The latest accounts from the thcatr;
of war seem to announce great events
It is reported that the right wing of tin
1 tench army, under Marshal Masscna
has made a movement upon the left o
the Russians. II this be true, a deci
sive action appears inevitable. The a
Firm excited by these movements art
♦compensated by new hopes of peace,
All the letters from the theatre of wai

made ; and it is kriowm that the nego

Government have received informa
[ tior. from our squadron near Constantly
uoplc. They had forced the passage,
; of the Dardadelles, destroying, accord-j
ing to report, ten Turkish ships of the'
. line. When approaching Constant’!-'
(! nople, they offered terms to the Turks^
fj which were accepted. It was agreed,
' that the English should retain posses-,
I sion of the Dardanelles till a general
jpeace—and that Russia should keep!
! possession of certain Turkish fortress
es.—The French Minister was ordered
from Constantinople in 24 hours. j
i Peace between England, Russia, mid
Turkey.
We/Courier) had the satisfaction to
announce, yesterday, the glorious in
telligence received the Dardanelles—
Government have not vet received the
4
official dispatches from Sir John Duck
worth or Mr. Arbuthnot: but they are
in possession of other advices to which,
wt» understood, they attach implicit
credit—Indeed the Dutch Papers to the
6th, which have arrived, render the in
telligence-very probable. The Vienna
Court Gazette of the 21st of March,
contains the following paragraph ;
* Admiral Louis’s squadron, bruis
ing off Tenedos,was reinforced between
the 15th and 18th of February, br four
three-deckers, several frigates and cor
vettes ; and on the 21st the English
tuicecUhe seven t orts winch nrotect
A
the passage of the Dardanelles, burnt a !
ship of the line, and also destroyed
soma Turkish frigates in the channel.
In consequence, fresh negociations and
proposals for accommodation took
place, and were continued when the ,
latest accounts came away **
Tiie intelligence which Government
has received is more particular, ns well
as more recent. Admiral Louis re- <
mained off '1 enedos, cruioing between
that island and the island of Lemnos, <
till he was joined by Sir J. Duckworth
—they then forced the passage of the
Dardanelles amidst a tremendous fire,
which however, did little damage to our
ships. The fire from the Old Custle
on the north side of the Strait, is said
to have been for a short time peculiarly 1
heavy, but it was soon silenced by the )
British founder, and the fort is said to J
have been reduced almost to a hcnp'of 1
mins. The Turkish squadron oppos- j
ed an unavailing resistance. It is said I
taat the number of ships'taken or de
stroyed was much greater than the Vi
1 ennu Gazette states—the number is re
ported to have been ten sail of the line,
i The vigor of our proceeding in con
junction with the Russian squadron,
! spread universal consternation and dis
i may. Proceeding through the Dar
' daneil into the sea of Memora, we-pre
| pared to carry .tir force before Con
| stantinople, but before any thing was
I attempted against that city, a messen
‘ ger -uis sent off to the Dirun offering
j terms of fceacc. The Divan, fcftcr a
I short consultation, acceeded to them,,
and the following i* tbe substance of
the conditions we dictated in concert
with our Allies to the Porte.
44 That the English Should retain
possession of the Dardanelles till a gen
■ j eral peace.
i| 44 f hat Russia should also keep pos
j session of certain of the Turkish for
J tresses tiil a general peace, as a securi
ty for the fidelity of the D*orte.”

By this time Mrs. Burrow began to rccov-1
