"you will have learnt probably ere this of
the unfortunate fall of Ipsara. The Captain
Pschs attacked i tho Cd instant with his feet,
consisting Of 2o2 sail, OF which were IL or
IS f'igsIes, lire Of battle ship, with brig,,
sioops, sc. He landed his troops, 20 the
number Of Is 600, under q heavy csnnnnsde.
An Arnsut, or Albanian, who comnsn snded the
fortress which should have protected the
landing place, was ieudeted useless by the
treason of this officer. The G eeks, howev.
ei, defended the beach for , OF a hours,
sword in hand; whom the Turks, who had
landed IN anc,bs' dir ection, were sesD rush-
log down the hill, upon hem; The Greek
fo ce, abou, Gooo men, was Obliged to retTost.
A gseat ps,t Of those who survived throw
hemseIves into Tot ST. Nicola, and sh,To
made good their resi,,shce for 8 dsy', when
the Turks Effected . breach. Finding fu'.
'het resistance vain, these Spartan souls de
termined 10 sell their lives dearly. They
shot awsy their own n'g, and hoi'ted one
with Death or Liber y" on IL, and ceased
firing The Turks thinking they had su'
r.ndet ed, rushed INFO the castle, when IN Q
Greeks blew themselves up together wi,h
their enemies. The explosion was dreadfuI /;
and had tho V:aaih mine taken, which ought TO
have caught ~ the same moment, sovcra'
thoussod Turks would have been destroyed
This mine conlain-d 40 barrels OF powde, f,
and upon which he TuIks were standing
A great many women and children were 10
he castle. Tho Turks theo commenced the
plunder Of Ipssrs, and massacre of the wo-
men and children. The females defended
themselves equally With tho neu, and pro
ferred death 10 being made slaves. A gres,
many of tho heroic actions Of these women
have been related by tho TUX, themselves.
--Huodteds of them stabbed themselves,
or thew themselves into the sea with thei
child on in their arms. Not above 20 lpsa-

board boa's, &c. and go, away; but all the
boats which were overtaken were sunk by the
Turks. The last repotis say, tho Greek
fee, fom Hydra had attacked lpssrs, and c.
aiken il; and that an action had been fougn'
between the two fleets, snd that the Greeks
had gained victory but l canno, believe
iha, mere merchant vessels, such ss compose
their fleet, could stand any chance with such
heavy ships IS the Turks have. The cou''

much.-They must destroy the Turkish feet
or oil the Islands will be lost 10 them. The
