[10] During the dissensions of the Regency and the _corps diplomatique_, old Kolocotroni, who was then confined in the fortress above the town of Nauplia, once remarked--"These Franks abuse us for quarrelling, but"--and here he threw out his right hand with the fingers wide apart towards the town of Nauplia below him, exclaiming, [Greek: na], with true Greek energy--"they worry one another like dogs--to unshame us." [Greek: Trogountai san schulia dia na mas exentropiasan.] [11] Published by RIDGWAY. 1828. [12] In a description of the engagement, forwarded by the Austrian consul at Patras to the consul-general in the Ionian islands, which was captured by the Greeks, the following is the account given by the Austrians:--"Il commandante della flottiglia Ottomana con terzo del Vapore ando per aria, avendogli questo gettato una granata in Santa Barbara." Transcriber's Note: The original text included Greek characters. For this text version these letters have been replaced with transliterations set off by [Greek: ] tags. Misprints corrected: "Lairisse" corrected to "Lairesse" (page 429) "sb ject" corrected to "subject" (page 464) unnecessary leading "ac-" removed (page 466) "head" to "heard" (page 480) "ruler" corrected to "rule" (page 497) Additional spacing after some of the poetry and block quotes is intentional to indicate both the end of a quotation and the beginning of a new paragraph as is in the original text.
