i1 t. GREECE md TUREkY.
With regard to the Greeks, The most
cheering intelligence continues to be re-
ceived. The official Journal OF the
Greek Central Government at Calamaia,
states, that authentic letters from Galax-
mi. Of the 10Th September, confirm the
complete defeat near Thermopylae, OF
the Turkish army, marching against Bo-
eta and the Pelopennesus, four Pachas
commanded that army. One died at
Larissa before the battle. and his troops
dispersed. The three others continued
their march with 5000 men to Zaouni,
and thence to l'hermopylae. They bi,
vouacked near the village of Mo'os, and
reconnoitered the position oi the Greeks
with 800 men. The Greeks attacked
thcm>as a disadvantage, and slew them
all except 60. The next day The Turk
ish army advanced en- masSe, and endsav.
ored to force the lines of the Greeks and
| to pass on to 'rhermepylae, but they en-
countered vigorous resistance The
fighting was hand to hand, and the
Greeks remained conquerors. More
than 1900 Greeks have been Killed.
The Greeks have taken SEQ carriages ot
provisions, seven cannon, much amnu.
nit;on, IL colors, many horses, &c. 'ss : =.
Accounts from I'rest of the 2f ol
Nov. also contain the details of ,nava
engagement between the Greeks and tht
Turks. in which the latter were totally
defeated. 1t appears that botI' parties
had been preparing for some time Tor the
contest. The Grecian force is not men
toned; but, in an article, dated Zapte
IOct. 9th, it is stated, that the Turkish
feet, Joined by the squadron from r.
! gypt, amounted to upwards OF 60 sail
including four line OF battle ahips I he
engagement is stated to have asitd ll,res
DAYS, from the 9Th to the Goth Oct
! and that the defeat Of the Ouomans was
complete. q.
In the London Courier OF the Sd Dec
we find it stated, on the authority O! pri
vate letters, dated Cons,antinope,. Oct
2sth, that on the day preceding com.
munication had been made "by the
Turkish Government to the Foreigr
Ambassadors, OF the total defeat Of the
Greek Acct, which took place i'll the Bay
Of Kolothya." We do not think this
latter statement entitled TO any credit
We have opposed to it accounts, from
various quarters, all concurring in ascri-
bing the victory to the Greeks. .:
Recent letters from Malta, announce
the destruction OF the Tunisian feet, of
Tunis, in gale, Of wind, when, j is said
