NAVAR IN.

'From P. M. Coronelli's " Historical and Geographical
Account of the More; 1687.")

'Zurichio orNavarin (p.-52).—Zunchio, ivhich,Ptolemy
calls Pylos, and Stephen of Byzantium, CoryphasiUm and
NaVarin, 10 miles distant from Coron, is built on a rising
ground, at the f.mt whereof is its port, wherein 2,000 ves-
sels may ride at anchor : on the right hand of the same
stands the New Naearin ; the ancient one is a.fortress,
which, lying so much in the eyes of the enemies, has been
no small.temptation to. them, and upon that account has
more than once changed its master. On the 2lst of June,
1215, Selistar Bassa,. was , taken in this port with a great
number of ships, which he commanded for the siege of
Candia.;

The port of Navarin, in European Turkey, on the
S.W. coast of the Morea, north of Motion, now and hence-
forth rendered celebrated by the recent sanguinary conflict
between the combined fleets of Turkey and Egypt and those
of England,' France, and Russia, in which the.former were
totally annihilated, is the largest tin the Morea, and is said
to be capable of containing 2,000 sail. It is formed by a
bay of considerable extent, the entrance of which is secured
by the island of 'Sphaeteria or Sfagia, and the north and
north-west Sides protected by a
,r;-nge of high hills., . The
passage leading to the by is small, and lies between tb,
island and the conthient:— The harbour thus fiwmed is
both secure and commodious. . The town of Navarin,
situated on the bay, is well‘buih, but the streets are narrow
and dirty as well as steep and uneven, from the nature of
the groupid ; its population is about 3,000, the most of
whom arc Turks. It is a place of considerable trade,
owing to the excellence of the port. The fortifications
consist of four bastions sad a citadel. The only ruins of
interest are a large aqueduct, a fountain, and some marble
pillars, which support the facades of the grand mosque.
Old Navarin lies at the north end of the bay, and is sup-
posed to occupy the site of the ancient Pylos7 The adja-
cent country,, called the Plain of Navarin, is fertile and
well-cultivated; 72 miles S.W. of Argos; and SS S.W.
of Corinth ; long. 21. 25. E. lat. 37. 5: N. Navarin
-was the theatre of another tragedy in the late war, to
which none but Wars bet Ween the slaves and their task-
masters ever give rise. Well fortified, and possessing one •
of the finest harbours 'in Europe, this city is built in the
iMmediate vicinity of the ancient Pylos. In the month of
August, 1821, . Navarin was ably defended by the Turks
against the'siege of the Greeks, who made several vigorous
sorties; but, at last, every kind of sustenance being ex-
hausted, after devouring even their slippers, they were
forced to capitulate. Ypsilanti bad sent one of the beet
and most distinguished of his friends, TipaldO, the Cepha-
lonian, to conduct the siege. Tipaldo was a man of virtue
and abilities, who, after practising as a physician in Bess-
arabia with great Success, abandoned the profession to take
his part in. the national war, and it was his presence that
chiefly induced the Turks to treat about a surrender ; for
such was their obstinate resolution, that they bad placed

tion of blowing up the. town, when a longer resistance

EXTRACT OF A LETTER • FROM AN ENGLISH OFFICER

SERVING WITII „GENERAL' ckitnecil!

Camp, near Corinth, Sept 21.

" You complain of not hearing front us more fre-
quently. I assure you it is no easy matter to find time,
for we are incessantly occupied, and in the most laborious
duties. My last was from Napoli di Romania, where the
General-in-Chief proceeded, for the purpose of settling the
long-pending disputes between Grivas and Fotomare, two
barbarous leaders into whose hands the fortresses of that in-
teresting point had unhappily fallen during the civil dissen-
sions. What with the obstinacy of these individuals-and
that foreign, intrigue which is still busily at work in Greece,
there was no small difficulty iu reducing them to reason.—
Order being restored, and the command transferred to a new
Governor, we returned here, and have been constantly oc-
cupied in preparing an expedition which will shortly cross
the Gulf of Lepanto and land-at. Salooa. For this pur-
pose several .gun-boats have been dragged acrosathe Isthmus
from :the side of Kenchrees. . • ,
-.". You have no' doubt beard, of the elder Colocotronil
success, in the neighbourhood of Calavrita, where several
hundred Arabs have been destroyed and made prisoners.—
His corps is 8,000 strong, and has noiv taken up a position
near Vostizza, to which place the General-in-Chief intends
marching in a few days. All idea of Kiutahi's approach-
ing the Peloponnesus is now at an end, for we have just
heard that lie has broken up his camp at Thebes, and is
proceeding to Zeitouni.
" 'Although our situation, So -far as regards provisions
and clothing, has not improved, the best possible spirit
O pervades the troops. I can only say, that nothing but the
o
privations of every kind to which we are exposed would
o have prevented our doing, wonders ere this. The weather
o has. been very severe for some days, and to mend matters
0
O we have no tents. ' The jackalls sing round us all night to
O our great diversion, but the wolves are not quite so amus-
ing, having devoured one of our artillery mules last night.
The rain drives. me from one side of my bivouac, where I
seek in vain for a dry ,corner. This must plead my excuse
for not writing a longer letter."

Sir EDWARD COPRANGTON commanded the
Orion in the battle of Trafalgar; on the morning of that
memorable day, the Defence, '74, commanded by Sir
George (then Captain) Hope, had been one of the look-out
squadron, and was passing the Orion to take her station
in the line of battle ; the Captains exchanged the usual
compliments ; when Captain Ilora, pointing to the enemy's
fleet, observed, " they should be with them about dinner
time." " Yes," returned Captain CODRINGTON, " and I
have some tough mutton ready for them."—a joke which
the crews of both ships understood perfectly well, and
rendered perfectly intelligible to their antagonists. Car

S.W. for twelve days, and a severe hurricane on the 21st,
arrived at Lisbon on the 2,1 of November. The Swift
steam-vessel,
ieltlsoUste7illing, after experiencing strong gales from the
steamer, from Falmouth to Malta, has also put in here,
after being out 14 days. The Spanish cruisers on the
coast, have just captured a large Gibraltar smuggling brig,
of 14 guns, with 50,000 dollars on board, and carried her
into Ferrol. It is reported that two other smugglers from
Gibraltar, are captured near this coast.
Captain Lywis DAviEs, of the Rose corvette,
who is so honourably mentioned by Admiral DE RIGNY for
his important services in engaging and silencing two Turkish
corvettes in the late action at Navarin, and thereby reliev-
ing the French frigate Ambit& from the dangerous situation
in which she was placed, by being exposed to the fire at
once of -no less than five of the enemy's ships, is a brother
of Lieut.-Colonel DAVIES, of the East India Company's
service, whose melancholy death we had occasion toy record
a few weeks back. It will be remembered that Lieutenant-
Colonel DAVIES' (known throughout all India by the appel-
lation of Tiger DAvrEs, from his frequent daring encounters
with that animal,) was assassinated in May last at Momi-
nabad by a party of the NiZATI'S 3d Regiment of Native•
Horse, while endeavouring to quell by remonstrance a spirit
of insuborciination which they had manifested. His death,
however, was avenged on -the spot by the Ist and the re-
mainder of the 3d Regiment •of Native Horse, who instantly
charged the mutineers and cut them to pieces. Lieutenant-
Colonel DAVIES was -much beloved by the native troops,
and that circumstance, combined with the fearless intre-
pidity of his .charcter, induced him to trust himself, unat-
tended, amongst the misguided men at their moment of
greatest excitation--a confidence which was attended by so
unfortunate a result.

It is understood that the late RICHD. HURD,
Esq. whose death at Worcester Episcopal Palace was lately
recorded, has bequeathed his very valuable- collection of
paintings; choice library of books, some • few articles of
plate,. and the whole of the furniture, to the See, to be en-
joyed by the present and future Bishops of the piocesf, in
perpetuity. Mr. Liutin, after providing handsomely for
his relatives, has also left 500/. to each of his servants,
and made liberal becitiets to .virious put tic charities.—
