London,
21 June. Lloyds received a letter from Zante dated 6 May according to which the
Greek blockade of the Bay of Patras and Corinthe was ended since 20 April and
that the government of the Ionian islands supplied health certificates for
Patras. Despite the cruising of a Turkish squadron between Zante and Patras the
passage was still unsafe due to some pirates which all ready captured some
sloops flying Ionian and Austrian flags. Until now none British ships was
harassed and the British warships in these waters did their utmost best.
