Der of French vessels assigned TO lbrahim for the
transport of his troops is A. The French occupied
Navarino Immediately after the evacuation, enterius
without resistance, neither a Turkish nor an Al.
banese garrison was left in that pace.-Coron, Mo.
don and patras occupied by a few Turks and
Abanese, who cannet hold out long as they are ve
nv short of PROVISIONS and even water. An Ottoman
frigae laden with provisions presented herself before
the fortresses of the Morea, with view to yicuaI
them. but our vessels prevented her entrance and
lcompelled her to return. The French have raised
batteries before Coron, within pistol shot The
Turks garrison did not offer the slightest oppos.
ion. Orders have been given for fascines to be
made but this seems to be merely precautionary
measure, and force will not be employed except in
case of sisance, which is by no means probable
