THE GREEKS AND TUaliq.

Nirssor.omont, Jumr 7.—The latest numbers
of the Greek Chronicle which we have received
ure up to this date. The following are extracts:
u xt: 30 . —The Turks of the Euripus (Negropont) lately
left their fortress to come on the Continent. They had already
advanced as far as the boundaries of Attica, on their way to
Athens, when the Greeks observing their motions surrounded
them, and made prisoners of nearly 490. A great number
was killed.

JirLY 3.—A report of Commandant Salaam, dated the
211th Jane, and addressed to the Director-General Mauracer-
dato, contains the following :—" The Commander-in-Chief of
Romelia has just sent to Lianoelade, under escort of a body of
troops commanded by a hey of Larissa, munitions of war
destined for the campaign. On the first night after their arrival,
a thunderbolt Ml on the castle where they were tleposited,
wh:ch, together with 130 men, the hey, and all the munhions,
was blown up.
7.—Later accounts say, that the number of Turks
blown up by the said fall of the thunder-bolt, amounted to up-
wards of 400.

Tun5TE, Auo. 12.—News from Constantinople to Nth
July say, that the bay of Ipsara resembled a sea of fire. The
number of Turks said to have perished on the island Is reported
at 8,000. The Mussulmans are greatly irritated against the
Franks for having given an exaggerated account of the conquest
of Ipsara. The ►:tf'air is likely to cost the Captain Paha his
head.

EXTUACT OP A LevrEtt mist SAMNA, DATP:D JITLY 17.
" YOU will no doubt hive heard of the success of the Turkish
squadron at 'Nara, which would probably ?cite; you last post,
as a Tartar had got up very quickly to Constantinople. The
news was not then exactly believed; it Is, however, confirmed, and
we have tinily troops returning with much booty, but few or no
slaves; it has been a very sanguinary battle, nearly. the whole
of the ipsuriote having been cut up, with a great many women,
some of whom fought bravely. The Albanian troops (about
2000) iu the service of the Greeks went over to the Turks, but
they got no quarter, and were cut up to a man. The
principal part of the business was over in three hours; but a
few Greeks got into a Monastery, and held out neatly two days,
when the Turks made a breach ; they then found it Was of no
use holding out any longer, and immediately set fire to the
powder magazine, and blew themselves up, with about 400
Turks that were on the spot. Several of the Greek vessels
escaped, with numbers of women and children on board, anti
got to the Morca. It is now reported that about 70 of the
• Greek fleet have again refitted, and coins out with a determi-
nation of attacking the- Turkish fleet on their approach to
Samos, 'Which is to be the next island they attack. This will
also be a very sanguinary business, as Turkish troops have-
crowded in from all quarters, principally passing by this place
to assemble at Scalanuova, supposed to the amount of nearly
too,ooo. The loss of the Turks at Ipsara is calculated at about
1200, and nearly 2000 wounded. The Greeks have now be.
come desperate, and it is said are in Nigh spirits in the Morea,

waiting the arrival of the fleet of Mchmet Ali Pasha of Egypt,
which it appears is to:attack them with a large force of dis.
ciplined troops. Every thing perfectly tranquil here."
AMSTERDAM, At; o. 2fl.—According to the accounts whicl,
we have: received from Smyrna and Constantinople, and also by
way of Italy, no doubt remains of the truth of the news com-
municated through us of the destruction of all the Turks who
had landed at Ipeara.

It appears from the reports, that the blowing up of the fort
of vSt. Nicol° destroyed most of the. Turks who were about
the fort ; that the Greek fleet, of 04 sail, sent by the Govern-
ment from Newli di Romania to the aid_ of Ipsara, attacked
the Turkish fleet, and it is positively stated the result was, that
ori gun-boats, eight sloops, a corvette, and three frigates, were
taken or burnt, or otherwise destroyed; that the Commander
of the Turkish fleet, favoured--by the wind, fled to hlltylene ;
that on the subsegtieut landing of the Greeks at Ipsara, allothe
Turkish garrison was put to the sword; so that the Greeks re-
mained In posssession of the island.
The Greek fleet then sailed in search of the C4ipitan _Pacha.
It is further said that the Greeks had landed on the Isle of
Chios, and that all the Turks in the vill ge of Wollina were
killed. The bravery of the heroes of Ipsara is unparalleled.;
even the women took part in the combat, with the same cool-
ness and bravery. The number of Turks who perished Is esti-
mated at 2:1,000. Accounts are Impatiently expected of a
second meeting with the remainder of the Turkish fleet, which,
it is not doubted, will be to the advantage of the Greeks. The
ardour with which they are inspired is a sure presage to
victory.

' We learn from Coda chat the report which had been circu-
lated that the captain racha would go from Ipsara to attack
Samos, was a mere feint to deceive. the weeks. The Turks,
proud of their temporgy success, had conceived a bolder plan,
that of attempting the conquest of the important island of
Hydra, which is du: centre of all the naval force of the Greeks.
however, the Capitan Pacha being aware of the important
means of defence which secures Hydra from a coup da cloth., and
knowing that the troops which compose the garrision are all
natives, has shewn much hesitation-in his conduct; for, at the
departure of the last courier, who brought dispatches to the
English Vovernnaent in the lonian Islands, the Ottoman Ad.
miral was still off Mitylene, where he expected the Egyptian
squadron which was to leave Candia to jinn him. The Turks
having massacred the traitors who delivered up to them the post
which was confided to them in the Isle of Ipsara, will be a
great obstacle to the success of the attempts which-the agents of
the Cupitan Pacha may make to corrupt the Albanian Chiefs in
the other Islands of the Archipelago.
