AFFAIRS OF GREECE.

EXTRACT OP A PRIVATE LITTER PROM LEORORN,
DATED szrenuaza 10.
" A passenger who sailed in the last vessel which
has left this port for the Morea, writes; that the Turks,
besieged in the fortress of Monambasia, offered to
capitulate, proposing to leave their arms, baggage,
and ammunition, on condition of their lives and
liberty being guaranteed to them. The Greeks, more
humane than their enemies, agreed to these terms,
and the convention has been executed. There were
found in the fortress 20,000 muskets and a quantity
of ammunition. The Turks thanks to the Provisional
Government, have been better treated than they ea-1
pected. Famine and disease rage in all the other
forts, and they cannot hold out long. The destruc-
tion of the second Turkish fleet is an event of great
importance, and its relations are so multiplied that
new results daily follow from it. Two vessels which
left Constantinople on the 19th arrived here to-day.
They report, that off Corona they spoke to Captain
Cercowick, bound to Genoa, who told them that two
Greek vessels, which boarded him, had informed him,
of the total destruction of the Turkish fleet. This
fleet, after losing eight vessels in the battle of Samos,i
toak refuge between Cos and Rhodes, where the
Greeks again attacked and destroyed it entirely, with ,
the exception of a ship of the line and two frigates, in
chase of which they were left. These vessels confirmed
the report of the massacre at Constantinople, in con-
sequence of .this news becoming known there."
FRAGMENT OF ANOTHER LETTER, TO M. J. AT PARIS,
DATED LEOHORN, SEPTEMBER 15.
" According to lettters direct from the Morea,
and which reach to the 25d of August, the principal
leaders of the Greeks have succeeded in introducing,
both into the civil and military departments, the wished
for order; in consequence of which affairs are now
taking a most favourable turn. The leaders chiefly
I congratulate themselvet on haying succeeded in mi-
tigating that spirit of reprisal which the cruelties of
the Turks had, in fact, rendered excusable, but which
was, nevertheless, injurious to the interests of the
Greeks. The difficulty of checking this spirit was
the greater, as the Greeks, besides the ages of oppres-
sion which they had to avenge on their barbarous op-
pressors, were exasperated to a degree difficult to be
conceived, by the recent atrocities committed by the
Turks, in cold blood, on unarmed men and women,i
and in particular on the Patriarch, the Synod, and
I the Clergy. Those who know how strongly the Greeks'
are attached to their religion, and the strictness of
their manners, are alone capable of judging of the
tact which the barbarities of the Mussulmans could
sot fail to produce on the minds of this people.
The Turks of Monambasia, who have surrendered
their fortress, were struck with the calm firmness
which the Greeks displayed in their conferences. The
following are the terms of the capitulation :
• 1. The Turks shall surrender their arms, with all the mu-
ddies of war.
6 I. Taw who wish to range in the country, shall conform
Su the lows of the conquerors.
• 5. Those who desire to leave the country AA be safely
usaveyed to Pape
64 In this fortress, which is one of the strongest in
the Morea, the Greeks have found snore than nine
thousand stand of fire-arms, and a great quantity of
munitions of war."
The same letters state that the nephew of Princp
Caraza, Alexander Mavocordato, who had arrived
from Messolongi, the capital of Etolia, has been sent
by the Central Government to command 'Etolia,
Acarnania, and Epirus. Cyrill Liverius was in the
same manner, two months ago, appointed to the.
command of Attica, Beotia, and Phocida. Li.
verius is descended from one of the most distinguished
families of Phocida, by members of which the func-
tions of Primate of that province have for more than
a century been discharged. He was, therefore, of too
much importance in the country to escape the peno.,
cutions of Ali Pacha. In consequence of these per.
secutions, Liverius repaired to Europe, where he re-
sided during seven years.

The Milan Gazelle of the 18th ult. containsan edict,
by which Count Louis Porro, son of the Marquis
George Porto Lamberteughi, is required to appear
within sixty days before the Royal and Imperial Com-
mission of Venice, in order to defend himself against
the charge of High Treason imputed to him. Count
Porro is accused of having been a party in a plot to
overthrow the Austrian Government.

A letter, in the French Papers, from hfarsala, in
Sicily, states, that six slaves at Tunis lately formed
and successfully executed a plan for robbing the Dey
of his own arms, which are of exquisite workman-
ship and great value.; They embarked on board a
small vessel, and stood for Sicily. The Dey having
discovered the robbery, sent one of his Corsairs after
them, but which did not come up with the fugitives
until they had got within the range of the Sicilian
batteries. Both vessels entered the port of Marsala
together, where they are put under quarantine. The
Magistrates of Marsala have thus time to consider
what they should do in this case.
A Physician of Madrid, who is said to have made
the ,yellow fever the object of his study for twenty
years, has published a letter agairisr the measures of
precaution adopted by the Government. He observes,
that the fears which these measures excite, the want
of care experienced by the sick who are abandoned,
and the famine which follows the suspension of all
communication with a town, are all circumstances
which extend the ravages of the fever to those who
Would otherwise have resisted the contagion. He
advises the cleaning of the places where the disease
prevails, and the allowing persons not affected to
remove to healthy districts.
A letter from Edinburgh, dated September 28, says,
..J4 At no time has water been so scarce here, if we
except the summer of 1814 ; and never, in the recol-
lection of its inhabitants, did we experience so, dry a
winter as the last; the consequence has been, that the
delivery of water into the city has declined from be-
tween 900 and 1000 pints per minute, to less than
four hundred."
Saturday last, the Magistrates and Council of Mom.
trose were served with a summons of reduction anent
the set of the Burgh, on the ground of the Crown
having exceeded its powers in the granting thereof;
which summons also charges the Officers of State as
a party, and cites all. concerned to appear in the Su-
preme Ceurt on the 13th of !Dabber. The summons
bears to be raised at the instance of JOHN MILL, flax.
dresser, DAVID roam, fish-cuter, and others.
