been fought to day. IL was commenced by
the marines; who were landed on the several
points of the coast Of the Peninsula (Nuni.

were posted there. The land troops not vii

also rushed on the enemy

making themselves masters ot the enemy I

Acropoiis will be raised, and the liberty o
Greece insured

and that their glory may equal that oi tlen
ancestors. COClIRANE.
