Notwithstanding the exertions of the different squad•
cons in the Archipelago, to suppress piracy among the
Greeks, we are sorry to find that these exertions are,
as yet, without effect. The following letter, with which
we have been favoured by an eminent merchant in the
City, gives another instance of piracy committed on the
British flag:

EXTRACT Or A LETTER, DATED SMYRNA, JULY 2t, 1826.
'" The Skylark, Captain DAVIS, arrived yesterday
from London, and Napoli di Romania, where shelanded
her guns and other warlike stores for the Greek! ; she
remained there nearly a month. The Captain repre-
sents the affairs at Napoli di Romania to be in a state
of confusion and anarchy. The Greek Government, as
a few self-elected Greeks call themselves, have locked
themselves up in the small castle on the Island facing
the town.

" Some RomeliotChiefs have got possession of the larger
Castle on the heights, and the inhabitants of the town,
placed thus between two conflicting factions, are exposed
to the excesses and ravages of the troops under Cotb-
noTno:st, who is treating with both parties for a partial
occupation of both Castles, and threatens to attack both
of them, unless they agree to his terms._
" Before Capt. DAVIS came away, the greater part of
the gun carriages, which were lately brought out from
England, had been cut up for tire wood, the guns lying
half buried in the sand on the beach ! They offered to
sell them, and said they did not want guns from the
English, but money only ! Every thing shews the cause
is at an end, and there is not a spark of patriotism in
the hearts of any of the Greeks.
" Capt. Davis came away from Napoli di Romania
on Monday, the 17r1t of July, and on Thursday moon-
log, the '2oth inst. he was attacked in the Stiaits
of Silota, in a calm, by seven mystics, armed and
manned with about fifty men each, who robbed the'
vessel of All the Captain's private adventures to the
extent of abdut 2001. Several commissions which he
had executed for different friends here, to the amount
of about 2004 more, all the. ship's provisions, stores,
nearly all her sills, the Captain's, Mate's, and men's
clothes, leaving them merely their trousers, and in
some cases (but not in all) a shirt on their backs!
Shoe., stockingi, and everyth•ng, in fact, taken. They
lived two days on some potatoes, the pirates had ac-
ciden!ally left behind then', and then fell in luckily
with an American ship of war, which gave them pro-
visions enough to last to Smyrna.''
