! withou, receiving the least damage, or
losing a single man. 1t was glorious
sight for us to see the crew Of the fri
gate taking their lofty flight; the explo'
sion was terribly awful. The friga,e
was a Venetian built ship; there were
400 men on board We picked up is,
| Is were Greeks, who had been forced
TO fight against their couDtrymen; the
other two were Turks. 1t was our in
tention to have made an attempt to en-
ter the port at night with our .6ruiofes,
but at this time Of the year the winds
are so variable that it would have been
] impossible to succeed Since the com.
mencement of this campaign, we have
DESTROYED between 50 and so sail OF
ships, which is no small business. We
only want the friga,es, which we know
to be coming to insure our liberty and
independence. Had we only four fri
gates, we could then with IMMUNITY bid
| defiance to the whole Turkish empire,
and do what no other nation but the
English have done-namely, pass the
Dardanelles. When ] looked upon our
little handful of merchant vessels, and
see them dauntlessly approach and
combat three times their number OF trl-
gates, it makes me long for greater
means, and deplore our want ofresour-
ces None, my dear L., but ne
who fights in company with Greeks,
and shares their difficulties and priva-
tons, can or ought to Judge OF their cha
racter and Bravery. If you hear any
one, who has b en- in Greece, say that
the Greeks are not brave, tell him, for
