LONDON,

TPESI:O4T, APRIL 14, 1307.

IVE .yesterday comTunicated to our Readers an
Account which had reached us from the Continent,
cif the cOmbined British and Russian Fleet having
ed the pardanellea;—weiare now happy to have
it in our poet• fully to confirm that Intelligence,
ay the foiloWing Official Bulletin, which was this
morning ,ircula.ted.through the Ptablic Offices ,

4cimiraity Office, April 14, 1807.

*Dispatches from Lord Cot.i. I G' Q 9 D, dated
.oft Cadiz, March ,9-8, received.this morning by hi 3
Majesty's Sloop Imoilen, arrived at Plymouth, con-
-tot .intelljgence that yice-Admjral Sir T. Dticx.-
CUTII, 'finding, on his arriVal at ~TepedOs,
that His Majesty's Ambassador had left Con-
r_antinople on tho of January, proceed-
ed vith the Squadron under his command, to
that f...;ity, passing'the Dardanelles against all-oppo-
soo i)0, the i§th
~of February. kips subse;
vent 'op.eratiop-s were not lEnown to his Lord-
kut from the Spider tke

afternoon of that day, and.the report of the inha-
bitant of Tetiedos, therein reason to believe. that
the Ttirkisli Marine is destroyed. • •

On the 14th of February His Majesty's Ship
A jay caught fire and was burnt; the non. Captain
BLACKWOOD, and about 400 Officers -and men,
were saved." •

The accounts which reached us from the Conti-
nent stated, that after Admiral DucKwoRTH had
forced the passage of the Dardanelles, and destroyed
the Turkish Fleet; he summoned Constantinople,
and that the Turks immediately subscribed to
the Cofiditions which were proposed, 'viz. " That
the British were to keep possession of the Forts
commanding the passage of the Dardanelles until a
General Peace; and• that the Russians were to be
put in pOssesSion of some of the Turkish fortresses,
till a
_General Peace, as a security for the fidelity
of the :Turks." Although - these accounts do
not come in an official way,' yet we have
no doubt of their truth. The most -essential
point, vii. the forcing the passage of the Darda-
nelles, is confirmed by the Dispatches received this,
morning. The other facts stated, viz. the Suhniit,sion
of the 'Turks, and the Peace with England ancl.RUssia,,
must have followed almost as matters of course, be-
cause when the Dardanelles were passed, the City of
Constantinople was entirely at the mercy of our Fleet.
It would be idle to comment at length upon, the ad-
vantages which must ensue to the Allies from this
event. The French Minister,' SEBASTIAN/, has left
Constantinople, and the French influence may be
considered as completely at an end. .A very large
portion of the Russian Army which was employed
against the Turks, will be set at liberty, and may
be opposed to the. French, either in Poland or Dal-
matia.

The Foreign Papers which we have received do
not contain any intelligence of importance from the
Armies in Poland. The rumours of a Negotiation
are still in circulation.

Ws have again to congratulate the Public on the
decision of last night in the House of Lords, on the
subjeet of the Marquis of STAPFORD'S Motion, rela-
tive to the cause of the removal of the late Ministry.
By that deciSion we have the satisfaeiiJn to,find, as
indeed we could not dotibt would be the case, that
there is an entire harmony of Sentiment between the

,:reditary Counsellors of the KING and the Repre=

sentatives of the People, upon a point of the most
essential importance. .

The_ Pririce Adolphus Packet, with the Jamaica
Mails of January, arrives at Barbadoes on the 16th
February froth Falmouth. On the 22d, His Majes-
ty's Ships Bellona and Bellisle, with 22 Sail :under
convoy, arrived there. Accounts were received at
Tortola on the 6th March, that four French Frigates
arrived • at. Guadak)upe on the 27th February, had
landed 700 troops, and were ordered to sail the fol-
lowing day.

COURT OF COMMON COVIICIL.—YeSterday, pur-
suant to notice given for that 'purpose at 4 former
Court, Mr. Deputy BIRCH propoied a Motion, that
an humble Address be presented' to his MAJESTY,
expressive of • their gratitude for the dignified and
decided support and prote6tion which his MAJESTY
had on a late occasion afforded to thb ,Protestant
Religion, as 'by law established, and for the firm and.
constitutional exercise of his Royal Prerogative, to
preserve the independen:e of hiS Crown. He was
seconded by Mr. S. DIxoN.

Mr. SLADE observed, that at this, arduous con-
juncture of public affAirs, it was.iuczumbent on us o
endeavour by every • means in per power to
_conci-
liate the good wishes of every fellow-:subject in the
Empire.. Under the ancienne regime of France,
Monsieur NECitER, a native 'of Geneva,, and a Pro-
testant, was the Minister of Finance; our brethren
in America had a Roman Catholic for their Chair-
man of Ways and Mean, and almost every per-
son throughout theciVilized world; except the Turk,
'and the lion. -MoVer of the. present
to Motion, were.
disposed to extend political tights persons of
every religious persuasion • he therefore moved the:
• previous cinestion, He was OVAlTe:irtrnan by Mr. edlb
SHAEPE, Mr. C. Snit Tit, Messrs.
and ROWCROFT, Mr. QUIN, Mr? WA rf 1-1 m A , and
IVis
some other Members. Mr. W. observed, that it
was hisintention, if the previous question bad not
been moved by a Member whern he highly respe6t-
ed, to have submitted 'an Anendment, expressive
of the regret of that calla at the advice which had
beep unconstitutionally administered to his MA-
Jenty, that he should demand a Pledge from his
Ministers, that however meritorious they might
think the conduct of their Catholic felloVi-subjeds,
or however urgent the necessities pf the State might
be, they would not on any lutpre occasion whatever
'again mention to the Sovereign any topic that might
?be conneeted with the claims of that deFription'of
his Majesty's Subje4s.
Mr. Alderman HANKEY declared, hat whenever
any difference of opinion, arise between the King
and his' Minis,ters, he shou)d- always support the
