_ army-collected in Thessaly, ansonnfed
from 25 to 30,000, men, ani was formed into two
columns, destined to act separately. One of theft,
commanded by Meluned Pacha, _took the direction
of Thermopyla, while the other marched, under the
orders of Moustapha Pacha, by the bridge of .Alla.
mane towards the pass of Neopatra or Patradjie.
The Greeksosho occupied this latter *point, were not
numerous, ;tad the second column,- consisting cf
16,000 men, crave; sed this .pass at the beginning of
,June without meeting any resistance, and encamped
in the neighbourhood of Nevropolis, in Livadia. ,
[ The Greek troops collected in that province being
too few to attack the enemy with suctess; [conttoted
themselves ifith occuryiag the passtgs the enetn. was
obliged to-go through. Moustapha Pittha,'itiferm*d
of dris,,detached a body-41ight tredpit•-sterbstthe
almost :inaccessible foot-paths-OfidhlaattEniffifrfshs,
to .occupy theprinCipal point, andfrlctiftitetheisatih•
'4 the rest of his army. This hod#.lsehig geridedly
some Masselmen• who had fortritty 'irhabiteci- the
.coontrr -succeeded in reaching Raehova, where- the
[few inhabitants who wort unable to save theinstivis
were put to death. From thence it proceeded to
Castn Distortion and someother Villages, all of which
were burned. On June 16, -this body took the route
to the town of Chrysosi but a small detachment of
Greeks who occupied the passes leading to this town,
oppeied it during tine hours. -
In the Meantime,' the Greek Commander,
,Calzo-
dinos, who had left Saline, arrived with some rein.
forcemitits, and completely routed the Turks, whoin
he pnrentcr to Distomon. The Chiliarch, Gowras,
arrived on the following day from Athens with some
reinforcements. The Greeks then again attacked..the
enemy, and caused a terrible carnage,.pursuiiig him
to Nevropolis, where the Turks took refuge in their
camp. The other column, which had marched to-
wards Thermopila• under Melimed Pachi,'svas at-
tacked there by Odysseus, defeated,-and forced•to re-
treat into the plains of Tilessaly.. Moustiapha Pacha,
v/ho commanded the troops encampeASit Nevropolis,
afterwards put himielf in motion towards St. Lilt,
situated between Thebes and the town of Livadia.
A repOit having been "reed among the Turks -that
the iithibitanti of Liiradi4•had hidden all their wealth
in "the fortified Monastery.of the same name, they felt
'theirenpidity very much escited. Moustapha Pacha,
in fact, arrived them at the end of but a feeble .
garrison, aided 14-the Monks, rendered useless all
the efforts of the Turks, • who then contented them-
selves with investing the menastery-.,• '
-The Greeks, however, allotted. '.their 'forces
with great celerity. 137 Jima, alert the President

very violent, and, the carnage very great on both

repulsed and sought their safety in flight, lettrins
behind them 2,000 killed and 806'
