ZANTE, AUG. 2.—The most complete success
has just crowned all the enterprizes, civil and military, of the
Greek Government. The imprudent faction which has dis.
turbed the nation more than a year, and impeded the march of
Government, is annihilated. After exhausting mild methods,
the Executive Council had recourse to force, and succeeded,
though the adversaries of Government had represented it as
•feeble, in taking from this party the impregnable Acrocorinth,
Tripolitza, and several other strong places. Napoli di Romani
was also soon given up to it, and the moderation with which
it used its victory conciliated even its subdued adversaries.—
The long delay in paying the loan contracted for at London

threatened Greece for a moment with a total want of the funds
necessary for military operations, which would have left the
nation exposed without the means of defence to the enemy.—
The Government, however, found extraordinary resources at
this critical period, and succeeded in fitting out two fleets
the first, sent to Candle, chased away the Egyptian fleet, and
recaptured Caso, and destroyed all the Turkish troops in that
island. The other fleet, by its brilliant success, repaired the
disasters of Ipsara, and madd the Turks pay very dear for their
ephemeral advantage. Four Turkish ships of war, and about
GO transports and boats destroyed, was the result of the action
of April the 7th, between Ipsara, Mitylene, and Scio. Later
news informs us that another engagement took place at the end
of July, between Mitylene and Smyrna, when the Turkish
fleet was defeated a second time, with greater loss than the first,
and obliged to seek shelter at Smyrna. The famous Caner's,
who blew up two Turkish Admirals in 1822, particularly dis-
tinguished himself in this battle ; and never did the Greeks
obtain a more decisive or brilliant success. The news from
the Continent of Greece also is favourable to the Greeks. In
the month of June several corps of illusselnumS placed by
Dervish Pacl►a in Thessaly, were attacked and defeated by the
Greeks. In spite of these defeats the Seraskier of Romelia
collected a considerable force, and endeavoured in the middle
of .July, to penetrate into Livadia. The Greeks met him near
Suradena, and ?bated him completely, making a great carnege.
The provisions, guns, and ammunition, of the Generalissimo of
the Porte fell into the handsoof the Greeks, and Dervish Pacha
repassed the Sperchius with the wreck of his army. The loan
is at length concluded, and all the money which has arrived at
Zante, been paid to the Greek Government. This is an advan-
tage, and will give new strength to the nation and to military
operations. The news relative to the Egyptian expedition is
contradictory. Some letters say the Viceroy has not given 111)
his expedition, but only postponed it till the end of Augnst.—
. Other letters say this skilful satrap •amuses the Porte, but he
has neither the means► nor the will to undertake such en expedi-
tion. The late success of the Greeks will undoubtedly have an
influence on his determination.

emir u, AUG. 11.—All Greece resounds with praise of the
brave Ipssriots. More than 5,000 Osmanlis have perished at
Ipsara, and this island is again in the power of its inhabitants.
Tile Turks had not time to carry off a single gun. The whole
loss of the Captain Pacha in this expedition is estimated at
10,000 men, and 100 vessels, large and small. When the Ipsa.
' riots landed to reconquer the Island, the brave Canaris lifted
up the cross, and cried aloud " God be praised, Ipsura is re.
venged." When the carnage was over, Canaris made sail for
Mitylene. The inhabitants of Samos have hoisted the crescent
for a short time to deceive the Turki, and on landing quite
assured, they lost, it is said, some thousand men. Since these
events the Peloponnesus seems animated with new life. If
only the half of the facts mentioned by the Greek Journals be
true, the Porte has never received such severe blows as in this

campaign.*
• This article contains exaggeration injurious to the cause of
the Greeks, but it is a specimen of the arts of the Greek Jour-
nalists. Thus fonnerly news was invented at Athens, while
Philip was levying armies, and purchasing traitors. Fortu-
nately, the 'lurks are not skilful in profiting by an advantage.
