LIE INTELLIGENCE FRO VI GREECE
The increasing interest, which is taken in
the affairs ofthe Greeks makes il desirable to
correct the unfavOrabie impressions, which
may have been produced by The late extracts
from the Smyrna Oriental paper.
lsi. In your paper of yesterday. under date
of Smyrna, Sept. %, we learn that the Pacha
of Scutari was at SaIona. u strong town in
LavadIa. The hopes of the Turks for this
years campaign rested, in considerable de-
gree, on the cooperation OF this Pacha and
me troops he was to hiring from Upper Alba
nia.-Now. on the 18th OF July, this same
Smyrna paper told us that the Pacha of Sen
tart had occupied the DE- files of the Fs;hmus nj
Corinth with 10000 men whence comes ne
then in September to be at Salona, so far in
The rear' Has he been defeated and driven
back lfso, the Smyrna paper should tell us.
But the truth Is he never was at the Isfbrnus
and the assertion was grossly false. for he was
dt that time struggling in the mountains Of A
grapha. The Austrian Observer in an extract
IN your paper of Saturday, states. on the an
thority Of a letter from Corfu of Orr. IN. tba,
on Sept so, the Pacha of Scu,ari was abnut
nine miles from Missnlnnghi.
2. The Smyrna paper of Sept II asserts.
on the authority Of the Physician of the Capu-
dan Pacha, that an army &C fftv thousand
Turks had entered the Morea. This seems
to be Ito give it "A mild name)a gross f,brica-
ton, on the part of the physician. The Smvr-
ma paper of the 26th tells us that tho pa
cha Of Scuiari was at Salona. that JussuC
Pacha was at Prevesa, Etnir Pacba WAS at
Patras, lin the castlp,l and that new Sc.

and ipsarlOte fleets hut adds in the same ma

the Turkish Admiral. In suhsequen; paper.
this schism, we are told was a sutIabble he

gence In the very same paper in which we
are told " this tragic scene caused rupture
between The lpsariois and Hydri0ts, who will
probably be the first tn disioin Themselves
from the insurreciion," we are also informed
that the schism is rerOncilcd, aud that the
fleets have formed junction, in pursuit Of the
Capuflan Pachq.
We are told under date Of Salamis. Sen
