Orsova, dated the 2d, announce that the Turks, not-
withstanding the reinforcements they have eceived,
have suddenly abandoned the important .itiott-
Kalefat, which was immediately • occupied by the
troops of General Geismar, as well as a neighbour-
ing island, from whence the Turks had always issued
out to make incursions, We • are anNions for the .
confirmation of this news, and to learn the motives
for such a resolutiOn.
VIENNA, Nor. 13.—The mails from Bucharest
and Odessa have not arrived to-day; that from Tur-

Minister of War an account in detail "of the opera-

the Morea, where 000 men were shut up after the
capitulation of Patras, to which they would not
agree. I shall limit myself, therefore, to giving you.
the details of the part which the navy took in this
operation.

Other guns were 17nded and were about to be
mounted, when the arrival of the- Con4nerant and

us to add two 24-potiriders belonging to that ship,

Minister that he incloses him a copy of the letter he
had addressed to Vice-Admiral Malearri, and takes
that opportunity•of expressing the . satisfv.tion he
continues to feel at the relations which exist hetwe,en
the allied squadrons, and the harmony-which has not
ceased to prevail for one. instant 4etween the three

difficulties they had met with in the executioo of their
duty. The following is the inclosed letter to Ad-

" CONQUERANT, PATRAS, soy. 1, 1828.
SIR,—It is a great satisfaction to me to have
to i;cform yob of the frank and cordial co-operation
of Captain Lyons, of his Britannic Majesty's ship
the Blonde, of Captain Lassington, of the Etna, and
Of all the officer; and men under their orders, at the-
reductio): of the fort of the More!". Called the second
time to witness the enerOtic emulation of our re-
speetti4 shipe for the accomplishment of a common
purpos, it is my particular duty to recommend to
the attentiou'4of their Commander-ht-Chief the
officers amt Maiden-. who, in a series of labo4oss
services,
melt perseverance as deter.
ruination; but I neg: particularly to callthe atten-
tion of
your Excellency` to Lieutenant • Luckraft,
First Lieutenant of the Blonde' who, in the service
on shore, directed very skilfully .the Blonde'.s guns.

Adarirul Rigny then refers to a copy of a tater,
which he also meioses, written by himself and Ge.

" The undersigned have the honotw to inform the
Pacha of Leyauto, •that in making prepatetlons to
occupy the Castle of the Morea, it is not thei,r
tentiou to commit any act of hostility against the

considering the Q-ulf of Lepanto as a rae4t4al sea on
'.vhich no hostility ought to be exercised icy the

DESPATCHES ADDRESSED TO THE MINISTER
OF WAR, BY GENERAL MATSON'.
:16IFORE TILE CASTLE or 'rue MORE A p• OCT. 28.
—The Convention for the evacuation of -Ph.
tray RA the Castle of the Morea, of winch I 'sent
your Excellency a copy, seemed to terminate our
operations in the Morea, by delivering it from
ofits
enemies; hut on the day fixed for the delivery
the Castle of the Morea to our troops,. the Agas
who commanded there revolted against their supe-
riors, refused to give up the place, and sicelared
they would bury themselves under its ruins, sooner
than surrender. All the means of conciliation em-

ployed by General Schneider failed against the ob-
stinacy of the rebels, who even began hostilities
against us, by cha.rging the General and the Captain
of Artillery, who had approached to reconnoitre the
place; then General Schneider resolved to reduce
the Castle by force, and on the night of the 19th he
began his works before it. On the 18th, I was in-
formed, at Nayarit', of the state of things in the
Gulf of Lepanto. I reqiiested Admiral Rigny to
supply me with means of transporting 1,500 men,
and some ships of the line ; and I immediately dis-
patched, by hind, the division of General Ilivorketr
Admiral Rigny resolving to go himself, I emi;aiked
in his ship, with a company of miners, and all the
artillery.
On the 20th all the troops were on their march;
those who went by land had eight different marches
to ,accomplish, and great exertions were necessary
to secure them supplies during their route. The
fleet, the 46th regiment, the artillery, &c. which
went by it, arrived in thirty-six hours. •
" On the 22d in the evening I was before the
castle ; on the 23d in the morning I reconnoitred it
and the works erected in the short time. The
place is strong and well fortified ; a battery of 14
guns at 250 toises had silenced the greater part of
the fire of the castle. Another was preparing at
130 toises ; I ordered it to be removed to within 40
or 50 toises ; it was established, and several others
commenced at the same distance. We have com-
►nenced regular operations ; and we shall be this
evening, the 28tb, at the foot of the ramparts, when
I shall open it with 40 guns, of which 22 are batter-
ing guns; the others are to be employed in destroy-
ing the angles of the fortifications. The troops have
laboured very hard, and they have- displayed the
greatest zeal and courage. Ther seamen have as-
sisted us greatly, and I must particularly mention the
zeal of the English Captain Lyons, of theßlonde, who
was desirous of assisting our Navy in the reduction
of the place, and it was settled that be should send
as many men and guns from his ship as were sent
from ours ; his people and ours are at the same
battery, their guns are placed together, and both
parties act like brave and true comrades. Each gun
is fired to cries of Vive le Roi.' The Russians
are hat Malta, and will regret their absence from the
place. Admiral Heyde' has frequently offered me
his services. I hope to celebrate the Fete du Roi
by the capture of the Castle.
" The fever continues to attack a great number of
soldiers. I regret to add, that the recovery is slow,
and that the rainy season, which is about to com-
mence, will not be favourable to the re-establishment
of health. In particular -the engineers have suffered
much, and the losses of their body are out of all
proportion greater than any other, which is attributed
to the severe labour they have undergone. At pre-
sent the four companies of sappers do not contain
more than 200 men capable of marching."

" EFFORE THE CASTLE OF THE MOREA, OCT. 31.
"$47--Ll‘ly letter of the 28th, which was de-
this comes, by etintrary winds, have
informed your Excellency 'of 'the state of things;
our labours were continued without intermission,
with a zeal which cannot be too much praised, and
yesterday, the 30th, the breaching batteries being
ready, our fire was opened at six o'clock in the morn-
hig the effect was prompt and terrible; in four
hours a hag:: breach was made; the enemy dare not
show himself on the wails; and I then caused the
fire of the batteries to be suspended, except those
of the breach. I would have then ordered an assault,
when a flag of truce was displayed ; I declared to
the hearer; who desired to treat for a surrender,
that I would grant no capitulation to people who
had already violated one—ihat they must surrender
at discretion, or I would put them all to the sword
before two hours; that I would only give them
half-an-hour to open the gates, and come out without
arms, They immediately submitted, saying, that
finding therriselyep before a Representative of the
powerful King of France, they placed themselves in
his hands and at his mercy.

- Two companies of the -10th and one of the 4th
Ag* poszgasion of the gates ' • the delivery of the
arms 'anon whigh- were some handsome satires Arid
yatagans, grieved the Turfs very rntieh, but I was
desirous of punishing them for resistin file Gait}}
lotion of Patras, and I was inflexible. I distributed
the arms to the Generals, the other officers, and
meii of both services.
" The frie Potteries were called Charles X.,
George IV. the DAtivhip, the Duke de Bordeaux,
and the Navy. The English, who served four guns,
were extremely pleased by our attention in giving
pew of the batteries the name of their Sovereign.—
We w,e;:p p2iirid to do so by the zeal and fidelity-
with which they behaved on all occasions. I can-
not too much praise Lieut., Luckraft, an old and
worthy officer, who commanded thi: battery with
ei,ei..tt skill during the whole siege. The bomb wns
also of -great service to us, 23 shells having been
thrown into ;:;;e fort."
The General then 14-;is s the exertions of Gen.
Schneider, and the- other Generals and officers:—
" Our young soldiers (he says) were harnina with
eieske to give the assault. The Turks were asto,
&ailed a.t.• 41a,e effects of our artillery, and could hardly
beliel;e that in s.ol.l4Qtt t time we had destroyed the
walls so completely, bPli4;cl which they thought
they should be safe for i long time; 3E pieces of
ordnance were employed.
I have written a note, in conjunction with Admi-
ral tigny, to the Pacha of Lepanto, giving him as-
surances of the "pod sentiments of the Allies for the
Porte.
The list of the killed ass wopnded has not yet
been sent to me; but I do not believe tkey exceed
tweptv-five, ten of whom belong to the artillery-,
sent to 7,9. yr Excellency the flags used by different
portions of theTarkish garrison. I have hoisted at
the Castle of the i',l,orea. the • flags of the Allied
Powers, as at the other

works.

LEGHORN, Nov. 6.—A1l the accounts from Asia
agree in stating that great and general alarm is
caused by the progress of the Russian arms. The
Asiatic Turks do not pay the least regard to the
announcement of victories said to have been-gained
on the Danube, they think only on the evils which
affect themselves. The Government is obliged to
employ force to raise troops, most of which dis-
perse on the road. For this month past no More
are sent to Constantinople, but attention is wholly
directed to Erzeroum.
Rigorous measitres*have been sent from Constanti-
nople to SMyrna, for the expediting of provisions,
especially corn. Large quantities are daily sent to
Constantinople from all parts'of Asia. The blockade
of the Dardanelles has not yet commenced, but it
soon will be,. and extend from the port of Salonichi
to the Gulf of Smyrna, the last port excepted.
All these accounts are very, disastrous to the com-
merce of Smyrna. The greatest tranquillity, how-
-1 ever, prevails in the city.
