BY an arrival At Boston. English papers to
March 13 are rec. iyed from which he fol.

II was stated at Vienna, Feb. Is. on
the authority of letters from Trieste.
that Reschid Pacha had abandoned the
seige of Missilongh;, in consequence of
the deseriion of his Albanian troops ard
the want Of provisions. He had taken
a position in the neighhoring mountains,
but his communications with Acadia
were entirely cut ohf--The Greek
chiefs were in state of inactivity,
waiting the return of spring 10 recon-
mpnce their operations.
The Paris papers Of the last date
contain a Greek Official Bulletin, dated
at NapoIi de Romani. Dec. 90, which
states that, towards the end of Nov. lb.
Pacha, after having passed the Alpleus,
and burnt Pyrgos, advanced on Castou-
ni.-On the way 400 horsemen of his
advanced guard encountered body of
| 600 Greeks, who were stationed in a
favorable position, and maintained their
ground. The troops then turned UPON
neighboring village, where they mss
sacred the women and children. lhra-
him then presented himself with 5000
| men before the village of Barthalanoin,
| where 800 Greek gneriIlas and more
Than 1900 women and Childrea had been
entrenched several days. He attacked
this position during whole day, but I'M
able TO carry it, after sustaining a loss
of 500 men, beat retreat, and the be-
/ sic ed found time TO entrench them
selves in the Fort of Chloumontr.--
Towards the evening, 100 Egyptian
horsemen again presented themselves
before Barthalamoir. but we're driven
off by the few villagers that remained.
This defeat inflamed lbrahim to such
a degree, that he Immediately marched
with 45oo men, to punish these brave
villagers. $50 men of the garrison
were sent TO their assistance. These,
on arriving within two leagues of the
Mace, met strong detachment Of
Egyptian cavalry, who offered them bat.
tie, which was accepted. The enemy,
forced TO abandon the high road, sought
safety in some neighboring Vineyards
but were pursued, and a great part o
them killed ty the Greeks. The lat
ter we're however soon surrounded by
1000 foot soldiers, but bravely rualntain'
