G REECE.

The following is an extract of a letter, dated Zante,
the 28th of November, 1526:
•• I shall now proceed to give you an abstract of the
service which circumstances have enabled me to renders
tbe Greeks with the limited means that were entrusted
to me.—On my arrival in Greece, last May, I perceived
et once that the state of affairs was such ante preclude
the possibility of forming a new corps of regular troops
at that moment. In fact, the loss of Missolonghi bad
produced an universal discouragement ; the magazines
were errpty, so was the treasury, and the regular
troops were on the point of disbanding for want
of pay and provisions. Fortunately, the enemy was
Weak also. Under these circumstances, my first care
was to replenish the magaz nes of Napoli, and to
give to Colonel Fabviet the means requisite to ena-
ble him to maintain and reorganise Iris corps.
I then provided for the defence of Hydra, that bulwark
of Greece, (which was threatened with a very fotmi-
dable attack), by throwing into it a garrison of irregular
troops (exclusive of Fabvier 's corps),and furnishing them
with pay and provisions for the space of two months,
until the danger was past. This measure had the effect
'of raising the spirits of those brave islanders, and like-
i:e of inducing the Spezziotes to go thither with their
families and fleet, thus forming one community out of
the two. I next turned my attention to other points;
fully victualled the fortress of Carabusa, in Crete, and
sent supplies to General Colocotroni, to the troops of
•Gastouni, and to the army of Roumelia. At different
times I have shipped off from Zante more than one
million two hundred thousand lbs. of fl .ur and biscuit.
I have still a portion on hand, which I propose to for-
ward in small quantities, according to emergencies;
and I am happy to say, that at the present moment
there is in this port a whole squadron sent by the Eu
ropean Committees and loaded with necessary supplies
for Napoli. For the last month I have had a vessel of
my own ready here, and only wait for a fair wind to
return to Greece, in order to see whether, with my
private means, I can put into execution my original
project (for which winter is the most favourable season),
in concert with the brave Colonel Fabvier, whom I am
now proud to call my friend. This Officer, although
hitherto net very successful, owing to circumstances
beyofid his contioul, is a treasure to Greece, if they
make use of him rightly. His corps, though not so
numerous as at first, is much fitter for service (as it
proved at Athens), and he has been able to gain the
attachment and confidence of his officers and soldiers.
The Greek fleet, if its achievements have not appeared
so brilliant as on some former occasions, has, neverthe-
less, shewn more zeal, courage, and perseverance than
ever it did before; neither have the Turks ever made
a more inglorious naval campaign. I attribute this,
in a great measure, to the hope of Lord Coch-
rane's arrival, which will, when it takes place, be the
most important of all possible events for Greece. Should
he have but a frigate and a steam vessel, the enthusiasm
that his name will create, and the confidence that the
Greeks have in him, ensure his success, I cannot say
enough in praise of the different European Committees,
who have been continually sending the most necessary
supplies. Strange that England alone should be dead to
such a cause ! All we want here is bread, powder, lead,
and a little money from time to time. Fabvier is supported
by the French Philbelleues.
