TURKS/II FLEET-PATIAS.

Sir G. COCKBURN took the present opportunity of acquaint-
is g the Noble Lord that he had redeemed his promise, and made
inquiries relative to the late operations of our Naval Commander on
the coasts of Greece. in covering the fortification of Patras. The
interference of our Naval Commander originated in his having been
made acquainted, that the Turkish squadron was bearing up from
Nararino, for Patna ; in consequence of which the Admiral cep.
proached the squadron of I'adrone Bey, and remonstrated against
his entering Patras, acquainting him that such a step would he in
violation of the faith pledged to the British Commander by Parironc
Itey. His reply was in the usually laconic strain of the Matrome.
don, "If you permit us to go on to Patras, well—if not, well ;
but we will not resist you, should you sink us." The squadron
continuing its course on towards Patras, a gun by our ship ass
discharged, which did not, nor was it intended it should, strike
any of the Turkish squadron. But it had the desired effect, and
they changed their course, and our Admiral retired to Zante. A
second attempt however, was subsequently made to make Patras,
and our Admiral again bore up to the Turkish squadron, which
was soon after seen communicating by signal with Ibrahim, the
commander of the Egyptian squadron. It was, therefore, thought
advisable to wait, so as to permit an opportunity to ascertain what
effect the alipalassada might hare in alining the apparent di:stir...l-
- of these vessels. and. as was partly anticipated, they POW/
after shaped another course, and took up a station in the road of
Navarino. In a few days, however, the Turkish !lAA was
nouneed to be again under weigh for Patras, ar.d.the English cvm-
mander again approached it, tiring a few guns, in order to coup
them to stew its colours. Thi. being complied with, and the
Turkish commander Padrone having required a written voucher
from our Admiral, that he had been compelled by hint to drsi.t
from his enterprise by force, as his head would otherwise answer
for his disobedience of orders, the Turkish squadron again tare
away for Navarino Bay. In none of the three instances had .it.y
resistance been offered to our Admiral by the Turks.
Lord ALTHORP had certainly heard, from very excellent wattle.
rity—an officer in the squadron there—that the affair had not burn
the discharge of one gun, but a discharge of several, and a partial
engagement, in which a loss of life had been the consequence.
Sir GEORGE COCKBURN assured the noble lord he had col-
lected his information from official sources which he had reason to
consider sufficiently authentic-
Lord JOHN RUSSELL alluded to the gallantry and conduct
which had distinguished the commanders of the united squadrons of
England, France, anti Russia, in the celebrated battle fought at
Navarino, and regretted that its history had been unattempted until
within these few days, when an account of it had appeared in the
" Foreign Quarterly."
Sir HENRY PARNELL moved for accounts of the ordinary
revenue of Great Britain and Ireland since the passing of the !Tido!'
with Ireland; together with the expense of the collection.—Orderetl.
The returns were, on the amendment of Mr. HUME, continued
up to the conclusion of last year.
