LEGUO RN, .3. AN. 22. (Private Correspondence.)
After so many vague and contradictory reports
respecting the late events in Greece, we have just
received the most authentic dispatches respecting
the battle, which has once more saved Misso-
longhi from the fury of the barbarians. The
Porte tired of the ptomises of Redachid, and
dispairing of his ever making himself master of that
town, had exiled him to Asia. where death will,
perhaps, soon overtake him. Ju*suf Pacha being
appointed in his room, left Patras, the command
of which he gave up to Ibrahim, with the Turkisk
fleet, and 7,000 men, commanded by the apostate
Selous. These troops joined the remains of the
army of Redschid Pacha, and on the 30th Decem-
ber Missolonglii was again attacked by s- a and
land. The garrison defended it, with unparal-
leled courage, yet it was threatened with total de•
struction, when the Greek fleet, consisting of
72 vessels, appeared in the gulf. The brave
Miaulis manoeuvred on this occasion with so much
ability, that he forced the Turco Egyptian fleet
to a general action ; it was very obstinate. The
ship of Miaulis was sunk, but he happily got
on board another with ' his crew. At length
victory declared for the Greeks ; the enemy
took to flight, after having lost above sixteen
vessels, as well as frigates and brigs, which were
burnt and sunk. The Greeks lost four vessels,
the crews of which were almost all saved. As
for the Turks, who attacked on the land side,
they not only failed in their enterprise, but after
having been driven far from the town,by the gar•
risen of 7,000 men, and by 3,000 fresh troops
whom Miaulis had landed, they were almost all
destroyed. A report is even current at this rno•
ment, which, if true, would crown the joy of the
Greeks. It is said that Colocotroui, profiting by
the absence of Ibrahim Pattie, has made himself
master of Tripolizza, the Egyptain garrison,
which has been cut to pieces.

MR. DOUVILLE'S SUPERIOR PLAN

TEAOHI t FRENCH.

TO TUE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sta—Among the ingenious methods Which
have been thought of, to.facilitate the acquire-
ment of the French Language, that of Mr. D°11"
vutai has certainly the highest claims to
public
notice. By his mode of tuition, the pupil will
not only be enabled to converse with the sat"
fluency and accuracy of pronunciation, AS if he
had studied in Paris, lint he will likewise h°
qualified to write w ith the greatest purity end
elegance ; for such is the efficacy• of his systems
that while the pupil acquires facility in speaking"
he gradually attains a thorough knowledge of the
elementary principles of the language, and tit/-
.
becomes perfectly acquainted with those ver's.
tions and niceties of expression which so fre"
quently occur in polite conversation among th: fa-
shionable circles in the capital of France. 4.1"
French Grammar which Mr. Douville has just pub"
lished on the same plan, is highly calculated for the
rapid attainment of that fascinating language. It
contains exercises chiefly composed of expressions
and sentences most used in familiar discourse ;
thus affording the student, in presenting to hi!,
view the rules of Syntax, a valuable collection of
useful phrases. The nature of the
French verbs
is also exhibited in quite a novel and perspicuous
manner. But the remarks on pronunciation, the
explanations of idioms, the models of composi-
tion for the common business of the world, and
the treatise on French Poetry, are peculiarly ser-
viceable. The whole, in short, is se judiciously
arranged, that those who may wish to acquire a
knowledge of French with a view to conversa
tion, will find this work extremely useful. It is
published by the author, 6, Coventry-street,
Haymarket, and 9., Lawrence-lane, Cheapside.

Your most obedient humble Ser
