he persons of the commander in chiei,
was doubtless among the causes which
retarded the operations Of the campaign.
The FIRST mihtary attempt was on the
fortress OF Misolunehi, a strong town in
the possession OF the Greeks, - the en-

Mavromicbalis put an end to the disco't~
tent. which the Nlinote leaders had felt,
at the election of the Constanilnopolltan
Prince Iovrocordato the last year. For
the rest, the accounts which circulate OF
these dissentio1s, must be received with
graf caution. In the Boston Daily 4 j.
vertiser for Thursday last, we perceive
an article quoted from the Smyrna ORR

openly resisted the authority Of the Sc

1t now appears that the whole was a
plan concerted with great sagacity, and
pursued with entire success, by the Gre
clan generals. Ulysses entered into a
pretended nepocistion with Churshid
promising to leave the passage Of the
Mountains free to him. Churshid de.
ceived, passed with his whole force, not
