FROM THE JOIJENAL DES DEBATS.
OFFICIAL NEWS FROM GREECE.
NAVARIN (IN THE MOREA), AUGUST 31.
Tile Ottoman fleet has effected a landing at Samos.
The Greek fleet, commanded by Miaulis Vncos, ar-
rived at the same time; a furious battle followed—the
Greeks were victorious. The Turks lost oat linnof-
battle ship, three frigates, and SO gun-boats, which were
either wrecked or destroyed by the Greek fire-ships.
All the Turks who were landed were put to the sword.
A conspiracy has been discovered bete, organised by
certain foreigners who are at Calamate, waiting the
Egyptian squadron. The garrison of Navarin has in
consequence been reinforced, and posts are established
to set fire to all the villages at the first signal of danger
from the Turks. Before long, also, we shall know what
we have to hope or fear from the Egyptians.
FROM THE CONSTITUTIONNEL.OI SUEDAT.
SMYRNA, AUGUST 14.
According to information we have received, the Ot-
toman fleet is this day off Samos. From that island
they write as follows :-44 July 29.—How affecting is
the scene which has just passed here; a whole popula-
tion of women, children, and old people, forsaking the
houses 6f their ancestors to retreat to the mountains,
peeferring the most rude abodes to the lost a their in-
dependence. Feeble and delicate persons, who hreve
hitherto lived in opulence, are now exposed to all the
inclemency of the heavens, and have no other, home
but the rocks. The Samians have destroyed the greater
part of their houses; and have carried off to the moun-
tains all their moveable wealth. A fleet of one hundred
vessels is gone to meet the Egyptians, and thirty arson
a cruise. The. families of Hydra and Speuia bare
retired to the strong . places of the Peninsula. Four
thousand men have been sent tothese islands to defend
them, and the enthusiasm is general. About 2,000
men of the Turkish army which is forming at Utilise,
die every day of the plague."
• CONSTANTINOPLE, AUGUST at.
The Captain Pacha has at. length directed his course
,for Samos. 'The Greek fleet, which kept him in view
all the time, has taken, it is said, twenty of his trans.-
ports, and 2,000 troops. It is said, that he has effected
41 landing at Samoa; but as yet there is no official news.
The Sarmans, who desire to itnitaxe the Irsariatse Mee
-destroyed everything on the coast, and have no" 're-
treated to the mountains, so that it will require great
sacrifices to conquer the island. News of great import-
ance is expected every hour. From Negropont, it is
said, 6000 Turks advanced to Athens, but they found
the Acropolis Occupied by the Greeki. The internal
sate of the empire is as much a subject of un-
easiness to the Porte as the continuation of the contest
with the Greeks. The Sultan. seems threatened with the
greatest danger. The Janissaries murmured, were dis-
contented, and derail-stied the removal of their Aga.
it was necessary to comply instantly with their demand.
At-the same time the artisans of the dock-yard re-
,volied, and also required that their Aga should be dis-
missed, which was granted them. When to these facts
is added a prediction spread abroad by design, to an-
vounte that this year is to decide the fate of the Otto-
man Government, you will easily judge of the state of
*messiness in this capital. Fortunately the relations-of
the Divan with foreign Powers are in the best state.
Lord Strangfiird has received from St. Petersburgh an
assurance that his conduct has been quite satisfactory.
M. Ottenfels continues to evert himself to obtain the
evacuation of the P. inciipalities ; and apparently he has
succeeded, though the result is not in accordance with
the Russian Ultimatum.
