CORRESPONDENCE WI THE POSTE.

" Off Prince's island, on board His Majesty's ship
the R,ysl Geo ge, Feb. 21, 1607.
" Notwithstanding the tencere and rrrrerated cff.rti of the
141"de:signed to prevent hostilit,s, no cruse.ponilare devolution
has teen manifested on the'part of the Sublime Porte.
"'Fite Porte has nut returned any answer to the representa-
tions which the Undersigned ha. made by order of hi. Govern
merit, in the conference that he had with the Ottoman Minn.
ter on the Ihth of January.—Nut *Tell the liaot attention has
been paid to the representations, though for the bake of the
snidest accuracy, and in conformity with the request of the
Reis E.Sendi, they had beets delivered in writing, in a letter
addraseed to this Minister on the 26th of the said month.
" The Undersigned, indeed, received, some time atter, a
Note from the Sublittle Poets ; but It did not COntAlil a singer
trait Ey means at whichrene might judge with certainty of the
sentiments of the Sis:tati, relative to the circumstance which
had given birth to the late 6imussinns, between the Under-
signed .and thhe Miitisiters el he Mishima.
" Inet, little EMI has 111,11111 IMMO to penile! Ow amity
of His Britannic Majesty, that it was ia rain that the Under-
srgned made repeated attempts Monter into a negociatio., with
the Captain Paella, though in the preproitiens node by him,
the Undersigned took mem himself to exceed bi. inellnletsse.
The Captain PaCha COG ev.dently helloed su acted* to the
pacific proposals of the Undersigned, but the order. 4 his So.
veneers were not ora native to affnd any hole that the 1114JeCt
meet desirable, the preservation of peace, would be effected.
" it only remains, therefore, fur the Undersigned to declare
once more m his firghnew the Captain. P-clia, that the Br.ti.h
fleet would avail itself of the first favour.ble *hid to ;noes d
towards Constantinople; ouch being the orders that the Kiini•
ral has received from his Government. But boner cniutantly

arrival before Constantinople, he would leave unreason to doubt
that the permanent object of his Sovereign via to defet.d the
Ottoman Empire, in Leo of attacking It.
" The wind having changed on the 19th, the rnglieh Ad .
miral was upon the point of executing the cut, enjoined in
biro when be was sent to thloe yeas. U. passing the Psi
batteries, each of His Nlajoty's exacts bad to imitate the
most terrible nre; but tti.:y earned their moderation so far as
not to return a single shot. It was not until some tins• after,
that the Admiral,seeing English blood spilled, had revs ruse
to the means of necessary defence. The result is known and
the arrival of the fleet in its resent station, without the least
damage to any of the ships, ought to be taken as a atheist king
proof, that when orders have been once given to It h
cars, these are no diffec.dties, no dangers, that ran 'Mead their
execution a single moment.
" Hostilities having been thus carameneed by the Sublime
Porte against the nasal forces of His Britannic bulaimilly, the
Undersigned was et liberty to put an eilitol perm* ro Iry 's. a.
lion, and to signify to the Commandant in ablift that from
that moment he was at full I betty to prosecute the war.
" However, the Undersigned will still give stir moor stroking
example of the moderation and the desire which h.s Stsverel
would feel to the last to br in a situation to consider tale Seib
tan as • friend, and not elan enemy.
" The Su:slime rote is &hooey risfrrrined of the eon lition/

has been ani, ly &stalled aimed) ; het the Glad.rsia.ied will ant

'" The Underaivied has 'vety possible motive fer desiring
that the Suiblime Porte should reoew their engageniants
GRAS Britain hes always had a partical piertilco.on for teio

ill-applied bravery, which elas Twit. have recently exhibiord

" Yet it cannot be too clearly expressed, that there is not
a moirtent to lase To accumulate prints of the paci'ic dispo-
sition of Hia Britannic Majesty, and thnie to whom the eke.

dietaud upon other principles, the Undersigned will bare to de
elate with regret, that his mission is terminated, and that the
British Admiral will conform himself to the orders which his
Government dons entrusted him with the exeso:.ou of in the
event.ol war.
" Krepsesting the Sublime Porte to accept the assurance: of
his most distioguyihed consideration,the Undersigised reiterates
his mow ardent wishes, that it ni:iy yet have the "'Moot to re.
