The combined ll:et'wes ravened in the ordet of sailing in two eetuttans, the British and French forming the weather or starboard line, and the Russian the lee line. The Asia led in, followed by the Genoa and Albion, and anchored dose-alongside a ship of the line, beating the nag of the'Capitana Bey, another ship cf the line, end a large double banked frigate, each thus having their proper opponent in the feint line of the Turkish Beet. The four ships to windward, partof the Egyptian squadron, were allotted to the squadron of Rear Ad miral de Rigoy ; and those to leeward, in the bight of the =scent, were to mark the stations of the Whole Russian squadron, the ships of their lice closing those of the Eoglish hue, and being followed up be their own frigates. The **tench frigate Aristide was ditected to place herself alongside the outermost frigate, on the left hand entering the hatboor ; and the Cambrian. Glasgow, and Talbot text to her, and abreast of the Asia, Genoa, and Albion; the Dartmouth and tbel Mosquito, the Rose, the Brisk, and the Philonwl were to look after six fireseessels at the entrance lef the bar boar. I gave orders that no gun should be fisod o unless' pas were first fited by, the Turks; and these orders were strictly observed.. The three English ships were accordingly pet mined to pass the batteries and to ;noon as they did with great rapidity, without aay act, of open! hostility, *kismet there was evident preparation far it in all the Tribal% snips; not, sport the Dartmouth send ing a boat to one of the fire vessels, Lieutenant G.

In the mean time. however, our excellent pilot, Mr. Peter Mitchell, who wept to interpret to Maharani my desire to avoid bloodshed, was killed by his people in oar boat alongside. Whether with or without his or lees. I 'know not ; but his ship soon afterwards fired into the Asia. and was coaseqacritly ettecteally destroyed by the Asia's Are, sharing the same fate as his brother Admiral oa the starboard side, and falling to leeward a mete wreck.
