ESCAPE OF TI-I;,i EGYPTIAN FLEET FROiv
NA vA,INO.

r;,!ounts have reached us, this morning,
that the Egyptian ileet in Navarino,
having been reinforced by the junriiolt of
three Turkish, .frigates and soine corvettes,
on the Ist instatic,3 had made '.an attempt,

on the 2d to get out of 'i4avainc.., .and pro-
ceed to Patras. In this object they were defeated
by the remonstrances and threats of Via.- Alatiral
Sir EDWARD CODRING7OI4, who fired, some
shots at the ships under weigh, which had the
effect of making them again come to an anchor.
On the 4th, they made a second attempt,
and some of the ships actually rcuched
Patras, but the main body of the fleet,
consisting of the smaller vessels and tran-
sports, amongst which were several Austrian
vessels, were again frustrated in their object by
the British squadron, who kept up a smart fire
upon them till they sought the protection
of the Port, and hoisted colours. A tremen-
dous storm on the 6th obliged the British squ-
dron to seek shelter under Zante, and dispersed

the Egyptian fleet, part of which it was
supposed were still at Patras, while the re-
mainder would get back into Navarino. Sir
EDWARD CODRINGTON is said to have de-
clared that they should not enter any other port,
and that he would destroy them if they did.
Such is the substance of the private accounts
which have reached us, and we understand that
despatches containing intelligence of these events
to the l lth instant were this morning received at

the Admiralty from Sir EDWA RD CODRINGTON,
and were forwarded immediately to the LORD
HIGH ADMIRAL at Portsmouth, from whence
his Royal Highness will return on Monday—
his intention of proceeding to Plymouth being
abandoned.

An Express has arrived this morning from
Paris, with the Gazette de Fiance dated yester-
day, which contains the following paragraphs :---
CONgTANTINOPLE, SEPT. 25.
" The possession of Smyrna has been the object of a
Convention, by which it has been agreed, that it shall be
neutral for all nations."

ZANTE, SEPT. 30.

The armistice accepted by the Commission of the Greek
Government, was put into execution on the 24th of this
month, and the Commission published by proclamation.

The Paris Papers of Wednesday, and the
Gazette de France dated Thursday morning,
reached us last night. The Journal des Debats
contains intelligence from Constantinople to the
26th September, which completely establishes
the falsehood of the statements made and per-
severed in by some Journals, of the Porte
having submitted or shewn a disposition to sub-
mit on the 16th. It appears that the Reis
Effendi having retired, on account, as it is
said, of sore eyes, had been succeeded in his
functions by the Kiaja Bey, or Minister of the
Interior, who declared to the Dragomans of the
Ambassadors, in an audience on the 18th of
September, that the Porte insisted upon an un-
limited submission of the Rebels, and that it
would slim its accustomed moderation towards
the Allied Powers as long as they committed
no violence, but that it would return blow for
blow and shot for shot, if it were forced to it.
What effect this threat had with the Ambas-
sadors of the Anita Powers dues nvt qPear7
