JULY 18. Parris Lrenta.—l infetmed you, in one of my former letters, that large sums of money had been sent from Leghorn to the Captain Pacha ; I mentioned the houses which had made the payments. the. vessels and Captains employed in transporting it, the pleasure of the enemies of the Gieeks, who anticipated treason. I pointed out to you the person who was directing all the intrigues; a part of these manmueres have succeeded: the standard of the Cross Is again bathed with the blood of martyrs. The Captain Pseha, Ithoreb, who had been lying at anchor at Mitykne for two months, provided with money, and convinced that he bad no chance of success from force, resolved to employ corruption. Being infoimed that the garrison of the fort of Ipsara consisted of 1500 &hypetars, mercenaries and infamous like aU those who sell their blood for money, he addressed himself to them, and gave them earnest of a greater reward, premising each one 1000 piastres if they would amender the Wineries they were appointed to defend. —The thing was kept secret, sad the Ipsariots, informed that the attack was to be directed against their island, thought themselves in a condition to repulse the barbarians, when the Turkish squadron appeared of the island on July 4th. A part of the Ipsarians kept in the ding to hit on the enemy at the moment when the action should begin. The Turks were to be attacked by fire-ships, while the batteries on shore were firing at the ships. The people were animated with an 'testiest spirit; men, women, old and young. received the sacrament, and prepared to die fighting. The Worm was hoisted at the telegraphs, and all the people, with the sign of the Cross on their foreheads, implored of Heaven to grant them victory, or the palm of martyrdom. On the 4th, at five o'clock in the morning, the Turkish advanced squadron doubled the Cape, and approached the harbour; the batteries were silent ; the forts garrisoned by the Schypetars hoisted Turkish colours. The Christians hurried eagerly to the spot, and found the guns had been spiked during the night by the traitors, who immediately began to are on their fellow Christians. " Kerry thing is Jut—sane evansekvs." At this unfortunate signal, tbe seamen of Ipsara began to lire at the Turks whose large ships could not come near the shore. AU the Christians who were at hand embarked on board the vessels, and some of them escaped. At eight o'clock the Osmanli' landed ; and the Sebypetus, to whose treason they were indebted for success, were their first victims. The Oreeks who could not get on board ship took refuge in the mountains, and the town was set on fire. The whole of the 4th was passed le fighdne and in murdering. On the Sib tie Gr twin Pacha caused it to be published, that he would give 300 plestres to whoever should bring in a prisoner alive. This was a useless promise. The tygers were at liberty, and all the eh and Tth of July.the work of massacre was going on. On the Mb Khoreb blew up the forts; 7,300 heads of women, old men, and children were hung to the shrouds and to the yards of his ships. The Asnbassa- , dors of the. Christian Powers will soon see these glorious trophies of barbarism arrive at Constantinople. About two thousand sailors thirty of their best ships, and the Primates succeeded in reaching Samos. On the 13th, the Captain Parka returned to Tditylene, with ten old vessels which be had captured. Treason only could have given him success, but this success will inspire the Greeks with flesh energy, and it may be dreaded that the lives of the eighteen thousand Masselmen who are in their hands win be sacrificed, to expiate the crimes of then Asiatic brethren.
