" Off Prime's lead, on hoard Ids Wiefty's ffdp the ROYAL GEORGE, Feb. so, 1807. Nutw•irhfthnding the fincere and reiterated ef forts of the underfigned to prevent hoßilitier, no car refpOnding difpofition has been manitefted on the part of the Sublime Porte. " The Porte has not returned any anfwer to the reprefentations which the underfigned has made by order of his Government. in the conference that he had with the Ottoman Mini(ler on de 25th of Ja nuary. Not even the leaft attention has been paid to the reprefentations, though for the fake of the Rrifteft accuracy, and in conformity with the re 'Tien of the Reis Effendi, they had ,been delivered in writing, in a letter addreffed to this Mini(ter on the 26th of the fridmonth. The underfigned, indeed, received, tome time after, a N to from the Sublime Porte, but it did not contain a tingle trait by means of which one might judge with certainty of the fentiments of the Sultan, relative to the circumilances which had given birth to the late difctaions between the underfigned and the Miniliers of his Highnefs. " In fait, fo little zeal has been (hewn to preferve the amity of his Britannic Majelly, that it was in vain that the underfigned made repeated attempts to enter into a negneiation with the Captain Pacha, though in the propofitious made by him; the underligned took upon himfelf to awed his inlimaions. The Captain Pacha was evidently inclined to accede to the pacific propofals of the nnderfigned, but the orders of his Sovereign were not of a nature to afford any hope tht: objea moll defirable, the prefervation of peace, wuuld be effdled. It only remains, therefore, for the under figned to declare once snore to his Highnefs the Captain Pacha, that the &kith fleet would avail itfelf of the fir fl favourable wind to proceed towards Conilanti nople—fuch being the orders that the Admiral has received from his Government. But being conflantly determined to (pare no effort on his part to prevent hollilities, the under figned a lfured the Captain Pacha that. notwithaanding the menace of difputing the palfage, not one Englifh veffel fhould fire a (hot till they had reiterated proofs of the hoflile inclination• of the Tusks—and he further promifed, that on his arrival before Confiantinople, he would leave no rea. fon to doubt that the pet manent objeet of his Sove reign was to defend the Ottoman Empire in lieu of attacking it. " The wind having changed on the [soh, the Eng lifh Admiral w rs upon the point of executing the duty enjoined to him, when he WAS fent to there feas. In palling the firll batteries, each of his Majefty's vctrels had to fullain the moll terrible fire—but they carried their moderation fo far as not to return a tingle fhot. 44 It was not until tome time after that the A. miral feeing Englith blood fpilled, had recourfe to the means of necelTary defence. • The refult ibknown, and the arrival of the fleet in it prefent flation, with out the !call damage to any of.the (hips, ought .o be taken as a convincing proof, that when orders have been once given to Br itith Officers, there are nc dif ficulties, no danger, than can retard their execution a tingle moment. • Hoflilities having beet thus commenced by the Sublime Porte againtt the naval force, of hii Brim) nic Majefly, the underfigned was at liberty to pat an altual period to his iniffion, and to fignify to the Commandant in Chief, that from that moment he was at full liberty to profecute the war. • However, the under figned will Hill give onemore flaking example of the moderation and the defire which his Sovereign would feel to the tall to be in a fituation to confider the Sultan as a friend, and no longer as an enemy. The Sublime . Porte is already informed of the conditions upon which the continuation of friendlhip with Great Britain depends. It will therefore be un neceffary to repeat here what has been amply detailed already ; but the underfigned will not content himfelf with limply declaring that the Ottoman Government is again invited to make its choice, to decide in a word, whether this Empire (hall henceforward be joined with France, or whether the engagements with his Britannic Majefly, and his augufl ally the Empe ror of Rah, are to be renewed. a The onderfigned has every poi3ible motive for defning that the Sublime Poste Ihould renew theft engagements. Great Britain has always had a par ticular predilation for the Ottoman Empi4v ; thefe two Powers have fought together, and with fuccefs, againll the prefent ally of the Sublime Porte, at a time when this ally had Vied with.* degree of perfidy which excited but one fentiment through the whole extent of the Ottoman Empire ; and the diflinguith ei, though ill-applied bravery, which the Turks have recently exhibited in their fruitlefs attempt to oppofe the progrefs of the Britifh fleet, will prove to every Englifliman an additional caule for regretting the failure of the negociation, propofed by the-under figned. " But it cannot be too clearly expreffed, that there is not a moment to lofe. To accumulate proofs of the pacific difpofition of his Britannic Majefly, and thole to whom the execution of his orders are entrulled, the Admiral need not urge that he has not availed himfelf of the advantage afforded him by the wind continuing favourable, and that he has con rented to remain with his fleet at a difiancefrom the Capital, during, the time neceffary for receiving an anfwer to the underfigned. In cafe this arrfwer fhould arrive to-morrow be-. fore runlet, and that it contains firfficient and une quivocal affurances that the jug and moderate de mends of his Britannic Majelly are granted, all hof. tile demonflrations on the part of the Btitifb fleet (hail immediately ceafe. But if the anf•ver (ball be diElated upon other principles, *the underfigned will have-to declare with regret, that his million is ter minated, and that the Britifh Admiral will conform himfelf to the orders which his" Government has en tru fted him with the execution of in the event of a war. 44 Requefling the Sublime Porte to accept the affurance of his moll diltinguifbed confederation, the under figned reiterates his atoll ardent wilbes, that it may yet have the wifdom to regain the amity of the two powers. whole generous efforts have been lo often •empl y• in its favour with faced's.

Sir John Thomas Duckworth, Vice Admiral ofj the White, and Krigbt of the Blith, knowing ;fiat according to ars ankle in the triple alliance, the Sub. lime Porte is engaged to grant the free paffage of the Dardanelles to the (hips of war of Ns Sovereign; and M. Atbuthnot, his Majedy's Ambaffador, having informed him that the Sublime Porte, from partied- lar eircurnliances, had conflantly exoreffed its defire that this treaty timid be proceeded in, and that it Mould be happy in feeing the moment arrive, when they might be able to enter upon it without any in convenience; had given the flrongeft affuranees, that all the conditions of the Paid treaty fhould, in the mean while, be looked upon as remaining in full forte. In this Rate of affairs it is impotilible for the Vice- Admiral to exprefs the extent of his chagrin when he faw himfelf attacked the day before yetterday, in a hollile manner by the nuterrndi cables of the Sublime i Porte, when he was performing the duty impofed upon him, of pairing the Dardanelles. " But though his Majetly's veffels had been (truck by the (hot, and Mme of his fuhk.cis loft their lives, tbe Vice Admiral, to give a proof of his pacific feAti• meats, defined from filing upon the CAI" of the. Sublime Porte ; but he felt 4 at the fame time, that . if he experienced the faineliollile difpofition from the other caales and ba!terieultis duty would then oblige him to repel force by forte. " It was with pain that he law himfelf c , impelled to have recourfe to Allis difagreeable duty. But if ;tic-Sublime Porte bad not ma.le rife of other means of refinance; the Vice Admiral would Rill have flattered ininfelf that what had triken place was the effee of .f.,me milundernand,ing, lift confequence of infufficient explanation on each fide. " But this idea very Gino vanifired ; for after hay. iug palled the two cafiles t ikbydos" and Sans, he found a 11044 h-on belongijsg to the Sublime Porte, formed in line of battle, and which began to fire upon his Majeny's lquadron as fonn as they strived with in cannon flint. " The French flag being hoifled upon the cattle nF Abydns, the detertninotion taken by the Sublime Porte to throw Hell - into the arms of France, could no longer be doubted, norwithflanding the perfidy of that natiGn ; of which the Sublime Porte had experi enced enough in Egypt. Thc.Vice Admiral then law liiinfelf under the neceflity of &Jiro) irg thole notst ithtlanding the inflittairms he had recei-..,0 from his Sovereign to afford the I'or;e, to the lafl moment, proofX of his amity and unwearied patience. " After having wirneffed a change fa aVolnte ia the difpoliiions of the Sublime Porte, and his Majef. ty's Ambalfador having afterwards fruitlefsly exliauf ted all the means of pacification, the Vice Admiral finds himtelf under the nectility of &dating to the Sublime P. that having it in his pgmer to defiroy the , capital, and all the lutkifb veil - els, the plan of operations %chic% his duty prcfcribes to him, is, in confequence, very clearly milled out. But con ' winced that the pia -and humane lifpcfr.i.,n of his Sovereign induces him to punifb the guilty only ;-- ' petfustded at the fame time that the Sultan and his people are very far from willing to gi to war with Great Britain ; and that of cootie the prefent mea tuses can only have been eccationed by the bafenefs and the intrigues of the French with tome of the ad vifers of hii Highnefs,'the Vice Admiral will feel the utmott reluetance to render to many perfons completer* miferiable by the horrors of war, and the deltruetion of all the obitets of their attachment and enjoyment. "To avoid fatal a cataflrophe, the following is the condition he propofes—' The Sublime Porte (ball deliver up its (hips and veifels of war, with means raki,:Kit for their equipment ; • and the Vice Admiral will, in this cafe, engage not to mole( the city, but to withdraw immediately, beyond the Dardanelles.' " The Vice Admiral grants the Sublime Porte half an hour after Ili.; tranflation of this note into the Turkifh language, to determine upon this propofal, protelling that if he is resift• d to the difagreeable necefEty of feizing the Tor kith (hips of war by force, and to commence the work of delltuelinn which he has the means to accomplifb, it will be the fault of the Sublime Porte, and not that of the King his Matter.
