THE VICTORY AT NAVARIN.

(From the Moniteur of Saturday.)

PAZIS, Nov. 10.—The affair of the East is terminated

The Journal des Debuts, of this morning, complains,
that foi along period the cry of victory had not been heard.
Its complaint was only madeto be drowned in the accla-
mations of the public.
On the 6th of July the three maritime powers resolved
to clear and pacify the Mediterranean. On the 20th of
October the reflection of the fire which destroyed the
Turco-Egyptian fleet, glared on the walls 4 Modon.
At a single blow the dreadful contest which has shucked
'nmity during the last four years has been finished !
by a single blow peace has been restored to the world !

All is done:and the doeilityof the Porte, and that of the

' 7
Creels,, will follow the te-establishinent of commerce—the
maintainance of the European equilibrium, and -ever, the
advancement of civilization in Egypt.
While that the Archipelago breathes from 'that dread of
sudden incursions, which kept it in a state of incessant agi.
tation, like the inhabitant of a place near a cavern, who
expects every moment to behold wild beasts springing on
Lim, the Morea has thrown on the liberated sea glances
full of terror. The road is closed against the auxiliaries
of its oppressors, and the yoke which overwhelmed it is re-
moved.

Can the Turco-Egyptian Army hope to maintain itself
on the scene of its ravages after the destruction of its fleet ?
Must it not be too happy to obtain _facilities for an evacua-
tion, which becomes henceforth its only resource ? Ooh
single event has dried up the two sources whence the Porte
drew its means ; the same sword has cut off the two breasts
of this war.

And', henceforth, the Greeks, emancipated, will cease
to disturb and to harrass the commerce of Europe ; piracy
will no longer have a pretext or excuse.
But let.it not be supposed that the fruits of victory will
.be the exclusive share of the conquerors ; they will benefit
even the vanquished. The ancient Ottoman Empire, the
Preservation of which is still necessary to the political equi-
librium of Europe, will profit by then Withdrawn, by
the conviction of its weakness, from dreams of tyranny and
vengeance,, it will better understand its true situation, and
the duties which arc imposed on it. .
The victory, will not prove less beneficial to that great
vassal of the Porte, whose genius has known bow to en-
graft on a branch, as yet wild, the shoots of civilization,
and who has precipitated himself with open eyes into the
abyss. Exonerated henceforward with respect to his para-
mount lord, he will come out oe this oppressive struggle,
in which his deSire For improvements, and his regard for
plighted faith, had pledged him. Behold him restored en-
tire, to the wants—to the happiness of the rich province
which owes to him its regeneration, and which will in.
dernuify hith for hie sacrifices with interest,

Sinister presentiments cannot mar for us this glory ;
minds fraught with mistrust and fear will apply themselves
in vain to poison our joy, The Porte knows well what
price it must pay, should.a single hair fall from the head of
en Ambassador. The Divan is not so deaf, but it can dis-
tinguish from afar the neighing pf the Russian horses nio
advance to battle; it is not sufficiently blind, not to discern
the Christian sails besieging the entrance to the Bosphorus.
Wanting the light of refinement, its possessors still retain
instinct, which is the knowledge of narrow minds.• It
knows what the blockade of the Dardanelles. would prepare
Cot it; capital. It knows, as well as we do, •to what des-
peration famine may urge a population already wounded in
its dearest habits. But let us put aside the image, but too
true, ,of the consequences of a crime which will not be
committed.

However, as it is grrdci policy to husband our resources
against dangers ever, the least probable, provided they be
possible, in every place where there are Franks established
in the ,Eabt there is a sufficient force to defend and to save
them. Qn whatever point in the Levant the storm may
burst, the Europeans, if threatened, will find succour; pro-
tection, and the means of retreat, should,sn imprudent ty-
ranny ever make them want it.

The ulterior consequences of the 24th of October, are
hi the hands of the victorious Powers; that is to say, in the
hands of the European Powers, for it is for all Europe
that they have conquered. Let every military armament
be interdicted in, the Greek isles, as well as to the inhabi-
tants of the coast of Barbary; let every contravention of
this formal probibitioti he regarded'as piracy, and aban-
doned as such to the justice of Europe. This will be, for
this is just and easy, and the universe will then understand
what material advantages grew out of a glory founded on
the inoatublime disinterestedness.

(From the Gazette de France, dated Sunday.)
Pains, Nov. Io.—Since the memorable battle of Le-
panto, Christian Europe; has not had to rejoice in a tri-
umph more glorious than that which has just been achieved
over the barbarians by the arms of the three first Powers
of the civilized world. The Etoile, which in chanting
its naixte to the Gazette de France has not changed its
Principles or its affections, congratulates itself on having
been enabled to raise the first cry of victory.,—lt is doubly
happy to-day in being able to give to its readers the corn,
plete details of the total defeat of the enemies to the Chris.:
tiara name. Our joy would be more unalloyed, if the blood
of our bothers had not bedewed their laurels ; but for
what interests more important, more legitimate, could they
fight? It is not here, the guilty voice of ambition and of
rival hatred, which has called them to the field of battle;
it is that of religion herself, and of humanity, too long
outraged by enemies incapable of listening to the councils
of reason and prudence. Ha:; not this cause, which was
always that of generous hearts, become snore sacred still
for us, since the blood of our brothers has been shed for its
advancement ?
