ANCONA, NOVEMBER 23.

An inhabitant of Missolongi, arrived at Corfu, hay
brought, among other things, the following;
" A Turkish vessel going from Prevesa to Patras,
with 160 Albanians, and 3,000,000 piastres, was be-
calmed at a short distance from Missolongi. The
Greeks immediately sent a polacre and galliot, which
made themselves masters of the vessel; and the Al-
banians, who had taken refuge in the small Wand of
Vasilada, were all killed, with the exception of 15.
The money captured does not belong to the Greek
Government, but to the captors.

4' When Omar Pacha had taken Souli, and Cap-
tain Varnakeoti had come to him, he wrote to all the
Captains of the Epitots, that be was not at war with
them—that he regarded them as his brothers—had
no other object than to pass into the Morea, and that
he demanded to be allowed to pass with 6000 men.
The Epirot Chiefs consented, and replied in flatter-
ing terms; but they immediately drew a reinforce-
ment of 2000 men from the Eastern Provinces, un-
der the command of Captain Gina. Omar Pacha
began his march, sending forward an advanced guard
of 2000 men; but they had hardly passed the Aspro,
Iwhen the Greeks fell on them from an ambuscade,

arid destroyed them entirely, with -the exception otl
some fugitives drowned in the Aspro. When Omar
heard of this he returned without loss of time to Arta
with his army."

EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER PROM THE SAME.
4, The 'latest news received from the lonian Islands
is of the 10th November. According to it, the two
Pachas commanding in Albania and Epirus, Omar
and Mehmed, are acting on the offensive in Acar-
nania and Etolia. Mehmed Pacha put himself in
motion on the 20th of October for Missolongi. The
Greeks allowed him to advance beyond the Achelous
without offering any resistance. Omar Pacha, en-
couraged by this example, afterwards set out from
Arta in the same direction ; but he was attacked in
passing the Achelous by the Greeks, and routed.
Letters from Corfu make his loss amount to 3000
men. If the latest news from this island is correct,
the Albanian army is in a very bad position, and is
divided.

" Omar Pacha, according to the same intelligence,
had disagreed with Chourschid Pacha, his Comman-
der-in-Chief. The English Consul at Prevesa set out,
towards the end of October, for Larissa, with the in-
tention of reconciling these two Pachas, whose quar-
rels may have disastrous consequences for the Turks.
The Greeks coming from the southern provinces
of Russia continue to pass through the territories of
the Pope. Those amongst them who have exhausted
their means by this long journey, are maintained and
embarked at the expense of the Holy Father. These
are the only succours which the Greeks have obtained
as Christ ia ns."

cipal port for foreign commerce, shall receive a new
organization—that the free stores which were allowed
to be erected at Valparaiso by the Decree of the 20:h

to the bay ; and that, consequently, the provisions of
that Decree are annulled—that foreign goods, on being
landed on the coast, shall be considered in the same
light as if they were already carried into the interior
of the country, and accordingly liable to all the duties
—that, until the promulgation of the new law, all
vessels may retain on board any part of their cargo,
and may unload and reship as often as they please)
without paying more than once the transit duty of
two per cent.—that all goods and merchandise depo-
sited in the Custom-house or private warehouses at
Valparaiso shall be completely cleared out by the Ist

new regulations carried into effect—that merchants
who have goods deposited in the Custom-house of
Valparaiso may transmit them to Santiago before,
the Ist of October, and pay the duties there—that,
until the same date, all kinds of merchandise already
entered at Valparaiso may be removed to Santiago,
without paying farther duty, and without any other
condition than the corresponding cocket—that all
cargoes remaining in the Custom-house, or ip private
warehouses, atValparaiso, on the 20th of September,
without being disposed of, shall be reshipped.
