ordieary ; and I shall perhaps he asked whether 1
take no account of the united forces of the Ottoman
empire, of the Asiatic troops daily arriving at Cow
stantinople, and if I expect that the immense Turkish
empire will be overthrown hr the efforts of a dispersed
people, who are destitute of resources, and whom many
persons affect to call rehels. lint I shall reply to these
objections in another letter. In the mean time the
following is the news we have here:— _ _ _

has left this port for the Alorea, writes, that the Turks.
besieged in the fortress of Monambasia, offered to ca-
pitulate, proposing. to leave their anus, balgage, 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 2J,000 muskets and a quantity of ammu-
nition. The Turks, thanks to the provisional Govern-
ment, have been better treated than they expo cted.
Famine and disease rage in all the other forts, and
they cannot hold out long. The destruction of the
second Turkish fleet is ac event of great importance,
and its relations are so multiplied that new results
daily follow from it. Two vessels which left Constan-
tinople on the 19th arrived here to-day. They report
that off Corona they spoke to Capt. Cercowiek, bound
to Genoa, who told th. In that two Greek vessels, which
boarded him, had informed hint of the total destruc-
tion of the Turkish fleet. This fleet, after losing eight
vessels in the battle of Satnos, took refuge between
Cos and Rhodes, where the Greeks again attacked and
destroyed it entirely, with the exception of a ship of
the line and ewe frigates, in chase of which they were
left. These vessels confirmed the report of the mas-
sacze at Constantinopie, in consequence of this news
becoming known there."

FRAGMENT OP ANOTHER LETTER, TO M. J., PARIS.
DATED LEGHORN, SEPT. 15.

" According to letters direct from the Mores, and
which reach to the 231 of August, the principal lead-
ers of the Greeks have succeeded io 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 congratu-
late themselves in having succeeded in mitigating that
spirit of reprisal which the cruelties of the 'forks hail
in fact rendered excusable, but which was, neverthe-
less, injurious to the interests of the Greeks. The dif-
ficttlty of checking this spirit was the greater, as the
Greeks, besides the ages of oppression which they had
to avenge on their barbarous oppressors, were mope•
rated to a degree difficult to be conceived, by the re-
cent atrocities comm.tio by the Turks, in cold blow!,
on unarmed men and .omen; and in particular on the
Patriarch, the Synod, and the clergy. Those who
know how strongly the Greeks ate attached to their re-
ligion, and the strictuess of their manners, are alone
capable of judging of the effect which the barbarities
of Mussulmans could not fail to produce on the hinds
of this people.

their fortress, were struck with the calm firoanvi
