Government obtains great advantages over

run blindfold into all sorts Of errors. Power
waits with circumspec ton for the ripenng of
events. Nevertheless, the experience OF each

been manifested on all points in its progress
by prudent march, which defes chance, and
which results have always uslled.

For some days past, great importance has
been attached To incidents which do not in any
essential manner interrupt The progress of
events, and which may even hasten them. The
passage Of the Egyptian fleet into Greece is
explained by the dates, and by the respect
which the Powers observed towards their So
lemu engagements. This feet sailed from Al
exandria on the first Of August, and entered on
the 9th of September into NavarIn,s 1t was
then at sea month before the expiration Of

actually entered the port where il now lies al
anchor. The English Admiral notified to it,
as well as to the Commander of the Turkish
feet, the measure specified in the terms of the
treaty, as well as the armis'ice accepted by
the Greeks. There Can be no dob that
means will be found Of making this announces
