FROM FRANCE
By the arrival last evening, oil the packet snip
Edward Quesnel, we received Pans papers 10
the 10Th Of June, bearing melancholy idings
concerning The poor Greeks ftoo thousand .hre
hundred of trhom hare been pu! TO tie s,0ord! IN
hattie Tough, on the 10th Of May. Humanity
bleeds in bcholding this miserable but heroic
neon,e slaughtered like dogs; but manhood ex-
Tits in The desperate and unyeldiug courage
with which they meet destruction, instead Of
- had blpI
40 ooo men for the relief Of Athens. Four thou
sand had marched in the direction Of Asomato,
a, the north Of tue Pyreus, for the purpose oil
attacking the Turks in the rear, who occupied
a fortified position among the olive groves, while
the other troops were TO attack Their, in front.
On the 4th, Karaskaki commenced the attack
on the Turks, and ,rGs killed Nth 500 OF his men,
On the Sih, al engagement took place between
the Turks and those Greeks who had effected a
landing from the feet. Two thousand men,
sent BY Redschid Pacha, attacked them, and the
defeat and slaughter Of the Greeks was horrid.
Out Of % Philhellonis,s, Is were killed. The
total loss Of the Greeks in killed was . 800 men.
Lord Cochrane with difficulty succeeded in TAX
ing on board of the feet the remnant OF the ar
nay, and General Church, in rallying his troops,
narrowly escaped being made prisoner. The
expediton is said 10 have been well planned,
aud the defeat is attributed 10 the superiority
of the Turkish cavalry.
The Greeks, however, though defeated with
great loss, still continued their efforts for the
preservation Of Athens. At the receipt of the
last intelligence, General Church still kept pos
session Of the heights of Palermo with 5000
men, and on the 10th Of May, that is ten days
after the defeat, the Acropolis held out, on the
18th, Lord Cochrane was securing the Archi-
pelago in search of reinforcements.
There is an incident connected with this de-
feat which shows that the spirit oftheir fathers
is still alive in the Greeks and recalls to US the
days and the deeds Of Leonidas and the Spar
,ans: After the battle, = very honorable capit>
ula,ion was offered TO the Greeks, who are yet
besiege1 insthe Acropolis; they returned for an
swer, that" il the Pacha wished their arms, he
must come and take them, and that they would
not surrender the citadel until death" Before
the attack, Lord Cochraue promised 1000 ta!a-
ris 10 the man who should carry off the colour
Of Reschid Pacha, and the satne sum to him
who should hoist the AdmiraPs flag on The gate
Of the citadel Of Athens.
