on board this ship, which, with incredible heroism, fought its
way, and had to contend for five hours with 35 ships of the
enemy ; yet it had but two men killed and six wounded. One
of the enemy's schooners was burnt, and a brig sunk.—
We do not know whether Constantine Zafiropoulo (brother of
Gen.lPenajoli Zapiropoulo who was taken prisoner 9th A pril)was
killed or only taken prisoner. Count Santa Casa, a warm friend
to the Greeks, and an able engineer, fell in the engagement.—
During the battle on the island, the enemy's infantry and ca.
'airy made a desperate attack by land on Old Navarin, but
were repulsed with loss.
