CAPTURE OF lPSaRA BIZ rue TURKS.
Tae island Of ipsaras was taken BY
the Turks on the 81 of July. Several
accounts are given of this calamitous
events, which vary in the particulars,
but all agree thai there was an indis-
criminate massacre of the Greeks, and
that they nearly all persisted. A Smyr-
ma article of the 10th of july, gives the
following statement on the authority of
the officers of The Amaranthe, French
vessel Of war, which was present at the
time of the capture
The Captain Pacha arrived off Ipsa-
ra on Friday evening the Cd of July
On Saturday, between and O'Clock
in the morning, he landed $4,000 men.
and made himself master of the fort.
which is on the north side of the island.
The Turks then made for the top of the
hill. which commands the town. and
hoisted the Turkish flag there towards I
o'clock. At the same time, the squad.
ron surrounded the island. Tie rout
was complete. without the ships finding
it necessary to fire their guns; the town
was captured, and the sea covered with
the bodies of those who attempted t.
escape in small boats and vessels so
heavily laden that they sunk. The Al.
bantam Greeks, who were in the service
of the lpsariots, made some resistance.
but were repulsed, after killing chou
500 Turks, and they took refuge in the
last fortress on the eastern side of the
island, which held out the whole day.
and had not surrendered al The depar
ture of the Amaranthe.
The chief men OF the island and th.
senate, had time to escape with Their
families in their own vessels, which
were lying at Anti-Ipsara, whence the,
made sail. The Captain Pacha de
spaiehed some frigates after them, blu.
without overtaking them. lie captured
all the vessels which were in the port OF
ipsara, and preserving the best OF them.
caused the Others TO be burnt.
In the Greek accounts Of the capture.
the Turks are said to have been indebt
ed Tor their success, partly to the assis
lance of the Russians, and partly to the
treachery Of the Albanian Greek. who
were bribed by the Captain Pacha.--
Letters from Zante, TO the 18th of july
say
The Russian ambassador at Constan
tinople, granted permission TO Russlal
merchant vessels, To transport Turks.
Il oops 10 lpsara, and the Captain Pachs
biibed the 1900 Albanian Greeks in the
service OF the ipsariots, by promising
them each 1000 piastres, il they wou!e

pointed TO defend To these causes.
