DESTRUCTION OF THE TURKISH AND

EGYPTIAN FLEET.

We have the proud gratification of this day

recording in our columns as bright an achieve-

meat as has ever graced the naval annals of our

country.

The whole of the Turkish and Egyp_

tian Navy has been captured or destroyed by the

Allied Squadrons under the command of our

gallant countryman, Vice-Admiral , Sir EDW.

CODRINGTON.

At an early hour this morning a Messenger
arrived at the Admiralty with despatches

from the Vice-Admiral, dated at Nara-

rind, on the 21st of October, containing

the details of this glorious event. They were

immediately forwarded by his Royal Highness

the LORD HIGH ADMIRAL to his MAJESTY

at Windsor, and will be published in an Ex-

traordinary Gazette this afternoon.

We understand that Sir EDWARD CODRING-

To,s, having learned that IBRAHINI PACIIA

had landed the troops composing the Ex-

pedition, in violation of tile

Armistice,

rbdlwas dealing destruction around amongst the
Greeks of the Morea, the Vice-Admiral, with

•-.0“;
'

the combined squadrons, (the French and Rus-
sian Admirals having placed themselves under
his orders,) stood in for Navarino, and found
the Turkish and Egyptian ,Fleet lying there,

being' moored in a crescent, and apparently ready
for action. Having passed the batteries, Sir

EDWARD CODRINGTON dispatched the Dart-

mouth a-head, for the purpose of sending a
communication to IBRAHIM, or the Turkish

Admiral, warning him of the Iconsequences of
his proceedings by bringing down upon him the
vengeance of the Allied Squadrons. The

Dartmouth's boat, carrying this communication,

was fired upon, and we regret to add, that Lieut.
FITZROY, and the whole boat's crew, were killed.

This was the signal for attack. The British
Admiral proudly led-in in the Asia, and placing
her between the Turkish and Egyptian Admi-
rals, opened a tremendous fire upon the

former. The Egyptian Admiral having sent

a Message, declaring that he would not fire

a gun, blr. MITCHELL, Sir EDWARD CO-

DRINGTON'S Interpreter, was sent on board, but

he was basely shot, and the Admiral imme-

diately fired on the Egyptian Admiral. The
action became general on both sides, and con-,

tinned with great fury for four hours, when it
terminated by the complete destruction of the
whole Turkish and Egyptian fleet, consisting of

4 sail of the line, 15 frigates, 15 corvettes, 9

brigs, 3 fire-ships, and numerous transports, &c.

The ships, which had escaped the fury of the
attack, were run on shore by the Turks them-

selves, and destroyed.

This glorious atchievement has not been per-

formed without a tremendous loss of human

life. The Turkish Admiral's ship, had 650
men killed, and the loss of the others in pro-

portion. Our own loss too, we regret to

add, has been most severe, 'and amongst
the slain we deeply lament to record the
names of Captain WALTER BATHURST, Of

his Majesty's ship Genoa; Lieut. FITZROY,
before mentioned ; Mr. SMITH, the Master of

the Nsia, and many other gallant Officers and
• A,
ken; making a total loss in the British Squa-
dron of 20 Officers, 21 Petty Officers, and, 213
men killed and wounded. We understand that

. _
Sir EDWARD CODRINGTON speaks in, the

►ighest terms of the 'conduct of all the

ships under his orders. Captain BATH UR ST,
in the Genoa, arid Captain OMMANNEY, in the
Albion, took their ships into action in the
highest style. -Captain the Hon. FREDERICK
SPENCER of the Talbot, and Captain DAVIES

of the Rose, are also mentioned in the

handsomest terms, and we are happy to add, that

the French and Russian squadrons also did their
duty admirably. Admiral de RIGNY had sixty
men killed and wounded on board his ship.

Our squadron has suffered severely in masts
and yards. The Asia hacther mizen-mast shot

away, and her main-mast severely wounded.
These are the principal particulars of this
glorious event, which has adorned the British
Navy with such additional lustre. Its result

proudly proves that the vigour, the undaunted
bravery, and the skill of otir • Officers and men,

have not been lessened by the long period of
peace ivhich the country has enjoyed, and that
they are the same as they ever have been, the

most heroic of her sons.

The despatches were brought to Marseilles by

LOrd Viscount INGESTR LE, in the Gannet, where

his Lordship was detained by the quarantine
regulations ; but the authorities permitted the

despatches to he forwarded by a courier. They
will be published this evening in an Extra-
ordinary Gazette, which we shall endeavour to

give in a Second Edition.

Capt. BATHURST, who has nobly fallen in his
country's service on board the Genoa, was a most
respectable, zealous, and gallant officer. He
was promoted to the rank of Post-Captain, on
24th Oct., 1799. He was actively
employed
during the whole of the war, and commanded the
Fame of '74 guns, till the termination of it. For
the last three years he has commanded the
Genoa of 74 guns, the ship in which he
has been slain, having, though in bad health, de-
clined to leave her, on her being ordered to the
Mediterranean.

We received last night the Constitutionnei
of Wednesday, and the Gazette de France
dated Thursday morning. The latter copies
from the Angsburgh Gazette intelligence from
Costantinople to the 14th inst., which, if it can
be relied upon, is of high. imp9rtance, aid puts

.

an end to every hope of the PORTE being in-
duced to acquiesce in the proposals submitted
to it. It is stated in the article to which we
allude, dated Constantinople, Oct. 14, that it
was then positively known that the SULTAN had
not recognised the armistice concluded by IBRA-
HIM, and that orders had been sent to him to
continue his operations' against the Greeks. It
adds, that this• resolution had spread consterna-
tion among the Franks, and that the alarms
which had been calmed for the three preceding
weeks began to appear again.
A preceding article in the Augsburgh Gazette,
dated on the 13th from Constantinople, had
stated that every thing indicated that the PORTE
was extremely uneasy, and would not carry into
execution its threats of rupture with the Powers'
and as the general tone of that paper has been
pacific, we fear, from the decided manner in
which the article of the 14th states the deter-
mination of the SULTAN, that it derives this in-
telligence from an authentic source. If so., this
day can *scarcely pass without our Government
receiving a communication from Mr. STRAT-
FORD CANNING, and we look with consi-
derable anxiety for its arrival, and for the
next despatches from Sir EDWARD Co-
DRINGTON, which will, we apprehend, at once
decide the question, whether IBRAHIM will at-
tempt to carry on his operations against the
Greeks in opposition to the will of the Allied
Powers.

The extinction of the Censorship of the
Parisian Press has enabled the Papers to resume
political discussion : and, if we may form an
opinion from the first day of freedom which the
Papers have enjoyed, party feeling runs higher
in France than before the establishment of the re-
gulation by which it was intended to be suppressed.
The Constitutionnel, in a strongly written article,
exposes the measures of the Ministry, and at-
tributes the dissolution of the Chambers to
their not having been sufficiently subservient to
the wishes of the Ministers in suffocating the
Press.

The Gazette de France feebly defends the
Government, and reverts to its former mode of
classing the reports of the other Papers, under
Lies of the Day. In this mode it denies the
r9orted retirement of three of the Ministers,
and that the, Embassy to Naples has been offered
to M. DE CHATEAUBRIAND.

Extracts of these papers are given in another
column, and we subjoin the price of the Funds
on Wednesday.

By the Diario Fiuminense, we learn that the
Emperor PEDRO had prolonged the Session of
the General Legislative Assembly of Brazil.—
The Diario makes no mention of the war,
but Private Letters to they 21st Sept. say that
war still continued without any prospect of ter-
minating in peace. General .LE Cox had pre-
viously sailed with some troops to take the
command of the army on the Rio Grande. The
exchange.; was 32 per milrea ; sugar maintained
still high prices, 3 milreas 600 reas. Every
thing in a commercial point of view was
dull and heavy. The Buenos', Ayres packet
arrived the evening before the Nocton
and there was a report current, that the
Upper Provinces of the River
,Plate had
refused to join Buenos Ayres, and make com-.
mon cause with them against Brazil :--

MO DE JANEIRO, AVG. 28.

In the sitting of the Chambers on the 22d August, a
decree of his Majesty was read, by which the Session of
the General Legislative Assembly is prolonged to the 15th
of October. This decree was received with great satis-
faction in the Chamber of •Deputies, and it was resolved to
appoint a Deputation to thank his Majesty.
The official part of the Diario contains a Carta de Lei,
by which the Civil List of the Members of the Imperial
Family is fixed, according to Article 108 of the Consti-
tution :

1. That of the Emperor at 1,000 contos of reis, for
all the expences of the Imperial household, repairs of pa-
laces, the service and splendour of the throne, excepting
only the expenses of, the Imperial Chapel, the Public
Library, and the acquisition or building of palaces which
the nation may think sditable for the accommodation of
the Emperor and his family.
2. That of the Empress at 100 contos of reis per annum.
3. That of the Imperial Prince, while a minor at 12
contos, and after he has completed his 18th year, at 24
contos.

4. That of the Prince of Grande, 6 coutos, until a minor,
and 12 when of age.

5. That of each of the Princes and Princesses of the
Imperial Family, 4 contos, 800,000 rein, while under age,
and at 9 contos, 600,000 when of age.
Ana. 29.—The Deputation of the two Chambers have
waited on his Majesty to return him thanks for having
prolonged the Session, and were mast graciously received.

SEPT. 4.—A letter from Monte Video of the 16th July,
states the arrival of a convoy with the exception of three
vessels, which were taken and conducted to the Arroio de
Rozorio. A force was sent to retake them, which succeeded.
SEPT. 11.--The anniversary of the declaration of the
independence of Brazil, on the '7th of September, was cele-
brated.as a public day of rejoicing.
