rally attributed to body of Turkish troops
that had been collected in the interior, which
took the city in their route for the Morea,
their original destination. Suchwas the alarm,
that every vessel lying in the harbor was ra-
pidly filed by the fugitives, and n great num-
Der who could not obtain that asylum, rather
trusted themselves 10 open boats on the ocean,
than lay themselves open 10 the scimitars of
those mercilesS barbarians. Al. business was
of course suspended aud every bazor closed.
The day previous to the Torpedo's sailing, IA
pashaw fortunately arrived whose FIRST mca-
sure was ordering The troops from tire city to
the Castle of Smyrna, and placing the city in
such q posture ofsafety, as to permit business
to re commence, the Greeks having been pre-
viously disarmed. The British sloop of war
Spy, in passing the Castle, bound in, had n
volley of musketry fired into her from the
Fort, which the commander prudently did
not notice at the time-fearing the effects it
might produce in the city. No Greek is per-
United TO leave the city, and all vessels previ-
Gus to sailing are searched, and any Greek
found on board, taken on shore. We were in

hood ofHino, where we saw the Grecian pa
triot flag flying, were under similar colours

Greeks, and the remnant ola numerous crew,
shared the same fate. We were further m
formed, that the Greeks had captured 1000
Turks, principally soldiers houndto the Morea,
every man OF whom was numerically slaugh-
tered. Most of the Grecian fleet had rem
6ezyoused AT the Darianelles to watch the mo
tons of the Turkish squadron.
-Four Turkish ships of war were blockaded
by the Greeks in the harbor of Preveya, on
the Morca.
