Three times the Ottoman squadron
before Samos have approached the
Greeks and given them chase, then the
Greeks have, by their skilful ma ecu.
vres and The aid oil their fire-ship, oblig-
ed the Turks to tack about. The Car
tain Pacha made signal for the fourth
time TO attack the enemy. 1t was in
vain terror spread among the sailors and
soldiers-the ships gained the open sea,
and abandoned the field of battle. New
er was the Greek navy covered with so
much glory. A Turkish galley, with
400 men on board, was fighting with a
little Greek brig, which did not dare TO
board, on account of the small number
of their men. Another Greek brig ar
rived, advanced directly TO the galley,
passed over and sunk it, A moment af-
ter, the most Of the Musselmen were
seen struggling fer their lives, but soon
met death in the midst of the waves.
Constantine Canari left SYRIA, and reached
Samos at the moment when the Turks
were landing their troops from the Ash
attic continent Followed by some ves-
sells Canari advanced. His presence
spread terror-the Turks landed on the
shore. The camp of Dib. Bournou
covered our brave Greeks with well
directed fire-but nothing arrested Con-
stantine Canari. He obliged the Turk
ish ships TO retire. The enemy re-
nounced the attempt to land, aud for
this time Samos is safe. During the
burning of the frigate, CanaTi advanced
within ten PAGES of the Turkish vessel.
The Ottoman sailors perched on the
yards, threw towards him a shower of
balls, and though Canari was on the deck
with his twenty-five companions, two
only of them were killed As soon as
they had set fire to the ire-ship, Canari
threw himself with his men into his
scampavia. They were Immediately
surrounded by dozen boats, and fol-
lowed more than hundred PAGES; but
their valor, their courage, saved them
from peril. The Greeks say much of
the devotedness of the Turks. The
day after the burning of the frigate, and
Of the other ships, the Ottoman camp
disappeared.-The Turks, struck with
terror, saw nothing but fre-ships on
every side. Some thought of regaining
their homes; others returned to Scala
Nuoya. Constantine Canari told US, with
modesty equalIed only by his cour-
age, that having landed after this burn
ing at the foot of Mount Mycall with
his followers, they advanced nearly
three miles into the interior, and did
not find soul. Taking into considera-
ton only the actual loss to the Turks,
this event is very Insignificant, for what
are three or four ships burnt up to them ?
or what do they think Of three or four
thousand men killed? Nothing, certain
ly. But if we consider The moral effect
it will be seen to be incaicuIable.
Scarcely are the vessels burnt, than an
army of an hundred thousand men is
dissolved, and squadron which was 10
subdue the whole Archipelago, is not
safe except in the harbors where it has
been concealed for several days. The
news of the disaster of the Turkish
squadron spreads here and through the
Peloponnesus the greatest joy. The
Hellenists feel Of what value such ex-
amples are to them.

Union ofhhe Thames and .MedzUay.--The
grand union between the River Thames
and Midway will be effected very short
ly, by means of the largest tunnel, we
believe, in the world. This great pub
lie undertaking commences Immediately,
from the Port of London, below Grave
send, where there is a large river lock
capable of admitting vessels of 200 tons
into capacious bason, with commodi-
Gus wharfage. The canal, which is tif-
ty feet wide, and seven feet deep in
water, passes through the marsh lands
to the village of bingham, distance of
