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."
