GREECE.-A letter from Zantp, of March
IS, announces the capture of the important
place Of Coron, the last bulwark of The Turks
in the south of the slorea. This town Mas
carried by storm by the Greeks under the
command Of an EcClesiastic, Zerb,no, Who
took il by surprise. The occupation of the
town and castle 1T Arta by Constantine
Buzzaris is also confirmed. A large ship from
London had brought them grea, quantity
Of powder, cannons, mortars, shells, cannon
balls, and other kinds ofamWunition prepara-
tory to the sieg. of Lepanto.
On hearing of the formidable preparations
making by the Turks for the ensuing cam
paign, the government at Missolonghi imme-
diatey despatched European engineers to the
north Of the lsthmus Of Corinth, to form. an
entrenched camp for the purpose of Offering
an effectual resistance. Engineers are also
occupied in raising Notifications on the side Of
Thebes and on all the principal fountains.
A Greek vessel arrived at ADcona on the
4th of April from Corfu, whence il sailed on
the 25th of March, with the information that
the city of Lepanto had fallen into the pow
err ofthe Greeks, the 18th of this month. Ac-
cording TO the information we have on this
subject, il appears that breach having been
made by the artillery of the Pbihern-s, COM
manded by Colonel SianhOpc, the place was
summoned To surrender, and Juss ouf Pacha,
who commanded there. having rejected all
sort Of capituIaiion. they prepared for an at
tack with their whole force. II was execui-
I'd on the morning of the f4ih little before
sunrise. Constantin. Bozzars. and Nicetas,
the rurkophage, led the advanced guard, aud
at seven in the morning the standard of the
Cross Heated upon the walls Of Lepapto. Part
of the Turks persisted. and, il is said, there
was found rich b"otv in money, ammunition,
arms, baggage, and effects, obtained from the
pilage Of Achaa. in 1891. by Jussouf Pa
cha, who, according to all appearance, perish
ed in this last battle. Ad,ices from Frank
