burgh, had suffered a defeat from the nrms of the
Sublime Porte, and had consequently begged a Peace.
The proposals of the British Ambassador, Mr.
ARBUTHNOT,' \Vas delivered in to theThagoMan on
the 22d of February.
".-:There is no. inclination whatever to der-at
from the A... proposals ; and, in order to give the
Porte. the plainest possible evidence, that this is an
Unalterable resolution, the Vice-Admiral has the ho-'
nour to transmit .to his Excellency SAID HA LET
EFFEND/ an abstract of the instructions Which were
.prepared for Rear-Admiral Sir THOMAS Louts, and
to, which that Officer will strictly adhere, if the Ot-
toman Empire, in consequence of the intrigues of
the French- Ambassador,. has been unfortunately so
disorganized, that his Excellency SAID HALET
EF-
FENDI ho himself declares) is compelled to ad.;
snit his satisfaCtion, that no EngliSh•Plenipotentiary
has ventured to come onshore to him.
" Vice-Admiral' Sir THOMAS-DUCKWORTH has
only'to add, that the British Ambassador; Mr. AR,.
BUTHNOT, hOS authorised hint to'declare officially to
the Porte, that his mission is at an end.

In the event that the Sublime Porte, through
the inflialon of the, occurrences of •warlike opera-'
tions, or
,froarshaking off the yoke of the foreign
influence, by meatis'of which she has been brought.
at preSent to the brink of destrucaion, shall. evince
a Wish to accede to the fair and friendly: proposals;
which Great -Britain, in' her' own name, and
that of her Ally, has made, in that case the Porte
has only to send off a Flag Truce. Such a
signification will be attended-to even in the heat of
battle.

".The Vice-Admiral cannot` sufficiently express
how warmly his Sovereign is interested- in the wet=
fare 'of the Sultan, and how painfullt will be for his
Illaj6ty to learn in what an unfortunate situation hiS
Imperial Highness has been-placed by the coudu&
of some of his Councillors.

" The Vice-Admiral assures-his Excellency SAID
lIALET EFFENDI Of his high consideration.

LVSTRUCTIONS TO REAR - 1113MI,RAL SIR THOMAS
LOUIS, WITH RESPECT TO HIS NEGOTIATION

WITH THE OTTOMAN PLENIPOTENTIARIES.

(After recapitulating the causes of the misunder-
standing between the Porte and Great Britain, Sir.
TtromAs Lours is desired to intimate to the-Turkish
Ministry, how oils-y. 4 would bo for the British Ships
to make thernSelves masters of G.rristantinople after
passing the Dardanelles, so vainly-considered as im-
pregtrable. The instriraionS then proceed : )
`• Atid now to come to the present posture of the
Negotiation; Sir THOMAS Lours will be' Pleased to
declare, that 'the instrnetions he has received will
not permit him to depart from a-single iota contain-
cd.in. the proposals transmitted by him ,on the 29d
instant, to the Dragoman of the Porte. If the
Porte wishes to retain the friendship of Great Bri-
tain and Russia, she must accede to these proposals
When those :instrnetions were sent from
England, in consequence of which Mr. ARBVTIINOT
friade these -requisitiblis, it was very far from being
suspected that the French Ambassador had been
chosen as Director in Chief of. the Turkish military
operations. Since the arrival 'of the Btitish Fleet
before Constatitinople, this Am,baSsadot has been
seen on the shores,- as if he was employed in ere&-
ing batteries, and superintending all the measures
which the Turkish Government thought it expe.
.dient to take. , • •

.. ~,.rt is, therefore, not only impossible, in the pre-
sent circumstani:es- to depart -from any- thing that
has been already proposed, but it is also insufferable
that. the French Ambassador and an English Am.
bassador shOuld in future reside at the same time in
this capital. .
In order, -however, to give a proof of the sin.,
cereaesire which actuates the British Government,
and those who are entrusted with its comrnanc-ts, niit
to place the Porte again under the disagreeable ne.
cessity which she was once before coinpeuedJo sub-
mit to, of-removing a Foreign Minister; Mr. Att.
BUTHNOT cheerfully consents, (although it is con-
trary to his instructions) that the departure of 111.
SEBASTIAN! Shall form no part of the public docu-
ments to be concluded upon, but. only that the
Turkish Minister shalltake all nocessarY nicasures
to produce the: accomplishment of this object, by
communicating to that Ambassador his determina-
tion upon the subje6L
" If the Porte will instantly sign an A(.l, contain-
ing the Articles transmitted through the Dragoman,
on the 224 inst, and in addition to this a confiden-
tial and secret article, which has• for its object the
removal of M. SEBASTIAN!, then every hostile mea-.
sure on the part of Great Britain shall be immedi-
ately abandoned, and the Sultan will enloy: the,
frienship of his Majesty;- in the same manner as if
there had been' no misunderstanding at all between
the two nations." . .
