GREECE.-Thc editor of the Boston Dali
ly Advertiser acknowledges the receipt OF a
series Of the S,yrna Oriental Spectator to
October7 On the 18th of September, a fire
broke out in Smyrna, in a house occupied by
Morecte Turks, and ragged in consequence
of high wind to frightfu! extent for the
space of fourteen hours. Two thousand
houses occupied by Turks, Greeks ard Jews,
we're destroyed. The Inhabitants deprived
of their homes, TO the number Of ten thous-
and, were quartered gratuitcusly by the Pa
cha, in the villages, and III the houses winch
had been previously deserted by the Greeks.
ibrahim Pacha seems to have been in un-
disturbed possession of the greater part of
the Morea, except the city of Napoli, yet it
did not appear that he was undertaking any
enterprise. He was apparently waiting for
reinforcements from Egypt, to enable him
20 undertake the siege Of Napoli. The Spec
tator contains several letters from AleXan-
drii. These confirm the accounts which we
have already received of the bold attempt
',f the Greek hre-ships upon the port of a.
lcxandria, on the 10th of August, which
came near meeting with the most signal sue
cess, in the destruction not only Of the Egyp
tian feet, but Of q great part of the city. The
Turkish squadron under the Captain Pacha,
after abandoning the siege Of Missolonghi IN
the beginning of August, sailed for Alex
andria, where his unexpected arrival after
the unsuccessful attempt of the Greeks caus-
ed a serious alarm. 1t was expected that
the reinforcement for the Morea, would
sail about the end Of Sept; and it was said
that it would consist of 1900 troops, well
disciplined in the European manner. 1t is
asserted in the Spectator, that the Idydrotcs
were apprehending an attack from this di-
vision of the Egyptian army upon their isl
and, and were engaged in strengthening their
Notifications


These papers state that Missolonghi con
tonued to be vigorously blockaded on the
land side, but that it was open by sea to the
Greeks. Few particulars. however, are Civ
en- OF operations in that quarter, and it is
probable that they are not conducted with
much energy. The reported renewal of
the war in Gambia is represented as a very
trtlins matter. 1t is stated that only 5 CT
600 men embarked at Napoli for Gambia,
th.t they landed at small island of Cara
boura, near Gambia, and there endea, orcel
to excite the Sphachiotes to take up arms,
but without success.
