FROM ENGLAND.

yesterday AFTERNOON, from Liverpool,
whence she sailed on the 22d ult. We re-
|ceived no papers by her, and understand at
the post office, that none were brought in
he bags. A Liverpool paper Of the 2lst
was accidentally destroyed on the passage,
md the Albion of the 10Th, for perusal Of
WHICH we are indebted to mr.. Sanderson,
the Coffee House, contains nothing that
'e have not already had from London, by
ne Cambria.
We perceive that the opinion is enter.
aimed in Liverpool, that for two weeks pre-.
'ious to the battle of Navarino the combin.
ed admirals expected that they should have
Ito proceed to extremities.
Admiral Codrington despatched two
seventy fours to Malta, to procure an eX-
|trsordinary quantity Of ammunition, when
the vessels all left the Tagus properly e
|quipped. Similar movements have also
been made by Admiral De tigney, all Of
which were accomplished before the ex-
pration Of the arnistice OF the Nth.
The following description is from Mr..
Purdy's new Sailing Directory for the
Mediterranean Sea:
The harbor Of Navarino. one Of the
5est if not altogether the best in the No
yea, extends to the southwark of old Nav
arino. 1t is formed in front by the mar
cw isle called Sphagia, the ancient Sphac-
eric, which is three miles (nautlc) in
9Th. The entrance, which is at the
lth side OF this island, is less than a mile
toad, but the harbor wdens to upwards
Z three miles, and its general depths,
attn the exception of two shoal spots, are
som 81 to l2 fathoms.
Navarlno, or Neo Castro, is n city on
le S T.. side Of the harbor, of q or 1000
lhabitants, who, at the commencement Of
le bombardment in 1925. retired north
ard into Arcadia. The harbor Is so spa.
lous, and so secured from the sea by the
land of Sphagia, as to be capable of re-
Giving numerous fleet. The narrow
hssage between Oh Navarino and the
sand admits of fishing boats only, and
ere is port where it may be crossed by
ordlng. The fortress received its water
ON Old Navarno whilst the T0rklsh
Ieet was in sight, and before the capture
|ef the island.
Navarino is surrounded by wall with
ut ditch; the height commanding the
ity Is little hexigon, defended by five
overs at the external angles, bat without
lis> hes, outworks, or ramparts Within
rom the sea frig ate might, in two or
rec hours, batter down the walls; the
tilery of the place, in 1925, consisted of
.pieces of cannon; the greater part in
E fort, 8 on the battery at the entrance
the harbor, and few in some OF the
wers along the city.
IN 1925, an epideInical disease, rescm.
ng the plague, affected this place while

soating the neighboring towns of Nh

F'a common honesty require that the re-
ming years (and they must be few of

d number which, in our public affairs,
constant sources Of wonder--where
i soices Of the people are but as one,
Al at the same time not obeyed by their
esentatives. Notwithstanding this u.

for the Revolutionary soldiers. have
uniformly opposed, either openly, or

A lie bills proposed, which have, in every

we express but the wish of every

be listened to with favor
