LATEST FROM EUROPE.-By the
arrival ut New.York, at different times, Of the
Ships Canada and Napoleon, from Liverpool,
papers Of that place to the cath and Of Lon.
don to the esd ult. are received. From the
Ncw.York papers we make the following ex-
tracts:
The health Of the Emperor Of Russia was
nearly established. The publication Of
official accounts from the physicians had ccas.

We find no confirmation Of the rumour re.
ceived by the John jay, that the Greeks had
been defeated by the Turks near Athens.

Rosslnel, commander OF division Of the
French squadron Ia the Levant, In letter to
the minister Of the Marine dated NavarinO,
November 10th, says, hasten to acquNint
your Excellency with horrible event, which
has plunged into mourning our army In the
MOrca. A dreadful storm broke out last
night ut half past eleven over NavNrin. The
lightning fell upon the citadel, and setting are
~ the powder maga1inc, blew u up with an
the walls and buildings u the enclosure. The
injury extended to n great distance beyond,
principally IN the town, where not one Of the
wrotchcd huts which compose II has remained
habitahle. Above 100 artillery men who
were lodged there have been victims Of the
disaster. Az Ear rs we have hitherto discOv~
cred, II are killed and ~ are wounded, among
whom Is an officer Of artillery and nine men
missing, who are supposed to be still buried In
the ruins.
The commotion was so violent that every
vessel thought itself struck by the lightning,
and examination was made, both within and
without, to ascertain the fact. Soon after
wards, being informed Of the misfortune, ]
went on shore with 600 men, drafted from diff
ferent ships, and a great number Of torches,
&c. 1t will be difficult to form an idea of the
dreadful scene we witnessed. The darkness
Of the night rendered our task extremely DIFF
Rcult. II was even dangerous, because many
thousand bombs and grenades had been scat
tered by the explosion, and covered the ground
still loaded, and, before our arrival, fires had
been kindled in the midst Of them, to afford
light. Happily heavy rain had spoiled the
matches. One, however, caught Gre and
burnt, but did not explode. Order was i'm
medistely given to put out all the fres, and
keep only the torches"
InandatiOn IN Egypt.-A ship from Alex
andria, In Egypt, arrived at Marseilles, brought
the news, that great inundati0n Of tS~ Nile
had taken place on the e5th Of October; that
two villages, with their inhabitants, had been
swept away, that $4,000 ardebs Of provis-
ions and quantity Of indigo and cotton, had
been carried away by the waters, which would
have inundated Alexandria, if the engineers
had not turned them into another channel.
A letter from Fitch, Brothers g. Co. dated
Marseilles, December 5th, inserted in the
JouIn Of Commerce, says that the above
news Is confirmed, ard that the destruction Is
much greater than was at first reported
" The loss oflite Is set dOlVW at thirty thousand
souls, and the loss in cattle, indigo, and every
description Of property. appears to be meal.
