men killed and six wounded. All- the Greeks shevied
clams' dinarx courage in that engagement, but I think i
my duty to name those who contributed most especiAlly
to our victory : 'they were the Chiliarchs, Joannes Hos-
chi and Joannes Mamoni, and the Pentacosiarchs Mitro
Pacvesaqiii and lliiscono Catzuri. Inclined by their
courage, and obliged by their position, they determined
to conquer or die. None deserted: all tidied to mind
their immortal ancestors, and the spot on which they
stood ; and they fought in the name and for the con-
solidation of their beloved and revered Government, for
which alone all must combat who really love and desire
true libel ty.—Your obedient fellow-citizen,

FROM A PRIVATE LETTER.

" NATOLI DI ROMANIA, &MUST 20.
" The affairs of Greece have assumed a most auspi-
cious aspect within the last three weeks; so much so,
indeed, that I now look forward to a series of triumphs
as a matter of course. The courier who takes this to
'Lane is also the bearer of a dispatch from Cartain
Georgius Sactouri, commanding a division of the Greek
fleet stationed off Samos, giving an account of the de-
strqction of a Turkish line-of-battle ship, a frigate, brig,
and about .59 transports, which were proceding to the
attack of that island. This highly important event:took
place on the 17th, and was chiefly effected by the ai.l
of fire•ships ; the heroic Canaris of Irai a distinguished
himself as usual, having almost by his single exertions
and bravery fired the line-of-battle ship. Although the
Capitan Pacha, who was in sight, took flight when the
action began? it was expected that another attack would
be made on the remainder of his squadron the follow-
iqg day. This was only deferred because the Gtteks had
no more fire-ships prepared. The news reached this last
night by a brig of war that was present in the action,
and whose Captain witnessed the explosion of the ene-
my's ships. The delay in sending off the messenger
arose from my having to attend a grand religious cere-
mony, in which a Te Dimes was followed by a most
eloquent and impressive sermon from the celebrated
Bergmin of Mitylene, who must be known to Mr. Al-
len. Matters go on most prosperously in Western
Greece, particularly at Salona, where the brave Gene-
ral Scalza obtains daily successes over the shattered re-
mains of Dervish Puha% army. From Attica we ate
in momentary expectation of important news, as a large
force has been dispatched to attack the corps which had
already experienced such a severe attack at Marathon."
A letter from Crete, of 23d August, says the Cretans
have lost their liberty, but they have the good fortune
to live under the paternal government of Mehemet Ali
Pacha. The Greek is now treated on the same footing
as the Musselman. We foresee that the situation of
Crete will improve in a few years, if our country should
follow the impulse which Mehemet Ali Pacha seems to
wish to give it. At this moment our commerce is re-
duced to nothing.
