CON STANTIIIOIPIa, Fri. 26.--Several • days pan
our city has been in a (fate of fiege ; every thing ,
.around ns breathes war and the root! determined re
•finance. An Englitb fquadron, emptied of aB(hips
of war, which arrived at Tenedos, from is to so
days ago, forced the paffage of the Dardanellesobe
. loth of this month. The scales and balletic: did
their duty ; .but they were feebly ftipplied by • bad
.gunners. The Emperor Napoleon offered a thotifancl
'chofen gunners; they were refuted; only four officers
of gogineers.•and four officers of artillery were requir.
:ed.- , The Englifh have funained in the paffage limn
lofts of men and Come injury to their vends. Admiral
Duckworth, who commands this fquadron, has left
,two yards between the Dardanelles and Gallipoli.—'
Thefe two points,arc occupied in force by the-I'mb,
who, fince they have feen the danger,, have become
'eileigetic, and increa re their means of refinance every
inflant. --The enemy is advanced towards Conflanti-
rum*, with fix, (hips of the line; of which two. are 1
Ow deckers,, three fligates, and one brig: After 1
their .paff.4ge through the Dardanelles, they burned 1
a Turkith lquadron, which was anchored under the
Canto, confining of a 74 gun fhip, and five fine
frigates. As: this day was the fecund fete of the
Courhan Beyram, almoft all the officers, and a great
peitt of their crew were afbnre, anchhufe who were
on board-fled at the approach of the Englith fqtia•
dron. A Turkifh brig belonging to this fquadron,
And of which the Captain was aboard, cut his cable,
Mid came here to give the alarm. With difficuhy
did we believe the report, until Come hours after, at
five o'clock in-the evening of the toth of this month;
the.Etiglins fquadron difcovered Well before Connell-
tinriPle, and took its anchorage' at the diffance of
two cannon Riots, all along the mall; from the Seven
Towers to the Seraglio, • . . .
It is eafy to form an idea of the public et-m(4llla-
tinit, and of the general alarm, on, the prq night i
they sive Gill ignorant of the enemylit. force, and
