This despatch was immediately communicated to Mr. Morris; by him to the Hellenic minister at Constantinople; and thence to the committee at Athens; thence to the insurgents, through whom it rapidly spread and confirmed their warlike resolutions. The Russian commander, like Pym, had been obliged to desist from any new attempt, and waited for our steamer to come. The Italian commanders were eager to avail themselves of their standing instructions to follow the ships of other nations in this work, and so a new phase of the struggle awaited the appearance of the Stars and Stripes. Meanwhile, Mustapha Pasha, skirmishing along the coast of Sphakia, bargaining and cajoling the chiefs of the formidable Sphakiotes, wasted his time and troops in fruitless encounters and under the inclement season. At length, unable to proceed by land, and compelled by his programme to pass through the canton, he embarked all his troops at Suia, and transported them to Franco Castelli, where there is a plain country between the mountains and the sea, and, after negotiations with the chiefs of the villages on the south slope, was permitted to go, without molestation, through the defile of Comitades into the plain of Askyfó, where he encamped to receive the submission of the Sphakiotes. What were the inducements which permitted him to pass by a ravine where one hundred resolute men could have destroyed his whole army, I do not know; but it is hardly conceivable, considering subsequent events, that it was owing to any general complicity of the mountaineers, but probably to the defection or bribing of that chief whose place it was to guard the shore end of the defile near which his village was. He had long been known to be a warm personal friend of the Pasha, and had on one occasion prevented a blockade-runner from landing her cargo on his territory.
