TRIESTE, Ava. 13.

Accounts from Missolonghi, Hydra, Smyrna, Corfu and
Ithaca, all agree in confirming the delivery of Ipsara by the
main Greek fleet united with the Ipsariots. All the Turks who
were in the island were put to the sword, and the Capitan
after having had three of his frigates burnt, and 70 smaller yes.
sale taken, fled to Illitylene.
From the Greek Telegraph of the 27th of July, published at
Alissolonglii, we learn that, Te Deans had been celebrated there
on account of the recapture of Can°, on which occasion nearly
2,000 Turks'perished. It also relates that the Ipsariots, after
the taking of their island, endeavoured to defend three fortified
points, viz.--St. Nicelo, the Devil's Battery, and Anti-Ipsara ;
and employed the Turks some days till the Hydriots and Spez.
ziots arrived. The Turks had directed their attention princi-
pally to St. Nicolo, believing that they should find there the
relics of the Ipsariots, with their wives and children, most of
whom had been put away. But the heroic hlaroaki, nephew
of the famous li's3rooki of Sttjansok, blew it up with himself
and his Spartan comrades, by which nearly 4,000 Turks were
killed. After this misfortune confusion spread in the fleet, and
the Capitan Pacha retreated from the island with part of his
ships, which the besieged perceived, and made sallies till at last
-assistance arrived.

• According to accounts of the 20th of July from Smyrna, great
consternation prevailed in that city, and little credit was at.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Ju LY 211.
The Greeks are again masters of Ipsara, and all the Turks
in the island (some state them at 8,000) were put to the sword.
The .014itive Ipaariots had joined at Syra the Ilydriots anti
spozzints, and victoriously executed this bold enterprise. They
took-on this occasion about 00 vessels, and burnt others. In
the night of the 10th of July the roads of Ipsara resembled an
ocean of fire. The sensation caused here by this news is not
to be described. The Turks are highly incensed against the
Greeks, who had so exaggerated the first accounts of the taking
of
head.tfili::iari. This affair may very likely cost the Capitkin Paella

'-iice-7,s;oiyrnenti of the 17th of July gives a very long account
of the tallng of Ipsara by the Turkish fleet of 200 sail, which
agrees on the whole, with those first received by different chan-
nels. The garrison of St. Nicolo, having taken down the
Ipsariot colours, hoisted a white flag, on winch which were the
words " Liberty or Death !" the explosion instantly succeeded,
which swept away Ipsariots and Turks in one common de.
struction, shook the island to its foundation, and convulsed the
sea for miles around. The Ipsitriots, taken up from various
points by English, French, and Austrian ships, say they were
betrayed by the Albanians, or rather by the Commander of
those troops, named Cotta, a man of bad character and a Greek'
renegado, ho since the Greek revolution, had returned to
Christianity. Suspicions had been excited against him, and an
investigation was made; but as nothing could be proved against
him, he was placed at a part of the island which was deemed
inaccessible, and here it was that 3,000 Turks landed.
The Smyrnean says" the Capitan Pacha would remain at
Illitylepe till the Curbam Bairam, that is in about a month.
—Forty thousand troops were assembled at Scala Nova, the
Turks being attracted from all points of Asia Minor by the
hope of plunder.
The Capitan Pacha gave the most distinguished reception be-
fore Ipsara to the Commander of the French squadron, N.
Dronalt, who, in a long conference, was convinced that the
Admiral was animated with the most generous sentiments to-
wards the vanquished. Two days after this visit, the Capitan
Pacha, on the proposal of N. Villeneuve, a French officer, sent
one of his chief officers on shore to induce the Turks to offer
a capitulation to the Greeks in Fort St. Nicol°, but in vain ;
the Incensed Mussulmen breathed only vengeance. It is affirmed
that the Capitan Pacha deeply regretted that he could not save
the lives of this handful of brave men. He 'receives in the
most gracious manner all the European commanders and offi.
cers who wait on him.

The Greek Chronicle of the 7th July gives the following in.
stance of activity and gratitude on the part of the Greeks:—
" The Island of Zecalantisma, in the Gulf of Missolonghi,
presents a very advantageous military position. The enemy
might have taken possession of it to favour his attack on Mis.
colon hi and Anatolicon. A fort which has been constructed
on Cape Procopaniston now, renders that island impreg.
.nablc. On the 28th of June it received the name of Fort
Byron, in honour of Lord Byron, and it is considered at -once
As the beacon and bulwark of Western Oreeee. Measures
have also been taken to place in a state of defence another po-
sition, which presents advantages of a totally different nature.
It is a mountain called Apoclistra, which is situated in the
high -lands of Etolia, not far from Carpenisi. Its summit
displays varied and fertile hillocks and plains, whilst Its steep
sides, inaccessible in all directions, render it a kind of island
in the midst of surrounding lands. It has but one line of
approach, winding amidst rocks, which three men would bet
concentrate their forces
sufficient to defend. A ruined fortification, which commands tha

in it a safe
asylum to repair their losses, without any danger of a general
attack, or even of a coup-de-main."
A letter from Odessa says, that the only trophy remaining in
the hands of the Turks, since the taking of Ipsara, is an old
woman, upwards of fifty-five years of age, and three others
somewhat younger* who are to he taken to Smyrna and sold
there for the benefit of the Capitan Nam.
