PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCF.
" Narou 111 Rexam, JULY
" Lord Charles Murray and myself have just re-
turned from the Church of St. Giorgio, where we ac-
companied the Membe, s of the Executive, the whole of
the Legislative- Body,,and an immense concourse of mi-
litary, citizens, &c. to hear Te Deum sung for the deli-
verance of !pure floes the Turks. This event was 1111.•
nounced in a dispatch of the brave Miaotdis dated on
',lard his own ship, off Ipsara, on the 4th (16th), on the
morning of which day he had attached and toured the
whole of the Tut kith vessels left behind fotrthe purpose
of carrying the plunder and prisoners. Ajaty of
Greeks having landed, the. Turks took refuge in several
houses of the town, where they acre closely invested,
and not likely to holdout more than a few hours. With
respect to the -Captain Pacha's squadron, it has sepa.
rated, one half having gone to Smyrna, and the other
to Mytilene. This arose fiom a (head of being mere
easily overtaken by the Greek fleet, which continues to
.itd:ze between Ipsara and Scio. In the attack which
was made on the morning of the 16th, several transports
and armed vessels were either taken or destroyed.--
Aliaouti describes the ardour and bravery of his men to
have been above ail praise—indeed, all classes of the
islanders only seem to be animated by one sentiment,
that of revenge for the recent cruelties of the enemy.
Now that the itifidell are driven. from the above
important point, it is intended that the Ipsariots shall
reoccupy the island, and erect a species of citadel which
shall be capable of resisting every future attack. The
very best consequences are expected to result from die
successes of the fleet. Other ships are prepaiing, so
that it is expected an additional trinliweement of fifty
will sail in a few days. The whole will then be formed
into two divisions, of which one is destined to watch
the Captain Pacha, while the other proceeds off Ale:-
endue, there to await the expedition projected by Ma-
hornet Ali. In all the latest accounts received here, it
is reported, that although the Pacha of Egypt has col-
lected about 15,000 men and some transports, it is
doubtful whether he intends carrying his threat into
execution or hot. Upon the whole, Ido cot think that
there is anything whatever to be apprehended from that
quarter. You will receive a most spirited proclamation
of the Provisional Government on the subject of
foreigners allowing their vessels to be taken up as
transports by the Infidel Chief. This has been received
by the Consuls at Alexandria, and produced the desired
effect. Although-the money has not yet arrived from
Zama, we are sn hopes of seeing it very soon,. as all the
necessary steps have been taken.
" From the church I proceeded to the Legislative
Body, also accompanied by Lord Charles, whets Tri-
coupe read a long paper of mine, stating the objects of
my visit to Greece, and calling on them to take imme-
diate steps for raising the interest of the loan, dec. I
was received in the most flattering manner, and pro-
mised that immediate attention should be paid to all my
propositions. A law will be passed forthwith, ernpovr-
ering.the Executive to send home produce for the pay-
ment of the interest; and I shall most probably sail in
about ten days in a national vessel for the Thames. I
hope to be the • bearer of highly important documents,
which shall satisfy the creditors and all others interested
in the march of the Greek cause. It is also intended
that a part of the youths intended for education in
England shall accompany me. I ant to present a let,
ter to the Executive this
_evening, containing divers
proposals, to all of which I anticipate a moit favourable
reply, having already sounded the parties ; but as I ask
fir nothing but that .which is of easy execution, and for
their own good. there is no reason to expect that diffi-
e aides will be thrown in the way..
" It was when 1 gave up all hope of hearing from you
that your letter of the 15th June reached me, about
four-days after my arrival here. I need not tell you
hos; concerned we all were tc hear of the dreadful fall
in the Loan ; the More so as we are at a loss to conceive
to what_ it is to be attributed. Besides the arrangements
with the Government, 1 ant comerting with the Can.
diotes as to the best Imams of forwardins the needful
there. An expedition from this to Candle is already
id.preparation ; its sworn for the recovery of all the
points lately over-roo, is spies of with the utmost
confidence."
