The Egyptian, Greek and Turkish navies in the Mediterranean according to the Nederlandsche Staatscourant dated 26 January 1827

Frankfurt, 21 January. The newspaper Augsburgsche Zeitung dated 19 January published some tidings coming from Ancona dated 4 January. The tidings referred to the arrival of Bavarian officers at Napoli-di-Romana 5 December 1826 with the schooner Pegasus. The schooner had in a storm lost contact with her convoy and met the Turkish-Egyptian fleet, which coming from Candia arrived off Modon. The schooner managed to escape and entered the harbour of Napoli at the same time as the 36/44-gun frigate built at New York and which was presented by this town to the Greeks and called Hellas.(1) Admiral Miaulis was to command her.
