An Espress from Paris has just arrived, bringing a Second Edition of the Gazette de France, dated yes terday, containing the important intelligence that the English and French squadrons had attacked the Egyp tian fleet at Navarin, and had destroyed the whole of them on the 20th October. A Private Letter, by the same conveyance, states that the British Admiral sent a flag of truce into Na varin, which was flied upon by the Egyptians, in con sequence of which the attack took place. The letter adds that the Russian squadron was in the engagement. It was reported on the Exchange at Paris that the Russians had crossed the Pruth. French Three per Cents. 71f. 20c. On receipt of the above news in the City, Consols fell from b7i to 84 On inquiring at the Government Offices the above information is confirmed. The accounts received at the Admiralty state that the whole of the Turkish fleet is annihilated: ours has suffered much. Captain BATHURST, of the Albion, is killed. Total killed, 70 ; wounded, 251. In tLe Turkish Admiral's ship alone 650 were killed and wounded. An Estraordinau Gazette is in the Press with all-the details. The dispatches with the above intelligence were brought to the Colonial Office this morning by Mr• Corm, an Italian Messenger, in seven and a half days from Ancona; where they arrived in an English frigate. M. Cortst was also charged with dispatches to the Frecch Government. The battle began on the morning of the 20th ult. In consequence of the murders and cruel attrocities which the Turks were committing on the Greeks, Admiral CODRINGTON, with a • . ew terput an end to 42e carnage, sent in a flag of truce, as has already been stated. The Dartmouth's boat carrying this corn- Fiunication was fired upon, and we regret to add that /..ieutenant FITZ,ROY, and the whole of the boat's crew were killed : in consequence of which be poured a broadside intu Inamina's ship, and sent her to the bottom. A general engagement commenced, and the result was the annihilation of the Turkish fleet FURTHER PARTICULA R. battle was fought at anchor, and was, sarily, bloody and destructive. The numerical supe- riority of the Ottoman force was immense, but the re suit has been, as already stated, the ENTIRE DESTRUC. • irmo cog T4s WHOLE TURKISH FORCE. A private letter contains the following statement of thecoudicting forces, and of the result : ENGLISH FORCE—Three sail of the line, four frigates, sine corvette, three brig.. FRENCH FORCL—Three sail of the line, two frigates, two schooners. Rs/sinew Fouce.—Four sail of the line, four frigates. Total of the Allies—. Twent y-ix sail. TURKISH FORCE.—Three sail of the line, four double , frigates, nineteen frigates, twentyfour corvettes, four teen brigs, six fire ships. Total-70 sail. There were, besides, about forty transports and other vessels formed behind the Turkish fleet. The 'result is: one Turkish line-of-battle ship burned ; two driven on shore, wrecks—one double frigate 'sunk ; one on shore a wreck ; two burned—fifteen frigates burnt and sunk ; three on shore wrecks ; one masts standing—ls corvettes burned and sunk ; four os shore. wrecks—nine brigs burnt and sunk; one oft shore, masts standing—six fire ships destroyed, and three transports. We regret to say, that the loss of the Allies has been considerable, though nothing like what might have been expected from the numerical superiority of the enemy, and the obstinacy of the conflict. By a Brazil Mail which arrived this morning, and kft Rio Janeiro on the 22d September, we have received the Diario Fluminense to the 21st of that months the Papers contain no mention of the war, or of the affairs of Buenos Ayres.

The following extract of a letter from Rio Janeiro is posted at the North and South American Coffee House; it is dated the 21st of September. " By the Dove packet, st hich came in yesterday from the River Plate, we learn that another change has taken place in the Government. The Congress having been dissolved, and Dorrego named the President of the Province at Buenos Apes, so that there is no longer any head of the Republic; or rather, there is no longer any Repulic. The provinces will not allow any superiority to the Government of Buenos Ayres over ihemselves, notwithstanding the visit paid to them by Borrego, with the view of obtaining their assistance and co-operation for the vigorous prosecution of the war against Brazil. They seem inclined to come forward neither with money nor men; on the other hand Gm. Le Cor has sailed from tkis, to take upon himself the management of the war in the Banda Oriental, and this circumstance, joined to the want of unanimity on the part of the Spanish provinces, renders it more than probable that a peace will ere lung be finally concluded, at all events, we think it will not be delayed beyond the end of the year. " It was expected that Garcia, the author of the un fortunate Treaty of Peace, that met with so ill a recep tion, would become a member of Government, which looks well : besides which, some conferences of a pacific nature had actually taken place between Lord Ponsonby and Dorrego, at which he is said to have assisted. 44 The Huski,son has been taken into some small port in the Rio Negro, on the coast of Patagonia, where ] a tribunal of course waits for her trial or condemna li - tion ; but the captors were plundering her cargo without ceremony. The Forte frigate, it was re sorted, had been ordered to go and demand her, and in case of refusal to capture her. Two of the fort boats had captured a privateer that had seized on the Ann, from Liverpool, and were in the act of plundering her cargo. The privateer's men, or rather pirates, the Captain of whom claimed the privilege of being treated as a prisoner of war, bearing a Lieutenant's commission in the Buenos Ayres navy, have all been put into irons by the Commander of the Forte frigate, and it is to be hoped that this seasonable chastisement may put an endko such piratical practices."

LORD MAYOR'S DAY. Yesterday being the day appointed by ancient usage for the sweoriug in of the LORD MAYOR, the streets of the Metropolis were hoed with crowds all anxious totem' t h e i r eyes with the always popular and never to b e forgotten civic procession. The day Was inauspicious, but the ardour of the assembled crowds was not dis. heartened. The escort was formed by a detachment a , toe Lancers, and the bands of the Royal Horse and Life Guards attended, and upon this occasion the civic • procession was really splendid, and recalled the tern!. lecithin of the chivalry and grandeur of formic dam__ The late Lord Mayor, the Aldermen and Sherifs, and the Livery of the Companies assembled early at Guild. ball, and the Right Hon. Mathias P: Lucas, th e p rate Lord Mayor, arrived at eleven o'clock. The arra nge . menu and route of the procession were altogether cif. (neat from former years. Instead of marching through Cheapside, Blackfriars, , ke. the route was from Guild. ball, along the Poultry, Cornhill, Leadenh a ll. stimt, Billiter-lanc, Mincing-lane, T o we r - s t reet , to the Tower Stairs, where the embarkation in the different state barges took place. This was owing, it is said, to the wish of the Lord Mayor, his Lordship being Ma c , plan of Tower Ward. Shortly after twelve (Aloft the Procession moved froin Guildhall in the coder fully described in our Paper of Thursday. The [dud Mayor, Sheriffs, Aldermen, /cc. having embodied 'Alt the Tower Stairs, in the state barges (the whole of which were very richly decorated, displaying numerous lags, and having bands of music on board). the aquitic ; procession majestically proceeded upon the bosom of Old Father Thames to Westminster Bridge, presenting al Most gay and interesting appearance throughout... tile Lord Mayor, Sheriffs, Aldermen, etc. having landed, proceeded to Westminster Hall, when his Do ship was presented by the Recorder to the Banos of the Exchequer, with a suitable speech and enlogionf upon his character ; after which his Lordshje was sworn in the usual form. His Lordship then visited all the other Courts in Westminster Hall, for the pnrpose of giving a formal invitation to the several Judgq to par take of the grand dinner at Guildhall. The aquatic procession returned from Westminster to Illackftiart Bridge, where the, whole party landed, and Telateted their several carriages. The Grand Procession then proceeded from Bridge.stteet. On its arrival at Lud. gerthill, it was kissed by some Members of the Royal Family, several of the Nobility, Ministers, Ambassador!, Judges, Members of Parliament, and other persons of distinction ; and with this addition the Procession moved slowly along Sr. Paul's Church-yard and Cheapside to Guildhall, where a splendid civic Banquet was prepared by the Lord Mayor. As the procession proceeded, the new and old Lord Mayors, dec. were warmly greeted, not only by the populace, but by immense numben of Ladies and Gentlemen, who crowded the windows of the whole of the houses along the streets through which the grand and imposing pageant proceeded. THE DINNER. A more sumptuous and well-arranged Banquet has not been given for nippy years than was presented at the Guildhall on this occasion. It exhibited a costly and abundant display, both in decoration and io pro visions, and ieserves, to stand among the red letter days of civic hospitality. The gasuonomic fame r f the Cor. poration of London has regained its fair name, and as in the days of Curtis and of Birch, it may at peen; defy rivalry. The noble Hall wai admirably fitted qr. The upper end was hung with crimson drapery, the uniformity of which was relieved by mirrors of the largest size, which were place 4 in such a position as to completely reflect the long tables in the body of the Hall. ImmediAtely behind the Chair, and on each aide. well shaped niches were formed, sur- mounted by appropriate Gothic canopies, for the re kception of the men in armour. The drapery eti -tended on either side as far as the hustings, and it would perhaps have been an improvement if it had been continued completely round the hall. The window at the tapper end was illuminated with variegated lamps, and a handsome crown and anchor in the centre will the letters G. R. The large painted window at the lower end was well lighted from the outside, and had a very good eff...ct. The body of the hall was, as usual, lighted with gas, and the festoons along the sides looted bi illiant and well designed. There were seats at the tables on the how ings for from three to (our hundred person'. and their appearance was remarkably handsome. The vases and other or naments were splendid both in tastes" execution, and the palate was as amply provided for as was the eye. As much space only was left uncovered as was absolutely necessary for the convenience of the company. Almost the same may be said nab respect to the tables in the body of the hall. They wretwelre in number, and exhibited a noble store of tl,e riche;t provender. The ornanaents were less numerous this on the hustings,but the luxuries of the four quarters tif the globe were not less plentiful. The body of the hall hart moreover au incalculable advantage over the more exalted end, for these the flags were unfurled over noble barons of beef, which did not send forth their ite ticements in vain. The tables not on the hustings 0". peered to be laid for between five and vie bond' ed. The Court of King's Bench and some other rooms eve also decorated and provided on the sane scale of splrn , :eirr so that in all probability a banquet was served for wards of a thousand persons. Two military bands, besides the trumpeters, were in attendance , and from an early hour amused the Company by performing a of pleasing and appropriate airs. That there w ere lout ries in abundance will be readily allowed, when we gm that there were not less than 200 tureens of tur tle, 1* dishes of fowls and capons, 50 turkies, 50 p heasants, with leverets and other things in proportion , t o g ether variety with a most ample supply of good Champagne, H Claret, and the more common wines.—The whole of the passages were fi:ted up in excellent taste. Those leading to the Council Chamber,which was as usual conveited int' a drawing room, were handsomely decorated with crim- son cloth, and lighted by chandeliers and candelabras. The various apartments were all in requisition, and tlte . accommodation they were calculated to afford weei"" ciously and ingeniously contrived.—lmmediately OW, three o'clock the company commenced arriving; Inc in a short time the hall, drawing room, and eaii°,.'" avenues, presented an animated appearance. On ttli Lord and Lady Mayoress entering, between four ape five o'clock, they were welcomed with general e nI A " I6 The Lady Mayoress took her seat in the drawing: loo .' l k , and a great number of the company tomary, presented to her.
