I' - . FOREIGN I ‘TELLIGENiE. s - r. PETERSBURGII, SEPTEMIII7I Tr. The iAlowing report has been received from Vice Admiral Siniavin, in the Archipehigo, relative to the aff4IIS of t!),z t ttit of May and the 19th of June, be- tween the Ruffian and Turkith fluadrons ; tugether with an account of the attempt of the Turks to dif lolge a detachment of our tt oops from the fort and the Ifland of Tenedos " On the 7th of May, eight Turkilh l'hips of the line, fix frigates and (mailer veffeis, kith about fifty gun boats, paired the (traits of the Dardanelles, and tteered towards Tenedos. Admiral Biniavin, for' feveral reafons, got under fail will) his fquadroa, con• filling of ten (hips of the line, and Iteered his courfe towards the Eland of Ymbro. The Turks, walling to avail themfelves of his abfenc_ for landing their troops upon the Oland of Tenedos, made two attempts for this pnrpofe on the Bth, when they were repulfed with great lots by a divifion of our troops from the fortrefs, under the command of Majlr a - dennow ; of courfe they did not attempt to hind a third time, but fleered over to the coati of Natolia, and concealed themfelves in the creeks. " On account of contrary wirids and a Qrong cur rent, we could not make any attack on the Turkifh fleet on the Bth or 9th; but or. the loth, at two in the afternoon, the a ind being favourable, an attack was determined upon. however, our (hips were fcarcely got under weigh, when the Turks alfo weighed anchor, and attempted to gain the Darda nelles under fuel fail. Our (hips purfued them to the month of the ar,iits, and canncnaded them two hours during their pafrage. The enemy's (hips were fa precipitate in their flight, that three of them were liranded between the batteries and the promontory of Alia ;moll of them were contiderably damaged in their hulls, and had a number of killed. " The Turks, having received a reinforcement of Grips of war and frigates from Contiantinople, made their appearance a , ,ain on the other tide of the Dar danelles on the toth of June. They had now ten chips of the line, fix frigates, and five fortaller veffels ; among the former were three flag (hips, one of them a three deck.er, carrying the Captain Pacha's co lours, and two others with an Admiral's flag. Near the :liana of Ymbro they call anchor, and formed the line of 'oattle. In confequence of contrary winds and currents, our fquadron could not approach them dun. my three days, but on the evening of the 14. th we got under weigh with a favourable breeze. " On the ,sth, being on the other fide of the ifland cf Ymbro, and unperceived by the enemy, we learned they had weighed anchor, and (leered for Tenedos. At the fame time a number of boats, with Turkifh troops on hoard, made their appearance from the coati of Afia, upon which the Ruffian garrifon of Tenedos immediately got under arms, and occupied the rn , ,11 important polls and fhores of the ifland.— When the enemy's (hips cane within half cannon nun of the fort, they were fired upon not only by the fort, but by the flops lying in the harbour, upon which they made their boats approach the northern fide of the ifland, and there attempt a landing, but they were repulfed. Next morning, at day break, the Turkifh frigates and grin boats opened their fire upon our works, and at the fare time they caufed a great number of vef. fels, v ith troops can board, ta approach the ifland from the - en:an of Anatolia. To oppofc this landing, the Ruffian C , mmandant detached 300 men ; but before they cat' arrive at the place of detlination, the Turks had fticceeded in landing woo men, under cover of their frigates and fh;ps of the line. The con tinual fire of ewe and cattriaige from thefe valets left the fm..11 Ruffian detachment no choice as to the propriety of retiring. " The enemy, well knowing the weaknefs of the fort, fl ittered emfelves with the hope of making themfelves matters of it with little or no difficulty ; accordimly, on the t 7th they again approached it with their wh fquadron, and one (sip of the line and a frigate kept up a cannonade againtl it during three hours ; but when the enemy obferved that our fqua dron approached Tenedos, they got a part of their troops on hoard, with the utrrioft precipitation, and Rood out to fea. " The wind having changed in the night of the a3th, our fquadron was detained till the 17th, in its paffage between the ifland of Ymbro and the Eu• ropean cr aft ; but on the 17th, with the North wind in their favour, they bore up for Tenedos, and ob (crying that the enemy's final' craft, with troops, were upon the coati, the Ruffian row gallies were ordered to attack them. A part of them were Punt by the galleys, end the tell difperfed. - " As loon as the fort had been lupplied with ne cefraries, and difpntitions made fer preventing the approach of the enemy's 'rads, the frigate Venus, and the S . .izhergen {loop, were left to proted the coati, On the 18th, the Ruffian fleet was again un der fail, fleeting their courfe fur Lemnos, where they hoped to find he Turks. On the 19th, at day break, they defctied, as they expelled, ten (hips of the line, five frigyee, arid an equal number of fmall veffels. The Turks formed their line withot.t delay. Our fide 1 , llowed their example, with the intention of at tacking the enemy's flag (hip. Onr 114 Raphail was the headman in our line, and when beating down upon the enemy, it was obferved that the Turks opened their fire at a very great dillance. Our (hip I(aphail, on the contrary, being ordered to at tack the enemy's flag (hip, retained her fire till fhe was within a very fmall diltance from her opponent ; but on account of receiving fo much damage in her fails, as not to be able to bear up against the wind, fhe was driven into the enemy': line. At the fame time Vice Admiral GI eig was ordered by Admiral Sinia vin to attack the enemy's van, confining of one (hip of the line and two large frigates. Thefe frigates being loon difabled, and obliged to retire, the Ra phail broke through the enemy's line, when fhe was fired upon by feveral of their (hips ef war ; and Vice Admiral Siniavin, who bore dow n to fupport the Raphail, was in a [hart time rendered unable to con. tinue the conflift. " A calm fucceeding immediately after, as it was impoliGble for the (hips to manceuvre, they became to Far feparated from the enemy's fquadrnn, as to give t h e m on opportunity of repairing their damages.— As foon as the wind began to blow a little frefh, Admiral Siniavin made the fignal for purfuing tome of the enemy's !hips of the hoe, and two fligues that were a confiderable way behind the reft of the fquadron. _ _ " In the following night the (hip of the Capitanl Bey, which was damaged mote than the reft, was taken, with Beckzr Bey, and 774 men on board. This veld carries 8o piece.; of brafs cannon, and is in every refpeCc a very fine (hip._ " on the following day, Vice Admiral Greig, with three (Lips, was ordcted in purfuit of an enemy's (hip of the line and two frigates, that were difcove►ed be. tween Vault) and the promontory of Ails. When the Turks found it imprAffible to efcape, they run their (hips agrouud, and, after getting the people on fhore, fet fire to the treifels. u Our three (hips having returned to the fquadroa Admiral Siniavin loft no time in proceeding to the ifland of Tenedos, with the view of affording the gar rifon the neeeffaiy affiftance. 46 During the pottage to Tenedos, on the 22d, a fmoke was obferved near the Wand of Tulin, where the Turkish fleet had been defeated, and foine firing heard'; and upon our arrival at l'enedos, we learned that it arefe from the burning of one of the enemy', (hips and a frigate, which had been confiderably da maged during the aEtion. u The iefult of this 101 l anion has been the lois of three Turkilh (hips of the line and three frigates. " On the 26th, after Admiral Siniavin had taken proper meafures for invefling the ifland on all fides, and for cutting r,ff all communication between the ene my and the Continent, wishing to fpare the effulion of blood, he fent a propofal to the Commandant of the Turkifh troops upon the nand to evacuate it, and offering them a free pottage to the coati of Alia. In confequencei of this offer, on the 271 h, the Turki(h Commandant fent an Officer to annout:ce his accep. tance of this propofal ; and in order to relieve the garrifon as foon as pollible from the blockade it was under, the Tut kith army, confi.ling of 4.630 men, was tranfported over to the Afiatic coall on the 28th. " Admiral Siniavin bellows very high encomiums upon the valour of Admiral Grcig ; tlae Capt.,ins of the rank of Poll, Malagew, Scaltedg, and Krowwe ; the Captain of the fecund rank, ittitchtochew ; and Colonel Padte fki, the Commandant of the gat rifon of Tenedns. 6 , In thefe engagements we have ioff t 32 privates, three fuperior Officers, the Captains Tgne:gew, Lu• kin, &c. Among the wounded, 17 Officers of the Staff, and 392 privates. On the part of the enemy, in the (hips that were taken there were 230 killed and 160 wounded ; from whence we may infer, that their whole lots muit have been conliderable. Of the Turkilh troops that landed at Tenedos, in the various attempts upon that ifland, and during the blockade, which lifted ten days, the Ids fuftained was about soot) men. BERLIN, SEPT.I4. We are (till ignorant of the time of his Majelly's return to his capital. It is-probable, however, that he will rot leave Memel till the whole of his States are evacuated by the French troops.—ln order to accelerate that event, we have been affured that orders have been taken to p4y within the time flipn lated by the Convention, all the contributions which continue in at rear, and part in gnod bills of exchange.

Long Ann. 179 t6f Conf. fcr ace. 611 liamburgh papers to the Bth init. have arrived. They contain the Ruffian accounts of the aftions that were fought between their fleet and that of the Turks. They are confufed and verbofe—and the aelions feem to have been lefs decifive in their refult, than former accounts led us to believe. Thefe papers contain letters from BrutTels and Dunkirk, announcing the renewal of preparations along the French coaft for the invafion of this coon uy. We are not of the number that laugh at every threat of the enemy, and therefore cannot but recom mati an early adoption of vigorous meafures for re fitting any attempt the enemy may make. The dill alters that have befallen the Continent, fince the laff threat of invafion, will, we have no doubt, infure to our firietures on this fubjeil, a greater (hare of at tention than many were then inclined to believe they merited. Had our fuggeflion been ailed upon, Britain would at this moment have been all AIMED NATION, and in an attitude to contemn not only the threats of France, but the united efforts of the world to defiroy our country. To this fubjeit we have devoted another column of this day's STA'. The fafety of our common country ought to be, and with every true patriot will be, the firft object of folicitude. Thofe who cannot fee the danger to which we are eroded, are infatuated; and, thonid fuch be the prevailing difpofition, our cafe is paft . all remedy. - Some letters from DantzTc and Koningfberg reached town yefterday. They mention that the French troops bad quitted the neighbourhood of - tbefe cities, the contributions having been either dif charged, orfatisfaitory fecurity for the payment given. Prullia, however, is not yet releafed from their vifi tarion. They have only changed quarters, and re moved to Elbing, where, it would appear, they mean to enablifh thernfelves for the winter. All the public buildings and warehoufes in that city are converting into barracks for their reception ; and there, it is fup pored, they will remain, menacing the Baltic, and controuling Prullia, until tome new changes in the political afpeit of the Continent take place. Accounts, we underhand, have been received from Heligoland, that the French of Friedhurg, and other places, have put every boat and fithing vele! in requifition, for the purpofe of conveying troops to Zealand. M. de LINDHOLM, Aid-de-Camp to the CROWN PRINCE, who was fent to Paris on a fpecial *million, had returned to Holflein.
