uh. A new report was given of the defeat Of
the Turkish Admiral, in letters from Consian-
tinope of Sept. 10. 1t is said that on the 18th
Of August. he attempted to land on the Island
Of Samos Is. 600 men, that he was attacked by
80 armed Greek ships, which weru preceded
by fire ships that one Turkish frigate, many
briggs and corvettes were burnt, aud that ia
consequence of the terror excited by this event,
The camp at Scala Nuuva was broken up, and
the Turks had taken To fight. l.vfd Straag
ford only waited at Constantinople for The
arrival of the Marquis of Rheaupierre, the
new Russian Ambassador, before taking his
departure. The king has granted To Loud
S,rangford the dignity of Barren Of the Uni
ted Kingdom, with the lille Of Baron Strang
fUrd of Ciouiarf.
In addition TO the foregoing. we find the fol-
lowing from the Smyruian of'Augus, 81, and
September 2, which may be considered tn.
best authority for intelligence Of this descrip-
ton.
Scala Nova. Aug. 1o.-For some days
the Ottoman squadron was in Sight OF the
Greek fleet, when, after divers insignificant
movements on both sides, the Greeks, tn the
number Of 30 sail, ADVANCED towards the little
Chanhel which separates Samos from the A
static Continent about two miles. Scarcely
had HE Siussui,iieIi per cr,ed the situation of
loud cheers 10 be led To battle Three times
the Captain Pacha refused his people the per
mission ID fight, observing 10 them that the
position of the Greeks was al, ambiguous, and
that they would get themselves into situation
ofemba. rassmcni. This avaed nothing; the
Mussclmrn Z. t..eir enthusiasm, threatened To
mutiny, and go To battle WITHOUT orders. Yield
fng TO necessity, the High Admiral then order
ed an advances towards the Greeks; this divis-
ion soon reached in full sail the little channel,
The Greeks uttered loud cries, and remained
motionIess at their posts. Three Gre-sbips
We're directed against the frigatr that had the
lead. The rordsge took fire. The Turk by
heavy cannonade endeavors to keep off the
DIES ructive fire which is ready TO consume him
All his efforts are in vain; courage must yield
10 necessity; the frigate is all in fumes; il tacks
and stands towards the continent. On this
the Turkish squadron disperses; all fly without
h.sitation; and the Greeks spreading all their
sails pursue them. la the midst Of the gene
raj confusion the frigatc blows up, general
panic prevails, and The Musselmen imagines
himself already oveTtaken by the enemy
Some get into the open sea, others steer TO-
wards the coast, where they strand and burn
their vessels. Only one AIgerine brig, sur
rounded by the Greeks, was compelled to sur
render. In this aHar the Turks lost frigate,
corvette, and two briggs. The greater part
Of the crews of these vessels persisted.
, SMYRNA, Aug. 24.-Ietiers from Scala No
va, say, that the troops which were at the foot
of Mount Micale, al the Cape called by the
Turks Dra, Sournou have wholly deserted
Part of thcm however, have returned tn Scala
Nova. Thus this army, which hld fastened
from the remotest parts Of Natola to ravage
Eoamos, has Vanished in moment.
SMYRNA, Sept. 2.-It is now officially known
that Athens has not fallen into the hands of
the Mahonetans, bat il is also certain that the
Turks sometimes advance up 10 the walls of
the capital Of Attica, often carrying away pri-
sJners.
Odysseus is not gone to Morea, but to Sa-
iona with sum. which he has received from
The Provincial Government OF Greece, to form
camp IN that country, IN order To oppose
The Musselmans forces that may advance on
that side.
IL was the intrepid Canaris who in the little
channel, set fire to the frigate, the corvette
and two brigs. The European Naval Officers
are asioDished AT The courage and boldness of
,he Greek mariners.
Letters from Constaptinople state that Mol
tla'ia and Wdllachia are finally evacuated, tn al
peace between Russia and the Porte was
signed, and that a Russian Ambassador is
ahertiy expected in the Turkish capital

FROM GREECE
.Nov. 9S.-We were yesterday favoured
with IA file of the Smyrnean TO Sept. IL. con-
tanning Intelligence Of some interest from the
Archipelago. We gave yesterday some ex-
tracts, received by way of England, from
these papers, TO Sept @ which proved very
satisfactorily thatup to that date nothing had
been effected against Samos by the Captain
Paeha, but that on The other hand division
of ms fleet had been destroyed, add the great
camp at Scala Nova was entirely broken up,
and the great body of Asatic troops which
had been there assembled dispersed. II now
appears thar atielHpts were making to form
new army, to consist entirely of Janissaries,
out up TO the date above named, and even TO
j he time of the sailing of the Charles from
Smyrna which was about the Goth Of Sept,
neitber the Turkish nor the Egyptian fleet
had gained any decisive advantage.
The following paragraphs are from the
.5myrnean of Sept. IL. ftf TH.
SCALA NOVA.-A new eamp is formed
at Psii, a city situated twelve hours ride south
VI Dib. Bournou. The Janissaries are every
day coming in here, this army being TO be
formed entirely of them. Our city and its
neighbofhood are ruined. We know nothing
certain respecting the Captain Pachs. We
IRE assured, however, that the Grand Admi- !
