The troops which the Capt. Pacha
landed in this island, united with those
of Carlisle and of this town, form a corps
OF 5000 men. 1t having been delayed
10 revictual Caristo, all the Greek vii
lagos without exception revolted to at
tack it, and make themselves masters of
1t, and had already promised themselves
success. when the arrival of the Grand
Admiral gave a new tnrn to affairs.
COUNT has beee invaded and set On fire !;
and almost all the villages of Enbox
have successfully met the same fate.
At this moment we see the smoke aris-
ing on all sides of us, in large extent
OF country. Many Greeks have perish
ed, and many are indebted to flight for
their safety, and have takeu refuge in
the mountains. The women and chill
dram have been spared, but their situa-
ton is truly deplorable. They wander
here and there on the borders of the
shores, with some few trifies saved from
the flames, and looking towards the sea
with countenances full of melancholy,
and vague hope, constantly disappoint-
ed for to fill up their evils, the pirates,
the growth Of these times, vomited by
the sea, make descents on the coast, and
rob even misery in its last retreat.
Though compatriots, their hearts are
memorable. They respect neither the
feebleness of age nor sex, nor of misfor.
tunes worthy OF commiseration.
SMYRNA, July, 4.
The war takes in every direction a
character of desperation and extermina-
tion.-Time seemed to flow on in ST.
lence on the coast Of Iona, when sud
denly horrid reports and melancholy
tales afflicted every heart Now we
know the whole truth. The Ipsariots,
with $50 vessels full of warriors, of
whom the greater number were AIbani-
ans in their service, made descent on
Sarderli.-They attacked all the places,
pillaged them, and set them on fire.
They have taken several prisoners, and
the Harem of Cara Osman Ouglu, for
the ransom of which they demand very
considerable sum. Several pieces of
cannon, which they, landed and planted
on the heights, favoured their decent
and invasion. The Turks attacked them,
and there was bloody action; but the
insurgents, superior in force, seem to
have beaten the Turks, pillaged all the
neighbourhood, and burnt all the chefiks
and carried off in their vessels consid-
cradle quantity of corn and cattle, which
they conveyed to Ipsara. The Greeks
say they lost in this enterprise only 80
killed and 10 wounded, who were all
carried TO the same island. The corps
of troops sent by our Pacha has captur-
ed three Ipsariots, who have been con-
Quoted here, and are guarded as host
ages.
ODESSA, July, 90.
On the 18th inst fire broke out at
Constantinople, in the superb Costini,
contiguous to the naval arsenal. In
short time $500 houses were consumed
by the flames. The fire soon gain
ed the arsenal, and all efforts to extin-
guish it were vain. 1t was relight-
ed three times successfully by the
authors of the conspiracy. The Turks
had the grief of seeing consum-
ed one ship of the line of IA guns. two
covettes, and ITO smaller ships of every
degree. Dismay prevailed throughout
the capital. The Greeks say, that God
is with them, on thus seeing that in the
space of one year the two great arse
mails, those ofTophana and Tersan, have
been consumed by fire.
