Since our last paper advices direct
from Smyrna TO the 10th September have
arrived. Besides verbal accounts we
have received Smyrna papers to The

las, date every thing was tranquil at
Smyrna THAT the Turkish fleet, united
with the Egyptian expedition, were lay-
ing wind bound in the gulph Of Cos,
(some 40 or so miles from Samos j and
that the Greek fleet, under admiral Mi
aulis, who was watching them, was as
Pa,mos, about 90 miles N w. of Cos -
That after the disaster which occurred
10 the Turkish feet near Samos, the
horde of Asiatics, which had assembled
to sack that island, and who were most
ly volunteers and detached militia, dis
persed, and were returning home But
that regular army was forming in their
stead and that the Governor OF Smyrna
had been ordered to furnish 5000 janis
saries, to make part Of it: That the
Greeks at Samos were III good spirits,
and were making the utmost preparations
10 repulse their invaders; but that Ii was
the general sentiment a, Smyrna, Ina.
the Turks would eventually succeed 10.
