The French papers of Sund...
ThCe French papers of Suniday, which arrived last night, contain no ncfvs of the slightest importance, unless we can give credit to the intelligence which they communicate of the total defeat of the Egyptian fleet by the Greek Ad- miral MIAU.iS between Cos anid Rlhodes. The son of the Viceroy of Egypt had advanced to the gulf of Macry, be- fore the latter island. Thence he procceded to join the Capitan Pacha, who after his disaster before Samos had retired to Bodroun. The Grcek Admiral MIAULTS, who with 60 vessels had for a long time watched the movements of the Egyptian fleet,being reinforced by a Greek squadron from Samos, attacked on the 5th of September the two Mus- sulman fleets. Thebattlelasted forincarlysevell hours; severai Egyptian ships were burnt, and some transports sunk, with troops on board. The Capitan Pacha lost his Rear- Admiral's ship, and two others. The remaining ships of the Egyptian fleet were pursued by the Greeks. Most of them took the directioti of Alexandria. Some transports, overtaken in the waters of Rhodes, were destroye(l. A small number of Egyptian vessels sought for safety in the port of Suda, in Candia. Miore than a fourth of the troops destined for the Morea died in the midst of the flames or the waves, and the rest had become a prey to a contagious diseose. After this new defeat, the Capitan Pacha took flight, and sought safety in the port of Olivier, in the island of Mity- lene. Admiral MrAULIS went in pursuit of him. Such is the statement of the Constitutionnel. The Etoile, dated Mlonday, contains the following paragraph on the same subject: " VENICE, OCT. 4. " There is no longer any doubt that the fleet of the Viceroy of Egypt has been so roughly handled, that it can no longer keep the sea before the Greeks, who have burnt a r ase, 2 frigates, 3 corvettes, and 5 brigs; and taken 3 corvettes, 6 brigs, 40 gun-boats, and 50 transports, belonging to different nations. Theremainder have been dispersed, and put to flight. It is added, hut this needs confirma- tion, that on the 15th of September, the Greeks brought into Napoli di Romania, a frigate, on board which were the treasures of the army of MehmnetAli, and his son Ibrabim. " Besides this, the end of the disasters of the Capitan Pacha is announced, who has died of grief. The fate of the campaign for this year is determined."
