strictly closed in Tripolizza, and il Ibrahim
cannot relieve them soon, they must surren-
der for want Of provisions. Tho Greeks are
now in very good spirits, and Colocotroni's
army, when ! crossed the Mcrea, FIVE days
ago, was between IL and $4,000 strong, and
was daily increasing, by the Mereots coming
down from the mountains to join them. Their
affairs IN all quarters have assumed favora-
BILE aspect. The Greeks are more united
than they have ever been, and this campaign
may be considered as approaching to ter
mination."
| The following is an extract Of private let
| ter from Zante, dated the 10th of September:
An arrival from Maino, represents that part
of the Morea as being completely free OF
Turks, and the natives are quietly gathering
| their produce. The Turks of Patras made a
descent on Monday, on Gasluni, but they en-
tirely failed in their attempts at plumber
| through the active resistance Of the popula-
ton. The Turkish force consisted of 500
| cavalry, who afterward retired to Patras.
''The Missolonghians make a most gallant
defence, and even act on the offensive. The
beseging army must ere long quit the siege,
on account Of the rainy season, which is now
| commenced. A squadron of Greeks are block
aiding the Gulf of Arta, and the lonian Gov
eminent refuse clearances for Prevesa. The
Greek fleet, under Miaulis. passed here from
Missolonghi towards the LeXant, on Monday
last, the 9TH INST. Iney are gone IN search OF
the Turks, who, il is now ascertained, have
taken up their quarters in Fort Boodron, OPP
posite the isle of Rhodes. We hear nothing
further respecting the Alexandria fleet.
4" The presence of Miaulis' fleet on the west
ern coast of Greece is very advantageous.
Patras and Lepanto, in consequence of it, re-
fuse to supply Redschid Pacha with provisions.
On the coast of Epiro the fleet has encourag-
ed the mountaineers, who were just cutting
off the communication between Prevesa and
Arta.'
A letter from Napoli di Romania, dated
18th Sept. says" After siege Of FIVE months
the garrison of Missolonghi sees its efforts
| crowned with complete success. Missolonghi
is entirely free from danger. Oriental Greece
as delirered entirely from The barbarians. A
few remnants of the Turkish army are block
AIDED at Salona, and will be compelled to sur
render at discretion. Ibrahim Pacha is en-
deavoring to retreat upon Ceron, with an eff
fort to obtain winter quarters, with slender
army of 5000 out OF % 900. There are only
5000 men ready to sail from Alexandra for
Peloponessus. The Grecian fleet, under Sac
turius is lying near Casas, well prepared.
The instruction in Gambia continues to be
successful"
The Courier Franrats gives the following
intelligence of a different complexion, dated
Sept. "a, which it states comes from an au-
thentic source:
Colonel Fabvier marched upon Tripolitza
with 300 men of regular troops he was to
have found there 1000 men headed by Lon
dos, to have joined them, and attacked 500
or 600 Arabs which lbrahimPa Oh had left in
that place. But instead OF 1000 men, he
found only 60 or co. which prevented the ex-
ecution of his project. Ibrahim Pacha has
marched upon Maino, ravaging sll the coun-
try as he passes; he has captured the towns
of Misitra and Maratonisi. The Greeks are
certifying themselves in Hydra. The Spez-
ziots are sending all the women and children
out of their island. The siege of Mssolonghi
continues; the besieged display great cour-
age. 1t is hoped ms town will hold out, as
the Greeks are successful in their sorties. A
few hundred Candiotes are collecting togeth-
er to return to their island in order to support
the insurrectiop. Unhappi!y divisions con-
tinue among the Greek chiefs, each party &C
cusing the other of maneuvres. misunder-
standing has likewise manifested itself be-
tween Mavrocordato and General Roche.
The American squadron had a tete given it by
the Greeks previous to its departure. 1t has
left corvette here to protect its commerce
against piracy"
At Constantinople, on the 18th of Sept.
great excitement existed; the Janissaries and
the populace were crying out against the Cap
tain Pacha and Redschid Pacha, commanders
o: the Turkish army.
At the last dates from Trieste, the mer-
chants Of that place were in state of alarm
in consequence of news of the capture ofnear
twenty Austrian vessels for attempting to in
fringe the blockade of the southern coast of
Albania, which had been declared by the
Greek Government.
