Scarcely had tile Alussilmen perceived the situation of the eueitly when they demanded with three leud cbeens to be led to balt tie. Three times the Capitain Pacha refused his people 'he permis- 8oln to fight, observing to thtert, thiat the position of the Greeks was advantageois, an that they woukl get themselves into a situa- tion of emb3rrassment. This availed nothing, the Alussulmen, in their eatht.siasin, thteatene(i tH Illutijy, and go to battle wvithout orders. Yielding to necessity, the High Admiral then ordered a division to advance towards the iC,eks; this aivision soon reached in full sail the little channel.TheGreeks uttered loud cries,and remain. ead uotionless at their post.
