Thus defeated in the attempt on Misol
unghi, the Turkish commanders attempt
ed to move directly eastward into Liva
dia. They were met by body o.
Greeks on the .4spropokamo, (the Ack.
lores, who successfully disputed theiI
passage. In consequence of subsequent
events, and after much individual deser.
ton, the whole corps of Albaoians in this
army disbanded themselves, and refused
TO keep the field.
With the spring of the year, the new
elections in Greece came on, and more
than one candidate was started for the
important post of President. The ORR
entail Spectator appeals TO this fact as a
proof of the divided state of Grecian
feelings, and as indicative of the ap-
preaching ruin of the race. We hope
it is no bad sign for nation, to have
more than one candidate for the Presi-
dency. The meeting of the elective
body took place at Astros, in the month
of April. Napoli di Romania had been
fixed upon as the future seat of the Gov
eminent, purpose for which the great
strength of its Notifications and its vicin-
ity to the naval islands, admirably fitted
it. But the appearance of the plague.
in consequence of the long confinement
Of a numerous Turkish garrison within
the walls, made it expedient for the Gov
eminent TO return to Astros, a small place
at little distance on the western coast
of the Gulf of Napoli. 1t appears that
the offer of a reelection was made to
Prince Mavrocordato; but that, consid-
ering that the public good would be
promoted by the choice of the. Bey Of
Mania, he declined the office. Mavro-
michalis was accordingly chosen in his
place as President of the Executive
Council. John Orlando, Hydriot, of
character and influence. was made Pres
ident Of the Legislative Senate. In an
letter to the Philhellenic So
cieties of Swisse rland and Germany,
bearing date July 81, 1923. Prince Nav
rocordato thus handsomely characterizes
his successor :--"The venerable and a
ged Chieftain, beloved for his disposition,
well known for his patriotism, and strong
alike from mis- wealth and the general
esteem of all Greece" 'Fhe election of
Mavromichalis put an end to the discon-
tent, which the Mainote leaders had felt,
at the election Of the Constantinopolitau
Prince Mavrocordato the last year For
the rest, the accounts which circulate of
these dissentions must be received with
great caution. In the Boston Daily Ad-
vertiser for Thursday last, we perceive
an article quoted from the Smyrna ORR
entail Spectator, that Colocotroni has
openly resisted the authority Of the Sen
ate, and been thrown into prison. This
calunny, (for such we presume it to be,
has often been repeated against Coloco-
troni. 1t is true, this general is of the
Mainote race, and was discontented that
his venerable chief Mavronlichalis was
passed over, at the first election. But
that he ever defeated or resisted the
government, there is no proof. When
Churschid's army passed the mountains
in July, 1899, this same Oriental Spec
tator charged Ulysses with being bribed
to let them pass; aud as Colocotroni
raised the siege of Patras, at the same
time, and marched toward Argos, the
same paper accused him also of having
deserted the cause, and of having fed to
join the Turks with the military chest.
1t now appears that the whole was
plan concerted with great sagacity, and
pursued with entire success, by the Gre
clan generals. Ulysses entered into a
pretended negotiation with Churschid,
promising 10 leave the passage of The
Mountains free to him. Churschid, de-
ceived, passed with his whole force, not
thinking it necessary to leave any troops
behind him to protect Thessaly. Ulys-
ses meantime having despatched an ex-
press to Colocotroni, made rapid march
into Argolis, met and defeated the Turk
ish army, and slew its general. This
was Colocotroni's desertion with the mil
itary chest. While he was thus employ
ed, Ulysses was 10 rapid motion in Thes-
sally, and Churschid was obliged TO has
ten back 10 protect Larissa. This was
the treachery of Ulysses. Brit the cal
jimmy was circulated, and did its office,
and the truth will not reach one in a
hundred who was thus msled.
To return, however, 10 the events of
this year. We have seen that the first
operation in the Turkish campaign, the
reduction of Misolunghi, had failed. In
