possession Of the most commanding positions, and
placed his artillery in good situation to lombard

confusion created among them, he ordered
sault, in order TO force the enemy TO shut them |
selves up in the citadel Six companies of the frs
battalion scaled the walls, which the Turks defend |
ed with frmness from the terraces, but were soon
crivenback.
The Greeks thus far had the advantage, but the
Turks having prepared heavy battery, fired upon
that of the Greeks which was soon disabled One
officer and some were killed and their fire was
silenced. The Turks continuing the cannonade
which the Greeks could not reply to, and being
exposed to the fire, the young soldiers OF the Colo
mel became terrified.
Al the same moment the advanced posts of the
Greeks announced the approach Of reinforcement
OF 1900 Turkish troops, which obliged Col. Fab
ver TO beat retreat, for the purpose of his troops
| concentrating in favorable position: in doing
which he was attacked by the Turks and had ten
men killed and forty wounded. The loss of the
Turks was more than double, but number of Phil
hellenic officers wounded, and the brave Capt.
Baraudier killed.
The uneasiness displayed by the Colonel's
troops compelled him to retreat upon Lambur, an
hour and half's march from Carysto where the
enemy dared not TO disturb them. The Greeks kept
their position at Lambusi for number Of days,
without seeing the Turks, who, ON their part, pro-
fitted by the absence Of the Heenese to supply
Carysto with fresh troops from Negropont
Alter having reinforced the garrison Of Carysto,
all the Turkish cavalry marched to the attack of
that of the Greeks at Jarca, where they made n

could not oppose for want of artillery. The posi-
! lion OF Col. Pabvier became daily more critical
without provisions or munitions, and blockaded on
all sides He despatched couriers TO different plac
es to demand aid OF the government As soon az
they received this intelligence, vessels of war were
despatched from SYRIA with provisions. The Ipsa-
riot vessels at Esne, Immediately sail, and four
hours after these events were known at HYDRA, Sc
veral vessels were despatched. The irregular
troops at SYRIA under Captains Grisoti and Varse,
10 the number Of 700, showed on this occasion a
great devotion to their country and laudable zeal
10 go TO the assistance OF the regulars; they EN-
harkej immediately, and their arrizs with the
Greek vessels changed the face of affairs. The
Turkish vessels fled and took refuge under the guns
of Carysio.
Colonel Fabver then held a counsel of war, on
which 1t was determined 10 retreat. The cavalry
and artillery were ordered 10 Marathon and Athens;
the fresulars were stationed in the villages of Ati-
ca, and the regular infantry embarked with Colonel
Fabyier for the Island of Andres. The retreat
was made under the cannon of The Turks without
loss OF men Or baggage. The loss oil the Greeks

scented written protest against the mode of vo-
ting by tallles (tens OF voters at a time) it further
set forth, that Ire, Goblet. had the majority of
eiertdrs IN his favour, and that if the Mayor con-
tlhued to poll The votes slowly, TO admit 20
many delays aud then such partially, as he had
done hitherto, the majority of electors would not
be able TO give their votes in the Time OF election
limited by law, spd that the election would there
ioie Oe nun and void The reading of this re-
ceyei with shouts from the multitude.
| The Mayor denied that he had introduced the
mode OF voting by laes, it had been the standing
custom OF The borough. AS to partiality he would
race the charge in any court in Chrs,eBdom.
Captain Barrie, amid the confusion, denied that
he had formed coalition with any candidate
(shouts OF dsapprobation) while he was on his
legs tie would tell them anecdote of Mr. Cob
belt That gentleman went 10 elector and ask |
ell him Tor his wore; the elector told him he had
promised TO give his vote to Mr.. Wood and Mr.. |
Sianly. MIR. Goblet tried to persuade him to |
break bis promse-the eector remained firm to |
his promise; when Mr. Goblet saw no chance of
obtaining the vote, he said to the elector, Nav
starvation forever seize YOU (Shouts Of disap-
proba,ion.)
MIR. CObbett: " Oh! don't mind Captain Barrie. |
my friends; don't you know that he is the noted |
Bob Barrie, the celebrated dog fighter daughter,
aJrd renewed uproar.)
Mr.. Hood stepped forward, and confirmed
Csps Bsrrle's account of Goblet having wished |
eternal starvation 10 an elerior who refused TO vote
for him.
COb5eH All the parties opposed to me, be- |

my Canvass, all know. The accusation is lie as |
great lie as ever was uttered by even a Canada |
commissioner (irom the crowd, " take that Bar |

crowd, q" take that, Wood.")
The mayor: 1t appears, that since Mr.. Cob |
Ue't was behind on the poll on Saturday evening, |
ne mas spent Sunday In fabricating these charges
and complaints; bat ] defy him; dare him to make |
any charge against me in any Court in the king
dom. dare him 10 accuse me before the House |
OF Commons My duty, according to law, is to
take the votes as they come. This will make the
polling EN- slower, for every of Mr.. Cobbet,'s
voters VIII be subjected TO siricter examination

days. 80 that you, Mr.. Goblet, are Defeating
