selve to expence •to realize the most absurd of
chimeras,* to attempt the impossible ? In these
circumstances, and the course of these events, the
consequences of which might have been a hundred
times more deplorable if foreign war had broken
out, we may say that to the wat advantage of
the East, of Europe, and of Greece itself, among
other powers Austria has given a proof of the
high wisdom which characterises her. In the
question before us, it seems to us that the wish
which a sensible and feeling man may reasonably
entertain, is that we should conciliate what we
owe to the sacred safety of the people, with the
no less sacred rights for which humanity pleads,
and this is precisely the extraordinarily curious
and interesting problem which the high Courts
of Europe have never ceased.labouring to solve,
and that they are probably on the point of resolv-
ing definitively to the general satisfaction.±
We have news from Salon chi. They had
heard in that town of the entrance of the Turks
into the Morea. It was at Napoli di Romania that
the Ottoman squadron went to receive the Capi-
tan Pacha, lately named by the Porte. Ile was
in that town on his nomination. It is in this
Peninsula that matters will be decided, and
the naval forces, co-operating with the land forces,
will not be long in bringing about a decisive
result,

The last vessels arrived in the port of Smyrna
met no where in the Archipelago the Greek
flotilla. An European Captain was visited in the
waters of Cerigo by a single Insurgent brig car-
rying no flag. The Insurgents keep themselves
at present shut up in their ports of Ipsara,
Spezzia, and Hydra, to observe the movements
of the Turks, and determine themselves in conse-
quence. Do they believe themselves free from
all danger under their batteries? Will they de-
fend themselves ? Will they submit ? Time
will resolve these questions ; for in this respect
we can calculate nothing agreeably to the rules
of sound logic or common sense. t.--(Journal des

HYDRA, AUG. 23.—Fourteen or fifteen thou-
sand Turks penetrated into the Peloponnesus.—
Some reinforcements from Patras and _Lepanto
had increased their number to 20,000 men. Of
all these only 5 or 6,000 have escaped from the
Peninsula. Retiring towards the isthmus, they
demanded from the Greeks a free passage by Li-
vadia and 'Thermopylae to retir(s! to Larissa.—
This was refused, and their lives offered them if
they would surrender prisoners of war. The
urks hoping to obtain some better conditions,
still keep up the communication with the
Greeks. These misfortunes will undoubtedly
teach the Mussulmen not to enter a second time
imprudently in the Peloponnesus.
The Turks of Napoli di Romania had capi-
tulated before the arrival of this army ; and they
were waiting for neutral vessels on board of
which they were to be transported to Asia ; but
at the approach of their brethren they shut up
the gates and cut off all communication with the
Greeks. The latter, however, have 40 of the
principal persons of the town and the son of the
Paella of the fortress in their hands as hostages.
Besides they occupy three sides of Napoli,which
is situated on the sea. When the Greeks per-
ceived the bad faith of the Turks, they discon-
tinued supplying them with provisions. After
nine days resistance, the Turks were forced to
recognise their capitulation. The Senate suc-
ceeded in appeasing the indignation of the people,
irritated at this perfidy of the Mussulmen, and
