NAVARIN.

(FROM A COURESPONDENT.)

Extract of a letter from the Mediterranean :

" You have, I doubt not, heard of the fulfilment of
the Treaty of Alexandria, by the complete evacua-
tion of the Morea by Ibrahim and all his forces ;
but will you, in England, who have perhaps wiser
heads or better means of information, solve a ques-
tion which puzzles us here. On what plea is it
that we are allowed to sell the anchors, cannon, and
cables, &c. taken up in the Bay of Navarin by our
ships, while they were superintending the embarka-
tion of Ibrahim's army ? The Asia got itp five long
brass guns, which are said to have been sold to
French merchants for three thousand dollars; and
several other ships of the squadron have done the
same. The money so obtained is professedly to
be laid out in beautifying the ships, but it would be
satisfactory to hear some justification of the seizure
and sale of those things, which, it is presumed, must
belong either to our ancient ally the Turks, or our
modern ally the Greeks.
" We also hear complaints of Russia acting offen-
sively, by the blockade of the Dardanelles as a bel-
ligerent, after having promised to suspend her rights
as such, in order to pursue, jointly with England
and France, that amicable arrangement described by
the Treaty of London. Now, it would be gratify-
ing to have explained, by those competent to the
task, upon what ground Russia is condemned for
not giving up (that belligerent character which is
assumed by France as a principal, in the expedition
to the Morea, and by England as an accessory to
that hostile proceeding described as an assault
against the fortresses of Navarin, Stc. ?
" The flag ship, the Asia, has been very sickly, five
men and her commander have died."

*,„4 We presume that the ship, of whatever nation,
considered themselves entitled to what they were enabled
to take up' from the deep for their own trouble iu so doing.
The anchors might be got at by the buoys, supposing them
to be afloat—but the brass guns—what clue was there to
their resting place ? The sailors, no doubt, considered all as
fish that came into their net.—ED.

FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE.
