The former would, in fact, tired with the ob seure part they are made to act. have already left Paris, but for the reqaests made to them by some per sons of distinetion.

The Christians hurried eag erly to the spot, and fraud the guns had been spiked during the night by the traitors, wbo immediately be- ’ gan to fire on their fellow Christi ans. “ Every thing is lost—save yourselves!” At this unfortunate signal, the seamen of Ipsara began to fire at the Turks, whose large ships wild not eome near the share. Ail the Christians who were at hand embarked on board the vessels, and some of them esoaped. At 8 o’olook, the Osmans landed; and the Sehyp etars, to whose treason they were indebted for success, were their first victims. The Greeks, who could not get on board ships, took refuge io the mountains, aod the town was set on fire.
