Zante, Feb. I4.-After the victory
which the inhabitants of Missolongi gain
ed on the 9th of this month, when they
repused six assaults of the Turks, Omar
Brioni, Pacha of Janina, retreated, leav
ing 500 men on the field of battle.
During two days it was unknown what |
rout he had taken, and strong recon-
noitering parties were sent out IN differ |
Cit directions, and beyond Xygos. At
the same time advice was received that a
corps of 1900 Greeks from the Morea,
had disembarked opposite to Trisonta,
and were advancing by the desiles OF
Mount Caracas, towards Tidaria. while
Marc Botzaris, at the head of 900 men,
was moving on by LepenOn to VerachOri
The movement from Missolongi having
heen calculated on this base Of opera
tons, its FIRST object was the camp OF D.
mar brioni, which was found abandon
ed; 16 pieces Of cannon and ammunition
and provisions were found left behind,
and even the magnificent tent of Chour-
schid Pacha. A the articles became
the booty OF the Christians, who soon
learnt that Omar Pacha had retreated to
Yrachori. Our latest news from the
Continent, which is up to the 10th of
this month, says that this proud Arnaut
is surrounded in his position, and we
expect daily to hear of his complete
rum.
The Electoral Colleges of Greece are
summoned for the 18th of this month, at
NapoIi di Romania in order to renew
