Corfu, Oct. 3. An English brig of war
has just brought the news, that on the 23d
September, Ibrahim agreed to an armistice,
STIMULATING for the right to return without
impediment from the combined squadrons
to Alexandria, as soon as he should receive
new communications. The armistice with
the Greeks is stated to have been conclud-
ed under the guarantee of the command
ers of the Allied squadrons.
Dispatches from Admiral Codrington
announce, that the Egyptian fleet, in the
harbor of Navarino had violated the ar
lnistice. On the 18th of October, portion
ofthis fleet was intercepted by Admiral
Codrington, steering in the direction of
Patras, and as it afterwards appeared in
tending to relieve that place. They were
subsequently joined by another division.
Admiral Codrington appraised them that
they were violating the armistice which
bad been concluded with Ibrahm Pacha
The Turkish Commander replied, that he
was acting under the olders of the Pacha
and affected not to know that the proceed
ings was any violation of the existing ar
mistice. Admiral Codrington fired at some
of the transports to make them show their
colors. Three or four dsregarded the
summons, when they were immediately
boarded, and the remarkable circumstance
TRANSFERRED, that they were protected by
Austrian papers, and a Turkish firman,
conformity. They were of course suffered
to depart. At first, Admiral Codrington
intimated to the Egyptian fleet which had
left the harbor of Navarino, that as they
had violated the armistice, they should not
be permitted either to proceed, or to return
to Navarino This, however, was not per-
sisted in, and at the date of the despaches
they were on their return to join the rest
of the fleet. The Russian squadron was
in sight off Zante on the 18th, to join Ad-
miral Codrington.
A paragraph in the Augsburg Gazette
affirms that the Porte had received infor-
nation of the blockade of the Egyptian
fleet in Navarino, on the 4th, and the Brit
ish Traveller of Nov. l, adds, that-On the
9th of September, the frigate Caroline ar
rived at Navarino, from Smyrna, charged
with dispatches from the Porte to Ibrahim
Pacha, containing the resolutions of the
Sultan, not to accept of any mediation of
the Allied Powers in regard to Greece, as
well as a declaration, that in case of eX-
tremities, the Sultan would put himself at
the head of his forces, for the purpose of
terminating the war. 1t is said. that the
armistice concluded with Ibrahim, contains
conditions that hostilities shall recommence
against the Greeks, if it is not approved of
by the Sultan, or the Viceroy of Egypt.

prisoners, and the remainder took shelter

invested by the Persian Army.
SPAIN. The latest French papers bring
news from Spain, which proves not only
that the rebellion is not yet at an end, bu
that the insurgents are SO strong, that the!
are enabled to maintain balanced contes
with the Royal troops, and alternate sue
eesses and failures render it doubtful which
party will ultimately prevail
