AU the notes sent, as well by the Ambassador
Arbuthnot, as by the Vice-Admiral, while the ene-
my's deer was before Constantinople, discover the
notable check which the English have received, and
confim the good opinion entertained of the Porte,
and of the Mussulman nation.
Vice-Admiral Duckworth commenced with burn-
ing a ship and five frigates, and massacring the
crews that remained on board. He arrived before
Constantinople, and the first arms which he ens.
ployed, were menaces of every kind ; but as soon as
he began to find that they did not frighten the
Porte, he changed his tone, desisted from a part of
his pretension:And finished with finding himself very
happy in being able to repass the Streight.
lli conduct of the Porte has been energetic and
wise. Scarcely recovered from the astonishment
excited by such a sudden and unexpected attack, it
fortifi-d all the 'fibre, and as soon as the Seraglio,
and the coasts of Europe ano Asia, were sufficiently
furnished with cannon, it reinforced all the batteries
of the Streight. As soon as it conceived that all
these measures were sufficient (or its defence, it.
immediately assumed a tone becoming a great paw.
et. Is threatened in its turn, at,cl the English fleet
I,ained the passage of the Dardanelles, and shame•
fatty fled. The following details are given by a
French officer who was in one of the batteries in the
Straight :

PITZISICRI3. res. 17.

The Emperor has establist.ed a Cninmiree r‘f.
Safety, competed of the Ministers of Justice, of
War, and of the Interior, and two Senators. Ili'
Committee is to tty all disturn:rs pantie tran-
quillity, and accuse Al those who carry on a crimi-
nal coirespondeirce with the enemy.
The number of arrests is increasing, and persons
of the first respe(ability are eased. The English
party persecutes all those who are adverse to the dat k
manccuvres which have iuvulved usjia this destruc-
tive war.
As to the correspondence with the enemy, this
pretence is ridiculous, and 'hews the spirit of per
cution. It is renewing Pitt and Cobourg with a
vengeance. Vs hat p:is.in can p sooty ix desirous
to correspond with Peter, • urgh. It is much to be
legit' ted that a Prince, like :rise Emperirr, Atexar•der,
should be weak enntio to suffer himself to be led
astrai in this Dianne!.
Tire affairs in Poland have tab., a tarn, and -u
armies in Turkey and eersia, are weakened 0 su
a degree, that they have al•ea.sei exptirenced 'metal
