| We proposed TO give summary statement o
the operations of the Greeks on the side of Aisso-
ionsb, LIvadia and Attica, but the accounts of re-
cent events there too vague and uncertain to be
relied upon. II has been reported, in very general
terms, that three battles had been fought between
the Greeks and different bodies of the enemy, and
that IN one OF them, Gen. Gourras after obtaining
decisive victory, killed. OF the earlier opera-
tons OF Gourras, and the surrender ofUlysses, we
md the following account in the Oriental Specta-
tor, under date of Athens, May 2.
Ulysses, as it is well known in the hone of he
coming master OF Atica, where he thought he had
strong party, and 10 make use of the Turks, as
an instrument, TO raise himself to the highest sta
tion, baseiy abandoned the cause Of his country.
10 embrace that of the Sublime Porte, with The
Daser PROJECT OF betraying that also, if he found
himself deceived in the calculations OF his policy.
The Greek government, alarmed at the detection
OF Ulysses, sent Goura, from the Peloponessus, 10
march against his former master and companion -
Scarcely bad Goura presented himself, at the head
OF three or four thousand men, than Ulysses BEGAN
his retreat, with fifteen hundred Turks and three
hundred Greeks under his command, and retired TO
me village OF Glovanates, the country of his father
uoua advanced almost 10 the monastery of St
George, situated gun shot from Giovanates. He
mad TO sustain himself there in three combats against
ue TURKS and Oreeks, but be nevertheless succeed
ca, having the advantage in point of numbers, in
Ulysses, who had possession of it with 80 Greeks.
uoura then made preparations TO attack the village
and come TO battle Ulysses was informed of il
immediately and IL is added, that thinking the Tur
klsh reiniorccments he had been promised would
not arrive, or not in season. that it would also be
possible Gan inadmissible excuse and worthy of a.
uaiior) that the Turks might take possession of his
person and carry him TO Negropont, and thence 10
Constantinople, he decided to throw himself into
tne hands OF Goura, imporing his pity and protec-
iron. 90 mat on the 10Th of April, deceiving the
turks, and causing them to believe he was going 10
have conference with Goura, he went to the Camp
OF the latter, escorted by several Mussulmen. On
ne way ihiher he profited by the moment he
ihonght most favourable and making use ofthe agil-
ny oil his legs, which is celebrated he arrived
win some OF his own people at the camp of Goura
Inc Turks, astonished at his disappearance, which
was quick as lightning, Immediately returned TO the
village. Three days after, the intelligence was
received OF the march of 1900 Turks, as the rein
iorcemcnt already announced to Ulysses, and which
were sent 10 from Zeitoun On learning the treason
Oh the Greek chieitsin, they stopped at Tureoeni
lhose who found themselves abandoned at Clio /
vsnates, are an very unpleasant situation, because
their road to return the way they came is cut of:
but they have all the passes open TO leave the ses
coast, If they do not wish TO risk battle, and wait
some time to receive new orders, and new drec-
ton.
meanwhile the opening OF the new campaign
brings forward events which may deceive The homes
of the Greeks, much ashley depend on small things
