rNapoil dii RtoM; nia, July 7 (19th), 1-24. Lord Charles Murray and myself htave just rcturned fronu tlle churchl of' St. Giorgio, where we accompanied the Alembers of the Itxecutrtve, the whole of the Legislative Body, and an immense con. course of military, citizens, &c., to hear Te Detem sung fir the dcli verance of Ipsara from the presence * of the Turks. This event was announeed in a despatch of the braveMiaoali,dated on board his own silp, off' Ipsara, on the 4th (16th), on the morning of whieh day he had attacked and, routed the whole of the Turkish vessels left behind for thc purpose of carrying off the plunder and prisoners. A party of Greeks having lan(led, the Turks took refuige in several houses of the town, where they were closely invested, and not likely to hold out more than a few hours. With respect to the Capitan Paclia's squadron, it has separated, one half lsaving6gone to Snryrna, and the other to fitylene. This arose from a dread of being nmore easily overtaken by the Greek fleet, which continues to cruise be- twees Ipsara azd Scio. In the attack, which was made on the morning of the 4th (16th), several transportsand armed vessels were either taken or destroyed. Aiaouli describes the ardour and bravery of his mcn to have been above all praise: indeed, all classes of' the islanders only seem to be animatod by one sentiment-that of re- venge for the recent cruelties of the cneny-. Now that the infidels are d7iven from the above important point, it is intetded that the Ipsariots shall re-occupy the islatid, and erect a spedes of citadel which shaU be capable of resisting every future attack. The very best consequences are expectetl to result from the successes of the fleet. Other shlips are preparing, so that it is expec:ed an additional reinforcement of fifty will sail in a few days ; the whole will then be formied into two divisions, of whici one is destined to watch the Capitan Pactha, wlhile tie other proceeds off Alexandria, there to await the expedition projected by Alahomet Al-. In all the latest accounts received here, it is reported thlat, althougll the Pacha of Egypt has collected about ld,O3 mmein, anld some tarasports, it is doubtful whether lie intends carrying his threat into execution or not. Upon the whole, I do not think that therc is any thing what- ever to be apprehended from that quarter. You will receive a mnost spirited proclamation of' tie Provisional Government. on the subject of fo:eigners allowing their vesseLs to be taken up as traoesports by tie Infidel chief. This has been received by the Consuls at Alexan. dria, and produced the desired Ce.iet. Althoughl the money has not yet arrived froin Zante, we are in hopes of seeing it very soc,n, as all' the necessary steps have been takeln. From the churchr I proceeded to the Legislative Boily, also ac- companied by Lord Chlarles, where Tricoupi read a lonf paper ot mine, stating tihe objects ofmv vitit to Greece, anitl calling on tis to take inimediate steps for raisiRa tie interest of the loan. &c; wats received in the most flatteringr nranner, and promised that imme. diate attention shiould be paid to al; my propositions. A law will be passed forthwith, empowering the Executive to send hone produce for the payment of the interest, and I shall most probabl! sail in about ten days in a national vessel fbr the Tirames. I hope to be tile bearer of highly important documentsi. *vbich shall satisf ' tire creditors and all others interested in the march of tlic Greek cause. It is also in- tentled that a part of the youtihs intended for educat:on in England shall accompariy me. I am to present a leIten to the Executive this evening, containing divers proposals, to all of whiili I antic-. pate a most favourable reply. having already sounded the parties; hat as I .ask for nothing but that winch is of easy execu- tion and fur their o-wn goo.i, there is no reason to expect that difficultics will be thrown in tlIe way. Besid-s tire arrange. ments with the Government, I am conrcerting with tile Candiores as to the best means of forwarding the needful there. An ex- pedition from this to t'andia isalready in preparation: its success for the recovery of all the points lately over-run is spoken of with the utmost confidence. You will readily imagine winh what painful anxiety I look forward to the momenit of nry departure, well kntow. ing wlra- the friends ot Greece must be sufl.ring at t!e garbled ac- counts that are constantlv reacling tlrem throughi the Continent. The trmtlr is, had tie money arrived in time, I have not a doubt but tire most briliant results would irave been prodoeed cre this: and I aens satsfied that great things will be tlone soon after its arriva,'. I As to ttie success of tho Turks. it consists merely of their adiancinK in the direction of Athens anti Salon a for the purposes of plunder encrely becaise the Government lhs not had the means of sending iorth the different Generals destined to act. Troops are, how'ever, now march. ing; anid dleir presence Is only v anting to tlrive tire enenry back." GREECE. EXTRtACT OE A tETTElt ADDRESSED TO TlfE SECRETORM TO TIHE GREEK COMMITTEE.
