Venice, Sept. 22.—Letters from Corfu of 8th July say, that the Greek fleet was off Cape Papas, and the Turkish fleet in the Gulf of Lepanto where it was blockaded by the Greeks. The Greeks continue masters, says the same report, of the Morea, with the exception of Patras, and are advancing anew through Livadia towards Thessaly. On the other hand, fresh Turkish troops are advancing from Macedonia, and strong corps from the Danube are to follow them. It is probable there will be some hard fighting on the south of Thessaly before the present campaign is ended, which will be in the middle of Oct at the latest, because the weather, the bad roads, and the want of necessaries of all kind, make it impossible to prosecute military operations in that country. The Greeks, therefore, have but to make a few efforts more to be secure during the approaching winter.
