The French Papers of Sunday bring the glorious
intelligence of a signal victory gained by the Greeks
or,-er the Turks. According to this account, CHOURS•
CHID PACHA, having joined the Pachas of Negro-
ponte, Larissa, and Janina, advanced with an army
(that is to say, an undisciplined rabble, as all Turkish
crrnies are), 90,000 strong, agairst the Greeks, who
A% ere e,:mmandeJ by ODYSSEUS or ULYSSES, YPSI-
LANTI, NORMANN, and BAZARIS. On the 7th he
gained considerable advantages over the Greeks, and
ODYSSEUS lost his life ; but having allowed himself
to be drawn into defiles, he was routed next day with
immense loss. CHOURSCHID escaped with the wreck
of his force, and the other three Pachas were made
prisoners. The following are the details:

CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY 26.
The G;eeks are in the height of joy. Three Tartan
have a .uounced that Chourschid Pacha, who had
called to arms all the inhabitants of Macedonia, to the
number 1,1. seventy thousand had done great teats.—
He repulsed the Greeks on the 7th of July; but on
the day after he suffered a total defeat. It is said
that four of the Packac were made prisoners ; but the
Porte conceals from all the Foreign Ministers the
dispatches which it has received.
Cbourschid Pacha was joined by the Paellas of
Negroponte, of Larissa, and of Janina. His forces
were estimated at 70,000 men, but a great part was
but an undisciplined militia and brigands. The
Greeks were commanded by the brave Odysseus, by
the Generals Ypsilanti, Normann, and Bazzaris.
Chourschid Pasha, who hnd sent to the Porte a
Tartar to announce the extermination of the Giaours,
was engaged imprudently in the defiles of Zittury
(Thermopylx) at one side, and by those of Neopatric
on the other.

The Greeks had formed an ambuscade, and com-
menced the battle with the courage of true Spartans.
The three P.tchas were made prisoners, and Chours-
chid Pacha saved himself, with 4000 men, on the
side of Larissa. The loss of the Ottomans is com-
puted at r,0,630 men, that of the Greeks at 18,000.—
The consequences of this event are likely to be most
important. The General Count Normann was sa-
luted by the Greeks as the heroic Prince, and they
carried him on their shoulders through the camp.

This intelligence is copied from the Augsburg Ga-
zette ; and the Editor of the Journal des Debats ob-
serves, that it " wants much to be confirmed and
explained. There are many circumstances in the
number of troops, the account of loss, and the line
of march, which excite many doubts as to the authen-
ticity of this document."
That doubts may justly be entertained as to the
extent of this victory, we will admit; but we have
strong reasons for believing that the Turks have sus-
tained a signal defeat. We yesterday stated, on the
authority of lettcrsfrom Constantinople, that CHOURS-
CHID PACIIA, with an army of 80,000 men, had de-
feated the Greeks; and the intelligence, though re-
ceived through the German Journals, mentions that
the Greeks were repulsed on the first day, but that
on the day after the Turkish army was overthrown.

In confirmation of this account, there are letters in
tov.,n from Vienna to the 15th instant, which state
that 4. A letter had just been received there, by an
eminent Banker, from Zenona, dated on the 31st of
July, by which it appears, that Chourschid Pacha
had endeavouted to penetrate into Thessaly, at the
head of an army, amounting to nearly 60,000 men.
It also states, that the Grecian General, Ulysses,
ith 18,000 Greeks, after retreating to a proper posi-
tion, fought a battle, and gained a great victory
seven thousand Turks, amongst whom were three
Paellas, were made prisoners, and a still greater
number is represented to have fallen in the battle and
in the pursuit. The Greek General was slain, and
Chourschid Pacha was reported to be one of the
three Pachas made prisoners."
Should this victory be but to one half the extent it
is reported, it will have the happiest effect on the
cause of the Greeks, in the new courage which it will
infuse into their ranks and the terror it will strike
among the Tulks, whose very superstitions will aid
their overthrow. To be able thus to defeat the Turks
by sea and by land without the slightest aid from
any foreign Power, is a proof that the cause of the
Creeks is by no means so hopeiets, nor the prospect
of complete independence so distant as has been re-
