FROM EUROPE.

The ship Electra, arrived at this port on
Saturday morning last, and brought Lon
don papers to the fourteenth Of January,
from which the following information has
been selected -
LONDON, Jan. Id.
Information has this day been receiv.
ed from Greece, by the way Of Ancona.
and also of Marseilles, which may be con-
sidered decisive of the fate of that most
valuable portion of the globe. A letter
from Ancona, dated on the 26th Dec. en-
closes the copy Of one from the Greek
Minister, Petrobey, to his son in Zante !;
and by the way of Marseilles, the advices
from the Morea are dated on the 10th of
December. These communications agree
in confirming the accounts previously pub
lished in the Chronicle Of the defeat of the
Captain Pacha by the Christian feet, Near
the Island Skaithe. In the action the BAR
barians suffered the loss of ten ships sunk,
twelve burned, and eight captured. They
also state that the Captain Chief, Mavro-
cordato, in his passage with fourteen ships
for the relief of Missolonghi, fell in with
the Algerine feet off Patrass, that a Sc.
we're engagement Immediately ensueI. and
the result was the capture Of one frigate
and one brig. Five other Algerine ves-
sells were sunk during this battle, and the
remainder the piratica fleet escaped

Mavrucordato. as soon as the seige Of Mis-
solonghi had been raised, blockaded Pat

this fortress by land with thirteen thou

Coron and Modon had SUBMITTED. At Mis-
solonghi. previous to raising the seige, thu
Turkish army had mutinied for want o
pay. Four Pachas and many prisoner
were left to experience the clemency o
their conquerors at Missolonghi. The de
