The Editor Of the Boston Daily Advertiser
has received Suyrna papers 10 April 10, from
which he has made the following extracts =
SMYRNA, APRIL 6.
The squadron, properly called Turk
ish, will be composed of about 40 YES
sells Of different sizes United with the
Egyptian fiotilla and that of the Barba-
try powers, it is calculated that it will
amount 10 The imposing number of 100
vessels. The French commander, de
Choisi, has returned from Athens, where
he had carried twelve Greeks, of whom
we have formerly spoken, to exchange
them for more considerable number of
Turks, and in consequence, there have
been twenty-nine individuals of that ma
ton, women and children, brought here.
There are sill remaining some at A.
thens in the hands of the Gree ks. whoare
not willing TO give them up, because
they have prospect of making anoth-
er exchange. Ulysses still commands
10 that citygthe citadel of which is de-
Tended by three thousand men. AT the
els, of Mach, the Turks continued mas
tiers Of Paras, of Modon, Of Coron, and
Corinth, This last city, must, ere long,
be in want of provisions and the Greeks
already fatter themselves (which to be
sure is not the first tine) that this place,
at the end, of twenty days, must be
forced bviamine to surrender.
KARADAcH, (three days journey from
Salonica) APRIL 1.-On every side of
this County, motions are making. Lev
les OF troops are made for the Morea.
1t is said that more than eighty thousand
men are 10 be put on foot. They are
to be commanded by new Pachas. The
Pacha of Adrianople is TO march at The
head of twelve thousand men. Each
Bey will be followed by thousand or
fifteen hundred soldiers. The Bulgarian
Greeks are also enrolled, as they were
the preceding year. Some of the
Greeks of Macedonia and ThessaEy
have been forced to march, but on
ly in the quality of domesticks. The
insurgents in the Pe!oponnesus are max
ing on their side also great preparations,
as | am assured by people from that
quarter. They expect to he attacked
In very serious manner this year, and
they are taking all measures to make
vigorous stand against the Ottomans.
They DO not propose 10 attack the places
of which the latter are in possession,
bnt at first TO fight The enemy which ad-
vances towards their peninsula. They
have foEified the Isthmus of Corinth,
and they have transported there bombs
and cannon. 1t is said that if they are
victorious w this campaign, as they are
nearly certain they shall be, they will
then turn TO che places of war, and the
fortresses which still hold out, and
which sooner or later will be forced TO
surrender; in the mean time they will
keep vigilant watch that these places
are not supplied with provisions from
land or sea.
ATKINS. MARCH 81.
We are quite tranquil here, but we
fear that the calm viii not be of long
duration-the clouds are gathering in
The nortii Of this classick land. The
Turks are collecting great numbers on
the confines of Attlca. II Is very prob
able that every thing viii be terminal
ed this year.
sALONICA, APRIL ].
The situation Of this place is truly
deplorable. Greeks, Jews, and Turks,
all trembIe before the Pacha. He has
caused deep bitches TO be dug. into
which the bodies Of condemned crimi-
nails are thrown, and in the SILENCE of
night it is, that executions take place.
Commerce is stopped under this state of
affairs; and in the midst Of sad calm.
the inhabitants and strangers hide their
money, and become feeble with misery.
At this moment, all the property of
Gregory Kir;ako, who has fed. is selling
by publick auction. According to late
adyices from the Morea, the Greeks are
making there great preparations, and
their fleet was designed to prevent the
union Of the Algerine and Ottoman
feels There were fourteen Greek
vessels at Tasse.
SMYRNA, APRIL 4.
Twenty-six camels have lately aIriv-
ed here, from Constantinople, loaded
with munitions Of war which are TO be
sent to Echelle-Neuve. IL appears that
a descent upon Samos is again in con-
temptation. Already, for this purpose,
they have begun to construct vessels at
Changli, near Echelle-Neuve. If Sa-
mos is seriously attacked-if the de-
scent is favoured by the Ottoman squad
ron, as it was at Scio, the same dread
