"From Smyrna, we proceeded to
Napoli di Romani, the capital of the
Greek Government, where we were
received with every demonstration of
ioy. accompanied the commander
in chief, with number of officers, to
visit the authoritative were shown a
mosque altered into senate chamber,
and we were entertained in the house
formerly the residence of the Turkish
Governor. The place is very secure
in its Notifications, being almost ano-
Their Gibraltar They have about -
or 500 men in the garrison, well arm
ed and partly disciplined; but they can
make no head against Ibrahim Pacha,
who has overran the Morea with about
ten thousand troops, disciplined and Of
6cered by Frenchmen, who, 10 the
disgrace Of their country, wear tur-
ban, and WELD the sword for the sup
preston of civil and rational liberty
This once brilliant people-the land OF
"song and story"-is now overrun and
laid waste; but the Greeks is not yet
conquered. But if may Judge from
what have seen and heard they have
no chance of success, unless the de
gitimates, THE Holy Alliance
France leading) will cease to aid the
Turks as they do, sub rosa. Lett to
themselves, the Greeks are more than
a match for the Turks-but without
speedy and powerful aid, they must
sink before their secret assailants.-
Napoli is very near The remains Of an
cient Argos, rendered memorable TO
ne by the king Of Kings" as he was
called, and the character of Clytem-
nestra. A promon.ory is still pointed
out as spot where she placed slave
to give notice when the Grecian feet
returned from Troy. A thousand as
sociations rendered our stay interest
ing in that mighty neighborhood. We
we were visited by may of their mos,
distinguished men; the following are
all my memory furnishes the names Of,
viz:-Prince Mavrocordati, Secretary
Of State, and head Of the Council;
Prince Ypsilanti, General, and brother
to the one who raised the standard OF
rebellion in sMoldavia; Conduriotti, a
very wealthy citizen, and President OF
the Senate, and Chanarius, the Com
mantler of their navalforces, and he who
has blown up Of the enemy's admiral
sbips,a very brave * distinguished man.
After leaving Napoli, we sailed down
the Mediterranean, south of Malta, and
went into the Bay Of Algiers, with
which place We communicated, and
with a fine breeze came down here,
where we are in quarantine, from which
we shall be released on the 10th inst.
Extract of a letter from an officer of the Me-
diterranean Squadron, dated Gibraltar Bay,
18th October, 1925.
"Our cruise has been up the Barba-
ry coast, to the Archipelago, Smyrna,
and thence to Napoli di Romagna, the
present capital Of the Greek govern
ment, a very miserable town, but strong
in its Notifications, and not to be trken
but by trerchery or starvation. Greece,
or rather the Morea, is perfectly over
run by Ibrahim Pacha, with about ten
thousand Egyptian troops, oficered
and disciplined by Frenchmen. He
was in camp about forty miles from
Napoli, where he has about twelve
hundred men, armed with muskets,
whom he was sndeavoring to discipline
after the European manner. The
Greeks, although driven from the field,
are not conquered, and are quite equal
to the contest with the Turks, if the
latter were not aided, as they are, by
France and Austria sub rosa"
