. - . THE GREENS AND TURKS. MILITARY OPERATIONS IN THE EPIRUS. COMM, DEC. IS*—ln the middle of September, the niche of Janina, Oiner Brione, joined his troops to those of three other Pachas, Itechid Me!lined, Ahmed Massa, and Haven, Paths of Lepanto, and with the Turkish and Albanian forces combined, advanced to the frontiers of Epirus. He there be gan to combat the Greeks. not by arms, but by a deceitful policy. The plan was suggested to him by the pernicious mullein of some European agents, snore pernicious to the Greeks than the Turks them. K lee & The English Consul at Prevess, M. Meyer, voluntary undertook to conduct all these little in trigues, by which they holed to bring back the Greek chiefs to obedience to what is still called their legitimate Government. M. Meyer even replied to reproaches made to him by some friends of humanity and justice, that he only coufi,rmed to the iustruc- Lions of his ambassador, Lord Strangford. In spite of the long effort of these agents, nothing could be obtained but the neutrality of one of these chiefs, whore firmness was shaken by measures for pettiag to death his son, who had been for two years hostage at Janina. This chief, Varnakiote, drew with him two superior officers, but was soon shin doned by his soldiers. 'the other chiefs repulsed with indignation all prolamin Omer Brione then resolved to try the fortune of anus, and marched against Etolia. • On his approach the inhabitants, of their own ac. mad, burnt the villages and towns, and transported their provisions into the mountains or to Missolunghi. The bridge of Ala Bey was then broken down, and that of Angelo Castron put in a'condition of defence. The most advantageous positions were occupied bv Guerillas, and the mass of the Greek army assembled in the peighboerhood of Missolonglii and the pas. orleading to Lepanto. At these two points leh the enemy chiefly coveted, they waited for with confidence. . ' I 4 4 the time of this devastation two old Albanian ails of consummate experience perceived the firm evolution of the Greeks, and wished to persuade Omer of the danger to which he would expose hie army and his military reputation. While they con tinued to give the reasons of their opinions, he inter rupted them roughly and said, " I should be no longer litione, th• Conqueror of the English, if I did . net disperse like sheep all these troops and your fierce Greek Guerillas.' This Pilch* is fond of as suming this title of Conqueror of the English, because he commanded the Albanian army which iu 1107 defeated the English at Abou-Meout; in Egypt, of whom he made a horrible massacre. The two ohl chiefs,, on this proud answer of their com ' respectfully and withdrew. asunder, boWed a. The next alty, October 25, the orders were given, and the Muasulman army, divided into separate co lumns, mud the Acheions on two points—the first, eumnianded by Omer Pacha hi person, left Mucha ks, and marched for the ruins of Vrachori. The end, under litichid Pacha, passed the river near the sea buve Cutochi; but, near Stumna, the pas sage was warmly disputed by the Greeks, who repulsed it on two different attacks. After many Ineffectual movements, the Turkish commanders de termined to unite again, which they effected after wards, after efforts which cost them great losses. At the head of this cembined army the Turkish Generals conducted fife consecutive attacks on Mis solunglii. This place' had only fur its defence a ditch, which Muurocordatos had recently had dug across the long causeway which leads to the town. Fifteen hundred Greeks, commanded by the same hluurocordatos, and the intrepid 13ozaris, constantly repulsed from this intrenelonent all the attacks of the Turks with considerable hiss. The enemy then turned its attention on Anatolicon, a little island , 10 flaced in the midst of the Messes and the arm of the sea near Missolonghi, but lialanis at the head of SOO men, stationed on this island;deteated all these attempts. After these ill-fated operations, Omer Pasha marched on the pass of Caki-Scala to open a passage, and establish communications with Lepanto._ '1 he two Streamlis, Macrys and Zutigus, who defended the defile, attacked him with vigour, made 700 Al banians bite the dust, and threw ►he rest into a com plete rout. Things were in'this state when the Greeks re , ceived reinforcements from the canton of Agrapha sud the environs uf T liermi ipyl re. They then attacked the enemy on Nov. 17, not fir from Stinenia. At first the Turks sustained the attack with vigour, but at length Boner's and Zotign., who commanded the wings of the Greek army, brought fi'rw'trd their corps, and by a most animated attack on the flanks of the enemy, decided the fortune of the day. The greatest disorder immediately prevailed in the Turk- WI army, which from that moment sought its safety • in eight. Pursued as fiir as the Achelous, they lust a great number of men in the river, who were drowned in attempting to crass it. The Turks were then hantsatd its their way to &L - 4 1 Mr:ME • 4 S . THE NATIONAL REGISTER Acarnania, where they met with more losses. Fi nally they arrived in the very worst condition at Vliclia, near hfacrynoros, from where they re.enteied Epirus. Dt.e.l4.—We have received to-day from Prevesa and Janina the news of a Capiii•badii having ar rived at Larissa, and caused the head of Choursallid Pacha to be cut off. Another Capidi-bachi, arrived at Janina, has declared Omer Pacha to be dismissed from his pachalic of Lower Albania, to which the Divan has appointed at Asiatic Pacha, culled Abud. Podia. It is added. that Omer's bead is to be cut off on his arrival at Janina. The same Capidi-bachi is appointed to conduct the Albanian chiefs to Con stantinople, and particularly 'Pubic-Albas, Hugo- Mouhourdar, Selichtar et Bekir-Zogadoro. The latter, who rommands at Prevesa, has already re plied to the Capidi-bachi who came to arrest him, by several shot, and has declared ugainst the Porte. The same Turkish officer has brought three finnan,; the first exacts from all the inhabitants the silver vessels at very low prices; the second imposes a contribution of the canton of Janina ; a cuntribu-. t . of 400 purses, 200,000 piastres for the repairs of some strong place which is not named ; the third obliges the former inhabitants of Janina to leave All their places of refuge, to return into the town. Sematts, Dec. 12.—Letters from Janina, of the 7th of November, announce that the Albanians are in open rebellion, and have elevated the grandson of Ali Paths to the dignity of Omer Pacha. Omer Brione has been obliged to flee. The Haiti-Sheriff addressed to the new Grand Vizier Abdullah Pacha in substance as follows: " Thou must know that I have dismissed Sulich- Pacha, my predecessor, on account of his lukewarm neat and incapacity. I have punished or dismissed some other of my servants. I have chosen thee be cause I place confidence in thee, and I exhort thee to obey scrupulously the laws of the empire and our itogreligion. The state of theempire is known to ail the world. and particularly to thee. Collect, therefore, all the powers of thy mind, that the ene mies of the state may be destroyed. God knows the danger is great! I have chosen thee among the Viziers on account of thy capacity, and I have sent away servants who were very enlightened. It is my Imperial will that you consult with the Uleums and the faithful representatives of the Janissaries. In these difficult times • single will ought to direct all hlthouhnen." CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. By the Venus, Kilgotw, which arrived on Monday from the' Cape of Good Hope, letters have been received in town from that colony to the 17th of October. The Venus left St. Helena on the 30th of October, and on her passage from that island to . Fahnouth, on the 2d of December, spoke the Ada. *ant, homeward bound from Calcutta, in lat. 34. 6 long. 34. 48. all well. The thllowing is an ex tract of a letter brought by the Venus, dated Cape Town, October 16:—" Our last accounts from our settlement at Graham's Town continue to be of a very unsatislitctory kind. The settlers are very dis contented with their situation, and such as have been able to raise the means and obtain the &over nor's permission, are rapitl.y quitting the place,— In the environs of that settlement the Caffres have lately made smite dangerous incursions, and several of the settlers who had taken up their habitations in the immediate vicinity, had, it was repored, fallen victims to the savages; this also had been the case wiih some individuals who-had imprudently ventured in the woods, for the purpose of hunting, and who have not since been heard of. but it wus feared had been murdered, as mice' of a party of Calks having been in the direction of their route, were discovered by a patty who were scut in pur suit of the absentees. To add to the inconveni ences of those settlers, residing in the outskirts of Graham's Town, hostilities are said w have taken place between two of the Cuffree tribes, in their neighbourhood, and several cattle have been carried off ut various times by the marauding parties of the combatants, in their pursuit of each other through or near to the European settlements. Two muskets bad also been stolen from the house of one M'Citaire, whose residence was on the borders of the Hotten tot country. Some of the settlers, however, on this side of Graham's Town, bud succeeded in ma nuring, and, in some measure cultivating, several plots of the ground there which had hitherto defied all agricultural ingenuity and industry ; and there was every prospect of a considerably further portion being brought fit for cultivation by the next season, although the impreg nation of saltpetre in th ground is very strong, and exceedingly difficult to get rid of. All hope of civilising the Cares is now given over; the natural feature of the people is ferocity, and they do not possess any of that uncultivated shrewdness which has been so much observed in many tribes and nations of savages; they are very cruel, and without any ideas of society,. 'or any ap parent wish to know moo than thcit Auk state of .... 4.16 life has already taught distal sad ous settlers bast now given over all thought at attempting to Alois. their frhulship, and are only *axiom to guard thaw• selves against the consequences of their animosi,y. The tribe of Kist King is, howeven, some exception to this rule. This chief, ever since he has obtained. his authority, has been very anxious to be upon sociable anu intimate terms with the English, and, has rendered us all, the assistance in his power to check the atrocious inroads and daring•depredations. of the natives; and, through his means, frequently droves of cattle, belonging to settlers, which would otherwise be inevitably lost, have been recovered..—. In return for these favours he has received consider able presents from the Governor, as well as from some of our principal settlers ; but although this tribe is somewhat sociable, no hope is entertained. that any considerable intercourse will ever be car— ried on between the European settlers and the na tives. I should here mention the, portion of country• held by them comprehends the most lertile, as well. as the most barren part of the country." FROM SATURDAY GAZETTE. BANKRUPTCIES ENLARGED. L. H.
