AFFAIRS Of GrGece.--I.o london adyiccs of June
-, furnish the following extracts
The defeat of the Greeks before Athens, on
the 10th May Is confirmed At the instance
OF Lord Cochrane, captain lie Blanc, of the
French irigatc Juno, undertook to mediate for
the garrison of the Acropolis, and obtained an
honorable capitulation Of the Turks, who en-
gagged TO place hostages on board the frigate
tor Its faithful performances But the Greeks
refused to accept the terms, and resolved to
maintain themselves in the citadel or die. Can
tam lie Il. returned with this answer on thel3th.
The citadel held out on the 18th but il was
reported to have fallen on the 18th, and that
QUO men, and 1890 women and children. fell
into :he hands of the Turks.
Lord y ochrane had gone TO Poros to collect
as many Greek vessels as possible Tiers. and
sail against the Turkish feet from the Dardo-
nclles, which appears to nave directed its course
towards Negropont.
We have received, this morning, the AIGe-
meme Zeitnug to the lIth inst. An article.
dated Constantlnople, May 26, states, that ca.
pltal to have resounded for some DAYS with the
news OF victory, and some Of the trophies have
been exhibited in the usual way. A thousand
or twelve hundred human ears have been dis
played before the Seraglio, together with the
heads of seven Greek Captains this spectacle
ot'i'Ni'btIJ It'OltitIg, uOGS HOL prove
that the triumph achieved has been very great:
and as only eight cannon and one standard ac-
companied the exposed relics, it is suspected
that the Turkish account is much exaggerated
There is something equivoca in the proof of
victory furnished to the Grand Seignior The
1900 ears may have been taken from the heads
OF dead Greeks, but it is not the most improb-
able supposition in the world, that if a few
hundreds were wanting to make up the number
requisite to furnish what the people of Con
stantinople would consider fine sight some of
the Turks who had persisted in the battle
might be made to. contribute their ears to graf
fy their countrymcn, and swell the glory of
their commander
Other accounts of25th June, say, that news
from Vienna, has just been received of Lord
Cochrane's having obtained great advantage
over Turkish fleet. And letters from Syra
say, that the defeat before Athens had filed all
Greece with CONSERVATION, and that the Checks
complained of Lord Cochrane.
