EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM corm', OP THE 30T11
OW AUGUST, RECEIVED RY THE WAY OP ANCONA.

" MY DEAR SIR—I have hitherto delayed addressing
you from two reasons, firstly, because the affairs of
Greece held ut no cheering aspect' to her friends; anel
secondly, because the news that reached us were of ,so
contradictory a nature, that I could not depend on
them, and was, consequently, afraid of promulgating
falsehoa&. I am, however, now most happy to inform
you, that Greece has nothing to fear from her enemies
in this campaign. It seems that, on the Ist instant, the
Greek Government, afraid of the operations which were
being carried on against Missolonghi, and seeing Ibra-
him Pacha almost under the very walls of Napoli, deter.
mined to follow the advice that bad been'-given than
.by Commodore Hamilton, and accordingly Malin:icor-
dato published an unequivocal act of submission to
England, and it was decreed that Spiridon Tricupis,
a member of the Legislative Body, and formerly a pro-
tege of Lord Guildford's, akyoung man of very great
promise, and in every way equal to the task, should be
dispatched to England, to present a duplicate of the
Decree to his Britannic Majesty's Ministry, and to re-

quest of them, by every pledge of nature, to deliver
Greece from the evils which were Leaped upon her by
her Christian enemies, the Austrians, sad the French.
Two days after this important stela had been taken, the
Government received official intelligence from Nora
Buzzaris that the Turks had been it itirely beaten
at Missolonghi, and had been driven to Vrachory,
and at the same time from Miaulis, that the fi et
which blockaded that place by sea had been obliged
to seek refuge under the fortresses of Lepanto. A
great quantity of ammunition, consisting of powder,
balls, and cannon, had been taken by the Greeks. It
appears that the Greeks, doubting no longer of tte
amity of Great Brnain, from the friendship which they
themselves experienced from Hamilton, had taken fres')
c 0..) age. They attacked Ibrah.m Pacha, whom t!•ey
beat birVe al times. In one engagement he lost 1,600
men, and on endeavouring to retrace his steps to Na.
vartno, he found the way entirely cut off by bodies of
G edes, who had assembled to the number of 25,000.
Ibrah m dispatched 1,200 Arabs to Calamata, bur on
their way they were surprised and entirely cut off by
the Arcadians. On the 3d (15th instant) Colocotroni
came up with Ibrahim, whilst he was endeavouring to
force himself a way to Navarino, and an engagement
ensued, in which the Pacha was completely routed.--
He was driven b tc k to Tripolizza, and among the many
officers who were taken alive, there was also Hussein
Bey, one of tl:e chiefs in Ibrahim's suite. To complete
the disasters of the EP yptian leader, a courier had been
intercepted who was carrying him letters, acquainting
him with a general insurrection in Candia, and on this
news being communicated to the Government, Capt.
Kalergy, and another Officer, were sent with 1,200
men to encourage the Candiotes, and to assure them of
assistance. This, it is thought, will render impossible
any fresh shipments of troops from Soda, as they will be
found requisite in that quarter. The brave Canaria, with
six fire-shipsnias been sent under con voy ofAdmiralTonn.

Great hopes are entertained of his success, and he is the
most experienced man among all those employed in
the conducting of the fire ships, and more especially
since he has never been known 'o fail in any attack he
has made on the enemy. We have just seen pass
here the Greek vessels which arc cruising towards Pre-
vesa, anti vaelearn that four vends have been sent to
Candia. After the proclamation in favourof the English,
the Austrian Commander; fearing for the manner in
which he had espoused the cause of the Musselmen,
'gave notice to.alk the Captains of Austrian transports,
that he would no longer grant protection to vessels taken
by the Greeks, if found laden with provisions or sup-
plies of_ any kind for the Turks. Tricupis, who is
