The leading event is the demolition, total and en-
tire, of the Turkish fleet in the harbour OF Nava-
rino by the combined British, French and Russian
sauadrons-the whole under the command OF the
British Admiral, Sir +. Codrngton. The English
official account, well as one published in the fa-
ris Moniteur, will be found IN our columns together
with other particulars of the state of affairs prece-
ding the battle--u battle more decisive than any
that has occurred in the waters of the Archipelago,
since t1at Of Lepano in the 10th century. There
