have the honor Of informing you that I ar
rived here yesterday morning, IN company with
the Russian frigate Constantine. the captain OF
which ship had placed himself under my orders.
On entering the Gulf we observed, by clouds
Of fire and smoke. that the work Of devastation
was still going on. The ships ware anchored
off the pass OF Ancyro, and a joint letter from
myself and the Russian captain was despatched
to the Turkish Commander, a copy Of which I
inclose; the Russian and English officers, tho
bearers Of it, were not allowed to proceed to
head quarters. nor have we yet received any
answer. In the afternoon, we, tho two cap
tains, went on shore, TO the Greek quarters,
were received with the greatest enthusiasm.
The distress Of the inhabitants driven from tho
plains is shocking! women and children dying
avery moment Of absolute starvation, and hard
ly any having better food than boiled grass! I
have promised to send a small quantity Of bread
10 the caves in the mountains, where these UNI
fortunate ,wretches have taken refuge.
II is supposed that if Ibrahim remains in
Greece, more than a third OF its inhabitants will
die OF absolute starvation.
