was Immediately followed by the Creek
feet. The Capt. Pacha succeeded in
landing body Of troops in Samos, with
ont opposition from the inhabitants, for
they had laid waste the low lands and
retired to the mountains. Soon after
the landing of the Turks, the Greek
fleet appeared, and the dread of their
fre-ships in the shallow waters which
surround that island, put the Turkish
feet into great confusion, and obliged
them TO retire. Thereupon a naval
action was fought, and the loss of ship
of the line, three frigates and thirty
smaller vessels, was the result to the
Captain Pacha. Immediately after this
victory the Greeks landed some SOL
dlers, who having effected a junction
with those of the island, attacked the
Turks who had previously landed, and
put the whole of them to the sword.

Thermopyle, between the Turks and

however, on the shores of any part Of

that the Greeks had sent fleet of 100
vessels to meet the Egyptians. and that
the families of Hydra and Spezzia had
retired to the strong places of the pen
insula.
No ineligible accounts of the state
OF the war in the continental part of
Greece, have been received for some
time. This deficiency is in part sup
piled by letter from an American gen
tleman in Smyrna, inserted in the New
York Daily Advertiser, which states,
that The Greeks have been very sue
cesstul there also. "We have uudis-
puted accounts" he says, "of three bat
ties gained over the Turks; one on the
plains OF Marathon, where they destroy

another at Zeltun, near ThermopyIa,
where the Turks lost 5000 men, with
very trlfling sacrifice on the part of
