Livorno, 23 March. Letters of Smyrna reported a small
Turkish fleet coming from Gallipoli coming in the waters off Tenedos to protect
the coasts of Little Asia. The Greeks flotillas in the waters were strengthened
by some fire ships and a battle was to be expected. In all Greeks harbours
preparations were made and a strong Greek division coming from Hydra was
assembled in the harbour of Napoli-di-Romania probably for an attack.
