operations of the army of Ibrahim Pa
cha, under the dates of Modon, May
% and "a, but no movement subse-
uuent 10 the surrender of Nayarin on
the 18th is spoken of. Among the Of
6cers of that garrison were Hagi Girls
TO, Tafropulo, Captain Nicolo, the
Archbishop Of Modon, a son of Petro
Bey, and Captain Yatraco; they were
all set at liberty except the two last,
who were retained as hostages, until
the TWO pachas Selim and Ali, detail
ed as prisoners at Napoli di Romania
should be set at liberty.
Ii is stated that Condurioti had
under his command in the Morea, lo,-
900 Bourmeriotes, 1000 of whom with
a number Of Moriotes were employed
in the siege Of Patras, but that the
Moriotes refused TO serve from jealousy
Of the foreign troops, and that most of
the latter, on hearing that the Turks
had invaded the country of Missolon
CHI. had returned for the defence of
their homes, leaving Patras OBJ
served only by a small body Of troops.
The Greek government represented
this desertion as a measure ordered by
them to pacify the Moriotes, but they
insisted as q further means of purchas-
ing their good will, that C%olocotroni,
and his colleagues should be restored,
which measure the government had
been Obliged o accede to.
II is stated that on the 4th OF May,
N,Ichemet Pacha ~bombarded Missolon-
CHI and Natolico, and that he was at
the head Of $4,000 men, and occupied
the whole country from Arta to Mis-
s6longhi. IL is stated also, under date
of Syla, June 3, that the Turks had
Just invaded A,tica. A Turkish brig
had gone ashore at SYRIA. Part OF the
crew consisted of Franks, Greeks, and
Armtnians, who were all put I death
aid dragged through the streets. The
Turks were saved TO be sold.
\ letter from Athens dated May IL,
says-"The proud the cunning Ulys-
ses, who in turns has betrayed the
cause of the Greeks and that Of the
Turks, and ended by surrendering HIM
self into the hands Of Gourra, has been
brought hither, 10 the Accropolis,
where he lies chained in a tower, which
he himself had built. | have this mo-
ment come from his prison. He has
relied much upon his former friendship
with Gourra. He came ear being
stoned at Salone, and was ~miraculous'y
saved by the guard that escorted him"
The Spectator Of June Sth, mentions
that the Captain Pacha had been for
some days past on the coast OF Andres.
In consequence of a gale of wind, a
Turkish frigate had been dism~sted,
and surrounded by 6re-ships and burnt.
ATurkish brigpursued by the Greeks,
had run upon the rocks OF syria, and
was lost. This is the same vessel
mentioned in the letter from Syra.--
The Turks had also lost six transports
loaded with munitions Of war, which
fell into the hauds OF the Greeks
They were supposed to be destined for
Prevcsa.
This is the only notice Of the naval
battle in the beginning Of June, Of
which we have had an account through
the French aud English papers.
We have lately examined a miniature
painting of no ordinary stamp. There
is a mystery connected with this truly
splendid effort of the pencil which time
or chance may unraycl. 1t was found
in Westmoreland, in Va. in the year
1870, by an old negro, who ploughed
it up from the side Of a large stump,
where it is more than probable 1t had
been buried for many years, as 1t was
more than three inches under the sur
facc-the moulding in which IL was CT
cased had entirely decayed. The old
negro carried it TO his master, who
washed it and finding it to be a painting
of great merit determined to keep II,
in order, if possible, to restore 1t to its
RICH, owner. 1t was shewn TO all the
people of the country, but not an indi-
vidual had ever seen it or could form
any idea, as to what family 1t might
belong. Several persons were extreme
" anxious TO possess it, but no price
would induce the old gentleman TO part
with it, and i, has remained in his sami-
" Cor s. years-the old gentleman died
several years ago, and left it in charge
Of his wife, who dying but i few weeks
since gave it in trust TO her, son, with a
request that he would use every effort
TO discover a knowledge Of its original.
A gentleman 10 whom it was shewn,
expressed a strong belief that II was a
likeness OF the lll-fated Sir Walter RAJ
LEIGH. We know not on what grounds
this opinion is founded. One thing is
certain that it belongs to some English
family of distinction, and may have
been lost by some British officer OF the
revolution. The depth it was buried
in the earth, and the manner in which
