TIIESSALY.  44 We began offensive operations in Thessaly on the 12th April ; our army was divided into two separate columns; the first was to attack Neopatra at the same time that the other was to advance bn Zeitouni. The latter, commanded by General Nicetas came by sea ; it disembarked on the 13th April, in the bay of Echinon, near Stelida. The enemy soon appeared with superior forces, and twice beaten, retreated on Stelida. Pursued even here, it soon sought safety in Right, and 80 Mahometan Albanians, who had thrown themselves into two fortified houses to resist the occupation of the town, were si on, with the houses, a prey to the flames. " The same day Odysseus advanced at the head of a battalion on Santa Marina, a small town of much importance near Zeitouni, and carried it by, sioem. " Coutoyanne, who commanded the other eblumn, advanced againstNeopatt a, defeated the enerriy,whbrn he met about a league from the town, pursued bim to the gates, and even burnt a part of the suburbs where the Turks kept up a fire. At the commencement of the night he returned to his post. 44 On the 14th, Easter-day, the enemy advanced with all his forces, bringing with him a considerable park of artillery. At first he marched on Santa Marina, but after making several useless attacks on this position he marched to Stelida. He attacked it three times, and was three times repulsed with considerable loss. Ills cavalry, which supported the principal attacks, suffered much more than hik infantry. " At midnight the troops which occupied. Stelida effected their junction with Odysseus at Santa Marina. The enemy, who thought them dispersed, marched towards this town the ensuing day. A continued cannonade, well kept up but badly directed, did no harm; then he advanced to the entrenchment% which. he thought were defended by only a small number of men. After three discharges the Greeks attacked him sword in hand; he beat a retreat and was pursued nearly to the gates of Zeitouni. These operations were suspended for a few days by another circumstance. Hassan Pacha, drunk with the blood of the peaceable peasants whom he had murdered in Macedonia, in the environs of Naousta, had advanced on Thessaly, at the head of 10,000 men.- Proud of his massacres, he threatened to cross the morons and defiles, to rejoin the army of Joussonf, at Patras. On April 26th he penetrated to Agrapha. Stergios, who commanded there, profiting by his confidence, feigned a retreat After drawing him into the most difficult situations, he attacked him suddenly. The carnage was dreadful—mote than half the Turks were cut in pieces on the spot, and a great number perished in the retreat. Hassan Pacha, with the ruins of his army, reached Phanari, which another Tut kish army had occupied for some time.  "Afterwards the Agiaphistes advanced on Chasia, a chair& of mountains which connects Pondus with Olympus; united with Stournane, who commands in this country, they attacked on May 25, at Keracha, the Turkish advanced guard, and routed it. On the 27ih, they marched to Plianari. The combat which ensued there was bloody, and for a long time doubtful. At length the enemy, harassed on his Banks, took to flight in great disorder, abandoned his camp, provisions, Ste. lie reached Triccala, which he evacuated two days afterwards to retire to Larissa. " At noon, on the 22d of May, the Turks in Neo. patra abandoned the town, from being violently at, tacked; they passed the Sperchius, and retreated to. wards the North. " From this theiment the enemy 010,011 only of retreating at a)/ prink ; and, at the beginning of Jtrne, Thessaly, aS far at Likrissa, was acoated. FRENCH FUNDS, ,%uo. 12.—Five per Cent.
