Mr dear Bowring. Official news.

The Turkish brig was pursued by a number of
the Greek ships on the 10th , and after a gallant
running fight, driven on a rock near Ithica. The
Greeks rifled the sinking ship and pursued 48
Turks who sought a refuse in the shire. Some
were killed, some escaped. The brig has 250,000
piastres on board for the payment of the soldiers at
Patras. Letters addressed to Usoff Pacha, the command—
ant and others, states that the troops had had no
pay for 18 months, and that the porte during that
period had not given them wherewithal "to pay the
barbers for shaving them." Usoff Pacha's bills for the pay—
ment of provisions had been rejected at Constantinople.
ciron The commandment of e applied to the porte for
cannoneers and ammunition. The reply was, that
they had not cannoneers even to supply the fleet with,
but that they would send a supply of ammunition.

a Turkish Trabaculo, with 70 men on board. The
latter was proceeding from Patras to Preuesa, with
persons who fled on account of disorders that pre—
vail at Patras. The fight was so obstinate that the
Turkish vessel went down. Seven men were la—
shen and saved; of the rest, some reached the shore,
but most of them were killed.
