Frankfurt, 21 April. The frigate Hellas, commanded by Mialis, the steamship
Constancia and the brig Nelsen were ordered to blockade the coast of Eubea.
Livorno, 11 April. The corvette la Citta di Navarino, built at Livorno for
account of the Pasha of Egypt, left Livorno 11 March and joined in the morning
of the 12th off Porto-Ferrajo the at Marseille built corvette la Lionne. Both
ships were sighted some days later with a favourable wind off Messina. The
Egyptian war brig Washington, of 18 guns and a crew of 250 men, arrived at
Livorno, coming in 33 days from Alexandria. She left the latter harbour with a
war brig, but was separated from her in a storm in the waters of Candia, and
nothing was heard or seen of her more. Both ships transported the crew and the
commanding officers for the 60-gun frigate which was built at Livorno and
nearly completed fro departure. The building of new ships and the delivery of
stores were supplied quite a lot of profit for the town. The Egyptian sailors
were now dressed in proper uniforms.
