FRENCH PAPERS.

(From the Eloile, dated Tuesday.)

Or: irr A KTINOPLE, MAY 10.,—Within these three days five
sack; filled with heads and ears have been received here from Ms-
solonghi, with some flags and a horn. The public expected to
see four Greek Captains who were taken prisoners, but it is re-
ported they have been rescued on their way by the insurgents.—..
It is announced that the Capitan Psicha has been for these three
days in the Dardanelles, and that he hes asked leave to come for
some days to Constantinople.
Since yesterday the large vessels of the squadron which have
been equipped here during the winter sailed for the Dardanelles.

This squadron con►ists of 4 two-deckers, 4 frigates, and 10 or 12
ships carrying from 20 to 18 guns. The first division sailed in
April.
It is believed that the Capitan Pacha, in concert with Ibrahim

is going to Make an attack on Hydra and Spersia. It ii reported
tbs,t the Government at Napoli has removed to Hydra, and that
alhithe Greek vessels have been summoned to Eginn, to prepare
for the attack with which the insurgents think those places men-
aped by the Ottoman fleet.

The whole corps of artillery had just received a considerable
augmentation of pay. The privates are tor have an addition of
100 piastre annually ; the addition rising progressively, amounts
to 10,000 piastres fir the chief.
Such a measure deserve attention it may show that the Porte.
in thus attaching to itself this chosen regular corps has a plan in
reserve which it is not difficult to divine. The example of the
troops of Ibrahim Pacha must have convinced it of the advantages
it of this organization, which it so odious to the Jannissaries.

dated 27th and 28th April, 1826

ramps to the west were to' a►a4e an that side, end thrir
firing was'to be 4 signal to whielt the besieged would answer by
setting fire to some Louses, and then all the garrison would rush
out to entlearour to force its way through the Musstilman army.
The Paella immediately took measures to keep in check the 12u-
nit:hots (those of Karaiskski, doubtless), to stop the avenues by
which the besieged might escape, and to expect them with firm-
ness. The fact confirmed the statements of the deserter.

On the 22d, at the signal and houragreed upon, the besieged
sallied out, but the firmness and arrangements of the Turks even
showed the Greeks that the tiring in the rear of the lifussultnan
troops was of no advantage to them. They then rushed despe-
rately on• the enemy. The carnage was terrible, but the Greeks
necessarily were overpowered by the cannon. The Suliots threw
down their artus—but amidst this scene of confusion and blood,
the rage of the victors could .not he once restrained. All, that
bore arms, all the males in the town above the age of twelve,
perished. Nuto Bozattri, Giavella, and the Europeans in the see-
vice of the Greeks, were all counted among the dead oO the field
of battle. Only b,OOO or 6,000 women and children were saved
and taken as slaves. Ibrahim nicht bitterly deplored the im-
possibility first of preventing and then of •topping the effusion of
blood. •

'6 The troops are already going to the Mom. The Vizier will
go on the 29th to Perm, and thence in two columns to Tripo-
lizza ; one will go by Elio, the other by Calayicta. Redschid
Pacha will march to Salona, to destroy or subdue the Greek bands
that occupy of that part Romelia.

" The.oapitanPacha is going to return to the Archipelago,
with the combined fleets of Egypt and Constantinople. It seems
that he will attack Hydra, and that Ibrahim will second him by
taking post at the gardens, opposite that island."
Nets, Aiwa 12.—An eye witness of the catastrophe of Mi.-
' tolotighi, who was with Ibrahim Paella, affirms in a letter in-
serted in the Diario di Roma, that all the Greeks who attempted
to leave the town were killed, and that the bodies of Boturis,
Favella, Pusiadiamandopulo, Stuccari, Mucre, and others, were
recognised among the dead. The same correspondent affirms
that Athens is taken, and the citadel besieged.
Letters from Corfu, of 90th May, say that Ibrahim was still at
Petra', waiting for the arrival of Ibrahim Bey from the Darda-
nellei, before he undertakes further operations. This was con-
sidered as a proof of the extent of his losses before Misnolonghi,
which obliged him to keep on the defensive. The Greeks, how-
ever, gain time, which they employ to provision Napoli, and pit
it in a good state of defence. It is reported that Miaulis has cap-
tured near Hydra fourteen transports from Alexandria, with am-
munition and provision, and sent them to Napoli. The Capitan
Pacha arrived on the I Oth May oft' lisitra, to join the expedition
under Ibrahim Bey. Every preparation was making at Hydra for
an obstinate resistance.

That mole on your brow, like a porcupine's snout,
Tito' yOu think it adds grace to your skin,
Believe me, appears like a beacon without,
To display the void desert within.
So the poppy with rich rubicundity glows,
But where'er its gay colours abound
The soil, as each shrewd agriculturist knows,
. Is at best but a desert around.
