'GREECE:

EXTRACT FROM THE GREEK CHRONICLE OF MISSOLONOHI,
•P SEPTEMBER 23.

48 For the last few days we hive been constantly te-
ceiving intelligence from all quarters respecting a most
important victory obtained by, our fleet over the two
united fleets of the enemy. The only offici. I news,
however, which we have, is the following extract from a
letter of the Government to the Governor of Western
Greece, A. Mevrocordato. We hope, however, to re-
ceive, without delay, other official intelligence of im-
portance, 'since our fleet is everywhere to be seen near
the enemy, and following all his movements."

EXTRACT FROM A LETTER OF TIIE VENERABLE EXECU-
TIVE BODY, TO A. MAVROCORDATO, GOVERNOR GE-

, -
NERA L OF WESTERN GREECE, DATED SEPT. 5.

Fresh and illustrious exploits gladden our people.
On the ‘29:11 of last month an ably-contested naval en-
gagement took place near Cos and Satalia, and after
severe losses on the part of the enemy, the Greeks ob-
tained the victory. Our brave seamen, belonging to
the fite-ships, destroyed one frigate of Tripoli, with nine
hunched enemies on board, and one brig, with three
hundred. The Captain of the frigate, who was the
Commander of the naval division of Tripoli, desiring to
save himself by flight, fell into the hands of the Greeks,
together with a llimbasi (Captain of one thousand men)
of Mahomet Ali, and they ate still in their power. The
circumstances of this naval engagement are worthy of
observation ; the more so, as the enemy had the advan-
tage in many respects, namely, from the superior num-
ber and force of his vessels, and from the preparations
which he had been making, and even the wind itself fa-
voured him, and yet, notwithstanding all these advan-
tages, he not only could not injure us, but even could
not escape from the fury of our seamen. It is now ap-
parent, from the fear that bas seized on the Turks, that
they are aware that it avails them nothing, if even they
are in full sail, when they are seen by the Greek vessels.
If our vessels only obtain the ammunition required, they
will Affect wonders." ,

Extract of a letter from Malta, dated October*9 :
" The Greek Government issued a Pa oclamation on the
28th of August, commanding all Greek corsairs to ap-
ply for letters of marque, and to be particularly careful
not to molest vessels bearing European flags, without a
just motive, under pain of the most rigorous punishment
that the laws could inflict."

A letter from Zante, of the 29th of September, N.S.
says as follows The old Varvaki, an Ipsariot, 81
)ears of age, left Zante in a vessel of his own for Napoli
di Romania. He is gone to request the Government of
Greece to cede to him the fortress of Navarino, in order
to receive these all the unfortunate families of Ipsara,
and to permit him to build there new houses for their
accommodation. He was going first to Napoli di Mal-
voisia, to visit the different Ipsariot families who have
taken refuge there. He has with him a considerable
sum of money subscribed by the Greeks who are in
Russia, to offer it to the Greek Government, together
with all his own property. At Napoli di Romania, a
private Society has established an ho-pital for three years.
Many Gentlemen have subscribed voluntary annual con-
ti ibutions of 50, 100, and 200 Spanish dollars. Varvaki
has inscribed his name for 1,000 dollars annually ; this
is to la.t till the Greek Government will no longer
need their assistance."

The same letter confirms the visit of Sir F. Adam td
Napoli di Romania, and states that he himself brought
the news of the defeat of the twd Turkish fleets, which
took place at . Cos, on the 10th of September, when the
Africaine, the finest Egyptian vessel, was destroyed,
with a brig of Tunis and many other vessels sunk, and
many transports of different nations takeh. The Greeks
took four persons of high rank prisoners, among whom
was the son of. the Viceroy of Egypt, and the famous
Gibraltar. On the 16th and 18th of September, two
other naval engagements took place, and the.tesult of
both was highly favourable to the Greeks.
On the 28th of September, arrived at Zante an Aus-
ti ian vessel, Captain Stavo, from Constantinople, Odessa,
and Sy i a, which latter place it had left four, days before.
At Spa he saw a Greek vessel which brought dispatches,
stating that the remainder of the Turkish fleet• sailed to.
war ds Samos, but in their way they were met and again
beaten by the Greek fleet, which burnt three other fri-
tates and corvettes, and took several other vessels.—
Toe confirmation of this news was expected from Napoli
di Itomania. General Goura routed the Tut ki in Negro-
pont, and took two Paellas prisoners.
On the 19th of September a etrurier arrived at Zante,
firms Napoli di Romania, who had been sent to. the Go-
vet nment by the venerable and worthy Varvaki, who
brought the confirmation of part of the above news.
Letters from Corfu state that tie Greek army was at
half an hour's distance from Joannina, and all the Greeks
in the neighbourhood were up in arms against the
Turks; that the splendid town of Alta was half burnt
by the Greeks, on entering, and was en the point of
falling into their hands. Gagista, a town at four hours'
distance from Joannina, has taken up aims.
Tke following is an extract of a private letter received
in town from Nlavrocordato. It is dated from the
Prince's 1ie.41 quarters at Lidos itz;, iit Acarnania, Sept.
:—" Our operations against Arta, and the neigh-
bouring districts, have been crowned with the greatest
success. Omer Pacha still continues shut up in his old
position at Carvansara, and it is id vain that we have
made several attempts to induce him to descend into the
plains. In the latter case his•destruction was inevitable;
but whether it is that he has betuir advisers this cam•
paign, or that he anticipated unr plan, instead of ad-
vancing, as I had hoped at the time, and when the
passes were left open, he retired with the whole of his
forces to Carvansara. Now that Iris retreat on Arta is cut
off, it is more titan probable he will endeavour to gain
Nonitza, and this can only be effected by the aid of his
cavalry, in which we are as }et deficient. In the event
of my being able to detach a part of the flotilla at Mis-
solunghi to prevent his crossing the Guiph of Prevesa,
I entertain a confident hope of Iris total destruction."

Gibraltar letters, dated 'October 11, complain. much
of the system the hieuch are pursuing in Spain, of in-
trodncing their manufactures, at little or no duties, to
the great detriment of British manufactures, which have
to pay great duties, and are subject to many unnecessary
restrictions. The accounts from Cadiz, Seville, and the
principal cities of S'ain, represent their markets to be
glutted with French goods. The state of credit in Spain
is very bad, and bills cannot be passed but at a very
great disadvantage. •
A Dutch Journal states, that at some late laces in Gro-
ningen. the victor was a girl of twelve years of age, who
had herself broken in the butte she rode.

Letters are said to have been received from Buenos
Ayres, via Liverpool, of four days later date than the
previous arrivals, stating that BOLIVAR has been de-
feated. The report is, however, not credited on 'Change.

In a preceding column we have given some interest-
ing intelligence from Greece. The Diario di Iloma,
gives, in a letter from Corfu, 80th September, nearly the
same news that was contained in our yesterday's paper,
only it makes ISMAEL GIBRALTAR fall in battle. The
Diario however,adds, that this news wants confirmation.

The Allgemeine Ze?ung of the 26th October, contains
the following article from the Danube:—" Since the
last events in. the Archipelago, the affair of the Greeks
is considered to be decided; and it is affirmed .that a
great Power has expressed itself in their favour in such
a manner, that important events may be expected
in the spring."
