This forenoon we received private letters from
Smyrna, containing intelligence of great importance
from Greece. All doubts as to the fall of Ipsara are at
an end. The Capitan Pacha summoned the Island on
Friday, the 2d of July, his messages were returned with
insult, the Ipsariots either thinking the enemy would not
land, or that they could offer formidable resistance.
The next morning, at four o'clock, while a feigned attack
was made on the batteries in the port, on the east side,
14,000 men were landed on the west side of the island,
which was immediately carried. Ten or twelve armed
Greek vessels, with all their fire-ships, were burnt by the
Turks, and 18 or 20 other vessels struck their colours.

Ten or twelve of the best Greek vessels, with many
of the richer Greeks, and, it is said, the public trea-
sure, escaped at the. commencement of the attack, in-

stead of waiting to resist it. The Capitan Pacha, it
appears, acted with great clemency, and offered a re-
ward of five hundred piastres for every Greek prisoner
brought to the camp alive. The fall of Ipsara has led
to that of Samos, which has sent in its submission ; and
Eipresses, announcing these important successes, have
been sent to Constantinople, where they will infuse new
vigour into the long torpid councils of the Divan. The
following are the letters to which we have alluded s

" SMYRNA, JULY 5.
41 Ipsara was taken by the fleet of the Captain Pacha
of Saturday, the 3d instant (July), at six o'clock was.,
The fleet appeared before the Island on Friday, and the
Captain Pacha sent in two flags of truce before he com-
menced the attack, promising a free and full pardon to
the Island, if they would lay down their. arms. The
first was sent back w ith a message, That sooner than
submit, every man was determined to die.' The second
fared worse, and was sent back with his beard half
shaved of, and with a message, 6 That they were wait-
ing his attack with anxiety.' The attack commenced at
four o'clock, A.M. on Saturday morning, on the West of
the Island, where about 14,000 men were landed,
whilst a feigned attack was making on the batteries in
the port, on the other side of the Island.

" The flight became general about six o'clock, and
the Captain Pacba, seeing himself completely master of
the island, and willing to stop a further effusion of
blood, issued a proclamation, promising 500 piastres for
every Greek prisoner brought to the camp alive. A
good many vessels in the port are said to have escaped.
Thus has the 6nt attacked, and one of the islands said to
be amongst the mat formidable, fallen nearly without a
struggle. I fully calculate that this is the forerunner of
other successes on the part of the Turks ; and it is a
problem, to me not easily solved, to what rate of dis-
count the Greek Loan in England will fall."

" JULY 6.—We have later and more detailed accounts
from Ipsara. It appears that all the fire ships, and
abou► ten or twelve armed Greek •essels, were burnt
by the Turks, and that eighteen or twenty others struck
their colours, and had the Turkish flag flying when the
last accounts came away. About ten or twelve of the
bed Greek vessels, with the richer Greeks on board,
with their families, and, it is said, the public treasure,
escaped at the commencement of the attack, without
fighting at all, telling their betrayed countrymen that
they were going to attack the Turks in another quarter
of the Island, to cause a diversion. The Fort of St.
Nicolo, with a lfandffil of men in it, was blown up by
the Turks on Saturday morning. The Turkish fleet
will go next to Samos, which will most likely be at-
tacked in a ♦ery few days.

48 ES. The island of Samos has sent in its submis-
sion, and expresses have been sent off to Constantinople,
and to the Captain Pacha'i fleet, to announce the event.
A Tartar passed through here this morning, bearing
the express.",
