Gazette De France 13th of September 1823 A shocking testimony from two travelers who passed through the Peloponnese: The Philhellene fighters who departed from Marseille last year to fight in the Morea have failed. Immediately after the expedition's arrival in Hydra, Cevallos sold all the ammunition and many other items to the government; following his lead, all the other Philhellenes did the same. Now, however, most of them have attempted to flee to Asia Minor, specifically to Smyrna, in order to return to their homelands. One of these Philhellenes was on a Greek vessel that was intercepted by the Admiral of the Egyptian fleet, Ismail Gibraltar. The Admiral ultimately assisted the Philhellene in returning to his country and escaping further hardships.
