Greece, by letters from Trieste, dated
June Goth, which confirm what has been
before stated of the defeat ofthe Turk
lsh commander in Chief 1t appears
that this General, who is one of the best
IN the Turkish army, had proceeded
with much expedition towards the Pas
ses of the ThermopyIe, which he made
an effort TO force. The Turkish troops
fought with more coulage than usual,
and for sometime the issue of the con.
test seemed doubtful. In the end, how
ever, the patriotic defence of the Greeks
prevailed, and the Pacha was compelled
with some loss 10 make retreat to
Larlssa, where he was 10 wait Tor re-
endorsements from Romelia. The same
letters state that the corps of Constan-
! tine Bozzaris, and the troops of the Pa
cha OF Scutari, had met, and that an en-
gagement had taken place, which must
have terminated favourably to the
Greeks, as Constantine remained in pos
session of the field, and the Turks had
fallen back 10 and 20 leagues, in all di-
rections.
The Naval force of the Turks in the
Cult OF Lepanto is only eight vessels;
three frigates, two corvettes, and three
briggs. The Greeks have in the waters
OF lpsara not less than 1870 sail, mostly
small.
| A letter from Corfu states, that Nav
rocordato with body of chosen troops,
had marched against Omer Vrione, and
that Nicetas cooperating with him was
10 penetrate by Llvadia, into Thessaly.
lhe same letter repeats the story Of
the rising of the Wahabites, and that a.
gainst them the Pacha Of Egypt had d.
recicd a great part of his disposabIe
force. The Greeks, it is stated, pro-
pose TO appropriate great portion of
their loan TO the purchase Of large Eng
llsh merchant vessels, 10 be converted
into vessels, Of war.
A corps OF Turkish troops had landed
near Orco, ON the northern point of Ne
gropont, whence it had advanced into
the interior of the country, with the in
teniion Of uniting with the Turks in the
tortresses of the lsland-Thc plan fail
ed.-A corps OF Greeks compelled them
10 make nasty retreat, and re-enibark
but II was believed that when Rein
forced they would make landing on an
other part of the island, particularly as
they had been joined by some troops
from Macedonia.
LoNDoNyJuly s..
Government yesterday took I'd
some vessels as transports for six months
certain; their destination is of course
secret but there cannot be d doubt that
Government are about sending troops
to some point in Europe .--Some sensa-
ton has been excited during the last
two or three days, by the statement
that the King of Portugal has made an
application TO his Majesly's Government
for the aid Of military force, and that
this application had been granted. The
taking up OF the transports is supposed
to be connected with this application"
