The paper mentions the arrival Of the
beautiful American frigaie Constitution,
the first American frigate that ever entered |
our port, accompanied by corvette and
schooner" 1t notices the difficulties 60.
countered by American vessels, in enter
ing the hsrbor, from the distrust produced
by the late catastrophe which had befaNet
the Turkish feet. The following account
is given of that achievement:
On the night of the 18th June, the o.
toman squadron was anchored before Sci.
os. The vessel OF the Captain Pacba, At
the head of the line, was nearly league
distant from the shore. 1t was very richly /
laden with treasure, and contained 1885,
people, including slaves. Two Greek
briggs, copper bottoIned, entered the CHAM
mel /; they were beating in. and the TurEi
took them for vessels making a part o.
their own squadron. At one time they ap
preached so near the Ottoman vessels
that they called them 10 20 farther Cd
ills they at first did and took The diret
ton Of Cbisme, but it was TO avail then
selves better of the wind, and to have ID
appearance, when they again fell upon lh
squadron. OF repeating the same maDee
vre ; they resolved to profit BY The ecs
rity that they inspired. AT one. o'coa
they ret9rned like all arrow--and pro'a
to be two fire ships. One reached The boz
of the admiral's ship, and was faslened!o
it. The other sailed towards the Captain
Bey. which carried the treasure, saa
reached it, but not with the same success. /
la the first ship the Greeks as soon as lneJ
arrived SET fire to it, aud leaped into eo''
with a Iateen sail, lowed by the IRE Snip
which. favored by strong wind, kInaise
in an instant to an immense tlre, "ols
enveloped the admiral's ship. The Greek
seeing il on fire, passed near, and save
themselves, crying, victory. Inc y
cond FIRE ship set the Captain Bey, y!
of the line, on FIRE, but they succeeoea =
extinguishing it promptly, because lnf t.u
ship not having been fastened to the DOW
the wind drove it on shore, where II QUIZ o,s
up. lt.was smoking there until ihs 90 -.

Their the Greeks who manned it were save. ',
One may easily imagine all the e e !,

Of an hour in the midst of the most u',s.
confusion. More than 5000 persons =

The grand admiral did not wlso
