A telegraphic dispatch from Toulon announces than
m ;be 14th the Provence was in sight, and doubtle:s
meted the hasbour on that day. It brings the reports
of Admiral de Rigny on the details of the brilliant affair
at Navarin, in which the French squadron bore so glo-
rious* part, the Admiral's first letter having given only
the priwcipal results. •
:Au THE MONITIWIt OF FATtlittiAlr, NOV. 17.
TRIESTE, Nov. s.
By destroying the Turkish and Egyptian fleet, the
Allied Squadrons of the three Powers have made a
great step towards the pacification of Greece, and this
event will excite a lively sensation in Europe.• The
Divan must now' perceive that it can no longer reckon
on tee divisions of the Allies, and• that the only means
it has to preserve, the hope of continuing to vegetate in
Europe, if it will not have recourse to heroic measures,
is to ratify the couvention of the 6th of July. The
motives which may have induced France and England
to act with so much precipitation, require to be cleared
op. Explanations respecting this event are impatiently
expected. All eh es are now turned towards Constanti-
nople, to learn the effects of a dreadful combat which
deprives the Ottoman E•npire, the Mussulman•, and
their Sultan, of a most.powerful meths of defence. It
is to be presumed that a division of the combined
squadron will appear before the Dardanelles. It is
unfortunate that the Pacha of Egypt did not profit by
the advice given him by the English agents, not to
risk his fleet. After spending, within these five years,
some hundred millions of piastres on distant expeditions,
Lis eyes must now be opened, especially when he finds
tint he does not enjoy the independence which had been
promised him, but which superior political considera-
tini.s hinder from being given to him.

PARIS, N0v.16. •
The circumstances of that remarkable day (the bat-
Ile of Navarin) are trot exactly known—the report of
the Russian Admiral is not yet published. The Eng-
lilt Go►ernment inserted in the Uozette the dispatch of
Admiral CODRINGTGN. The account printed in the
Moniteur, by order of the Erench Government, is not
signed by Admiral limey, and there is so much the
tame reason for believing that it has undergone some
rnotlifieation, that the immortal battle of Navarin is
there represented as accidental. To say that such ai-
rangetz.ents were not at all hostile, that they could be,
carted into effect without effusion of blood, requires
all the assurance of a diplomatist; military bravery
11171 s at no such credit. Admiral CODRINGTON avows,
Kith a sailor's frankness, that the measures which led to
battle were absolutely necessary to obtain the
ilts contemplated by the treaty; and that he felt a
)1e desire to ponill the Ottoman faithlessness. But
distinction between the French and English
reports lies less in tie differences which we
re just noticed, than in the circumstances which
crompanied their publication. At London the
dispatches of Admiral Codrington were inserted in the
fraordixarg Gazette of Nov. 10, and the next day
: one the Papers announced, that his Britannic NI i•
ty, with a promptitude which demonstrated hi, just
)rec:ation of the bravery and ability of his officers,
nominated Sir Edward Codringtoo a Grand Cross
the Order of the Bath, and all the Captains and
•uarmauders Companions of the same Order; and that

every officer who had taken any share in theiction
should he promoted. Since the 10 hof November, the
share which our sailors have had in the destruction of
the Turco-Egyptian fleet, although well knowr, has
been decreed no tecompence: and it is from the hands
of strangers that they. receive the first marks of their
glory ! We know not if M. de Riguy will be ritade
Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour, but we have at
least the assurance that he is Grand Cross of the Order
of the Bath. M. de Villele knows how to create half a
dozen of Pe.qs,but he knows nothing of the composi-
tion of a Vice-Admiral. He knows how to compen
sate sete:ces rendered to him personally; his ideas are
not so well defined, or his feelings are less acute, on
the sot ject of services rendered to the stave and to
Christendom. Glory is less familiar. than finarce to
him; it embarrasses and-teases him. He knows cot
what to make of it, andis fain to send it to the East,
and to make his excuses, on account of is, to his friend
the P. cha of Egypt.

Words fail us to express the indignation we feel on
le tilting that obr brave sailors are already recompensed
in London for the affais of Navarin, and that our Mi.
nisiets intsre not even thought of publishing the grati•
tude of the country. Can it be that they date not make
the,nvelves the ihterpreteis of 'public opinion? Sach
humility would suit them; but no, what the Opposition
cry is true. Negneations have been carried on—battles
have beers oined—triumphs have been won...in spite
of them. The name of M. de Rigny is pethapsalready

has as yet given to it no place but at the foot of a
of killed and wounded at Navaria. Let us h.pe that it
was ashamed to open the same day its columns to ;hose
electoral threats which wither the public functionaries,
and to the recompenses which honour those who receive
and those who give. May the French navy, at any
rate,'find itt the admiration of a grateful country, a just
indemnity for the indlference, and perhaps for the
'anger of its Premier !

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM LIMN, NOV 5.1827.
" The Auti-Constitutionalists, seeing that Don Mi-
guel is not likely to answer their expectations are now
about to proclaim rt. Don Sebastian, a son of the late
Infant of Spain by a Portuguese Princess, at present in
Madrid, as ra-fit person, being a child, for their purposes.
His claim to the Crown of Portugal is, however, very
remote ; and, •therefore, if this Mad scheme should
by any possibility succeed, they expect is find in
him a fit tool as ' Absolute King.' He may find
numerous supporters among the lower orders of the
Portuguese, for there is a tradition, implicitly relied
on by them, that Don Sebastian will one day re-
turn to them: This Don Sebastian was King of
Portugal, and in 1578 led a powerful army into
Africa on a rooti.h expedition against the Moors; ile
was kil'esi in crossing a :jeer, and his army annhilated.
A ship. which arrived on Thursday last from Rio has
brought dispatches front the Emperor to the GIN
viern went. These dispatches are all addressed to Sa,-
tiAlllid, as Minister of War. According to report,
they speak highly of his services, and intimate to
Don Miguel that he must still be retained in the
Ministry ; as a reward for his services, he is invested with
the title of Count Saldaitha ; the Count de V. 11.4 Flor is
created a Marquis; and the Marquis Pahl-141i is mad_
Prime Minister—but this lait part is not believed by
many. By the general tenour of the letters, it would
appear that the Emperor expects that Don Migues is
already in this country. The quarterly inspection of
the English troops is now going on. The ',ulcer, have,
for the la,t week, been hard at it at Loos. C I. Wynd-
ham, Commandant of the Cavalry Brigade, has ex-
pressed himself greatly pleased with the high state of
,discipline of both Olß•era and men, the former of
.whom went through the, pike exercise, it possible
'with greater precision than the men. The Wand 65,
Regiments are stated to be on the point of having
this for Malta and Gibraltar. One of the reports in
circulatiou is, that the army here is to be increased to
7,000 men, and is to remain here, as an army of occu-
pation, for three years. The steam boat arrived here
on Toursday lair, alter a passage of 18 days from

London, and after many hair.biead.h ':.capes fr(,m
shipwreck, in the dreadful gales which s! e enconnterep
on her way. She put into Corunna, where she remained
two days, and from whence she arrived at Lisbon in
40 hours. An English sloop of war arrived yesterday,
in six d.iy s hem Plymouth, with dispatches."

we did have was a paper one, and at the name of

We have vz.erans warlike and victorious, accustomed
to conquer., always superior in numbers. The people
know their rights, they know also that the appearance
of the Spanlatd is a curse to the American. Although
the country is not now abundant, we shall not fail of
assistance from the nations allied to us, and from those
by whom we have been recognized. This expectation
we can now confidently cherish, when we find England
refusing any assistance to Spain in this very Expedi-
tion ; for a Proclamation has been published in Gibral-
tar, imposing very severe penaltks. on the Owners or
Captains of British vessels, ailing troops or warlike
stores. tot thitik our posit could not be more fa-1
iourable than it is, for it, at the period referred

all sleep in peace. And is there i head weak enoogh to
believe that 12,000 men can subdue twelve millions,

We are surprised beyond measure to find, that while
Charles X recognised the South American States, his
suisisin,,the King of Spain, is levying troops to subjugate
us. This enigma we will not attempt to solve at pre-
sent, because, although we have some conception of,the
matter, we shall not risk disclosing it. When we have
somewhat extended our information, we will make
it public.
