TURKEY AND GREECE.

Tinos, JULY -8.--Notwithstanding the formal
intentions which the Turks had manifested, to
attempt, when the fine season should arrive, some
important enterprises in the Archipelago, no
event of any importance has marked the appear-
ance of their fleet in these seas. The following
are the most remarkable circumstances.
The Porte had assembled, at a great e'xpence,
an army at Scala Nova, opposite Samos, toattack
and reduce that island, the situation of which
makes it important. This army has been .beaten
and dispersed by a handful of Saminns. While
Mussalmen, waiting for their fleet, threatened to
make of Samos another Selo, those brave islanders
landed one night on the coast of Asia, to the
number of.about 2,000 men. Favoured by the
darkness, they approached the enemy's camp, and
put the Turks completely to the route. A sin-
gular stratagem which they employed did not a
little contribute to spread confusion in the camp:
at the moment of this unexpected attack, thirty
men, placed on an eminence, and provided with
speaking-trumpets, cried, with all their might,
" Heaven confounds in its anger the monsters
who thirst for Christian blood." Awakened in
the middle of the night by the sound of an in-
strument almost unknown to the Asiatic Turks,
and brisklyattacked, the Mussulmen were seized,
with such terror that they fled in all directions,
abandoning their camp to the discretion of the
enemy. _ _

The Capitan Parini, who was previously salt]
to intend to attack Samos, did not even approach
that island. He has only taken about 8,000 Asia-
tics on board his fleet, and passed through the
Archipelago with great precipftation. The
eagerness with which the• Asiatic Turks have of-
fered themselves to go and combat in Europe
against the Greeks, excited the attention of the
Ipsariots. They landed 8,000 troops, which at-
tacked all the towns on the coast, from Cape
Baba,to the environs of Smyrna, that the Turks
may not again think of leaving their own homes.
Among the very numerous prisoners whom they
took onboard their squadron, are several families
of distinction, whose relations already offer large
sums for their ransom.

ODESSA, JULY 27.—According to the last
news from Constantinople, nothing interesting
had passed there since the fire which we have al-
ready spoken of. It is said that, during the
disaster, tranquillity was preserved as far as is
possible in such circumstances.

Accounts from the neighbourhood of Smyrna
state, that great alarm prevailed there., because
the Greeks threatened a landing. It was hoped,
however, that the arrival of Ibrahim Pacha from
Bujukdere, would make the Greeks desist from
their daring enterprize.
