IL is reported here, that ano,'cr Turkish
army of 20 600 men will enter the .lf9rec, to
suhdue the Greeks. think it very possible
they may meet the same fate the last-be
entirely DESTROYED. The Greeks have captur-
ed .Nupoli di Romanin, the most important
foI tress in the Morea, by starvation. Abou,
700 ofthe garrison were brought here by an
EnSsh frisate--ihr most miserable wretchrs
ever behrld. The Greeks committed M
outrages on the caplives, and even sent them
Into Asia Minor by their own vessels.
"ln Canada, sutcrss attends the Greek
causr.-Thry are now nearly master of the
whole island
81 is said, dreadful misery prevails among
the Greeks in the Morea, for want of provi-
s sire ba IIhIH nppsar determined to perss
last extremity. Madam. Bnh',,;ma 'h,. c.

nmns. which stOrmcd one of In. f,rtress.s

q" The Turks are building IL more Gigaies,
and intend, 1t is said, IN the spring TO make
a grand effort. Their feet is now living al
the DardanrIIes. Lord Strangford has re
turned from the Congress to COnstanfinople.
The Allied Powers, it appears will not inter
pose To help the Greeks but leave them tn
their fate. The approaching summer will
probably decide the contest with the Greeks
In Smyrna we are now very tranquil, though
there was considerable frrnrnt among the
Turks when the prisoners from Napoli we're
landed and it ~ generally believed that
hard rain of two days prevented many Greeks
from being massacred. This may appear sin
gular, but have no doubt offs truth.
awe have accounts of troubles in Egypt
1t is said, that the Turks have made grner-
al revolt against the government Of the Pasha
Of Egypt, and that his son has been lately kill
ed by the Arabs, while crossing the deserts
with 1000 camel bads of Mocha Coffee,
which were also captured.
