conlinunications cut off, or his supplies inter-
cd!Pled by the Greek scouts. Indeed the immo-
late ca
Pture of Napoli was essential to his
vtery e
xistence, for without possession of that for-
'sess }l's defeat, if not his total destruction,
teemed inevitable, when opposed to an
°Nye, united, and determined foe. It is true
tltir accounts this day contain rumours of bat-
tles and reports of defeats, but they are
es,t,:ing more than the conflicts of the skir-
Llling Parties of the two armies, and' the
;Ple and unavoidable effects of the pre-
ottlce of foes as natural as the effervescing
of and
acids. These accounts also speak
conferences between the different leaders.—
(4130 appears that the SERASKIER, now and for
1:g Virile previously before Missolonghi, has
receivedi orders to effect. a junction with the
lekgYetia° forces in the Morea, but he, neverthe-
sh-103 determined not to move until that fortress
all
surrender to him. The report that the
Greek fleet had compelled the Turkish fleet
raise the blockade by ben, and had vic-
b4lleci
le town for a year, is not spoken of,
vilt its otter incompatibility with the news
f:isirthis day publish would seem at once to
b. a'''. the whole. General GounA. is occu-
;hele`!` by defending the Isthmus of Corinth, on
little side, and appears to take but vey
I) tie i?art in aiding the town, or annoying. the.
tl'Narmy. The fall of this fortress is still
refore do_
ty expected.
