No. XV'.

" Vice-Admiral, Sir J. 'l'.. DUCKWORTH cannot
sufficiently express his astonishment respecting the
cenclud pursued by the Sublime Porte, in persisting
to detain .the Midshipman and saiiors belonging to
the Frigate, under.a flag of truce, after the repeated
applications of the Vice-Admiral to the Ottoman
Goitertiment for their release, and at the very mo-
ment 'that the Sublime Porte declared in its Projet
that peace still existed between the two countries.
‘‘ The Vice-Admiral is so much the more parti-
cularly struck "b3= this very extraordinary proceeding,
because it tbrms so marked a contrast to the conduct
pursued.by the British squadron in passing the Dar-
danelles; where, notwithstanding the aggression
was so plainly on the part of the subjeets of his IM-
'Serial- Highness the Sultan, not One' of them was
• freated otherwise than. with the greatest kindness,

. _
and .who was not instantly set at liberty.
The Vice-Admiral still relies on the justice of
the'Stiblitne Porte, and is persuaded that these five
stibjedS 'of his Sovereign wilt be sent back without
the least delay.
" The Sublime Porte Must-be aware, that in de-
laining persons aiprisquers who were under a flag
Of truce, it will expose itself to the most scoot, cen-
sure of the whole world,-by so gross a violation of
the customs of ciVilized.r•Powers. But the 'Vice-
Admiral has not the least doubt that, in consequence
of this explanation, the five men alluded to will be
instantly liberated. '

"..;The Vice-Admiral has the Honour, &c.

f‘ The English Ambassador, not being certain
that there will be any other opportunity of sending
on shore, takes the liberty of recommending
,the in-
closed to his Ex,celleuey the Reis "Effendi, with a re-
quest that he will have the goodness to transmit it to
Baron De. HUBSCH.

The Ambassador assures his Excellency...the
letter treats only of private matters; but his Excel-
lency is at liberty, if be thinks it necessary, to open
it, and see what it contains.
" The Ambassador assures the Reis Effendi of his
high consideration.
" On board the `Royal George, Feb. 27."

No. XVII.

," Vice-Admiral Sir 3, T. DUCKWORTR, to give
a further and much more convincing proof of his
repugnance to do injury to private persons, has de-
termined to seal back to the Sublime Porte, and
consequently to release all those of its subjeCts which
he-fook yesterday in the aa of committing hostilities
against him.) When the Sublime. Porte shall raga
upon this generous conduCt, it will be hardly neces-
sary to invite it-to compare it'Avith that. which has
been. holden with respea to the five Englishmen
taken under a flag of truce.
" Every .motive- of- humanity and justice, in short,
every motive of "cdunnon :sense; 'should indUce. the
Sublime Porte hot to hesitate to follow the example,
which, in far, different circumstances, has. been sbewn
by the Vice-Admiral ; and,- colFequent!y, he will
not allow himself to entertain. the leaSt doubt, that
the men belonging to' his Squadron,
,who have been
s-) improperly detained, will, on this occasion at least,
be,imnieckiately returned to their Frigate.
