%F.DNESDAT EVEXtNG, OCTOBER 3, 1821.

Paris journals of Saturday and Sunday reached us
this day, at the moment when our paper was going to
press. According to letters front Trieste of the 14th
Srptetnber, there had been a decisive action between
the Ottoman Fleet. (reinforced by the vessels sent
from Egypt.) and the Fleet of the Greeks. This
engagement took place off Rhodes. A sobseqoent
adcottut from Genoa confirms this intelligence only in
part, and states that the Turkish fleet bad been very
roughly handled, and hat lost several transports,
which had been taken or burnt, but that the principal r
part of the fleet had gained the port of Rhodes, where
it MIS closely blockaded. From Augsbonrg it is
stated, that they write from the banks of the Danube,
of the date of the 15th ult. th it the Greeks had
ahtainei some advantages in the Morel, but that
theirdisunion was lamentable. Tripolitza and two forts
had surrendered to the Greeks, but Preveza and Co-
rinth were still in the hands of the Turks. Fatras and
other fortresses• cocaina, to defend themselves. The
Turks have evacuated Thessalia. 'fhb: article sub.
