Smyrna, 18 July. The Captain Pasha embarked at Prevesa 18.000 soldiers and
transported them to Patras. Off the coasts of Morea he captured two Greek ships
with cargos destined towards Nazarene. The prisoners were taken on board of
ships in the Turkish squadron but treated with all care.
The Austrian brig il Veloce arrived 6 July at Smyrna taken with her
two Greek prizes, one was a 6-gun goelette of Casso, the other a 4-gun mistiek
with 20 men, in fact being a pirate. The arrival of the three ships was sighted
by a large Turkish audience for who it was the first time since the revolt that
they saw ships of this kind.
