NapoK de RomGnia, Dec. 2S-Towards the end
of November, Ibrahim Pacha, after having
passed the Alphee and burned Pyrgos, advan-
ced upon Gastonnu; his advanced guard, COM
posed of 400 cavalry, met Capt. Sessini, who
retired with 200 men towards the village Of
Mousouloumbi After several Intellectual al
tempts TO drive the Greeks from their position,
the Egyptians directed their attention to the
village of Sambanaga, where they mastered the
women and children who had not time 10 es-
cape. AS to lbraham Pacha, he presented HIM
self with 500 men before Barthalamion, where
| 500 Greek guerillas and more than 1000 wo
men and childreN had been entrenched for some
days; they attacked this post for whole day,
but not being able to take it, beat retreat
| The besieged then had time 10 entrench them
selves in the fort of Chloumoutri. The losses
sustained by the Egyptians in the different com
bats are estimated at 500 men Towards
ming, 100 Egyptian cavalry again presented
themselves before Barthalamion, which the
/ Greeks had evacuated-the villagers resisted
| this attack alone, and drove me enemy as far
as Gastouni This defeat so engraged Ibrahim,
that he Immediately marched with 500 men to
punish their audacity. A courier was also de-
spatched to Cloutzi, to announce the approach
of the enemy, and so picked men were imme-
atey sent to defend their brethren. When with
in two leagues of Barthalamion, they were met
by strong detachment of Egyptian cavalry, TO
whom they gave battle. The enemy, forced to
abandon the highway, sought safety in some
neighboring woods.
The conquerors pursued the Egyptians with
great animosity, and killed the greater portion
of them, but they were soon routed by 1000 in
fanlry, commanded by Ibrahim Pacha in per-
son. Far from showing any disposition to sur
render, they valantly sustained the unequal
combat for nine hours, and sacrificed their dear
| ly bought lives on The field of honor Twelve
hundred Egyptians remained on the ground,
and large number of wounded were conduct
| ed to the tent of the Pacha The obstinate re-
sistance which Ibrahim met with in this at
tempt, induced him to desist from any further
attack on the villagers of Barthaamon, who
were as determined as the $50 Peloponesslans
who went to their assistance. He, on the con-
trary, abandoned his plans, and, retracing his
steps, burned the city Of Gastouri, and pitched
| his tent before Patras.
No military movement has taken place since
that time, and the Captains Dcliganni and Ses-
SIM, at the head Of 5000 men, watch the move
ment Of the Egyptians; and lbrahim, whose
force amounts to 5000 men, including the rem
forcement from Deprano, appears undecided as
to his future operations. He has recently ad-
dressed two autograph letters to these military
chiefs, advising them 10 surrender, and telling
them hat he did not enter the Morea to lay
waste the country, but on the contrary to re-es
tablish order He was answered that the Greeks
were determined TO conquer or die!

nature of which this editor was found guilty,
the smallest punishment YVES a months i'm
prisonment and fine of 100 francs NJ. Hyde

punishment should be employed, which met
with the general appreciation of those present
and was ultimately decided upon.
