of two hours march from the city. by this
event, which it is hoped viii lead to the
final deliverance of the Aeropolis, the
Greeks would be enabled to'convey amin
mediate supply of provisions into the Gita-
del. The events by sea are also stated to
be equally favorable to the cause OF the
Greeks. Ten vessels laden with Warlike

LONDON, July IL.
Hamburg papers to the 9h have come to
hand this morning. The extract which we
subloin gives some further PARTICULARS from
the Greek Gazettes, of the operations of
Lord Cochrane and Gen. Cnrch against
the Turks. 1t appears, that perry Of the
latter, who had surrendered 1.-THE Monas-
terry of st. Spiridion, were mrdered by
the Greeks in violation of the cudition on
which the garrison had capitulatd. This
horrid outrage made Gen. Churchthreaten
to leave the army, if the guilty we're not
punished, and ten individuals concerned in
it were arrested. "During the niTht of
the goth, nothing took place, but the Aero
polls was in the greatest distress and Tan
ger: 1000 Greeks had marched towrds
Asomatos north of the Piraus,) to attack
in the rear the fortified position ofthe
Turks in the Grove of Olives, whilethe
other corps, were to attack in front. The
Turks, however, were strongly entrended
at all points and seemed resolved boldl to
expect the projected attack" The sip,
adds the Observer, which brought he
above news to Smyrna, was unfortunately
obliged to leave Salamis at the decisive
moment, so that several days will pass 5e-

whence, at this unexpected attack Of the
heroic courage of the Greeks, the Turks
fled like flock thrown into confusion.
From this day begins new era iafhe
military system of modern Greece. If
every one behaves tomorrow as all WITH
out exception have behaved to-day, the
siege of the Acropolis will be raised, and
the liberty of Greece insured.
My wishes and my desires are, that the
Greeks may obtain liberty for a peiod
longer than that in which they have ensar-
ed slavery, and that their glory may elual
that of their ancestors. COCHRANi.

Gen. Church, an Englishman, has been ap-
pointed Generalissimo of the Greeks. On
taking command, he issued proclamation
from which the following is an extract -,
"Hasten then, Greeks, of all ages and
ranks, who are able to bear arms ami
range yourselves under the STANDARD If
your country. Hasten to deliver the Illus
trious Athens, and expel the barbariam
from its sacred walls; hasten, and dopbtnd
that the trophies of victory which yotrwil,
gain at Attica, will surpass the preceding
IN splendor, and lay the foundation of the
safety and the immortal glory of Greece.
Son my part, will endeavor by all i'm
aginable means to support the courage Of
the warrior, and to preserve from all acts oil
violence the inhabitants of the country
through which the troops shall pass; and
if, with the assistance of Heaven, we shall
deliver Athens, the warriors must then re-
celve the reward of their valor, and the
citizens in the introduction of system
which permits no violation Of the laws.
"Such, in a few words. are my senti-
ments, which make known to all the
Greeks, at the moment when | take the
command of the army at Megara; and be
mander of the navy, as well as myself is
firmly resolved to contribute, by all his eff
forts, and all possible means, to lay the
foundation of your happiness, your glory,
and your independence"
