Trieste, 6 November. According to tidings dated Stanchio 18 September pursued a Turkish frigate the Greek admiral Miauli and would have taken him prisoner if she had not hit a sandbank. Two Greek fire ships attacked her and one managed in entering her. While the frigate was set in fire some Greeks went on board to capture her but the Turkish officer set fire in the powder chamber and she exploded with all men on board.
Vienna, 18 November. The newspaper Oesterreichische Beobachter published tidings from Constantinople dated 26 October which indicated that the Turkish losses at Mitylene were not as large as rumours stated. There were just two warships a Tunisian polacre and an Egyptian brig blown up. The Captain Pasha returned to the Dardanelles as ordered by the sultan and the handed the supreme command over to Ibrahim Pasha. What happened after 7 October wasn’t mentioned in the tidings from Smyrna dated until 18 October so the newspaper wasn’t able to give more information. Most probably was that Ibrahim Pasha decided to stay during the winter at Candia.
