THE FRENCH ANlj ENGLISH
FLEEI":,

eESIKA BAY, SEPT. 12.
I write to you from corner of my little wooden
house in the new torin of Besika Bay, the ancient
Alexandra Troces. Besika Bay is the name of the
roads where the French and English squadrons are at
anchor. Were I poet or a romancer I should send
you a pompou.s acoount of our little town—how we
tread under foot the bones of Homer's heroes, and how
our woode,a 'houses. are erected on the very spot where stood fo,:trierly the tents of Agamemnon's
soldiers when
they vent to revenge, under the walls of Illion, the in-
sult of Menelaus ; how, within twelve leagues from
hence, Xerxes led his countless myriads across the
Hellespont, to lose them on the plains of Marathon
and Platea.
But in plain homely language let me inform you that
about 400 of us have thought fit to make up an extem-
pore town on the barren beach of Besika Bay. Our
little town is divided into two distinct quarters, French
and English. Tlie French camp is badly placed in the
neighbourhood of an unwholesome marsh, the mephitic
emanations fr.om which have already spread all sorts of
diseases. he English camp is in a much more healthy
spot, but, is rather too far from the sea, for which
reason 'We are going to move it. We have cleared
the neighbouring villages of all their poultry, and
intteed eateables of every description. It will be long
ere they forget their hungry visitors from the West.
We get grapes from Tenedos, and every thing else from
Smyrna.

We are not aware how much longer we are likely to
remain here, but we must be of within thirty or forty
dlys, for the bad season will soon let loose the violent
south and southwesterly winds, which will render the
roads no safe anchorage. And, however great may he
the exigencies of policy, they must bow before the stern
will of nature. Ourlac, or the Smyrna roads, will then
become the refuge for our floating citadels. But do not
think that our crews remain in idleness. The French
squadron sometimes gets under way, and remains at
sea for two days, which, perhaps, gave rise to the report
that Admiral Lalande had left Admiral Stopford. The
crews also arc daily exercised in gunnery and naval
tactics.

The crews on board the flnets are in a healthy state.
I send you the list of the respective fleets, which, as
I said before, will probably winter at Smyrna, or the
Isles of Ourlac.
