It's stated under the Smyrna head of Dec. I.
y that the Greek government had sen, an invita-
non TO the primates OF Hydra and Spezzia, to send
INTO Inc Morea the CREATE pant of the troops which
they nave taken into their pa, in order TO defend
themselves from the attacks of the Turks. One

Ii appears that the Greek Government breads the
jealousy that exists between The Romeliotes and
The Moreotes, and that il wishes 10 keep them at
distance IRON each other. They no longer dread
any attack on Hydra, since the Captain Pacha ,as

to support uiterorIy, if that should be necessary
