ACHURV (ETOLI 3), AUG. 1.. I n spite of the superi-rity in number dour enemies, and the per secution of those who ought to assist us, our cause triumphs, and the bravery and good will of our own troops have been sufficient for every thing Three ♦ictories which they have successively gained have destroyed the general plan of attack contemplated by the 'rinks, and ruined their army. This plan, traced by a masterly hand, was com municated to the Turks by some officious friends, whom it is not difficult to discover. The Seraskier of Romelia, who was to attack Greece at the head of At the sight of the bridge of Caracos a sentiment I of horror prevailed in the mind of this Souliot Ge neral; it was before this bridge that his father, Christos 13.)zaris, reposing on the faith of treaties, was attacked at- hi► passing over with his family by 13,000 Mahmnedans. After the most heroic resist ance, 300 Souliots perished, and WO women, press ing, their infants to their bosoms, threw tfiemselves from the rocks into the watcm of the Acheloos, to escape slavery. Marcos, deeply penetrated by this sorrowful re collection, exposed to his troops, in a pathetic recital, all the horror of the horror of the crime, and excited his companions in arms to take a brilliant and lawful vengeance. " The manes," s iid he, "of the 300 brave men who perished here, the spirits of the via men are still wandering on these rocks—an expiatory sacrifice of these barbarians may appease them. Sol diers, we owe this to those martyrs of liberty, and we will offer it to-morrow !" The troops replied by a general cay of enthusiasm. Measures were then taken not to allow any opening of the enemy. that would result should they prove not to have deserted with good faith. .5.

If any chief or ovum, wires@ conduct has net been no ticiously inimical to the King and his country, shall oiler to enlist under the haauers of the Royal.

Articles 8,9, 10, 11, 12, and Is, (says the Oliserratewr Evagnol) relates to the conduct and military tactics pre scribed to this new Dort Qoixutte." It You will appoint 31) horsemen, and as many infantry, from among your most trustworthy followers, to form a guard, to the Junta, who will give you, on applying to them, all the succour of which you may stand in need—but you will pay obedience to me alone in relation to all those operations which May confide to your zeal and activity. 15. You will never lose sight of the necessity of being always firm, but at the same time affable and politic, in com manding, in order that yon tuay obtain by mild demeanour that which can Dever be the result of force alone. 16. You will adopt all the rules of discipline established by the Royal Ordinances, endeavouring to render them compatible with the ignorance of the new recreits, and with the classes of guerilas and partisans whom you will newer receive on the foot in4 of regular troops. 11. If, conformably to my instructions, the Junta shall dew mend succour from you, you will comply with their request. 18. You will render to me a detailed account of your pro• ceedinga. 19. As soon as ciiennistances permit, will establish a a large army on three different points, while the fleet favoured the operations on shore, to strike ter ror by a strong and general blow, and by several ►imultaneous and well combined attacks, to offer an amnesty in the first moment of confusion, and to stifle the insurrection in a short time by a deceitful policy, seconded by liaice of arms, was the aim pro posed. These Greeks, to whom these details were known, took their measures in consequence. Vrachory, the capital of Etat', principally attracted their atten tion. This town is situated near the site of Titer meis, the ancient capital of this province, and the Etolians always concentrated their forces there in case of invasion, to repair their losses, observe the movements of the enemy, and to check on a sudden his excursions. The Roman bridge of 366 arches, placed in the middle of the lakes to the west and smith of Vrachori, was put in a state of defence, at well as the citadel of Angelocastron. A sufficient corps of Guerillas was immediately sent to the inac ces►ible barriers of Mount Penactolicor, while the greater part of the army was directed towards the passage of Strums, between Machulas and Leperus. After this disposition of the forces which rendered Etalia impregnable, Manrocordato transmitted the necessary instructions to Gen. Nicetas, who com manded at the Thermopylae., and he repaired to Stratus. _ _ On the next day, at the arrival of Hassan Paella, the noise of the first firing was heard; the troops lying in ambush, run from all parts, after several rounds, they attacked the Turks sword in hand. The enemy sought a place to retreat in vain. With the exception of about 500 men, the corps of Hassan perished before the bridge. A small number surren dered at discretion. , you —.cation with the Generals commanding in the adjoiaing provinces. 20. By means of your guerillas you will circulate in the kingdom of a.neon and in the Hiscayan provinces, the greatest another of proclamations possible. 21. You will report to me every 13 days the state of the force under your continamt. 22. You will make known to the chiefs of partisans. that the only condition on which they can preserve their ocuusuards M that of keeping up their numbers by recruiting. 23. Tbe funds pieced at your disposal by the Junta will ►e administered by a commissary, and you will forward regularly to me the accounts with which be may furnish you. 21. As soon an you shall have assumed the command of the army, you will address a proclamation to the troops, in whioh you will make them feel the justice of the cause we defend, and exhort theme to discipline and valour. Ba,onne, Jew 7. (Signed) EGUTA. The Aearnanians, on their part, firmly resolved to vanquish or perish, burnt several of their towns and villages of easy access, in order to leave no place of refuge to the enemy, and repaired themselves to Ma crynoros to defend their frontiers. On the Mit of July, Choursehid Pacha, confirm ably to the plan, divided his forces at Latissa in two unequal corps. One carps, about 10,000 men, was commanded by Hassan) Paella. This bold com mander had promised, on pain of losing his head, to make u passage fur himself across the mountains of Agrapha, to penetrate into Acarnunis, and pro mote the story of the Paeba of Arta. This second commander was to fine° the pass of Macrynoros, Join Hassan Pacha, and thou to penetrate with him into •ktolia, to conquer it. Choursehid Pacha, at the head of the larger part of his army, arrived on the 16th July at Zeitouni. On the !Stull, he attacked the Thertnopyites; the battle took place at the pass of Montana. 'l' tie Ge neral of the Yorks, fertile in stratagems, took no part iu the contest, which he observes! trout a dis tance. His army was attacked in front and on the right flank, and broke in more than one place. The most terrible carnage preceded the rout of the Turks. Odysseus and Cautogannac particularly distingoished themselves on this day ; the first re paired with a thousand ions of bravery the wrongs which he had been driven to commit by his too vio lent temper•. Choursehid Pacha, after his defeat, was pursued to the opposite extremity of Trachis, where a great number of his soldiers also perished. Night put an end to the pursuit. At the same time Hassan Pacha had penetrated to Agrapha: the two Greek chiefs, Alexis and Hu mare, who occupied this country, had perceived the blind confidence of this rash enemy ; in order to entangle hint the better, they retreated us fur as the bridge of Cameos, vulgarly called Tutaraina. This bridge, the work of the Momans, is the only one to keep the communication between Theasaly, Moho, and Acurnania. Marcos Dozaris setting out from the latter country, arrived at the same point one day bet'or u Hagan PAdia. ~:._. .~ Such was the end of this great Ottoman army. (This is the name by which it is designated by the 'lurks.) The avast Garde only of this army passed on the 4th of July into Livadia, when Choursehid was at Larissa. It had arrived at Zeitouni in the month of June, and had profited by a moment of confusion occasioned by some private quarrels of Odysseus, to penetrate by a round-about way, but entered into Peloponnesus; it was also there de stroyed, and thus accomplished the destruction of the army of Clioursehid Paella, arrived on the three points of' Therinopyhe, Curacos, and Carinthia. Of all his army, amounting to 43 or 30,000 men, the' Socaskier has only ►aved 6,000, who have retreated with him to Larissa. The Pacha of Arta, deceived in his expectations of' assistance from Hassan, resolved to attack Acarnania by sea. On the 9th of August he effected a landing in the Gulf of Ambracie by Loutraki. He was re pulsed the same day with considerable loss, and a great number of his soldiers were drowned in re embarking for Arta. A division of the Turkish fleet at the same time disembarked another corps near the port of Candila, opposite the island of St. Maure. This corps was to unite with the Paella of Arta, and advanced as for as the valley of Warnaco. I t was there attacked by John Varnaktutte, who defeated it entirely, and pur sued it to the port, where it re-embarked, afier losing a third of its number. Civil war is kindled in Albania. Omer Pacha wishes to establish his nephew at Ikrat, as Paella of Middle Albania. A great majority of the inhabi tants, who hate him, have asked for the son of Ibrahim Pacba. The two parties have already conic to blows.
