one country shelving more complete union
of spirit and of action, than was exhibited
by the Squadrons of the three Allied Pow
ers together, in this bloody and destructive
battle. He attributes to the bright example
set by his gallant Colleagues, the Rear Adj
mirals, the able and cordial support which
the ships of the several Squadrons gave to
each other during the heat and confusion of
the battle. Such union OF spirit, and of pur-
pose, such GOODNESS and bravery under fire;
and such consequent precision in the use
of their guns, ensured a victory over the
well prepared arrangements of greatly SUI
perior numbers; and the whole Turkish and
Egyptian fleets have paid the penalty OF
their treacherous breach of faith.
The boosted lbrahim Pacha promised not
to quit Navarln, or oppose the Allied fleet,
and basely broke his word. The Allied Com
manders promised to destroy the Turkish
and Egyptian fleets, ifa single gun was fred
at either of their flags; and, with the assist
ance of the brave men whom they have had
the satisfaction of commanding, they have
performed their promise to the very letter.
Out of fleet composed of sixty men-of-war,
there remains only one frigate and fifteen
smaller vessels in a state ever to be again
put to sea. Such victory cannot be gained
without a great sacrifice of life and the
Commander in Chief has to deplore the loss
of many of the best and bravest men which
the fleet contained. The consolation Is, that
they died in the service Of their country,
and Ill the cause of suffering humanity.
The Commander IN Chief returns his most
cordial thanks to his Noble Colleagues, the
two Rear Admirals, for the able manner in
which they directed the movements OF. their
Squadrons,a land to the Captains, Commanders,
Officers, Seamen, and Royal Marines, who
so faithfully obeyed their orders, and so
hravely completed the destruction of their
opponents.

Vice Admiral.
The three Admirals of the allied squad
rons have determined to put an end to the
outrageous piracies of the Greek cruizers,
which have been committed on the ships of
| all nations; and have addressed spirited
letter to the permanent committee of the
Legislative body, in which they declare that
they will not suffer any expedition, cruize
! or blockade, to be made by the Greeks be-
yond the limits of from Volo to Lepanto,
including Salamna, Egina, Hydra and
Spe2zia that they will consider as void
papers given to cruizers found beyond those
limits, and issue orders for their arrest that
they will not suffer the Greeks to incite
lnsurrection at Scio or in Albania, thereby
exposing the population to be massacred by
the Turks In retaliation.
1.-The Turkish ships were moored in the
form of a crescent, with springs on their
cables."-lSir T. Codriagtoas Letter.
A spring is hawser or rope passed out
from ships stern, and attached to a cable
proceeding from her bow, when she lies at
anchor. 1t is usually put on for the purpose
OF bringing the ships broadslde, or battery
OF cannon, TO bear upon some distant object
as another ship, or fortress on the coast,
&c. and to keep her in a required position:
or, in other words, to prevent her swinging
about, according to the action of wind or
current. Hence, if ship rides with her
head northerly, and it is required to can
nonade fortress to the south or southeast,
a hawser is run out from the stern and
being carried forward without her side, is
attached to the cable, at a competent dis
lance ahead of the ship: the hawser is
then frightened by the capstan or tackles,
and the cable being slackened, the ship i'm
mediately turns her side towards the object
intended to be battered.-See Burners
Fatcone', p. 495.
