CONSTANTINOPLE, April 3. Since the inroads the Russians have made into the Morea, &c. our army has been reinforced from Asia, and now consists of 150,000 men.
Naples, April 4. The Greeks have made a horrible massacre of the Turks in the Morea, sparing neither age nor sex in revenge for the behaviour of the Turks when they seized on that country.
Trieste, May 12. It is now no longer a doubt that the Russians have taken Modon and Coron in the Morea.
Venice, May 19. The face of affairs is entirely changed in the Morea. Coron is again in the hands of the Turks, who are recovered from the consternation into which they were thrown on the first descent of the Russians.
Otranto, May 11. The advices from the Morea continue till unfavourable to the Muscovites. The Turks are yet masters of the Citadels of Coron and Modon, and the conduct of the Greeks instead of favouring the operation of the Russians, throws difficulties in the way.
From the Wesel, May 13. The grand Russian army will entirely have passed the Niester about the middle of this month, and will now hasten their operations against the Turks on every side, viz. The Generals Romanzov on the Danube, Panin against Bender, Berg against Crimea, Tottleben against Natolia, whom the fleet at Azoph will aid, and afterwards in the Morea, and the head squadron of the Russian fleet in the Archipelago and against Constantinople itself.
General Stoffeln has totally routed a Corps of 20,000 Turks who had ventured to cross the Danube, killed 3000 on the spot, took many prisoners, and all their baggage and artillery.
