The following is an extract of a letter from J. M.
Allen, Esq. an American Officer in the Greek service,
dated Vatica, (in the Gulph of Colocynthi*),. June 2Q,
1825, from on board the Miltiades, Captain Sahines:
—ln my last, I believe, I informed you that our two
fleets had effected a union, and that the Turkish and
Egyptian fleets were in the port of Suda, in Candia:
Some days since, being off that port, we discovered
forty of the enemy's ships off the mouth of the harbour.
About one o'clock in the afternoon, the Admiral made
the signal for all the bruktes to approach, and endea-
vor to set fire to the enemy's frigates and corvettes;
our ships of war were ordered to approach and covet
the frigates' with our guns. We obeyed the signal, and
made all sail, and after a fight of one hour and a half,
succeeded in burning one frigate of thirty-four guns,
and driving the enemy's ships into port, without receiv-
ing the least damage, or losing a single man. It was
a glorious sight for us to see the crew of the frigate'
taking their lofty flight; the explosion was terribly
'awful. The frigate was a Venetian built ship ; there
-were 400 men on board. We picked up 15 ; 18 were
Greeks, who had been forced to fight against their
'countrymen ; the other two were Turks. It was our
intention to have made an attempt to enter the port at
night with our brulotes, but at this time of the year the
winds are so variable that it would have been impos-
sible to succeed. Since the commencement of this
campaign, we have destroyed between £0 and 60 sail
of ships, which is no small business ; we only want the
frigates, which we know to be coming, to ensure our
liberty and independence. Had we only four frigates,
we could then with impunity bid defiance to the whole
Turkish empire, and do what no other nation but the
English have done—namely, pass the Dardanelles.
When I look upon our little handful of merchant yes-
sels, and see them dauntlessly approach and combat
three times their number of frigates; it makes me long
for greater means, and deplore our want of resources.
None, my dear L—, but, he who fights in company
with Greeks, and shares their difficulties and privations,
can or ought to judge of their character and bravery. l,
If you bear any one, who has been in Greece, say the
the Greeks are not brave, tell him, from me, it is false;
and that he is no friend to liberty or Greece, whose,
shores motives of interest can alone have induced him
to visit. I have new served as a volunteer four months,
and I have not received a cent for my services ; on the
contrary, as long as I have a para, Greece shall be
welcome to it. The bravery of the sailors, and the
intrepid enthusiasm of the brulotiers, in particular,
have inspired me with the utmost esteem and love
for them.
