TURKISH DEFEAT.
Accounts were received in London, on the
9Th from Greece, By letters from Trieste, da-
| ted June 20, which confirm what has been be-
fore stated of the defeat OF t,e Turkish com
inaudcr IN ci,icf. Ii appears that this General,
who is one of the best in the Turkish army,
had proceeded with much expedition towards
the passes of the Thermopya,, whah he made
an effort to force.
The Turkish troops fought with more cou-
rage than usual, and for some time the issue of
The contest seemed doubtful. In the end, how
ever, the Patriotic defence of the Greeks pre-
vailed and the Paclla, was compelled with some
loss TO make n retreat to Larissa, where he was
to wait for rcinforcc,nents from Romcia. The
same letters State that the corps of Constantine
Bozzaris, and the troops of the Pacha of Scutari
had met, and that an engagement had taken
place, which must have terminated favorable
to the Greeks, as Constantine remained in pos
session of the field, ard the Turks had fallen
back 10 and 20 leagues, in all directions.
The naval force of the Turks in the G. ulf of
Lepanto is only eight vessels; three frigates,
two covctts, and three brigs. The Greeks
have IN the waters of lpsara not less than 100
sail, mostly small.
Letters from Corfu, dated June Z, states that
Prince hIavrocordato, the Greek President has
marched against the Turks under Onir Vrione
and that as he has taken with him only the most
chosen troops, the issue could not be doubtful.
The prince will combine his operations with
those of Nicc!as, who has received orders to
penetrate into Thessaly Livaiia; in the centre
OF which province the two armies are to form
Junction.

took up some vessels as transports for six months
certain; their destination is of course secret,
but there cannot be doubt that government
are about sending tro5ps to some point in Eu-
rope. Some sensation has been excited during
the last two or three days by the statement
that tho king Of Portugal had made an applica-
ton to his majesty'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 appca-
ton.
THE Courier of the 9th says that no British
troops will be sent to Portugal. 1t seems TO adj
init however that some Han9ueria,t soldiers were
to be sent.
