single man. IL was glorious sight ior us
lofty flight :tse'cxplosion was terribly aw-
fnl. The frigate was Venetian built ship;
there were four hundred men on board.
We picked up Is; Is were Greeks, who
had been forced TO hight agaisst their COM
trymen the other two were Turks. Ii was
our intention to have made an attempt to
enter the port at night with our bruiotes,
but at this time Of the year the winds are
so variable that il would have been impos-
sible to succeed. Since the commence
ment Of this campaign, we have destroyed
between fifty and sixty sail Of ships, which
is no small business. We only want the
frigates, which we know to be coming, 70
insure our liberty and independence. Had
we only four frigates, we could then with
mpunity bid defiance to the whole Turkish
empire, and do what nc other nation but
the English have done-namely, pass the
Dardanelles. When looked upon our lit
tie handful Of merchant vessels, and see
them dauntlessly approach and combat
three times their number Of frigates, il
makes me long for greater means, and de-
plorc our want Of resources. None, my
dear l., but he who fights in company
with Greeks, and shares their diffic ulties
and privations, can or ought TO Judge Of
their character and bravery. If you hear
any one, who has been in Greece, say that
the Greeks are not brave, tell him, from
me, it is false; and that he is no friend to
Liberty or Greece, whose shores motives
Of interest can alone have induced him to
visit.
81 have now served as a volunteer four
months, and have not received a cent for
my services: on the contrary, as long as !
have para, Greece shall be welcome to it.
The bravery of the sailors, and the intrep-
id enthusiasm of the brui"fiers, in particu-
lar, has inspired me with the utmost esteem
and love for them. You shall hear from
me again shortly. In the mean time, be-
lieve me-" &c

July, general attack on Missolonghi; that
his attack was repulsed, but that it was to
