Important news Jrom Europe.
Total destruction of the combined Tutkishand
Egyptian Fleet.
Ey the Schooner -Glide, Captain Bac-
tram, frnm New York, tve tuve been po
litely favored with New York papers to
Tuesday last, which contained highly im
portant news, received by ibe William
Thomson, from Liverpool, whence she
sailed on the 20th uh. A blow has been
struck, and Greece will be free. The
London Cornier of the 10th Nov. says—
We have this day to announce another
splendid triumph achieved bv the British
Navv, which we trust, will not be the less
gratifying fo tpublic, because it has
been performed in conjunction with our
Allies, and for the protection of the uiiuf-
Jending population <d Giper .
' Despatches were tins morning received
at the Admiralty, announcin'./ a brilliant
victory obtained on the 20tlt October, in
the Port of Navarino, by the English
French and Russian Squadrons, over the
combined Turkish and Egyptian fleets.
The battle was fought at anchor and
was necessarily bloody and destructive-
The numerical superiority of the Ottoman
force was immense, but the result has
been, we are proud to say. the entire des
truction of the whole Turkish force.
We have received in a private letter,
the following statement of Hue conflicting
forces, arid of the result :—•
English Force,—Three sail of the line,
lour frigates one corvette, and three brigs.
French Force,—Three sail of the line,
two frigates, and two schooners.
- Russian Force,—Four sail of the line,
four Frigales.
Total of the Allies—2.6 sail.
2'urkish Force— Three sail of th» line,
four double frigates, nineteen frigates ;
twenty-four corvettes, fourteen brigs, six
fire ships.
Total 70 sail.
There were besides, about forty trans
ports, and other vessels formed behind the
Turkish fleet. The icsult is: ong Tur
kish line of battle ship burned ; two driv
en on shore, wrecks ; one double frigate
sunk, one on shore a wreck ; one burned ;
fifteen frigates burnt and sunk, three on
shore wrecks ; one on shore, mast stand
ing
one on shore, masts standing—six fire-
shins destroyed, and three.transports.
So that it appears, that the whole seven
ty voxels r.f *ar. only eJ-ht of the small
er classes were afloat, which is prohablv
to be accounted for from their small draft
of water, enabling them to haul in close
under the batteries ashore, and which ap
pear to have heenVerv favorable.
We regret fo sav, that the loss of the
Allies has been mmsideraltfe, though no
thing like what might have been expected
from the numetical superiority of the ene
my, and the obstmacy of the conflict.
We understand that the British loss has
been about /0 kdlt/d and 180 wounded.—
The only officer of high rank killed, was
Gapt. Bathurst, of the Genoa. The
French squadron lost about 40 killed and
i40 wounded. We have not heard the
loss of the Rusianf.
It is stated that affairs were brought to
this crisis hy the faith and crueltv of Ibra
him Pacha, who finding that he would not
be allowed to commit naval hostilities, re
solved, in defiance of the armistice, and
in breach of his solemn promises, to wreak
’•is vengeance on the whole Groek popu
lation ; and this savage determination he
was carrying into effect, by burning lous
es, destroying agriculture and trees, and
even ma'ssacreing women and children.
The papers are full of news and con
jectures on tlrs important event. Ibra
him Pacha is carrying fire and sword
through Morea. Wc have no doubt from
our knowledge of the Turkish character,
that the most frightful massacres wil' fol
low ; but they will he rpvenged ; and nro-
bablv, the whole Turkish force finally
destroyed. Nothing hut this step could
have ended tlte war. The event has
iirea.tiij gre.ia cr>nsatjnn throttpFoui Europe
and we wait with anx'etv to bear how it
has been received in Constantinople.
It is stated, in letters from Y ienna of
5th November, that the Austrian Inter-
nuncio at Constantinople, had transmitted
to h s government a proposition from the
Sultan tfiat Austria should become the
mediator in the discussions going on be
tween bint aud the three allied powers',
and that the assent of Austria to this
proposition had b“en formally cnmimiiii-
as the Count who has been President
elect for some months seizes this favorable
moment to embark, and place himself at
the head of the nation.
The French papers stated that the Am
bassadors from the three powers, had ef
fected their escape from Constantinople.
On the other hand,the latest eccounts from
Constantinople, 20ih Oct. represented
the negociafions as still proceeding,—and
under the saspicies of the Austrain Am
bassador.
The Kiog of England, as a mark of
high approval of the conduct of the officers,
seamen and marines at Navarino, has con
ferred upon Vice Admiral Codrington a
Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath—
nominating at the same time all the cap
tains and commanders who shared in the
honor of the day to he Knights Comman

1827. Despatches of which the follow-
ingare copies or extracts, have been this
day received at this office addressed to
John Wilson Croker, Esq. by, Vice Ad
miral Sir Edward Codrington K. C. B.
Commander in Chief of his Majesty’s
»b ip«in ihe Mediterranean.
Ihs Majesty's ship Asia, in the Port of
Navarino Oct.. 21, 1827.—Sir—I have
the honor of informing his Royal High
ness the Lord High Admiral, that my
colleagues Count Hayden and Chevalier]
de Rigny, having agreed with me that we
should come into this poit, in order to in
duce Ibrahim Pacha to discontinue the
brutal war of extermnation, which he has
been carrying on since his return here
from his failure in the Gulp!) of Patras,
the combined squadrons passed the bat
teries, in order to take their anchorage, at
about two obdock yesterday afternoon.
The Turkish ships were moored in the
form of a crescent, with springs on their
cables, the larger ones presenting their
broadsides towards the centre, the stnal!
ones in succession within them filling up
their intervals.
The combined fleet was formed in tire
order of sailing in two columns,t^eB ritish
and French, forming the weather or star-
bord line, and the Russian the lee line.
T he Asia led in, follow ed by the Genoa
and Albion, and anchored close alongside
a ship of the line, bearing the flag of the
Capitana Bay, another ship of the line, and
a large doubled banked frigate, each thus
having their proper opponent in the from
line, of the Turkish fleet. The four ships
to tviirdward part of the Egyptian squad
ron, were allotted to the squadron of Rear
Admiral do Rignv, and those to leeward,
in the bight of this crescent were to mark
the stations of the wholeRussian squadron;
ships o| their line closing those of the En-
ifsel* at Its termination was such as nas
been seldom witnessed. As each ship of
our opponents became effectually disabled
such of her crew as could escape from her
endeavored to set it on fire, and it is won-
nerful how we avoided the effects of their
successive aud awful explosions.
It is impossible for me to say too mueli
for the able and zealous assistance which
I derived from Captain Curzon through
out this long and ardent contest; nor can
I say more than it deserves for the con
duct of Commander Baynes and the offi
cers and crew of the Asia, for the perfec
tion with which the fire of their guns was
directed ; each vessel in turn, to which her
broadside was presented became a com
plete wreck.—His Royal Highness will be
awaie that so complete a victory by a few
however perfect, against an excessive
number however individually inferior can
not b'e acquired but at a considerable sa
crifice of life : accordingly I have to la
ment the loss of Capt. Bathrust of the
Genoa, whose example on this occasion j
is well worthy the imitation of his survi- !
vors. Capt. Bell, commanding the Royal I
Marines of the Asia, an sxcellent officer,;
was killed early in the action in the stea- 1
dy performance of his dutv and I have to ;
mourn the death of Mr William Smith, the j
Master, admired for the zeal and ability
ft officers wer'e made pr&ouers" but thfi
Colonel was absent and escaped.
Mr. GILMER presented the petition
of Richard Henry Wilde, of Georgia,
asking for the cancelling of a bond given
by him to export from the United States
certain captured Africans.
[This memorial is so interesting, and based
upon such honorable motives, that we
shall endeavor to lay it before our readers
entire.]
Mr. P. P. BARBOUR, from the
Committee on the Judiciary, reported a
bill for the relief of Geueral Thomas
Flournoy, of Georgia ; which was made '
the order of the day for to-morrow.
On motion of Mr. DRAYTON, i: was |
Resolved, That the Committee on com-
merce be instructed to enquire into the !
expediency of authorizing the Secretary !
of the Treasury to have public ware-hou- '
ses erected in the principal commercial
ci'ies of the United States.
Resolved, That the same Committee be
instructed to inquire into the expediency
of permitting drawbacks to be allowed on
any parts of such packages as may be de
posited in the public ware-houses, which
are under the charge of tho Revenue
Officers of the United States.
Mr. GILMER of Georgia, stated,
• , , • , i , i • i . , , that he had been directed, by the Legis-
witli which he executed his dutv, and be-1. - .
loved bv all for his private qualities as a
, glish line, and hein? followed up bv their
' f-een corvettes burned and sunk ; j own frigates. The French frigate Armide
was directed to place herself along side
the outermost frigate on tho left hand en
tering the harbor; and the Carnbrain
Glasgow, and Talbot next to her, and a-
brest of the Asia, Genoa and Albion ; the
Dartmouth and Musquitto, the Rose the
Brisk, and the Philomel were to look after
the six fire vessels at the entrance of the
harbor. I gave orders that no guns should
be fired unless guns were first fired by the
1 urks; and those orders were strictly ob
served.
The three English ships were accord
ingly permitted to pass the batteries to
moor, as they did with great rapidity,
without any act of open'hostility, although
there was evident preparation for it on
board all the Turkish ships; but upon the
Dartmouth sending a boat to one of the
fire vessels, Lieut. G. W. M. Fitzroy, and
several of her crew were shot with mus
ketry. This produced a defensive fire of
musketry from the Dartmouth and La Sv-
rene, bearing the flag of Rear Admiral de
Rigny. That was succeeded bv a can
non shot at the Rear Admiral from one of
the Turkish ships, which, of course, hro’t
on a leturn, and thus very shortly after
wards, the battle became general. The
Asia, although placed alongside of the
ship of the Capitana Bev, was even near*
ei to that of Moharew Bev, the comman
der ol the Egyptian ships ; and since Iiis
ships did not fire at the Asia, although the
action was begun to windward, neither
did the Asia fire at her. The latter in
deed sent a message “that he would not
fire at all ’and therefore no hostility took
place between our two ships for some
time after the Asia had returned the fire
of the Capitana Bev.
In the mean time, however, our excel
lent pilot, Mr. Peter Mitchell, who went
to interpret-to Moharem mv desire to »-
v»id bloodshed, was killed by his people
in our boat alongside. Whether with or
without his order I know not; But his
ship soon afterwards fired into 'the Asia
and was consequently effectually destroy
ed by the Ask’s fire, sharing the same fate
as his brother Admiral on the starboard
side, and fdllng to leeward a mere wreck.
These ships being out of the way, the A-
sia became exposed to all raking fire from
man. Mr. Heniy S. Dyer. my.Secretary
having received a severe contusion from a
splinter, I" am deprived temporarily of
his valuable assistance in collecting and
keeping up the general returns and com
munications of the squadrons : I shall
therefore retain in my office, Mr E. J. T.
White his 1st Clerk whom I have nomina
ted to succeed the purser of the Brisk.
I feel much personal obligation to the
Hon. Lieut. Col. Craddock, his readiness
during the heat of tke battle in carrying
my orders and messages to the different
quarters after my Aids de Camp were
disabled ; but I will beg permission to re
fer his Royal Highness for further parti
culars of this sort to the details of the kill
ed and wounded, a subject which it is
painful for me to dwell upon ; when I con
template, as I do with extreme sorrow
the extent of our loss, I console myself
with the reflection, that the measures
which produced the battle were absolutely
necessary for obtaining the results contem
plated by the Treaty and that it was
brought on entirely by our opponents.
When I found that the boasted Otto
man word of honor was made a sacrifice
to wanton savage devastation and that a
base advantage was taken of our reliance
upon Ibrahim’s good faith, I felt a desire
to punish the offenders. But -it was mv
duty to refrain, and refrain I did : and I
can assure your Royal Highness, that I
would have avoided this disasterous ex
tremity, if other means had been open to
me. The Asia, Genoa and Albion, have
each suffered so much, that it is my in
tention t'o send them to England as soon
as they shall have received the necessary
repairs for their voyage. The Talbot,
being closely engaged with a double bank
ed frigate, has also suffered considerably,
as well as others of the smaller vessels ;
but I hope their defects are no more than
can be made .good at Malta. The loss of
men in the Turko-Egyptian ships must
have been immense, as his Royal High
ness will see by the accompanying list
obtained from the Secretary of the Cap-
itania Bev, which includes that of two out
of the three ships to which the English
division was opposed. Capt Cruzon hav
ing preferred continuing to assist me in
the Asia, I have given the charge of my
despatches to Commander, Lord Viscount
Tngestrp, who besides having had a bril
liant share in the action, is well competent
to give his Royal Highness the Lord
High Admiral any further particulars he
may require.
I enclose, for His Royal Highness fur
ther information, a letter from Captain
Hamilton descriptive of the proceeding
of Ibrahim Pacha, and the misery of the
country which he has devastated—a proto
col of a conference which I had with my
colleagues & rhe pla
ing the port
lature of that State, to move the following
resolution ;
Resolved, That the Committee of Ways j
and Means be instructed to inquire into j
the propriety of making an appropriation ■
to defray the expences of copying the;
documents and papers in the Plantation j
Office, and other Public Offices, in En
gland, relating to the early history of
of Georgia.
At the suggestion of Mr. WIIIPPLE,
the resolution was modified by the mover,
so as to include “Jthe other States.”
Mr. WILLIAMS inquired who were
to be employed in making the proposed
copies from the British records, and what
would be the probable expense of them.
Mr. GILMER replied, that, on these
subjects he was no farther informed than
the gentleman himself: he had been di
rected by the Legislature of his State to
offer the resolution, and he presumed, out
of respect for that State, the inquiry
would be permitted.
The resolution was then adopted.
Mr. MITCHELL, of Tennessee, sub
mitted ihe following.
Resolved, That the Committee on In
dian Aiiairs be instructed to inquire into
the expediency and practicability of es
tablishing some mode by which all the In
dians East of the Mississippi River may
be immediately and gradually removed
beyond or West of said River, and £a
sufficiency ofland attached to each tribe
and secured to such tribe or tribes, with
the sovereignty or right of soil, in the same
manner, and to the same extent, that the
right of domain is secured to the respective
States of the Union; and there to estab
lish a Territorial Government over them,
of the same kind, and regulated bv the
same rules, that the Territories of the
United States are now governed; and
that, if the said Committee cannot devise
any plan tlrat shall be just and magnani
mous, on the part of the United States,
to attain that end, that they shall then in
quire into the right and expediency of
extending the laws, municipal regulations
of the United States, and, also of the seve
ral States wherein said Indians resibe, o-
ver them.
On a suggestion of Mr. LUMPKIN
that the subject was already before the
Committee on Indian Affairs, the resolu
tion was, on motion of Mr. MITCH
ELL, laid on the table.
Amendments to the Constitution.
Mr. SMITH submitted the following :
Resolved, That the following amend
ments to the Constitution of the United
States be proposed to the Legislatures of
the several States, which when ratified by
three-fourths thereof, shall be a part of
the said Constitution :
1, After the third day of March, on,e
thousand eight hundred and twenty-nine,
*3. Alter the third day of March, one
thousand eight hundred and twenty nine,
no Senator or Representative shall, during
the time for which he was elected, be ap
pointed to any office or employment under
the authority ot the United States.
4. When the House of Representatives
shall choose a President, no person, who
shall have been a member of that House
at the time of making the choice, shall du
ring the continuance in office of the Pres
ident so chosen, be appointed to anv off
ice or employment under the authority of
the United States.
This proposition was read, and com
mitted to the Committee of the Whole on
the State of the Union.
Mr. M’DUFFIE Submitted the follow
ing ; Resolved, That it is expedient that
the Constitution of the U. S. be so a-
mended as to prevent the election of
President and Vice President from de
volving on the respective Houses of Con
gress.
Resolved, That the People of the res
pective States, entitled to vote for the
most numerous branch of the Legislature,
ought to be invested with the privilege of
voting, directly', for the aforesaid officers;
each State giving as many electoral votes
as will equal the number of Senators and
Representatives to which such State may
be entitled in Congress.
Resolved, That the Constitution ought
i to be so amended as to provide some uni-
| form mode by which the qualified voters,
| aforesaid, shall give the electoral votes
in the respective States.
Resolved, That it is expedient that the
votes should be given, in the respective
States, h-y a general ticket.
Resolved, That the several states ought
to be divided into Electoral Distriots, for
the purpose of voting for President and
Vice President.
Resolved, That a Committee be ap
pointed to draw up an amendment of the
Constitution, in conformity with the fore
going resolutions.
This proposition was read, and com
mitted to the Committee of the Whole on
the State of the Union.
