AMONA, AUGUST S.

The Captain of a ship front Salonica, and the let-
ters he has brought from that city, convey she fol-
lowing news:
" The Greeks of Cassandra, whom the Turks drove out of
it country last winter, took refuge in Psara. The inhabitants
of that island, afraid of some attempt on the yart of the Turks,
took them into pay in their land service, promising to reinstate
them on the first opportunity in their own country. Conform-
el,ly to this promise, when, after the disaster of the Turkish fleet
i.t the Channel of Scio, the islanders of Psara were out of dan-
ger, they armed a squadron of small vessels, in which they em-
barked the Cassandrians. In the night of July 5, this squadron
entered the Gulf of Salonica, and fifteen hundred of the most
resolute Greeks having landed on the coast, marched under
cover of the darkness upon two batteries established by the
Turks for the defence of their port. The troops on guard were
sarpriscd, and killed or dispersed.
" The Cassandrians, after having spread alarm into the very
city', which the Turks consider as the second Capital of the Em-
pire, shipped the artillery of the batteries onboard the squadron,
and set sail for Cassandra. These, the troops having disemH
batked at break of day in the port Couphos, divided into two
parties, of which one marched on the town of Cassandra, which
eives name to the Peninsula—the other to the Isthmus, called

Ora Cassandrian Gates: The squadron supported their opera-
tions by sea. The Turkish garrison, surprised in the town, was
cut to pieces, and the whole Peninsula, which it cost the Turks
seven months to take, was reconquered by the Greeks in six hours.
14 After this success the latter landed on the Isthmus the ar-
tillery they had taken in the port of Salonica and fortified the
passage. This time they are better armed than they were before
they evacuated it, and they are supported by an established Go-
vernment, which knows the importance of the diversion they
effect against the Turks in Macedonia."

The Greeks on the coast retreated

where this fleet is ; but 36 vessels, well armed and
equipped, have departed from Spezzia in pursuit of
it. The citadel of Athens, and the fortress of Napoli
de Romania, have surrendered by capitulation ; thus,
in the Psloponnesus, there are actually only three for-
tresses in the possession of the Turks—Patras, Modon,
and Cotton. The two latter are not in a state to resist
for a long time. As to that part of Greece comprised
between the Isthmus of Corinth and Thermopylae, it
is all free, except the fortress of Leparte. In Thessaly
the Greeks are masters of Zeitouni and Neopatras,
and, to deliver the Province entirely, it is only neces-
sary to drive the Turks out of the town of Larisse,
which lies in a plain, and is not fortified."
A vessel which left Salonica on the 22d July, has
brought letters to Marseilles, which state that, during
the feast of Bairam there was a bloody quarrel between
the troops of the Pacha and the Janissaries, and that 600
of the latter were killed. At the same time, many
of the unfortunate Greeks, and the Danish. Consul,
CYRIACOS ZIANO, were put to death. The Osumi's fa-
mily has been ill-treated and his property confiscated.
The same letters add, that a division of the Greek fleet
has disembarked a corps of troops in the Peninsula of
Cassandra. This corps attacked a fortification in the
night, which was badly defended, and tuok possession
of the cannon. It then entered the town of Cassandra,
and made itself master of the whole Peninsula. On
the 20th of July, the Pacha of Salonica marched to
attack the Greeks, but the latter are well armed, well
fortified, and supported by a division of their fleet."
