Three ar keis arrived ySsisrla,--eix: the William
Thompsoa, and Hnien, from Liverpool, aud Bayard.
from 4 aacc. L these arrivals we have RECEIVED The
Official account of the DESTRUCTION OF THE
FURNISH AMI EGYPTIAN FLEETS. Anxious
pu; paper TO press with as little DELAY as poes
bic, We shall omit the official account which is long
until our next Spectator, and in the mean time give
the following summary from the London Courier of
Nov. 10th.
The British lost rs killed and 1877 wounded: the
French IS killed and 144 wounded We have NOT vet
sscertained the Russian less. The Turks add Egyps
tans fought with great 'niiieir loss is very great,
hut not fully aceraHed In two of their largest
vessels 1850 were killed.
The action was brought IN consequence ola gross
violation Of the Arnsticc, aud the cruelty of Ibrahm
Pacha, who finding that he would not be allowed to
commit naval bost'iites, resolved in defiance Of the
aimistice, aud in breach of his solemn promises TO
wreak his vengeance the whole Greek population;
and this savage determination he carrying into eff
,ec, by burning houses, destroying agriculture and
trees, and even massaCreing women and children.
Sir Edward Codrngton despatched the Dartmouth
ahead, for the purpose of sending a communication
to Ibrahlm or the Turkish Admiral, warning him Of
the consequences of his proceedings by bringing down
upon hun the vengeance of the allied sluadrons The
Dartmouths boat carrying this COMMUNICATION, was
fired upon, and we regret add, that Lieut. Fitroy,
and the whole of the boats crew, were killed. This
the signal for attack The British Admiral proud
" led in the Asa, and, placing her between the Tur-
kSh and Egyptian Admlras, opened atremendous fire
upon the former.
From the London Courier.
Total destruction of the combined Turkish and Egyp-
sian feet.
We have this day to announce another splendid
triumph achieved by the British navy which, we trust
will not be the less gratifying the public, because it
has been performed conjunction with our Allies,
and for the protection Of the unonending population
of Greece. Ee
Dispatches were this morning received at the Adj
miraity, announcing brilliant victory obtained on the
Goth of Oct in the port of Navarino, by the English,
French end Russian squadrons, over the combined
Turkish and Egyptian fleet.
The battle was fought at anchor,and was necessa-
rily, bloody and destructive. The numerical superb
GRITTY OF the Ottoman force was immense, but the
suit has been, are proud to say the entire destrMc
ton Of the ,ohole Turkish force
We have received, in private letter, the following
statement of the conflicting forces, and of the result
English F0rce.-Three sails of the line, four fri
gates, one corvette, three briggs.
French Force.-Thrte sails of the line, frigates
two schOoners.
Russian Force-Four sails of the line four frigaes
Total of the Ales-26 sail
Turkish Force.-Three sails of the line, four doub-
lie frgates. nineteen frgates, twenty-tour corvetes
fou, teen briggs, six fire ships.
Totai-70 sail.
There WERE besides about forty transports and 9TH
er vessels formed behind the Turkish feet. The re-
| suit Isl one Turkish line-of-battle-shps burned; two
driven shore, wrecks-l double frigate sunk one
on shore wreck; two burned-ffteen frigates burnt
and sunk; three Shore wrecks; one on Shore
four on shore, wrecks-nine briggs burnt and sunk:
one shore, masts standingsiX fire ships destroy
cd, and three transports
So that it appears out of the whole seventy vessels
of war, only eight Of the smaller classes were aaoat
which is probably to be accounted for from their small
draft ofwater enabling them haul in close under the
batteries ashore, and which appear to have been very
| formidable.
