has armed 150 vessels large and small: 50 of the best
are gone to Samos, under Captain Miaulis, of Hydra,
to watch the motions of the fleet from Constantinople,
and the 100 others await the Egyptian fleet. It is said

of all those who were on board the twenty vessels with
troops which left this place to attack Samos, they are
the only ones who escaped death. That not only those
twenty vessels, but many others, full of troops, fell a
prey to the Greeks or to the waves. A Tartar ar-
rived at Scala Nuova yesterday, who has informed
the Governor of the island that the Greeks have burnt
two Turkish frigates. The Captain of an English mer-
chantman affirms that the Gteeks have taken to Palmos,
seven boats full of Turks that were taken before Samos.
Two brigs of war from Constantinople have arrived here,
to take to that city the prizes made at Ipsara, by the
Capitan Pacha. These prizes consist iu some boats.

PARIS, OCTOBER 8.
We can guarantee the truth of the following news,
which whew the truth of what passed before Samus.
Constantine Canaris is not dead, as was reported : •
The King's schooner, the Amaranthe, sent to Samos
to observe, returned to Smyrna on the 30th of Septem-
ber. He was witness to the check whi:h the Ottoman
squadron has received. Thirty Greek vessels, under
Miaulis, had watched for some days all the maim,: of
this squadron, to hinder its effecting a landing on Samos.
The Tut ks, alwayt under sail for tear of the file-ships,
thought only of saving themselves against them, and ma
their side observed the Greek squadron, which was much
lighter and more skilful than the Turkish squadron. The
Greeks always kept to the winciward of the Turks, to be
ready to attack them. One day (the '2oth) they at length
made a movement, as if 'to attack the transports, and
to seize them. A frigate, a corvette, and a brig imme-
diately were detached from the Ottoman fleet to oppose
them: they were surprised by a calm, on which the
Greeks sent out three fire•ships. The three ships of
war keep up a fire from all their guns, the Turks nit en-
veloped in smoke, and can no longer see their enemies.
—They continue to fire, but at random. No shot takes
effect. The fire.ships approach without firing a musket,
and hidden by the smoke, one of them, conducted' by
Canaris, who burnt the Capitan Pasha's ship at &ire,
reached the Turkish ft igate and set it on fire. The other
two fire-ships were equally successful, and the Ottoman
Admiral saw his three ships blown up without beirt
able to save the crews or Recap their death on the
Greeks. During the first attacktgboarew Mebmet made
