AFFAIRS OF TURKEY.
OFFICIAI. ACCOUNT OF THE EVENTS AT
CONSTANTINOPLE.
The Porte wiflied fbr Peace.—ln purfuance of
this dipottion (perhaps carried too far) (be contented
to the reinttatement of two of her difrniffed Hofpo-
dars. She had not yielded to the threats of Ruffia ;
the knew that Ruffle was her implacable enemy ; but
the yielded to the notes and the threats of England.
England teemed fatisfied, and every
t thing tcontinuaeemed to
give reafon to the Porte for expeEling he
tinn of a Peace (he h,tifo dearly purchafed ; when,
all at 'once. Miehelfon advanced into Moldavia, fur-
rounded Cbacgim and took it io confequence of a
ftratagem-afier a few (hots had been fired. Michelfon
thereupon Mita' the:pr6clamation narked No. I.
and it was followed by: netification No. 11. 011
the part of the Anthit Sfinifter, whom the Porte
had invited to.Cenftantitibple.
The Poi•te was deeply fenfible of this accumula-
tion of idfoltriO' treachery, and hypocrity. The
Ruffian `ikrittrw;ilnot ramified with attacking Mol.
da via, feizing upon, arcsim, furrounding Bender,
and marching towards the Vanube , the Court of
St. Peterfburgh ditclefed it! intentions hill farther by
commanding the Tutikillt inhalSints of the provin-
d'es the had attacked to tell-thele geods and to quit
-the difiria occupied by the army. The peafanta
were known to fell an ox for a dollar, and to give
up their moveables and other effeas for fill fmaller
confederations. Already reinforced by Effen, Mi-
chelfon's army was alto further ftrengthened by the
troops which were on their march towards the Da.
Dube. The 'Ottoman Empire was in danger; but
the French army appeared on the Vifula, took pot
teffion of Warfaw, and Ruffia,thus threatened on her
own frontiers, haftily recalled Effen and the troops
of the Don. Michelfou colle•Sed his troops into
Bachareft, but he could not advance farther. The
Torkilh army formed, and their advanced guard was
Sufficient to keep the Ruffians in the neighbourhOcd
of that place.
The Englifh Ambaffador at firft interfered—He
could make no anfwer to the firong grounds on which
the Divan anted. The Porte was attacked in its ter-
ritories, without any declaration of war ; the alts of'
her internal adminiliration were criticiled in the pro-
clamation of the enemy's General; not a fingle di-
. plomatie note preceded the holtile operations, and no
way was left open for a recr,nciliation. The Englifh
Ambaffador alto anted in the fame fpirit ; he Caw the
Ruffian Minifter depart, and he remained tranquil.
A few weeks afterwards he appeared at a conference
which took place on the 25th of January with the
Sublime Porte. He handed in the Declaration (No.
III.) and then went on board a frigate, ordered the
cables to be cut, and difappeared ; and on the
29th he fent from on board the frigate Endrnion,
the Note (No. IV.) to the Porte. It was plain at
this crifis that it was intended to impofe upon the
Porte by a fudden blow; for fcarcely had the Am-
baffador arrived at Tenedos, when the fquadron of
Admiral Duckworth appeared there alto.
After the Englifh Admiral had waited tome time
at Tenedos, he appeared with two three deckers,
three 8o gun (hips, two 74's and a few-bomb ve(fds,
before the Dardanelles. Favoured by a fouth wind,
the enemy's fqoadron arrived at tighi u'Lluck in the
morning of the isith of February, before the batteries
of the two firft towers: the latter began a bra and
well-direited fire, which the Englifh did not anfwer.
When they arrived off the heights of the two other
forts, the batteries began to play upon the flips.—
The wind drove the flips forward, and the batteries
of the forts were badly manned. Off the heights of
Gallipoli, the Englifh fquadron encountered a Turk-
ifh (rip of the line and five frigates. The crews of
theft ',ads were in the mot:lnes ; betties, what could
this divifion do againft fo fuperior a force ? The
Englifh attacked them, and were once more guilty
of a tranfgreffion which is peculiar to this nation, and
with which they had already ctifgraced themfelves by
the burning of four Spanifh frigates. The Englifh
Admiral, in fhort, burned the fix Turki(h (hips of
war, and yet war was not declared ; negeciations
were (ill going on, and the Minitter of the Porte
was flill in London ! _ _ _

Conftantirsople warily an uproar; in place of des
pondency being produced, all the inhabitants were
inflamed. On the xoth, at five o'clock in the evening,
the Englifh fquadron appeared before the Seraglio.
Nothing was prepared to receive them ; not a finale
point was in a (late of defence ; but every one ran to
arms. The Grand Sultan was the firft to proceed to
the pofitions which were thought moli advifeable for
the batteries to be conftrueted. Tutleifh men, women,
children, Armenians, Greeks, therms, Sheiks. Der-
vifes—afl Ceisted upon fpades and (hovels. Ten French
engineers, artillery and artillery officers, arrived from
Dalmatia in the night time.

3. The Porte to declare war againft France, and fend away the
Anahadador.
4. Ruffle to keep Moldavia and Wallachia ;IGnai, and the other
fortrefits on the Danube, to be delivered up to the Ruffians.
Such propOfals deceived no anfwer. The next day
the Dragoman of the Porte was difpatched, but in
vain. Either the acceptance of the conditions, or
bombardment, was the language of the Englifh Ad-
miral. He did not think that mortars were rn readi-
nefs, and that bomf.s would anfwer bombs.
There was Comething fublime in the countenances
of the people. The zeal they difplayed in their la-
bours, their obedience to the direelions which were
given them, and their loud exclamations of devotion
and attachment to their Sovereign, aftonifbed every
&anger. On the 25th of February, the Englifh
Arnbairador required that a place should be ap.
*tinted where he could land, in order to confer with
the Minifter of the Porte. The Divan anfwered,
that in future there was no place, no foot of ground
in the whole Ottoman Empire, where an Engl

could land without tsetse. Capita g 'qt i jug ;dig.
nation of the people, that even in the Seraglio of the
Sultan biatfelf, there was not fufficient power to
' protea an Eng Ullman againft the cxafperauon of the
Moiralmen.
The Engla fquadron now taw that they could
obtain nothing—that the Porte was not to be tetri-
fied—and that their plot conditions, They Sultan
from the fira propofed but the
replied he would not negociate, as long as the Eng-
lifh fleet was on this fide cf the Dardanelles; a fob-
lime anfwer—to be compared to that of the Roman
Senate to Pyrthus. The Englifh now proceeded
to rife intrigue, corruption and meannefs—the ufual
arts reforted to by injtiftice and prefumption.
On the 26th of February, Admiral Duckworth
fent the Note, No. V. along with the inftruaions, to
the Reis Effendi, whom he expelled to induce to
refeme the negociations. We fee from this, that there
is no longer any mention made of delivering up the
Dardanelles or the is (hips of war. The Grand
Sultan was inflexible; his condo& was energetic and
decided. Although educated in the Seraglio, he be-
hived himfelf as a Prince who had (pent all his life
in camps. He was night and day with his troops,
or upon the batteries.
On the ad of March,. General Sebaaiani was per-
mitted to approach him. The former found him on
horfebaCk in the mirlft of his foldiers. The Grand
Seignior raid to him, " The Englifh with that I fhould
remove the French Ambaffador, and commence war
againft my belt friend. Write to the Emperor that
I received a letter from him yeiterday, that I (hall
(land by my engagements, that he may depend upon
me as truly as I depend upon him."
The Seraglio and the European and Afiatic (bores
were covered with batteries ; every defcription of for-
tifications were erefted towards the Dardanelles,which
I were planted every where with cannon, and provided
with camps.
In there circumflatteei the Englifh fleet thought it
advifable to withdraw. It has repaired the Darda-
nelles. In a moment there were to firips.of war, two
of which were three deckers, in readittefs, and pro-
vided with their Flores and feamen: Officers, janif-
faries, failors, all (trove for the honour of going on
board the fleet, and in fpite of the advice of the molt
prudent people, the impatience of the crews who
weighed their anchors oveicame every obflacle.—
The fleet has advanced ti the Dardanelles. The
Englifh came to an anchor on the 3d, two leagues
on the other fide of the Streights, on the fide of the
1 old Cafile of Afia.
The Emperor Napoleon, at the &it declaration
of war, offered the Sultan an army cp cover the
Dardanelles and the Danube. The Porte would at
fira accept only Engineers and Artillery Officers: it
has now required other aid, which is advancing with
all (peed.
