son attempted 10 descenit the hill, 10 take
possession Of the provisions; but 5elns

while all the provisions fell into TIT
hands Of the Greeks.
The campaign of the Turks his year
was projected on the same plan VITA that
of the last bu, with piore extensive com
binaticus. From the head quarters d.
Larlssa, in Thessaiy, the commander in
chief was TO collect an army TO move
downward on the Morea. He was to be
supported by the Pacha of Negropont,
who was TO cross the adjacent continent,
and having ragaged Aluca, meet the Sc
raskier al the isthmns OF Corinlh. The
pscha Of Scutari was to descend with
the long expected supplies from upper
Albania; and passing through the noun
,ains OF Agraph, form junction with
the pacha in Lvadia; while third aux
Hilary corps under Oner Bey Brloni and
Jussaf Pacha, after having been REM
forced by a body of troops, TO be Landed
by the Capudan Pacha at Condyla, IN
Acarnanis, was 10 cross into Livadla and
there meet the combined forces, which
were to move down into the Morea, al
the moment when the Aeet Of the Capu-
dan Pacha, having supplied the fortress
es OF Caryto, Gin NegroponD of Cpron,
Modem, and Patras, should appear IN the
gulf of Lepanto, to support all these
movements. The reader, who will be
at the pains to compare this skc'ch with
a map will see how skilfu.ly it was de-
vised. The Oriental Spectator in allnd-

,uruna,ely for the prediction Of this en-
ligh,end editor, no one part of this plan
succeeded. We proceed briefly to
sketch the mode Of its failure.
At the close of the year 1922, we have
seen that Churshid Pacha, the Seraskier,
