The Sultan has declared in the Divan that the Sacred Alliance, including Austria and England, has as a goal to destroy the Ottoman Empire and the Islamism (through the Greek Revolution), although the ambassadors of Austria and England claimed that their goal is to protect the Ottomans. England had rejected the proposals made in September to send troops of Alliance to stop the revolution in Morea, as they did in South Italy. After the beginning of hostilities between Persia and Turkey, the British ambassador sent a message to the Shah to avoid further attacks against the crumbling Ottomans, but no reply yet has been received. Russia has sent an ultimatum at the Porte and expecting a reply. Detailed presentation of all the Russian forces in Bessarabia and Georgia under general Yermolov. The British cannot achieve the ordered disarmament of the Ionian islands, as the people prefer to flee in the mountains than to surrender their arms.

Odysseas Androutsos harassed all Turkish communications in the Epirus. Persians slowly progress in the East and it is confirmed that the Ottoman Empire is crumbling in all fronts.
