Which had entered. At two o'clock on the'Sth, a ge-

the victory at Navarin.
The Governor of the Island gave notice, that the

tion in the rear of this line, went and placed itself be-

gates. The Araside kept under sail, in order to carry.
succour wherever it might be wanted, or where there
were honourable risks to encounter. The Dartmouth,

which had been detached from the rear guard for the
purpose of giving notice to the Turkish fire ship• to,
lean the anchorage occupied by the allied squadrons,
can anchor near one of these vessels, and sent a boat to
it. A musket shot from one of them killed the Mid-

English pilot on board this boat was killed by a musket
that from the ship. At the same instant a Turkish
frigate fired two guns upon the Syrene. The latter
replied quickly, and in an instant the combat became
general. . .

sides, the Turks drove one of their firesbips, 211 in tames,
down upon the &ipion. This infernal machine, con-
dtimed by Men as skilful as they were bold, (Whom we
afterwards saved), succeeded in lying close against the
larboard bow ofthe veisehittringing insensibly under the
bowsprit, between the spritsail yard and the Windward
cathead's. We Made vain efforts to ;get this fireship
'clear of us, the jilss and forestay 'tails, the bowsprit and
'rift cordage of the forernast fell a prey to the Stasis,
which driven abaft by a fresh breeze front the south,
set the Sett gun on Ire through the baSne and, port
hdes. Several of the topmen threW themselres on the
fire to extinguish it; some cannoniers were burnt at
their pieces, and others Were grievously wounded by
the explosion of cartridges, which took fire in their hands.
Three times the fire caught several parts of the vessel,
still our brave gunners did not cease tofircon the Turk-
ish ships and the citadel, which endeavoured to sink us.
hl this critical situation the Captain ordered the chain
table, by which we were anchored to be slipped, and at
the risk of being brown up along with the fireship, he
ordered the foresail and.forempsail to be set, for the pur-
pose of putting dowh the •fi re, which was already' aining
on the fore magazine. The Master Gunner, who was
swam of the danger, came on deck to ask if he should
flood the powder, but the answer of our intrepid Cap-
tain
Milius was, " No," and be accompanied the 'an-
swer with asshout of Mire le Roi, which was repeated
by the whole of the crew with the liveliest enthusiasm.
In fact it was rio longer men but hunt that fought, and
the fire of our guns had not been better kept up during
any part of the action. Having at length succeeded
is extricating ourselvesfrom the fireship, and in sinking
her, the Scipiors succeeded in taking up a position in
which her guns could bear upon a number of the ene-
my's vessels. About five o'clock in the evening, we
again brought our broadside to bear against the batte-
ries of the fortress, whose fire we silenced in less than
five-and-chitty minutes. At half past five the Turkish'
fleet had ceased to exist; such of their vessels as our'
shot had spared were burned by the Turks themselves,l
and it was once a dreadful and magnificent spectacle to
see fire succeed fire, and explosion explosion, within the
narrow limits of the bay where tt e battle was fought.
Whilst the Scipion was thus distinguishing herself at
the mouth of, the bay, by her bold manoeuvring, the
Breslaw, Trident, ani Aimide, were performing pro-
digies pa other points. The Trident supported the Sy-
reurby a surtained and well directed fire against the'
two frigates that had attacked her on the bow mad on
the quarter. The Breslaw. (% hose Captain, M. D. la

That Divine precept of universal application, "Do
unto others as you world they should do unto you," is a
most appropriate motto for this adniirabihr treatise. The
Author has here brought down the most important ge-
neral truths to the level of the commonest understand-
ings. No previous acquaintance with books is required
—nothing more is required of the reader, than an crdi-
nary degree of attention to the facts or phenomena •
daily occurring in the world. To the minute develope-
ment and limitation of general truths, it was not neces-
sary
for the Author to descant; and he has certainly
evinced no inclinatiOn to anticipate and obviate theca-
e& of the prejudiced, at the expense of the patience of
the ingenious and impartial reader. . .
Mr. Edmonds has very judiciously arranged bia work
into Books and Chapters. Thus, under Book 1. On the
Principles which most affect the physical COndition of
Man, are discussed the following important subjects;
—On the Necessaries of Life—Food—Clothing—Lodg-
ing, &c. The Second Book treats. of the Political Re-
lation of Man—The Third on the Moral Faculties and
Affections—And the last division consists of a General
Summary. and an Application to Nations in general,
—but to England in particular. We can afford room
for one Extract, which we take from Chap. VI, p. 27,
the subject, Useful Labour.
