NI is stated that on the 26th ult a number of large boats,
staining about 300 armed Greeks, mostly Candiot Capitani,
Areared on the south coast of the island of Candia, and
:4.led an intention of landing. Intelligence of this having
eked Canea, the Governor called the Foreign Consuls,
ekosec!isulted with them as to what was best to be done under
ahti'._ circumstances. It was dec,cled that a deputation, coo-
,go,gg of some of the Consuls themselves and others, should
'° demand of the invaders what they wanted, and then in-
heathern to withdraw. It is thought they are a branch of the
ap:rthodox Society, which seems to be spreading so rapidly
11%,.,4R the Greek nation, and that illegal combination cannot
tat down too quickly. We are happy to say that an expe-
Nn, consisting of about 2,000 Ottoman troops, left this

tetbi°lsrl succeed in purging that beautiful island of the last
