The Ottoman fleet is ready to sail into the Archipelago following the refitting of its vessels. The Grand Vizier will be aboard the flagship. It is certain, in any case, that the fleet will first head to Chios. There, it will await the Egyptian fleet, and once they unite, they will proceed to the Morea. Dervish Pasha, who has received orders to invade the Peloponnese, is currently in Lamia. The Turks believe that with this expedition, they will finally suppress the revolution.
