GREECE.

The third victory gained by Karaiskaki is confirmed. The booty taken at Volizza was much more considerable than at first reported. Salona is in the hands of the Greeks. Karaiskaki, after his victories at Arakova and Volizza, where he took 1500 horses, all kinds of ammunition, provisions, &c. surprised and cut to pieces, near Lepanto a corps of 1000 Turks, who were marching to Salona to relieve that place. Part of K's troops are to be sent to the army of Eleusis. Two hundred Peloponnesians have already repaired thither, and two thousand men, under Col. Gordon and Periomichally, are going by sea to the Piraeus, escorted by the American frigate, commanded by Miaulis. All these forces united, are simultaneously to attack the Seraskier, Redschid Pacha, who has approached Athens, from which he had retired in consequence of the victory of Arakova, thus giving Col. Fabvier an opportunity to enter the Acropolis with ammunition and provisions.

Accounts had been received at Prerisa that two vessels, laden with provisions, were at Petala, waiting orders from Karaiskaki; and that Mokry had made himself master of Stamninas, near Missolonghi.

These favourable circumstances, says a letter to the Geneva Greek committee, prove how useful our consignments of provisions have been, since the Greeks have thereby been enabled to resume offensive operations.

The Augsburgh Gazette mentions that the Porte, on the 4th of February, declared, through the Reis Effendi, that it would reject all diplomatic overtures in favor of the Greek insurgents.
