The traitor Odysseus is said to have
fallen into the hands of the Greeks, aft
ter having been abandoned by his own
soldiers.
The Nuremburg Correspondent of
3lst May, contains an article dated
from the coast of the Mediterranean,
May Is, which represents the Turks
as incapable Of prosecuting the war
against the Greeks with vigor. 1t is
asserted that the viceroy of Egypt can
not reinforce Ibrahim Pacha, in conse-
quence of his being compelled to con-
tributeeto the formation of an army
which the Porte finds it necessary to
employ, in order TO tranquilize Syria.
1t is further surmised, we say nothing
of the probability of the surmise, that
because I5rahim has not made the pro-
gress expected, in the Morea, there is
disposition at Constantinople to a.
bandon him to his fate altogether.
The Paris Constitutional of the 29th
June details the defeat of Redschid
Pacha, at the head Of $4,000 Albani-
ans, Suliots and others, near Anatolico,
by the Greeks; Notas Bozaris, Fan
gas, and Nicetas, we're the chiefs who
led the Christians. On the 10th May,
it is stated the 'Seraskier' has crossed
the district of Ulochas, and on the
18th, at day break, was encountered by
1000 Greeks who covered Anatolico.
Nietas, who commanded the van guard
Immediately gave the signal for battle,
and rushed into the midst of the enc
my himself. At o'clock victory, it
is stated, crowned the standard of the
Christians. The Turks, beaten at all
points, fed in the road to Arta, leaving
5000 killed in the field of battle, 500
wounded; and two Pachas prisoners ;
20 standards, and all the Ottoman ar
tillery fell, it is added, into the hands
of the Greeks. If this account be true,
and it bears every mark of authenticity,
the campaign of the Sultan this sum-
mer has ended in the same disasters
that crowned every former attempt a.
gains Greece.
Trieste May e5-We continue to re-
ceive letters confirming the intelli-
gence we communicated to you on the
Goth inst. and we have the pleasure fur
Their to inform you that after the. naval
engagement which took place off Can
dia on the 29th April, between divis-
ion of the Egyptian feet and our YES
sells, under Miaulis, the Turks tried
their fortune once more, in endeavour-
ing to go to the assistance of Ibrahim
Pacha, but they were overtaken near
Modon by our brave Admiral, who did
not hesitate to attack them, and obtain
ed, as usual, complete victory over
them. We will, however, give you the
affair as related to us by an Austrian
captain, who has just arrived in our
port from Alexandria, and who says
that this second engagement took place
on the 18th inst. The above mention
ed Captain, was, on that day, few
miles distant from Modon and Coron;
towards noon he heard a heavy firing,
which lasted till midnight.-At that
time he was about twenty miles from
Modon, and heard FIVE following times,
five dreadful explosions, and he then
saw great flames and considerable
smoke in the Gulf Of Modon, which
made him suppose that several ships
of war had been destroyed. On the
next day, (lsth May)in the morning,
he saw from afar eight Greek vessels,
which hoisted their pendants in sign of
victory, but, unfortunately as the wealth
err was bad, he could not reach them to
have any communication with them,
and consequently he could not give us
any further information.
On the lth Of May the Greek fleet,
commanded by the brave Canaris who
was in the advance guard with fire
ship, favored by a southerly wind, at
tackled the Egyptians. Canaris threw
himself among them, and was so for
tunate as to attach himself to one of
their frigates-two other fire ships at
tached themselves to other vessels, and
in this way. fire was communicated
through the. whole feet. The conse-
quence was the destruction Of more
than SIXTY vessels burnt, sunk, and run
ashore. 1t was thought that Ibrahim
Pacha persisted in this dreadful battle.
In the early part of May, great
battle was fought in the neighborhood
of Navarin, in which the Greeks were
completely victorious. More than 5000
of their enemies were left dead on the
field. A Leghorn letter of May 80,
