GREECE.

A Paris paper of 8th June, received at Portsmouth (N. H.) contains a long letter from Zante, of the 2d May, detailing the operations of Ibrahim Pacha at Modon, and the brave resistance which he met with from the patriots. A summary of its contents is given below:

"After the Egyptian chief had made good his landing at Modon, &c. he attempted to penetrate into the Morea, and to take the Greek town of New Navarin; where the Greeks had only a garrison of 700 men, which was afterwards reinforced to 1200. This expedition was accompanied by artillery served by Europeans, and apparatus, directed by foreign engineers. After two assaults in two days, in which he was successfully repulsed with immense loss, and a cannonade on the third, he was compelled to abandon the design, leaving in one of the assaults, or at the foot of the ramparts, more than 400 Egyptians, negroes, and strangers, struggling with death, for the Turks were unable to remove any of their wounded." The second assault was on Easterday, which the Greeks usually hold as a high holiday. On the 2d of April, a Grecian force of 5000, under Constantine Bozzaris, appeared in the vicinity, and the next day the elder Michellis, whose son had gallantly sacrificed his life in a defence of Navarin, arrived with 600 warriors from Ilaronia. In this emergency, the Egyptian commander raised the siege, but was not able to escape, being encircled by 17 or 18000 Greeks, who were in communication with a Grecian squadron, under Miaulis, who had landed 3000 Islanders at Navarin. The writer adds, that a corvette sent from Zante to reconnoitre, had returned, and the captain reported that he had seen a combat, in which the Turks had a thousand men killed and many wounded, although the affair was not general-- and that the Greeks continued to harass their invaders. The following are extracts from the letter:

"The Greek cruisers have made several important captures. The campaign is the last for the Turk. Greece will be free and independent; its glory is immense. I've fathers onractives the historian of the regeneration of Greece, will consecrate t. a one of his pages; the noble death of Juan Maur Muhells, is worthy to be recorded with that of Mark Bozzaris, whose story served as the plot of a tragedy represented at the theatre of Athens. The Hellenic senate, amid the occupations which distract its attention in the south of the Morea, is also occupied without relaxation with the siege of Patras. Count Andri Metaxa, who is at Gastouni, continues to prepare his suit for a body of 16000 men, who are in part already assembled at Achaia."
