According to the latest news from Syros, Akropolis had not been conquered by the Turks following the crashing defeat of the Greek troops the 16th of May (in Faliro). French and English commanders, De Rigny and Hamilton arrived in Piraeus and tried to negotiate an honorable capitulation for the Greeks but Reshid Pasha did not want to offer the slightest alternative to the Greeks.

Nothing certain yet was known for the big defeat of the Greeks. Although in the beginning the first battles were positive for them, some 8.000 or more Turkish troops arrived from Saloniki and the Greeks lost the battle. Several other news.
