many, that these oppressed people are in fair
way to keep their enemies at respectable distance.
I have seen both divisions Of the Capudan Pacha's
feet, consisting of ships Of the line, frigates,
vetes. and briggs in all 81 sail, at This force
was to have attacked the Island of Samos, but
they found the little hee, of the Greeks ready to
receive them, The force Of the Greeks consists
of forty sail, (nothing larger than brigs,) with
few FIRE ships. This gallant little force seems 10
have put the Pacha TO flight, for he precipitatey
retired from Samos f: the last time heard of him
b. was at Mitylene, and have no doubt, that ere
this he has been fosced back into the Dardanelles.
The camp at Escala Nova, opposite the Island Of
Samos, was broken up some time since. The
troops at this station TO have invaded the Is
land and TO have acted in concert with the Turkish

Horrid Discoreyy.-A discovery of the mort
painful and revolving description was made on
| Monday last, on board the ship Latona, which
! had just been freigh,ed, and was about to sail
from Liverpool to Lei,h When the vessel was
/ on the point of leaving the former port, most
disagreeabe effluvia was perceived by the persons
| on board, but without the cause being Immediately
| known. The smell, however, became more and
more offensive, and, on endeavouring to trace
whence it proceeded some of the crew suspected
| ii to issue from three casks which were board,
| and had been shipped for Leith. A hole was i'm
mediately bored into one of them, and no doubt
then existed as to the cause, but such was the
ture Of the stencil it emitted, that it excited the
/ most painful suspicious. The casks were Instant
ly opened, when the horrible discovery was made,
! that they contained several human bodies, some
Of them perfect. Others mutiiaied, and all in
the most shocking state of decomposition. No
time wss lost in enquiring from whence the casks
had come, and upon that circumstance be-
ing learned, infoi nation instantly given to the
Police, who despatched several Officers to the
premises. On their arrival they made strict search,
and after breaking open the doors of an under
ground celIer, place well calculated for conceal
ment, they succeeded in finding other casks of a
! similar description to those on board the Latona,
all of which on being broken open, were found TO
| contain human bodies in state too painful to
describe; some were perfect, others dissec,ed and
some we shudder at the recital, were put into
pickle! On extending their search several SACKS
were discovered, ontaining also the violated re-
mains OF the dead. The whole number of bodies
| that were found To have been taken from the silent
| tomb is no less than 80. The distressing sensa
ton which this most extraordinary affair has oc-
casioned to the inhabitants of Liverpool cannot
be described. The agitation Of those who have
lately lost either relative or friend is extreme,
from the dreadful apprehension that the corpses they
had so recently consigned to the grave nigh, be
\ among the number of those which have been so
sacrilesiously torn ON it. We are not yet aware
OF what proceedings are to follow this strange e.
vent, but certainly very rigid investigation will
be commenced.
