GREEKS AND TURKS.
Since the dreadful massacre of Scio.
the Greeks have evinced new courage,
boldness and perseverance, and appear
resolutely determined to obtain the OBJ
Ject of all their toll and sufGerings, or
perish in the attempt. The bloody
scene enacted by the Turks on the
beautiful Isle of Scio have every where
aroused spirit which will not be allav-
ed till vengeance, ample vengeance, is
inflicted. The ferocious Capt. Pacha,
who acted as principal in that horrid
massacre, exists no longer. |" On the 22d
of June,' says an article from Constan-
tiuople of 26th ofthe same month, 6 the
eve of the feast of Bairam, three Greek
vessels, charged with combustibles, pass
ed the Turkish feet, and under cover
of the friendly flag which they hoisted,
approached the ship of the admiral
The Turks, occupied with preparations
for the feast, paid little attention to the
tire-ships, aud the Greeks had thus time
to throw their fusees on the admiral's
ship, which soon was in flames. Disor-
der Immediately spread among the
crew, and each man tried TO save him
self from the conhagration. The Cap
tain Pacha, half burnt, was transported
to the bIood-stained shores of the Isle of
Scio, which he had atrociously laid
waste, where after an hour of torment.
he expired. Three Turkish vessels
were much damaged, and the rest of
the feet dispersed in different direc-
tions, dreading an attack from the Greek
6re-ships."
Letters from Hamburger and Flanders
state that the war in Thessaly, Epirus
and the Morea is daily becoming more
sanguinary-no quarter is given-a con-
sequence of the excuses of the Turks
at Scio. Letters from Smyrna of the
18th of June announce that the Castle
of Athens had surrendered to the
Greeks. Napoli de Romania, the key
of the Morea, has been taken by the
Christians. Patras was still in the
hands of the Turks. An Austrian ship
had sailed from Scio, loaded with cap
tive Greeks, who had been redeemed
from the Turks by Grecian gentleman
under the protection of Austria He
purchased them from the legitimate
government of the barbarians. The Su-
lots have beaten the Turks near PreYi-
sa-killed 1000 and took 500 prisoners.
A report that the Greeks had DESTROYED
a great part of the Turkish fleet off Cis-
me, is pronounced fabrication, in the
London Traveller of the 30th of June.
A report from Belgrade, states that La
rissa, the capital of Thessaly had been
taken by the Greeks by storm.
The following is given under date of
Aux-la-Chapelle, July.
s g Ninth tl.~ la:tiyn Of the Ivir.9v-
ments which the Ottoman Government
has sent into Wallachia and Moldayia.
the Turkish troops, which will pass the
winter in those provinces, will form an
army of $4,000 men. As to the Boy
ards who were at Constantinople, the
Porte has suddenly removed them TO
Convent twelve leagues off. The or,
ders of the DiVan for the prompt forma-
ton of magazines at Bucharest and Jas
sy are executed with activity. The
news of the disasters suffered by the
feet of the Captain Pacha. and of his
death, is confirmed by commercial let
tiers. These events have produced an
extraordinary sensation at Constantine
pie. The fury of the troops was at lis
height, and fears were entertained for
Pera."
