AFFAIRS OF THE GREEKS.

LtUerfooi, Jnh II.
The news Of the week from London
has furnished further contradictory and
vague accounts of affairs III Greece. The
victory OF the Greeks at Modon, and oil
the Turks at Navarino are officially re-
peated.-There are also REPORTS that the
Greeks have achieved another naval
victory in the Grecian sea. One report
is from Odessa, dated the 18th June,
which ON the faith of advices from Con.
stantinohie, asserts, that on the 10th
May, the Turkish Captain Pacha was at
tackled by the Grecian Admiral SAUTU-
RUS, near Miylene, and that the former
continued his voyage without much loss.
But that on the 2oth the Grecian squa-
dron came up with and attacked with
IRE ships the Turks between Zea and
Cape d'Oro, destroyed two friga,es Zone
of which bore the flag but not the person
of The Turkish Commander in Chief
brig, and 90 other vessels; and that af-
ter this defeat the Turkish Admiral fed
back towards .dndro, in order, If poasi-
Bile TO regain Nifty lene. Another report
states that the battle took place between
ydndro and Syria. and tina, the Turks FED
to Gambia. A London evening paper al
so gives what is called an i" Ertract
from Greek Official Proclamation"
but without place or date; which com
mences by giving, " Thanks to God for
a victory obtained by the Greeks over
the Turkish Grand Fleet OF 100 sail, be-
tween the goth and 2lst May, (Old
Style and from which the Captain Pa
cha escaped with only " ships, and
which remnant was followed by divi-
sion of the Greek fleet, with every pros
pect of overtaklng it. The Admiral's
ship, it adds, was burnt, but that he had
taken the precaution to embark on board
another vessel, knowing how determined
the Greeks always are to seek the de-
s,ructlon OF the ship he is in :--a smaller
frigate is also stated TO be destroyed: Sc
veral vessels of war driven ashore on the
islands of Sira and Tho; and that
large number OF the transports have been
brought into Hydra and Spezia. Whe-

tract is said to have been made is offici-

you may draw for this sum in three or
four months. The said Agents have Or

may direct to receive it. In case it shou Id

sum in London, you may easily cause
the remainder of it to be transmitted to

pleasure advance you larger sum with

austrian Observer, July s..

The events in the Morea, although
chequered, are in the whole favorable to
the Turks. The loss sustained by tho
Egyptian Ace, at Modon, was considered
100 ,rfling to affect, in any way the gene
raj course of the operations of the able
Commander Of the invading army. The
fall OF Navarino, Immediately after the
event, is in proof of this. The terms
granted to the brave garrison will have
an effect to promote fur her success.
The generosity Of Ibrahim Pacha to his
vanqoished enemy, and the good faith
with which be executed the capitalization,
are acknowledged even by his enemies.
RETcHID PAoHA, the commander in
Chief in Etolia, Notwithstanding all the
false reports which have been circulated
respecting him, has gained considerable
advantages. His advance to the vicinity
of Anatolico and Missolohghi, is amply
confirmed; and we have no correct ac-
count of his having met with any power
iul obstruction to his progress.

JU MUS.


There is, extracted from a Liverpool
paper, and going the rounds OF our own,
anol her Idle story respecting the author
shit Of JuN1us' letters. Ii is there as
serted in strong terms, that the late Lord
Sackville, alias Lord George Getmain,
was the writer OF those celebrated adj
dresses TO the King and people OF Eng
and. The thing i. so improbable as 10
oe scarcely possible. The motives as
signed Tor his writing them are made
quate. Putting scholarship and literary
lalent out of the question, there is too
much knowledge of legal matters, AID
If the interior and exterior OF the court,
and, now and then, too much awful Dig
my to spring from the heart and brain oil
the Mndsn hero.
Take every thing into consideration,
The times, the accumulation and the ag-
;ravation of the crimes and follies, of the
three despicable governors OF the nation,
he literary ability of the writer, and his
POI err Of carrying on such an exlraordi
nary correspondence, amidst the keenes'
espionage, without detection, or proba-
BILE clue 10 1t, are facts and circumstan-
ces that compel US to look higher up
than Lord Sackville. Besides, had this
new fledged nobleman sock OF repuia
ton SD great that he could stford to throw
it into the sinking fund OF oblivion--to
go down into the grave without disclosing
the secret to any one? There were bu
two personsges in Eng land who could al
| ford such a dere iction, one of whom
was Lord Mansfield, and he is entirely
out OF the question. With what conf.
dence has it been asserted, that Sir Phil
