The wife of Ali Pasha has arrived in Constantinople with a Greek Priest (!). They expect to find out where the treasures of Ali Pasha are hidden. The Egyptian fleet landed troops in Crete and restrained 27 Greek vessels that tried to transfer rebels to the island (4 ships were sunk). Kakosouli surrender to Omer Pasha. The traffic of Greek slaves has been prohibited. The whole empire is full of Greek slaves. Order of disarmament of Muslims (to avoid the constant attacks against the Christians). Further very detailed report about KANARIS CHIOS ATTACK : The 3 Greek fire ships, were anchored at Thymiana (not far from the Ottoman fleet), pretending to be tobacco cargo under the Austrian flag. The Greeks had even Austrian passports, stolen or false. In the evening of the 19th they had been authorized to approach the port and at night, without raising any suspect, they suddenly attacked. The admiral’s ship exploded. Kapoudan Pasha is dead. Several other details. Greeks tried twice to approach to the fleet without success but this time their plan succeeded. This is a great loss for the Turks. They accuse Kapoudan Pasha for this catastrophe. The new Kapoudan Pasha is a man with high abilities, but has not long experience at sea battles and his main goal, Patras, is far away.
