lost 1900 men. His Excellency the Pre-
sident, CoDduriottis, has been elected
Chief oil the forces destined TO besiege
Pa,ras, and it is several days since he pro
ceeded on that expedition but on &C.
count of the landing OF the Arabs at Mo-
don, he proceeded thi,her, and from
thence he will march TO Paras.
A corps OF 8 10 10000 men had enter
ed into western Greece. They must
really imagine thai they can strike terror
into the deserts, since, on advancing into
western Greece, they will only meet
stones and guns, and if even they sue
coed in reaching the interior, they will
find that Anatolico and Missolonghi are
impregnable.
In eastern Greece there have only ap-
peared 400 horsemen, accompanied by
the renegade Odysseus, who not being
able TO seduce the people TO his traitor
Gus opinions, threw Off the mask, desert
ed to the Turks, and took up arms against
his country; but The brave General Gou-
ras, with force OF 5000 chosen men, at
lacked him and drove him, with bis
companions, to Tarenium; he keeps
them closely blocked up there, and we,
| think that shortly Odysseus and his
troops will experience the fate they me-
rit.
The enemy have begun the campaign
this year much earlier than usual; and
we do not doubt that this fifth campaign
they will employ all their efforts; bu,
we also confidently hope and believe,
that those exerliops will fail, and tha, the
Greeks, by brilliant victories, will ad.
vance their independence. The govern
ment is occupied in eXpediing three
strong corps OF ,roops--one will be STA
toned at Volo, one is destined tor the
besicging Of Neeropon,, and the other
for Agrapha. A fourth corps of less
strength will be stationed at Patranziki
According to all appearances, the Sui
tan has plsced all his hopes on two
forces--thai Of the A ibanians, and that
of Mehemed Ali Pacha. AS to the
Egyptians, we have spoken OF them
above; and as TO he AIbanians, the ex-
perence oil four years has ,sugb, US WIN,
may be expected from them, especially
on comparing our forces this yeor with
those OF the proc edlng campaign. Our
vessels also are cruising on the coast oil
A ibania.

TIE EXECUTIVE BODT,
70 Messrs. John Orlando & Andreas i.uriottis
The enemy before Nayarino, having
experienced defeats at various times, is
al present in distress, aud is endesvoring
to rclire into The fortrt sses OF Modon and
Coron. We hope that none Of them
VIII escape us, and tina, their ptesen, pc.
siton may serve them as salutaly les
son. Ga the 3ls, March, II of April
a curious engagement took place. Abont
one hundred Greeks, under General
M ackrolanjs, aIied cut OF the fortress
sword Ia hand, threw ;hemseh es on the
centre oil the enemy, and, after having
killed more than 500, according to the
most authentic Information we have re-
ceived, they returned into the fortress,
laden with booty, having lost only one OF
their companions, and with only seven
slightly wounded. Ii is also proper TO
inform you OF the heroic action oil John
Mavro- Mich ae|is, son Of Pe!rus Mavro-
Mlchaells. That young man, accompa-
med by his brother George, had hardly
learned that the enemy advanced towards
Navarino, than he went to throw him
sell into that fortress with body CT sol
diers. Unwilling TO remain in The for
tress, he sailed forth and threw himself
on the enemy aud occasioned them
considerable loss. Death, however, de-
privcd Us of this young but worthy pa
riot: he received in that engagement a
moral wound. The government, hav-
ing remarked The sincere zeal of Petros
Mavro- VI Chaelis, who himself persuad-
ed his sons to perform that hefoic fca,
restored him to all those civil rights, OF
which circumstances had obliged j, to
deprive him last year. AT presen! he is
united with the other patriots who brave
ly indicate the rights of their country
We give you the agreeable news of
victory obtained by our brave Gouras
over Odysseus and bis Turkish ccmpa-
nions. We have sent YOU the details OF |
that affair by Mr.. K.
The Lively has arrived here with sixty
thousand pounds from London.
We have received the contract Of the |
second Englis Loan, and have forward. |
ed it to you With The ratification.
