LA QUOTIDIENNE, 15/11/1822, FOLIO 36x24cm, 4pp, complete in very good condition.

The situation in Morea is chaotic. After the defeat of the Turks, the Greeks occupied Korinthos, but many conflicts occur between them. Ypsilantis, Mavrokordatos, Negris and the other Greek ministers have different opinions about how they should confront the Turks. They sent Odysseas Androutsos in Central Greece for the third time, although he had left 25000 Turks to enter Morea the previous time. The Greeks have no discipline, or a concrete plan or a real army. It is a kind of Partisan war in the mountains, directly related to looting, especially for the Maniates. Most of the foreigners that came to help the Greeks did not survived. In Epirus, the philhellenic army was destroyed by 6000 Albanians that attacked the Greek army. The Greeks immediately retreated while the Europeans held their positions with tragic results as only 80 officers and some hundreds soldiers and remained alone to counter the 6000 Albanians. After a glorious defense almost 60 of them were killed and 20 escaped. Even in Morea several castles and cities are still under the Turkish rule, with the Greeks controlling the countryside. The only recent new is the capture of Korinthos. Several other news.
