14°2 CIALIONANI'S MUSENGER.

MADRID, OCTOBER it.
Several intendants of the police in the provinces have
been deposed, becatito their political principles do not
accord with the Ultra system, to which it is sought to
give the ascendancy.
Never were the intrigues of the high party and the
moderate, to overthrow each other, more active than at
present. The former employs all the means in its power
to throw discredit on the second, particularly in the pro-
vinces, where it esercises great influence, and is sup-
ported by the bayonets of the Royalist volunteers. The
other party, which is only supported by the Diplomatic
Body, appears to assume an imposing attitude, and
some hopes are entertained of its triumphing over the

GREECE.

SCLO, SEPTEMLIEIt 17.
The llth of this month, the Greek squadron, to the
number of seventy sail, appeared before Stanzhio, with
a dozen fire-ships, which it launched a. o ire against the
vessels of the Capita+) Pacha, which acre drawn up in
two separate hues. Two of these lite-ships weie parti-
cularly directed against the Admiral's ship, where con-
fusion and terror were beginning to spread, when tia o
frigates coming forward, opened a heavy cannonade,
upon the two fit-e-ships, and succeeded in destroying
them. Those that were sent againct the remainder of
the Capitaa Pncha's squadron did no mi ,chief. • Fo it
others sent against the Egyptian srluad.oii were al
kept off by the artillery of the ships of war; but it ap-
pears that they succeeded in reaching some ve•sels of
me convoy, for .1 pretty violent explosion that was
heard in the midst of the action proved that some one
of them had caught fire, and blown up. The Greeks
have affirmed that it was an Egyptian frigate that was
blown up ; but the Captain of the Amaranth, who vas
'very .near the several squadrons, and distinctly heard
the explosion, has affirmed that the report would have
been louder if it had really been a frigate. He is per-
suaded that it was a tran,port that was overtaken by
the fire-ships.
Letters from Prevesa of the 7th, 11th, and 15th of
September announce that the civil war still continued in
Albania, where Selictar -Roda has collected as' marry
troops as his enemies, and where there were actions,
every day. The environs of Joannina are the theatre
of continual robberies, as well by the Turks as the
Greeks. A hundred and fifty horsemen, of the corps
called Dely, destined to join Jussuf Pacha, had arrived
at Prevesa. The Greeks, under the command of Capt.
Mango, have advanced into the territory of Arta, so as
to interrupt all the communications of. that place. Omer
Pacha left his nephew, Achmet, with 500 men, in his
camp of Carvassari, in Acarnania, and advanced with
2.000 men to raise the blockade of Arta. He went to
Vrachoti, where he surprised some Greeks at workin
the fields, killed 15, and carried off 20 women. He
returned to Carvassari. The Greek troops, who were
three hours' march from Vrachori;did not name. •
The Greeks of Misselonghi have written to Captain
Karnakioti, a deserter from their cause, and now a
partisan of Omer Pacha, that the plans( of the Ottoman
thavernment were totally defeated, that the Turks were
everywhere beaten, and that the expedition of the
Pacha of Egypt was partly destroyed—that, in short,
it was fitting that he should think of making reparation
for his faults, by rendering some service to his country.
This letter fell into the hands of Omer Pacha, and has
greatly lessened his confidence in Karnakioti, who has
found it very, difficult to recover his good graces. .
