FROM GREECE.


The Philanlhropic Society in favor
of the Greeks, at Paris, have published
extracts from the correspondence of
their agent, Gen. Roche, at Napoli di
Romania, of various dates from the 18th
to the 29lh June. In the letter of the
18th, Gen. Roche says that the Greek
Government issued proclamation in
viting the whole nation TO take up arms,
the country being in danger from all
sides.
In letter of the 23d, Gen. Roche
says, Z" that on board the ga gun shin
which was blown up in the battle of
Cape d'Oro, there were IS millions of
piastres for paying the Turkish armies.
In the same letter he says, {. The Egyp-
tan Arabs after beating the Greeks en-
camped before Navarin, marched into
the interior of the Morea, and have &C.
cupled Nisi, Calamata and Leonduri.
They burn and lay waste every thing
in true barbarian style. They spare
neither women nor children; there is
a general desolatlon. We have learned
at this moment, that the enemy has en-
tered Tripolitza. The Greeks, as ihey
retired, burnt this town and the villages
surrounding it. The provisional Gov
ernment of the Greeks has proposed 10
me to take the command of the place OF
NapoIi di Romania."
The next letter, dated Naroli, June
%, gives an authentic, and very salts.
factory account of the repuIse of Ibra.
hlm's army in an attack upon an outpost
of that place.
