JULY 13.—At the beginning of-this month the Ottoman fleet was cruising off Mitylene. On the morning of the Bth it was moored at Tenedos. Cara Mehmet Pacha, who is appointed Capita Pads' is in the Mores, which may delay St tipera, tions of the. Ottopasa equate°. (items*Mts • Aw) Coutgatiikpie oldie 18th bars his. death.) The insurgents have fortified sbeeseeNesstill nee" strongly at Ipsara, and have collected e4arge:stock of ammunition. The Greeks on board the.two celebrated fireethips all escaped in the bark with lateen sails, of which wa. have spokee. They had in the middle of them a large` barrel of powder, ready to set it on fire, and blow up.. any ship of war that might have detained them, far in their heroic devotedness they had foreseen the possibility of being taken, in which case they were resolved to make their death useful to their nation by destroying another of the enemy's vessels. The extraordinary circumstance of these two fireships, one of which burnt the Admiral's ship, and the other had nearly blown up two other vessels, has produced great enthusiasm among the :slanders, and raised their pretensions to an extraordinary pitch. They have just effected a landing on the north-west of Selo, with about twenty vessels, but we think it would be a mistaken notion to believe they meant to take Possession of the island. This unexpeted descent can have no object than to favour the emigration of the inhabitants. Thousands of desperadoes, after the burning of the Admiral's ships, had attacked the first villages on the road, where they murdered the men, and made slaves of the women. Eiles Aga, to whom the care of these places had been confided, succeeded in arresting the progress of these abominable excesses, and the licentious were not able to penetrate into most of these villages. The greatest terror, however. reigned, and part of thoishabie tants have emigrated and fled to Ipsara. Whatever event might bare happened, the Greeks of the Mastic villages ought to have been sacred ; they ought to have been saved, and insured at all hazards from every attack; it was a duty imposed equally by justice and policy. On the 29th June, the Greek fleet, to the number of 62 sail, passed the channel of Scio. The fort and the vessels exchanged some hundred shots, but without effect. Six hundred Greeks from Tachesme have arrived at Scio. They are conducted every day towards Campo to get in the harvest. Eiles Aga remains encamped with his corps at Campo. All the persons who had been carried off from the Mastic villages to Scio have been sent back, except the young girls, who are retained, and refused to be restored, notwithstanding all the endeavours of the Pitch*. The contagion rages more than ever at 'Scio— there have died already at the 'French consulate 11 Catholics and 76 Greeks, including the Dragoman with his wife and children. The Greeks crowded together in the church of the consulate were swept away in a cruel manner by the contagion. To complete the misfortunes of Scio, provisions are extremely scarce, and nothing to be had but bad goats' flesh. The persons who have taken refuge in the consulate were lately in very great danges:— A Mutaultuan, moved with compassion, causer privately and gave information that the Turkish tegimein of 150 men, encamped close to the consulate, had formed the project to scale the walls of the garden in the night, to massacre the men and seize the women; but M. Digeon baffled this infernal plot. After having taken all necessary measures, he kept watch during the night in the garden. It was midnight, profound silence reigned, when the savages were heard scaling the walls. How great was their surprise ut seeing M. Digeon with his sabre in one band and a pistol in the other, at the bead of his Janissaries, all armed like himself' and ready to fire. In their confhsiun they discharged a few muskets and then reneated. On the following day, M. Digeon went to the Pacha to complain of this violation of the asylum of those under his protection. The Pacha listened to his complaints, and has banished the wretches from the island. Au abominable offence has been committed at Scio Turk, the owner of three female slaves, being unable to take them with him toTechesme, whither be was going, killed them all three.
