The int lligence in these papers is somewhat in
teresling. The Greeks have succeeded in destroy.
ing the Turkish i1eet commanded by the Captain
Pacha, who persisted by the fire ships, which the
patriots sent among his squadron while the Mussel-
men were celebrating the feast of Ramadam. Some
of the London papers, on the first receipt of this
news, regarded it as fabrication, got up for the
purposes of stockjobbing But accounts having been
received at I.oyd's, mentioned.in. the Liverpool
Mercury of the Cd of August, confirming the pre-
vious intelligence. no doubt remains of the fact
The advices from Consantinople, in which this
successful attack of the Greeks was detailed, add
that ''affars The Morea assume dismal aspect
for the Porte" The tide OF success, which has hlth.
ero borne the patriots OF Greece through the On
paralleed struggle with their merciess oppressors,
seems to warrant the expectation, that even without
the aid of Russia, they will be able to maintain their
independence. He would be unworthy of the name
of freeman who could desire any other result.

Captain Pacha that ferocious mussulman, whit
