No 264. Vendredi, 21 Septembre 1827. Extensive description of the events in Nafplio in July 1827. The dispute which arose between the miscreants of Grivas and the rumeliotes of the new line, assumed a more serious character than ever. On July 10, patrols from both sides met in the streets, which happened almost simultaneously in several neighborhoods. Soon the streets were filled with corpses, while the houses belonging to the opposing side were also shot. The two forts soon joined the fray. Terror and fear dominates the inhabitants. The Government tried in vain to appease the fury of the parties by its intervention, and when at last it saw the fire redoubled instead of abated, it took refuge in Burji. The English ship

On July 10, patrols from both sides met in the streets, which happened almost simultaneously in several neighborhoods. Soon the streets were filled with corpses, while the houses belonging to the opposing side were also shot. The two forts soon joined the fray. Terror and fear dominates the inhabitants. The Government tried in vain to appease the fury of the parties by its intervention, and when at last it saw the fire redoubled instead of abated, it took refuge in Burji. The English admiral Codrington (who was then at anchor in the port of Nafplion), also did his best to reconcile the parties. The riots continued like this with almost no interruption until Saturday, July 14. Things seemed to calm down, when Grivas broke all his promises. The object of the chiefs of the adversaries seemed to be the capture of the best fortified parts of the Peloponnese, in order to keep the Moraites, or the ruling aristocrats or oligarchs, always at war with the military chiefs... ...We believe, without a doubt, that Colettis was no stranger to all this. A certain Christodoulos Hadzi Petrou, one of the main leaders of the rebellion and a very devoted friend of Kolettis, maintains great influence among the Roumeliotes. Kolettis went to Nafplio after the great national assembly where he had been sent as a proxy. ...As soon as Kolokotronis realized that the rulers or the leaders of the democratic party wanted to use him only as an instrument, he reunited with his brother, convinced that he could not act in isolation... General Church formed a camp on Mount Keratinus, with a view to being able to assist Corinth in case the enemy wished to make any movement against that place. We shall soon hear some important news from Thessaly, where General Church will meet with the captains of the Olympus, who have already taken Thermopylae. 2nd, p. 4. In French.
