lIFF4IRS OF GREECE. (EXTRACT 07 A PRIVATE LETTER.) VIIACHORT (ETOLIA), Au°. 24.—1 n spite of the ' superiority in number of our 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 victories which they have successively gained have destroyed the general plan of attack contemplated by the Tut ks, and ruined their atmy. 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 a large army on three different poiiits, while the • fleet favoured the operations on shore, to strike ter mr by a strong and general blow, and by several simultaneous and well combhled attacks, to otter an amnesty in the first moment of confusion, and to stifle the insurrection in a short time by u deceitful policy, seconded by fo.ce of arms, was the aim pro posed. These Greets, to whom these details were known, took their measures in consequence. Vrachory, the capital of Etolia, principally attracted their atten tion. This town is situated near the site of Ther 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 Lis excursions. The Roman bridge of 366 arches, placed in the middle of the lakes to the west and south of Vrachoti, was put in a state of defence, as well Si the citadel of Angelocastroo. A sufficient corps of Guerillas was immediately sent to the imics• cesaible barriers of Mount Panaetolicor, while the greater part of the army was directed towards the passage of Strains, between Machalas and Leperus. After this disposition of the forces which rendered Etolia impregnable, Maurocordato transmitted die necessary instructions to Gen. Nicetas, who com mended at the Thermopylies, and he repaired to Stratoa. The Acarnanians, 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 sefilge to the enemy, and repaired themselves to Ma crynoros to defend their frontiers. On the 10th of July, Chourschid Pacha, conform ably to the plan, divided his forces at Larissa in two unequal corps. One corps, about 10,000 men, was commanded by Hassan l'acha. This bold com mander had promised, con pain of losing his head, to make a passage for himself across the mountains of Agraphu, to penetrate into Acarnania, and pro. mote the entry of the Paella of Arta. This second commander was to force the pass of Macrynoros, join • Hassan Paella, and then to penetrate with him into Etolia, to conquer it. Choursellid l'acha, at the head of the larger part of his army, arrived on the 16th July at Zeitouni. On the 20th, he attacked the Thermopyles; the battle took place at the pass of Phontana. The Ge neral of the Turks, fertile in stratagems, took no part in the contest, which he observed from 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 Cantogannac particularly distinguished themselves on this day; the first re paired with a thousand acts of bravery the wrongs which he had Deen driven to commit by his too vio lent temper. Chourachid Pacha, after his defeat, was pursued to the opposite extremity of Trachis, where a great .namber 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 Tiffin(' confidence of this rash enemy ; in order to entangle Lim the better, they retreated as far as the bridge of Caramel, vulgarly called Tutaraina. This bridge, the work of the lia.nans, is the only one to keep the communication bet ween Thessaly, and Ammonia. Marcus Bozaris setting out front the latter country, arrived at the same point one day before Hassan Paella. • • At the sight of the bridge of Cameos a sentiment ofliorror prevailed in the mind of this &Albin Ge neral; it was before this bridge that his father, Christos Bozaris, reposing on the faith of treaties, was attacked at his passing over with his family, by 13,000 Mahotnedans. Atter the most heroic resist ance, SOO Souliots perished, and 100 women, prem. ing their infants to their bosoms, threw themselves from the rocks into the waters of the Acheloos, to escape slavery. Marcos, deeply penetrated by this sorrowful re collectien,exposed to his troops, in a pathetic recital, all the horror of the horror at the crime, and excited his companions in arms to take a brilliant and lawful vengeance. " The manes," s Aid he, "of the 300 brave men who perished here, the spirits of the wo men are still wandering on these rocks-s-an expiatory • THE ,TIONAL REGISTER 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 cry of enthusiasm. Measures were then taken not to allow any opening of the enemy. • On the next day, at the arrival of Hassan the noise of the first tiring was heard ; the troops lying in ambush, run front all plata,_ 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 perished before the bridge. A small uuanber surren dered at discretion. Such was the end of this great Ottoman army. (This is the name by which it is desiguated by the Turks.) The avant Garde only of this army passed on the 4th of July into Livadia, when Chourschid was at Larissa. It had arrived at Zeitouni in the month of June, and had roiited by a moment of confusion occasioned by some private quarrels of Odysseus, to penetrate by a round-about way, but entered into Peloixmesus; it was also there de. stroyed, and thus accomplished the destruction of the army of Chourschid Pael►a, arrived on the three points of Thermopylae, Coruens, and Carinthia. Of ail his army, amounting to 45 or 50,000 mai, the Scraskier has only saved 6,000, who have retreated with him to Larissa. The Pacha of Arta, deceived in his expectations of assistance from Hassan, resolved to attack A carnania by sea. On the 9th of August he effected a landing in the Gulf of Ambracie by Loutruki. He was re pulsed the sante 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 disetnhatked another corps near the port of Camilla, opposite the island of St. Maure. This corps was to unite with the Pacha of Arta, and advanced us far as the valley of Warnaco. It was there attacked by John Varnakoate, who defeated it entirely, and pun. sued it to the port, where it re-embarked, after losing a third of its number. Civil war is kindled in Albania. Omer Pacha wishes to establish his nephew at Beret, as Pacha of Middle Albania. A great majority of the inhabi tants, who hate hint, have asked for the son of ibraltara Pacha. The two parties have already come to blows. THE ARMY OF THE FAITH. -..... In the 06servalenr Espagnol (a paper published at Madrid) of the 24th ult., we find the following, sstid to be the secret instructions given by Eguia to General Quentin, on his taking the command of the Army of the Faith. According to this journal they were found among the papers of Quesada, when surprised and defeated at Rulea : ART. 1. Ibe principal object of the army placed under your command is to separate Navarre from its obedience to the Curies:, you wi I first overrun with your troops those communes likely by their wealth to influence the rest, and reduce them to subjection to the King according to the ancient system. 2. All individuals whom you find entertaining opinions con trary to those which become a good Spaniard and a friend to his country, you will cause to be conducted under an escort to the Junta. 3. Yon will endeavour, by every possible means, to augment the army under your command, whether by the young men of the province or o, the soldiers who may desert. 4. Deserters shall be incorporated in the different corps and companies, in order to prevent their re-uilion and the evils that would result should they prove not to have deserted with good faith. 5. You will not intrust to any deserving serjeant or corporal the command of a detachment or post of trust, and you will be careful that this duty is only undertaken by troops whose fide lity is undoubted: 6. lon Knit wot give+ quarter to any prisoner taken on the field of battle, even though the enemy should trent theirs with the yreatemt . ibrbearance passible. 7. lf any chief or officer, whose conduct has not been no toriously inimical to the King and his country, shall offer to enlist under the banners of the Royal Army of the Faith, you will-reler them to the Junta, who will act in regard to them alter my instructions.

You will appoint SO horsemen, and as many infantry, from ainon:c 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 1 may confide to your zeal and activity. 15. You will never lose sight of the necessity of being always firm, but at the imam time affable and politic, in com manding, in order that you may obtain by mild demeanour that which can never be the result of force alone. 10. Your will adopt all the rules of discipline established by the Royal Ordinances, endeavouring to render them compatible with the ignorance of the new recruits, and with the classes of gucrilas and partisans whom yo■ will mover receive on the foot ing of regular troops. 17. If, conformably to my instructions, the Junta shall de mand succour from you, you will comply wiea their request. 18. You will render to me a detailed account of your pro ceedings. 19.

You will make known to Ma chiefs of par:isans, that the only condiliou on which they can preserve their tioininauds is that of keeping up their numbers by recruiting. 23: The funds pieced at your disposal by the Junto) will ha administered by a commissary, and you will forward regularly to me the accounts with which be may furnish you. 24. As soon as you DWI have assumed the command of the army, you will address a proclamation to the troops, in which you with mke diem feel the justice of the cause we defend, Lid exhort them to discipline rod valour. &some, June 7.
