CORFU, OCTOBER to.
The capture of Tripolizza by assault receives colt.'
firmation from every quarter. There were in it 1200
Albanians, who, on an.understanding with the Greeksi
made no resistance whenthey first entered, and.thus
facilitated the capture by the Greeks. The Albanians
were not molested, but went away with their arms.
The remainder of the Turks who persisted in their re-
sistance were put to the sword, with the sole exceps
ti.,n of three families, who were respected. Of these
families, one was that of Rosser Pasha, mil° had been
with the besiegers of Ali Pasha, which happened to
be at Tripolizza, with all its wealth ; another was that
of the Bfy of Corinth and the third that of the Be'►
residing in Tripolizza, which Bey had undertaken to
effect the surrender, in a short time, of Tripolizza, as
well as all the other fortresses of the Morea tiepend•
ing on it for support.. In this fortress of .I.ripAiviz
great wealth vas found, the half of sshich was al-
lotted to the Government, .atia the other half distri-
buted among the soldiers.
Ypsilanti and Cantacuseni immediately proceeded
with a great body of troops against Patrasso. Ypsilanti
caused to be purchase; all the cloth to be t.iund•in
the Islands, and with chic cloth was made 10,000
Greek uniforms, havirig formed a corps, which he
dressed in the same manlier.

The Idriots demanded Isom the .reek Government
the city of Napoli Romania, for their new country,
to be delivered to them when taken from the enemy,
which was granted them. The troops no io *hC
Morea amount in number to 60,000. The Athos of
Epirus go on perfectly well.

between the Suliots and the Tusks, in which the Inv.

defeat, and this mode of treatment, filled with alarm

the Suliots on account of their good treatment. This

CORFU, OCTOB2,IIIIO.—(PRIVATE LETTER)
I lately wrote you an account of what was passing.
At present the affair of the fleet is fully confirmed.--
I received my information from a person who was
patient in Zane*, and saw the engagement with his
own eyes. Twenty-eight Gres k vessels boldly op-
posed themselves to the whole Ottoman fleet; and
the surprise is general that they should dam en-
gage, and succeed in beating it. The person in
question saw a corvette assaulted and taken by-the
Greeks An Algerine brig, having suffered greatly,
fled, and being chased, was wrecked behind the
Island of &lee, at.Chieri ; and of its crew, consisting
of 130 men, only 36 Turks were saved.
-
Tw•o days after this battle, a person came from
the Morea, who affirms that seven Turkish vessels,
pursued by the Greeks, tan ashore on that coast;
and three others were disabled and taken, with. all
their crews.
The following is a picture of the hattle:—On the
9th October, the Turkish fleet, consisting of 73 ves-
sels, large and small, anchored in Zante, and next
day set sail again in an easterly direction. On the
morning of the 11th, a Greek uivision of 28 sessels
made Its appearance from the West. The Zanteots
seeing the Greek fleet, displayed the greatest enthu,
siasm, and began to cry throughout all the streets—.
.4 Success to the Greeks I success to the Cro,s !"
In the meantime, the Greek vessels made all pos-
sible sail towards the East. It seems that they fell
in with the enemy that very night. for the can-
nonading was heard in Zante. On the morning of
the 12th the &mews, hearing distinctly the dis-
charges, and knowing that the engagement was in
the direction of Chieri, the whole population shutting
their shops, and without the exception even of women
or girls, repaired to the mointain of Scopo, whence
the battle was visible, every one being surprised
the tactics displayed by the. Greeks. They distri-
buted their force into two divisiuos, one Of 16 vessels
(the best) which penetrated the centre of the Turkish
Beet, and the other of 12, fought in line. In this
manner they succeeded in detaching from the enetny's
Beet 14 vessels, which were those which were lost qn
the coast of the .Morea and at sea. At sunset the
Turkish Admiral, in consequence of his disasters,
resolved to make for land, and returned to Zante
with 42 sail, and next day there arrived other:l9,
that is in all 61 ships of war; the others were small
vessels, which they Took in Galaxide.
It may be observed that a Greek gun-boat, pur-
suing a Turkish vessel, disabled it, continuing to
cannonade it to the very port of Zante, without the
vessel's being able to do it the smallest injury. This
excited great astonishment in all the spectators, par-
ticularly the English, who expressed great contempt
for the Turks, on account of their cowardice, telling
them they did not desere to live, flying as they did
from boats. They soon ordered them to leave Zante,
telling them they could not petruit them to stay any
longer without causing a rebellion of the people,—
Thus-they were obliged to leave Zante on the 13th.

Letters from Sidney, New South Wales, dated the
25th of July, have been received. Governor MAC.
QUAttarg had just returned from a visit of inspettioft
of the lower colony (Van Dieman's Land), and many
useful and necessary reforms were-expected to result
from the personal view he had taken of its situation.
Among these, none appeared to be more imperiously
called for than the establishment of a separate Court
of Justice at Hobart's-town; the want of which was
severely felt among a population every year rapidly
,increasing by the acquititiou of new settlers;
