Yesterday, at eleven o'clock in the forenoon, the
Royal George steam packet, with,Captaiii Lord boss-
ram, beating the original official dispatches of the
battle of Navarin, from Adritual Sir EDW. CODRlNG-
ariived at Dover from Calais. Lord Inozsvara
was detained three days in quarantine at Ancona, and
would possibly have remained uader•restraint several
days more, lard not :he Pore, on a representation from
his Lordsbiiiiteued a mandate for his immediate re-
lease. His Lordship travelled most rapidly over the
Siloplon by Geneva, seven days only being occupied in
his journey fkom Ancona to Dover. From the unfl-
Towable state of the tide, and the packet being obliged
to bring-to in Dover Bay instead of entering the har-
bour, some delay unavoidably took plate in landing
Lotd. INOISTRIZ.II carriage, though every aid was given
by the officers of the Customs' Department to accelerate
the operation. His Lordship, nevertheless, left the Ship
inn before one o'clock, and arrived at the Admiralty
last night at ten o'clock.
When his Lordship arrived at Ancona he was placed
in the Lazaretto, for the performance of quarantine.
The dispatches were opened and fumigated, sent so
England by CoNem, the Italian Messenger, and since
published in the Extraordinary Gazette of Saturday;
and not a syllable more has transpired than what was
known by these dispatches.
Lord Islam-ass set off this morning to Woolwich, to
pay his respects to the LORD HIGH ADMIRAL, who had

The following article from Corfu, extracted from the
German Papers received this morning, gives, we fear,
but too true an account of the dreadful ravages com-
mitted by IBRAHIM PACHA on the unhappy Greeks in
the Morea

CORFU, Ocr. It
1801[ THE LATTER 01 A GREEK.

The threat made by the Porte on receipt of the treaty
of the 6th July, that every armed -interference in the'
affairs of Greece would fall in its object, and lead to a
greater effusion of blood, appears to it eallf carrying
into effect. After the failure of his attempt to leave
the port of Nayarit', Ibrahim Pacba has marched against
Maina, and committed on the way the most frightful
devastation: 15,000 infantry and 800 cavally scour
the Peninsula with cries of'" Down with the Infidel:l"
and immediately execute the threat implied in this cry
whenever an unhappy victim falls in their hands: in-
stant submission alone can avert death. I know not whe-
ther the promised moderation of the Christian powers, or
this overpowering force of the barbarians is the moat
fatal to the Greeks; we only see, that ever since the an;
nouncement cf the armed mediation, the distress of our
unhappy nation has been increasing. All interference
in favour of the Greek cause is vain, unless an end be-
put to the effusion of blood; and who can now save tl.e
Greeks from destruction, when Ibrahim, with a large
force, traverses and lays waste the whole country with-
out opposition?

ANCONA, On. 23.
