A letter from Constantinople of the 19th ult. in-
forms us that the Ganges, 84, Captain Smith, C. 8.,
joined Sir W. Parker s fleet on the 13th ult., from
England, and on the 15th the squadron left Basika-
bay for Musconisi, an anchorage in the Mytilene
Channel. ,Basika-bay is an inconvenient anchorage
for a 4tildron; southerly winds send in a heavy
sea right on shore. There is also a scarcity pf fresh
water in the vicinity. The squadron is remarkably
healthy.

at Constantinople on the 19th ult., with the Earl on
board.
