,,,n;cate 10 you the ch eering insehl-
"ane. of thessuccesses of the Greek
arms. both at Missilonghi and in Can
dia. ,.
Missilonghi was pressed by land BY
a nerseyering and enterprising enemy.
and by sea by the Constantinopolitan
feet. which had succeeded in sending
into the port more than thirty boats,
which played off the artillery on the
town. The Greek feet, although 1t
| had set off in time to assist that Tor
tress, was detained by contrary winds
and Gains, and with difficulty twenty
four vessels arrived there on the ed
ult. sd Augusta These attacked twice
the whole Of the enemy's fleet, and Tor
ced it to fly in a shameful manner, with
the loss Of two briggs, which our sea-
men took and burned, and leaving in
the port the whole Of their boats, OF
which the Greeks took the four largest
without injuring them, with all the
ammunition and provisions which were
in them: they destroyed two other boats,
and nh the rest retrcated towards the
shore under the batteries, and became
partly a prey to the flames, and partly
were taken by the Greeks. The Hight
of the enemy's feet was the more
shameful, as they were only opposed
bv fifteen OF our vessels. This victory
; was obtained between the 23d and oath
ult. (4th and 5th Aug.> Two days pre-
viously, the enemy, being excited by
the bcsieged in Missilonghi, who IN
