nied them. The emancipation and in-
dependence of the Morea was so per-
iectly organized, that a corps of 5000

posed to them. II is even reported that
the army ofthe latter, composed chiefly
OF Albanlahs, had revolted, and reduced
him to the necessity ofretreating.
The latest account we find is an arti-
Gle dated Ancona, Dec. 12, which says.
that "letters from Corfu, CephaIonia,
Trieste, and Calama, confirm the defeat
ofthe Turkish fleet. Out of SO vessels
only 22 have made their escape, with
the Captain Pacha, to the Dardannell lies.
Twelve have been taken, burned or run
ashore, and the rest remain blockaded
IN the Gulf of Leila by the Greeks.
Mauroocordato is gone TO the relief of
Missolonghi with twelve ships. 1t is
said that the besieged have made three
sorties and gloriously repulsed the enc

The inhabitants of Scapala, Sciathe, and

Letters received at Venice, inform,
that Greek squadron took, and des-

fortress from Patras, where 5000 men
were killed.
A letter from Zante states, that the
Algerine squadron, which was on a
cruise off Missolonghi, had Just been de-

According 10 advices from the LIE
want the Diyan has received intelligence
that since the return of the CAPTAIN
Pacha to the Dardanelles, the Greeks
have re-established the blockade of the
ports still in the power of the Turks,
both upon the Continent and in the
Islands, and have captured several o.
toman vessels which they have declared
lawful prizes. and particularly some
that sailed from Salonica, the cargoes
Of which were Turkish property.
The former accounts of the victory
of the Greeks in the Gulf of TaIante,
are confirmed by statements from Zante
and Corfu. The Greek feet consisted
of So vessels, and the Turkish of "a

artillery and number of men. The
Greeks were completely successful.
Another account states that the Greeks
had succeeded in cutting off the CON-
municatlon of the Pacha of Scutari, with
his military repositories, Aria and Pre-
vesa. They had also taken an entire
train of artillery and its escort, with an
immense quantity of munitions of war.
Omer Vrione had been completely beat

neighbcurhood the war is obstinately
carried on, and with various success.

All the news from the Morea a.
grees in stating, that the Greeks have

consideration, but the result is not yet
