A letter from Chios describes the situation in the Archipelago. Algerians captured two large Spanish vessels and disembarked their crews at Rhodes. Subsequently, they followed the Egyptians and returned to the fleet. Calm prevails in Chios. Lord Strangford, in a letter to his cousin in Chios, announces that an agreement has been reached with the Ottomans, allowing English merchant ships to unload their goods in Constantinople. The report also highlights the massive cost incurred for the suppression of the revolution in Roumeli.
