May and tlie loth of . fume, between tine tu,stati and .Squacfrons, together , with an account of the attempt. •of the . Turlis to dislodge a detaiitiment •of our tr9,pp.s from _the Fort and the 4taand of Tenetlos • • VII lar s /lU UI 1,14,1 y, Vigil,. .LtIrIMJES vs .4., Line, six Frigates and smaller , Vesels, with about 60 'Gun-Boats,.pagsed the Straits of the Darchmelles and steered towards Tenedos. Admiral SI for several reasons, got under sail with his Squadron, consisting of 0 Ship's of the Line; and steered his course towards the island of Ytnbro. The Turks, wishing to avail 'themselves of his Absence for land, log their Troops upon the ;sland of Tenedcs, made two attempts for this purpose on the Bth; when they were repulsed with great loss.,by a division of our Troops from the fortress, under the command of Major GEDgOIIOW 'i:sp(coorse , tbey did not attempt to land a third time, but steered over to the coast of Natolia, and concealed themselves in the creeks. On account of contrary winds, and a strong cur rent, we could not make any attack on the Turkish Fleet on the Bth or 9th ; but on the loth, at two in the afternoon, the wind being favourable, an attack was determined upon. However, our Ships were scarcely got under weigh, when the Turks also weighed anchor, and attempted to gain the Darda nelles under full sail. Our Ships pursued them to t ho mouth of the Strait's, and cannonaded them two hours during their passage. The Enemy's Ships were so precipitate in their flight, that three of them were stranded between the. batteries and the promontory of Asia ; most of them were consider ably damaged in their hulls, and., had a number of killed:• . , , . " The Turks, having received,a reinforcement . of Ships of War. and Frigates from Constantinople; made their .appearance again on the other-side of the -Dardanelles, on' the 'loth of June. They had now 'Ships'of the Line, 'Six Frigates,' and five smaller Vessels : among the former were three 'Flag-Ships, one of them a three-decker, carrying the Captain. Pacha's'colours, and two other's with an Admiral' Flag. Near the Island 61 Ymbro, they cast anchor, and formed the litle of battle. In consequence of contrary winds .and currents, our Squadron could not apprbach them . daring three days ; but on the evening of the t 4th, we got under weigh with a favourable breeze. "On the 15th, being on the 9ther side of the Island'of Ymbro, and unperceived by. the Enemy, we learnt that they - had weighed anchor, and steer ad for Tenedos. At the same time a number of Boats, with Turkish TroapS on beard, made their appearance froM the coast of Asia,upon which the anssian Garrison of Teuedosimmediatety got under arms, and occupied the most important posts and `shores of the Idand 'When the Enemy's Ships came within half carmen-shot ofthe - tort, they were fired upon, not only by "the Fort; but the Stoops lying , in the harbour, upon which they made their - boats approaCh the northern side of the Island, and taere attempt a landing, but they were repulsed. " Next morning, at day;-break, the Turkish Fri gates%and- Gun-Boats opened . . their tire upon our works, and at the same time they caused a great . number Of Vessels, with troops on board, to ap proach the Island from the coast of Anatolia, To oppose this. landing, the 'Russian Commander : de 7 tached . 300 Men.; but before they could arrive at the place of destination, the Turks had succeeded in lauding too° men, under cover of their Frigates and Ship of the Line. 'The continual fire of grape and cartridge from these Vessels left the stall Russian detachinent no choke. as to , the propriety of ~re T iring. " The Enemy, well knowing the weakness of the Fort, flattered themselves with the hope of mak ing themselves masters of it with little or no diffi.: cult) , :accordingly, on the 17th, they again 'ap 'proached it with their whole Squadron, and one Ship of , the- Line and a Frigate kept up a cannonade a gainst it during three hours ; but when the Ene my observed that our Squadron approached Tenedos; they got a part of their troops on board, with th e utmost precipitation, and stood out to sea. " The wind havihg changed ,in th6' night of the i3th, our l Squadron was detained till the 17th, in its passage between the Island of Ymbro and the European coast ; but on the 17th, with the Noah wind in their favour, they bore up for Tenedos, and observing that the Enemy's small craft, with troops; were still upon the Coal, the Russian row-galleys were ordered to attack them. A part of them,were sunk by the galleys, and the rest dispersed. " As soon as the Fort had been supplied with ne cessaries, and dispositions made for preventing 'the approach ,of the Enemy's Vessels, the Frigate Venus and the . .Spitzbergen Sloop were left to 'Kowa the coast. On the i th, the Russian Fleet was again under.sail, steering then' coutse for Lemnos, where' they hoped to find the Turks. On the lgth:at 14, bleak, they descried, as they expeeled, to Ships of the line, five Frigates, and an equal number of small Vessels. The Turks ibrmed their Line without de lay. __Our side followed their example, with the in tention of attacking the Enemy's, Flag Ship. Our Ship Raphni/ was the headmost of our Line, and when bearing down upon the Enetny, it was 'observ ed that the Turks lened their lipe at a very great% Lunla ,Ftig volt/ astariflAilr, VII %Villa al y, LiGlllO ordered to attack the Enemy's Flag-Ship, retained her fire till she was within, a very, small distance from' her opponent ; but on account of receiving so much damage in her Sail's, as not to be able to bear up against the wind, she was driven into the enemy's line! At the same time \ripe-Admiral GREIQ was ordered by Admiral SISIAVIW to attack the Enemy's Van, consisting of one Ship of the Line, and two large Frigates,.. The3e Frigates being soon. disabled, . and obliged to retire, the Raphail, broke through the Enemyts Line, when she was fired ppon by several. of their Shipi of War; and Vice-Admiral SINIAVIN,. who bore down to support the Re . ',hail; was in a shirt' time rendered unable to continue the conflia, 9' A calm succeed;ng immediately after, as it .was impossible for the Ships to manceuy re, and they became so far separated from the Enemy's Squadroit„ as . .te givi them an opportunity of repairing their da mages. As soon as the wind began to blow a little fresh, Admiral SpiIAVINT made the signal for pur suing some .of the Enemy's Ships of the Line and .two Frigates that were a 'considerable way behind the rest of the squadron. In the following ni§ht,,the Ship of the Capitan Bey, which was damaged more than the rest, was taken, with Becker Bey, and .774.:men on board. This - vessel carries 80 pieces of brass caution, and is in every' respeet a very fine Ship. " On the following. day, Vice-Admiral wills three Ships, was ordered' in pursuit of an Eneniy's' Ship of tbe.Line, a9d two Frigates, that were discovered between Famo and. the promon 'tory of Asia. When the Turks.. found it was im possible to escape, they run their Ships agtound; and,. after getting the people'on shore, set fire to the Vessels.- • " Our three Ships having returned to the Squa dron, AdmiraI.SINLAVIN lost no time in , proceeding to the Island of Tenedos, with the view of afford ing the garrison the necessary assistance. "Durinathe Passage to, Tenedos, on the 5.lRd, a a smoke was Observed near the Island of. Tasso, where the Turkish Fleet had been defeated, and some firing heard ; and, t.lpon ant arrival' at Tene-, dos, we learned. that it arose from the burning of one of the Enemy's Ships and a Frigate, which had been Considerably damaged during the Lion. " The result of this last a&iou has been' the , loss of three Turkish Ships of the Line and three Frigates. ‘• On the .16th, after Admiral StNikvirt had taken proper measures for investing the Island. on all sides, and for cutting otf all cointnuniefitiO;), be tween the Enemy and the Continent, wishing to spare the effusion of blood, he sent a 'proposal to the Cormnanciant of the Turkish troops upon the island to evacuate it, and offering them a free passage to the coast of Asia. In conseqUenee of this offer ,on the27th . the Turkish Commandant sent an Officer t 4 announce his acceptance of this proposal l; and in, order to relieve the garrison , as; soon as possible frorn'the blockade it:was tinder, the Turkish Army, Consisting of' 4,600 men, was transported over to 'the Asiatic coast on the 28th. "Admiral SINIAVIN bestows very high encomium's Upon the valour of Admiral Gaitto ; .the Captains of the rank of Post, MALAGEW, HALTED°, and KROWWE th 6 Captain of the second • rank, RIECHTOC HEW ; and Colonel NDEISKI, the Com mandant of the Garrison of Tenedos. ," In these engagements ,we have .lost 13(.1. Pri vates, three superior Otfieers o the Captains IGNET- Guw, &c. Among the wounded. 17 Offi cers. of the Staff, and`392.privates. On the part of the Enemy, in the Ships that were taken, were 230 killed and t6O wounded ; from whence we may infer, that their whole loss , must be considerahle.--. Of the. Turkish troops that landed at Tenedos, in the various attempts upon the Island, and during the blockade, which, lasted ten days, the loss sustained' was about' 1000 men." MAILS.

QUIS DICFRE 1 ILSUM AUDEAT ? LONDON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER .2.3, 1807. S6l E Hamburgh Papers to the Bth inst. have reach. ed town, but they contain very little intelligence of importance. They state, however, that very naive preparations are making upon the French Coast for the Invasion of this Country ; the object of which is probably to hasten the departure of our Troops from Zealand. There are no accounts in these Papers of the pro gress of the French, Troops in Holstein, - but an im mense number of lio3ts, it is said, are colleding for the I mrpote of transporting the French Troops over into Zolllnd, This stateinent is 'probably made Witil LUC SfIAC V lOW ab 1110 ICJILIJUL ,to produce much more effete. If the winter be mild enough to, enable the French to make use of Sots, it certainly will permit us to make use of Ships.-- Indeed;No.,,convinced are the French of this, that the Moniteur fairly, ,admitted that the only hope of -driving us out : of Zealand was founded upon a 140 .frost. The report of a misunderstandingbetween Lad GRENVIDLE and Lord Howtcx gains ground,' but . , • the Opposition Writers are quite incensed at the in tithation of such .on event, which'they : confidenily deny; Vor our part we do not expect bear of any violent rapture between these I\l'oble Lords; beano we do not think tharthey ever could have had any cordial connexion.' I,drd GRENVILLE was brought up in the true 'principles of the Constitutidu, and When the imagination of certain politicians,. who 'denominated themselves Whigs, Without bat', ing any real pretensions to the name, were heat ed by the events of the French Revolution, and foresaw what they considered as the dawn • of a more enlightened system of Government, he'kept hismind free from the baneful cotitagione- - Te unfOrtunate course of events, and the military system which has resulted from it, and roined,s9 - many Continental States, have fully justified his Lordship's opinions at that period., It does not apt Pear that LbraliOwtcF is at al; altered in his polit tical notionS, an therefore it is not Wonderful that the former Nobleman .and be have at length dis,:;e vered, that however they might apparently agree' Upon one or two'i)oints, they„ is a wide dittereae9 in their general views and principro3. : Iv a ll that eve have said respecting what is called the right of search, as applied to neutral Ships 9. ,1 Wur, we.have spoken of it as we conceived It to he intended by its strenuous advocates, as.a right to lie freely exercised by otte Power towards another, in ct giving the latter any just ygsiercolsttu:nrddfao3?ctcliorinen'tp:lea"irinteld7Atr,ittn‘icrmiisi R i K i t ti L t c t o h n a i t' ll t a ;•76 , We endeavoureil, to show that the transaalion with :the Chesapeake - coUld not lie 'considered as a Mere exercise of ordinary ju s stice., But it by no mentß follows, and to this we beg to call. particular attention, that the condtla of Great. Britain is to be condemned as contrary to the Law of I\Ta tions.. The utmost that is provod is this ;—that we have committed such an as of partial hostilitli t as the Attiericans would be justified . in regarding 0 a Declaration of War. These measures of partial -hostility, adopted by way of security, 'argil means uncommon in the modern history of Europe. We had,a right to consider the American Govern-: meat, in enlisting and .retaining our Statnen,. aftet. repeated remonstrances from us, • as an aftOf hoSti.! lity to.+-arcis us.

This is the true justification of the t oncluol of the Admiral, and ukon, this ground : we certainly agree. with those who maintain that the part' of Achostle BERKELEv's order which was to irilke the search reciprocal, ought to have been omitted.
