Patras, aud there barnt oa the Sd &c October,
Eve TNsrk ish vessels which had bren Cor some
time IN the Gulf II detained besides three
Austrian vessels which were taking in Cargoes
af curgants Cor T'riesIe-Several Austrian ves-
sells which lad escaped them arrived at Fan
to without cargoes. II seems that the Tur-
kish feet has been hi0dered by the English
from entering the Gulf Of Patras, for we
learn by ship which has arrived in II days
from ,ModOn, that Ibrahim had returned to
Navafin with the greatest part Of his feet.
The letters from Messina say that the Rus
sian feet was still in the port of that city on
the 9th Oct.
TRIEsf, Oct. I9.--The execution of the
Convention of the 9th July, which can no
longer be- doubted, after what has taken place
at NavarinO, must speedily set at rest every
doubt entertained respecting the future. IL
the Divan, when it shall be acquainted with
the Armistice concluded with the Egyptian
fleet, still conducts itself with moderation,
the problem is solved, and the impotence of
the Ottoman Government becomes visible {:
prOtestatiOns and manfestOes will be useless.
1t is thought that the 10th of this month the
aFmistic for twenty days, concluded between
lbrahim and Admiral Codringt0n, will be
known at COnstantinople, and, as it appears
certain that lbrahim received orders for the
Egyptian feet to sail in some days after his
arrival, for the purpose Of ascertaining in
positive manner, the intention of the allied
squadrons, of which the Divan seemed to en-
terrain doubts, it will soon be seen whether
the Porte will oppose by arms the execution
of the Treaty of the 9th July.
5 From the Gazette de France
ZANTE, Oct. Awe are assured that, af
ter the arrival in the camp of Ibrahim of En-
voys from Constantinople, kind of sedtion
arose, and that all the persons about him for
ced him to take advantage of the absence of
the French and English Admirals to quit the
port, and proceed towards Patras. He sail
ed, IN fact, in that direction, in the night Of
the Oth of Septs An English brig of war
came on the Cd Oct, and gave notice of this
event to Admiral Codrington, who had been
at anchor in our roads, and put to sea in such
haste that he had not time to take on board
several officers who were on shore. At ten
in the morning he fell in with the Egyptian
fleet which was sailing along the coast Of
Moiea, followed by small number of French
and English vessels, which had been LIFT be-
fore the port of Navarin. The wind did not
seem very favorable to the enterprise. Of
Ca.tel TOlnese the Egyptians suddenly turn
ed their, course, and steered directly towards
Cape Skineri, which is the north coast Of
Zaite, where they furled their sails, and, to
thelgreat establishment of the inhabitants pre-
paied to cast auchor. The Municipal Au-
thorities of the island were obliged to hasten
to the beach, to restrain the people, who were
already in arms on the coast, and part Of
whom had embarked in boats to oppose the
landing of the Egyptians.
\ The European vessels formed at the mo-
ment a half circle about the Egyptian feet,
and an English brig proceeded to the Egyp-
tian Admiral's ship, as if to parley. After
the lapse Of half an hour the Egyptian and
European ships all returned towards the Mo-
rea; and it was supposed that The Rrner be-
ing better informed, were going to return to
Navarin. However on the Sd, Admiral
Codrington returned here, on board the ASIA,
despatched several avisos to Corfu, Alexan-
dria, Constantinople, and Milo, and seemed to
make preparations to hinder the Egyptians,
who were still in sight, from proceeding to
Patras. We very distinctly saw the French
and English ships form two lines above Cas-
tel Tornese, and prepare for battle. The A.
STA was going to put to sea again at five o.
clock in the afternoon, when Lord Cochrane
and the Greek feet came in sight. 1t renal
ned at anchor for some time, and made sig
nails to brig of war which sailed towards the
MOrea. -
The night prevented us from perceiving the
movements that took place afterwards, but,
about 8 O'Clock heavy cannonade was heard,
which continued for a long time. This NOR
ming The squadrons were not to he seen, and
it was generally said that Ibrahim had been
attacked by Lord Cochrane, and compelled
after an obstinate combat, to return to Nava-
rim. The Asia had also weighed anchor. and
disappeared during the night. At present
we have only the usual guard ships in our
roads.
1t would appear from the French and Ger
man Papers that the Russians are about to
assemble, or are assembling, large force on
the frontiers of Turkey. We long since
said, that England was reduced to this ex-
tremity, SO farsas respecting the Greek and
the Turkish question--or, perhaps, it ought
to be called the Russian question-that Rus
STA has said as much as this, to England, if
you do not separate Greece from Turkey, g.
make Greece an independent state, under the
guarantee of Russia, or other Powers, we
will. And we further believe that Mr.. Can
ming, and the rest of the Cabinet, knowing
the measures which were taking place Oh the
part of Russia, to put her threats into execu-
ton, gave way to circumstances, and in order
to ward of the direct blow aimed by Russia
at the Peninsula of which COnstantinople is
