TRIESTE, SEPT. io.

After a long interruption we have received accounts
direct from Smyrna, of the 13th of August.
The Capitan Yucha had quitted his station off Mity-
lene on the 9th, and on the 11th he appeared off Samos.
The Creek fleet followed him at a certain distance.

A Tut kis!' army of 40,000 men is assembled at Scala
Isluova, ready to act according to the orders of the
Capitan l'.►cha. All the population of Samos is under
arms: the central Government has promised assistance.
Aue,,r4burg Gazette.
The Ltuile contains a long letter, giving an account
of Samos. The writer says, that some merchants at
Samos, who had served in Russia, had introduced the
European discipline with great success. The proximity
of the island to the Continent tenders it easy to land in
several places at once ; but the difficulty of penetrating
into the interior is very great. The harbour is long and
very narrow, defended on each side by batteries, the
guns of which carry from side to side. The Capitan
Paella could never enter: a couple of fire-ships might
destroy his whole fleet, without his being able to defend
himself. The number of troops assembled at Scala Nuova
is certainly far from amounting to 40,000 men; for
20,000 could not subsist there fora fortnight, the country
being laid waste,, partly by the frequent incursions of
the Simians, partly by the Turkish soldiers themselves.
It may be that the Turkish Chiefs make their lists
amount to 40,000 men ; but as the Turks enlist only in
the hope of plunder, most of them who have gorged
themselves with pillage on the road, return home long
before they have reached their destination ; and we may
be sure that those who arrive with their Officers have
only followed them because they have not got booty
enough on the route. They do not fear being punished
for desertion, their enlisting being voluntary, and the
term nearly left to the soldiers own pleasure.
" There is therefore more teason to hope than to fear
from an attack on Samos ; and I am persuaded that the
Samians will resist with as much courage as the Ipsa-
riots, and with much greater chance of success ; but a
reverse experienced by the Turks in attacking this island
Will be fatal to the few Greeks remaining in Asia Minor.

The Turks will set no bounds to their revenge, and even
Smyrna may feel the eirects of this disaster. There are
about 7000 men well -disciplined, and inured by the de-
scents on the Continent."
EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER FROM ZANTE, AUG. 20.
" It is confirmed that Dervisch Pacha has been de-
feated in Livadia. His plan WAS to effect a Junction
with the Turkish troops of Negropont, and from there
go towards Corinth to make a diversion in favour of
the Egyptian expedition, which, under the command of
Ibrahim Pacha, was to land on the western part of the
Peloponnesus. This plan has been broken up. The
Egyptian fleet has left Alexandria, having on board
10,000 troops. The transports are either Austrian or
Spanish vessels ; the English and French Captains refused
the advantageous.offers made them by Mehemed Ali
Pacha, to engage in this service. The Greek fleet has
been divided into two diiisions—one to look after the
Captain Pacha, On the coast of Asia Minor, the other to
meet the Egyptian fleet.
The Government has taken precautions to prevent
:ay evil from the landing to be attempted from the lat-
ter on the coasts of the Peloponnesus ; 8,000 men are
collected in the plain of Gastouric, 3,000 are going,
nyder the command of London, to reinforce the army
before Patras. These twe corps can easily act together,
not being far apart; 4,000 men occupy the strong po-
sitions between Ccron and Modon. The commandant of
the NI ainotes, with 3,000 men, is marching on Phocides."
