Diario Da Regencia, Lisbon, 5th of June 1821 The revolution in the Peloponnese has broken out earlier than anticipated. The Maniots have descended from their mountain strongholds, regions that remain inaccessible to the Turks. One division is currently besieging Mistras, near ancient Sparta, while another is marching toward Tripolitsa. Some of the bishops, priests, and married clergy of the Morea, following the example of those in Moldavia, are promising the Turks protection provided they remain peaceful.
