CANDIA.
(From the Manzari Shark.)
Our advices from this country have reached us by the
French steamer Minos up to the 3d inst. only. -At that
date it will be perceived that the insurrection was not
quelled, although the whole of the district of Apocorona
had submitted. At Sfakia other bodies of Mainotes
had arrived, consequently giving cause to assume that
more fighting would take• place before tranquillity was
folly restored. Things, however, were in a favourable
train for arrangement. •
The following is an extract from our correspondence
CANEA, JULY 3.—We have news that a severe skir-
Zalt took place on the Bth inst. in the district of Pe•
in the province of Candia, between the Turks
u Greeks, which lasted several hours. The _areas
uhimately obliged to abandotthar position, -and
ititaur tof them succeeded in gaining the mountains. All
tut S of excesses, not only upon those that were armed,
thisai 8° on the unarmed inhabitants of the villages in
~ivelitlistriet, were unfortunately committed, which has
rise to the enclosed proclamation. Much credit is
