of the first class, has been attacked by the Greek
squadron of 20 vessels. The Greeks succeeded
in burning two ships of the line, two frigates,
one corvette, three briggs and four gun boats

Scmlia, Nay 20.--The post from Saonichi
and Sores from Belgrade, has brought accounts
very uniavorabe to TIE Greeks. The Pacha Of
Salouichi had received reinforcements, and de-
teated the Greeks near Terrizza. After this he
fell upon 80 Greek villages, and carried away
the women and children as slaves. The Chris
tians at Solonich have purchased many of these
unfortunate persons for three or four piastres, in
order to rescue them from the wretched fate
that awaited them.
