NOBLE The achievement IL about a5 important as the
taking of Perth Amboy would be IN the siege Oh New
York. .
Troops are constantly arriving, and the news that
the intervention is at hand seems 20 have stimulated
the authorities to new energy. The pressure on the
n0n-combatant population Is more barDar0us, ana
the military movements more rapid, but that any
thing will be accomplished III the delay recorded by
the last reports from Europe, scarce any one be-
lieves. The season has become intensely hot. and
operations on the south coast more peTllous on ac-
count OF the frequent eiTOCcOs which breaks COM
muncatiOn with the fleet. and more tedious from the
heat and the want of water for 50 large number OF
men.
Apokorona 90 day TO try again the detle OF hTapl,
and shall have another week OF battles; but these
believe VIII be the last that the Turkish army Will
be permitted to disgrace the century with iii Crete.
