French ,Papers to the 29th inst. and the Etoile
of Sunday reached us lust night by express. They
confirm the defeat of the Egyptians before Misso,
longhi, and represent it to have been decisive.

drift might be directed against them are said to
have been sent by those islands to the relief of
Missolonghi. They were landed in the rear of
the enemy, who did not expect an attack from
that quarter, and who, being taken between two
fires, were entirely routed, leaving, it is stated,
4,000 killed and wounded on the field. It
is possible that the advantage gained may be ex-
aggerated, but the accounts have reached us from
too many quarters to leaVe a doubt of a fresh de-
feat having been experienced by the besiegers.—
An article from Trieste, given by the Etoile, and
dated January 12th, expresses astonishment that
neither the Captain Pacha, nor the Seraskier
should have made any use of the augmented force
placed at their disposal, and remarks that Ibra-
him was the only Commander who continued
to proceed with energy, though all the opera.
tions which The had undertaken with detached
corps had entirely failed. It was confirmed by '
several letters, that the greatest disagreement
prevailed between the Turkish and Egyptian
Commanders, and tat the conferences which
they had held to determine the plan of the far-
ther operations, had not had the result that was
expected from them. The only thing that
Ibrahim had effected was, that Patras and the
whole district along the south side of the gulph
of•Lepanto, were in his power. Jussuf Paella
had gone to Lepanto as soon as the troops
which he commanded, had received orders to
evacuate Patras. He was to embark on board
of a Turkish man of war, to return by the Archi-
pelago to Constantinople, because the Porte had
appointed him to a Government in Asia Minor:
This removal which was ascribed to time influence
of Ibraham,
,had produced a very unfavourable
impression ou the Turks, and had still further in.

Commanders. It is said, however, that the Cap.
taro Paella had the most formal orders of his
Government to maintain a good understanding
with Ibrahim, so that he was obliged to shew
himself more submissive to the son of the Viceroy.
of Egy pt tharrhe would under other circumstances
have done. Meanwhile Ibrahim was preparing
to renew his attempts to force a passage across
the Isthmus of Corinth to Western Greece. The
first !laving proved not only unsuccessful, but dis-
estrous, he had ordered a division to advance from
Tripolizza towards the same point, and the Pacha
of Negropont to hind in Li vadia, in order to divert
the attention of the Greeks, and divide their
strength. The Pachit of Negropont, however,
came too soon, and not being supported by the
other corps, was attacked near Thebes, totally
routed, and compelled to re-embark, and to fly
back to Eubata. it is evident from all .these ac-
counts that the tide of success has once more
'turned in favour of the jttct cause, and that even
Should no 4utopean Monarch take her part,
,Greece, strong in right and in the protection of
Providence, will survive the perils of the present
contest, and emerge in confirmed iadepen6oce
from this, her darkest hour.
