FRONTIERS OF ITALY, JULY 10.

Livadia has been again the theatre of war, and there
have been some obstinate combats is th .t Province.
Three Turkish corps, which penetrated into the coun-
try from different sides, had gained firm footing for a
time, namely, the Thessalian corps which came from
Zeitouni through the Thermopylae ; the corps from
Negropont, which had penetrated by way flf Bubna to
Thebes, after the Greeks had been obliged, on account
of the superiority of the enemy, and that they might not
be surrounded, to abandon all 13ceotia and the districts
between !krona and Thessaly ; lastly, the corps de-
tached by Redschid Pacha from Etolia, by way of Am-
ruv an; and Kosim,t, towards Lepanto.
All these numerous corps were on their march to
the Gulf of Lepanto, and the Isthmus of Corinth,
to penetrate into the Mo:ea. Omer Pacha, of Negro-
pont, who should have advanced from Thebes to
Salona, there to join the Thessalian corps and the
Albanian corps, detached by Redschid Pacha, unex-
pectedly took another direction, which led him away
from the corps in conjunction with which he was to
act. To the astonishment of everybody, he took the
road to Attica, and is said really to have occupied
Athens. Nobody could account for this march, which
took him away from all farther operations, till positive
information was obtained from. Hydra, through
Turkish Officers, who were taken prisoners in the
action off Capo d'Oro, that the Captain Pacha had or-
ders, instead of landing on the coast of the Morea, to ef-
fect a landing with all the troops on board his ships
of war and transports, at Cape Colonna, on the south
point of Attica, and that Omer Pacha, of Negropont,
had received orders direct from Constantinople, to
march to Athens, to support the Captain P.rcha in his
expedition ; to join the troops landed with his own, and
taking the chief command of the whole, march with his
army, by way of blegara, to the Isthmus, to occupy
Corinth, to blockade the fortress by a detached corps,
and to join in the Morea the two other corps which by
that time would have arrived there. This plan was
defeated by Sachtury's victory at Capo d'Oro, and
Omer Pacha remained in Attica waiting for further
orders. Gouras, who had received the chief command
in Eastern Greece,was infact in no little embarrassment,
because he had at the beginning but few troops at his
disposal, and because the troops of Eastern Greece,
which were in the Mores, and on the news of Redschid's
operations, were ordered to defend their own country,
had not yet returned. His chief object, therefore, was
to prevent the junction of the Thessalian corps with
that detached by Redschid ; in this he succeeded, by
occupying the passes in the mountains near Beluza,
where the Turks were surrounded, the greater part
killed or taken, the rest put to flight, and driven back
towards the frontiers of Thessaly. As soon as this was
effected he returned to Desphina, where his main force
was encamped and where the troops of Eastern Greece
had in the meantime arrived from the Morea. Hence
he marched to Kastri, where Redschid's corps sustained
a complete defeat, and Salons was recovered. No
change has taken place in the state of things in Etolia.
The fortresses there are still blockaded. Redschid has
received fresh reinforcements from Albania. In the
Morea discord prevails; the Government is broken up,
Cohduriotti is in Hydra. Colocotroni had caused Prince
Maurocordato to be arrested, with the intention of bay-
ing him brought to trial. Ibrahim Pacha took ad-
vantage of these dissentiens, and was advancing.
