Royal George, withmit the Dardanello, March, 6.
My Lord—Together with this letter, I tranfmit to
your Lordfhip tw ) letters t.f the 2 tfl and 28:h ult.
the lot mer of which will have informed you of my
arrival wi:h the fplachon near Conllantinorle, and
the latter of an unlit' ky atttmpr, in which the Ma-
rines and boats' crews of the Canopu),R yal George,
Windfor Cattle, and Standard, had been engaged.
Il is nlw my duty to acquaint your Lorah:p with
the rcfult of the refolutinn which, for the re ,tarns I
havegalteady clitaled, I had adopted of ford g the
pafftge of the D trdanelles. My letter of the ltft
it dated at anchor eight miles from Conflantinople,
the wind not admitting of a nearer approach ;—but
the Endymion, which had been fent ahead with a flag
of truce, at the requen of the Ambafftder, was ena.-
bled to anchor within four miles. Had it been then
in our power we fh.ruld have taken our RA:inn
of the town immediately, but as that could rot be
! done from the rapidity of the current, I was rather
pleated than otherwife with the poll ion we had been
forced to take, fur in the conferences bet ween Hii
Majefly's Minifier, Mr. Arbuthnot, and the Captaih
Pacha, of the particulars of which your Lordlhip is
in poffeffion, it was props-tiled by Mr. Arbuthnot, that
even when the lquadron had arrived before Conflan-
tinople, the door to pacification fhould remain open,
and that he would be willing to new-Time on terms
of equality and junice. In conlideration of this pro.
mire, and as it would convince the Porle of his Ma.
jerk's eatneft defile to preferve peace, as well as
poffefs her Miniflers with a confidence of the (ince-
rity of our profefliont, it was the opinion of Mr.
Arbuthnot, in which I concurred, that it Was fottu,
nate we had anchored at a little (finance fr.an the
capital, as a nearer approach might have Riven caufe
for fufpicinn and alai m, and have cut off the profpett
of an amicable adjunment of the differences which
had arifen.

At noon of the 210, Yiak Bey, a Miniller of the
Porte, came off ; flout whore expreffions, Mr. Ar.
buthnnt thought it impoflible not to believe that, in
the head of the Government (fitr in the prtfent in.
fiance every eircumilance proved that, between him
and the armed populace a great diflineti-n is to be
made) there really etined a lincrre defire for peace ;
and the negociati n was carried on, as will appear
by the documents tranfmitted to y L^rlifillp, till
the 27th ; but from the moment of our anchorage
till we weighed, on tl.e morning of the ill of March,
fuch was the onfortunate• (late of the weather, that
it was not at any time in our power to have occupied
a fitu/tion which would have enabled the fquadron
to c:mmtnce offenfive operations again!! C. uQanti-
nople. On Sunday the aid alone, for a few hours,
the breeze was fuflicient to have Hemmed the cut rent
where we wet c placed ; but loch was the tapidity on
(hare where the Enclyrnion was at anchor, that Capt.
Capel thought it very doubtful whether the froachon
could have t b ained an anchorage, though it had
been held in preparative seadinels, by fignal, from
day break ; but the peculiarly untettled state of the
weather, and the Milliner's defile that I &mid give
a few hi tits for an a: Ewer to his letter, through Yfale
Bey, prevented me from trying. Before five o'ciccir,
P. M. it was neatly calm ; and in the evening the
wind was entirely from the ealtward, and continued
light airs or calm till the evening of the 28th, when
it blew trefh from the N. E. and rendered it impoffi-
ble to change our pofition.
Two days after our arrival near Connantinoples
the Ambatfad tr found himfelf indifpofed, and has
been ever fence confined with a fit of Mods, fo levet e
as to prevent him from attending to Winds. Under
there circumflances he had delivered on the 22d to

the Turkifh Miniller a projea, as the bafis on which
peace might be preferved, and at his defire the fob-
fequent part of the negociation was carried on in my
name, with his advice and afliffance ; and while I
lament mutt deeply that it has not ended in the re-
eflablifhment of peace, I derive confolation from the
reflation that no effort has been wanting on the part
of Mr. Arbuthnot and myfelf, to obtain loch a refult
which was Coon ken from the (fate of the preparati •ns
at Conftantinople could be effefted by negotiation
only, as the ffrength of the current from the Bt.t-
phorus, with the circuitous eddies of the port, ren-
dered it impraaicable to place (hips for an attack
without a commanding breeze ; which, during the
ten days I was off the town, it IA as not my good
fortune to meet with. •
I now come to the point of explaining to your
Lordfhip the motives which fixed me to decide in

repaffing the ()flannel of the Dardanelles, and relin-
quithing every idea of attacking the capital, and I
feel confident it will require no argument to convince
your Lordfhip of the litter impraelicabili:y of our
force having made any imprelfion, as at this time the
whole line of the coati prefented a chain of batteries :
That twelve Ttakqh line of battle (hips, two of them
three deckers, with nine ft igate., were v ith their
fails bent, and apparently in readinefs, filled with
troops : add to this near two hundred thoufand were
laid to be in Ccnflan;inople, to march againfk the
Ruffians ; ',clicks there was an innumerable quan-
tity of (mall craft, with beats ; and fire veffels had
been prepared to aft againfl us. With the batteries
alone we might have crped, or wit') the flaps, could
we have got t!..em out sit their strong hold; but ',cur
Lordfhip will be aware, that after combating the
oppofition which the refources of an empire had been
many weeks employed in preparing, we lhould have
been in no Rate to have defended ourfelves againft
them as defctibed, and then repafs the Dardanelles.
1 know it was my duty, is obedience to your Lord•
Chip's orders, to attempt every thing (governed by
the opinion of the Ambafrador) that appeared within
the compafs of pollibiliry ; but when the unavoidable
facrifice of the fqtradton committed to my charge
(which mull have arifen, had I warred for a wind to
have enabled me to cannonade the town, unattenJed
by the remotelt chance of obtaining any advantage

?a his Majefly's fervice) mutt bint been the conk-
pence of purfuing that objea, it at once became my
p•ilitive duty, however wcunded in pride and ambi-
tion, to relirquifli it, and if I had not been already
fatisfied on the fubjeer, the ipereafed oppnfition in the
Dardanelles would have convinced me I had done

right, when I refolved on the meaftire as indifpen-
fably neceffary. I therefore weighed with the fciiia-
dron on the mot ;ling if the Ili, and as it had been
repotted that the Turk'fh fleet defigned to make an
effort againft us to give them an o;-portuni. y, if fuck
was really their intention, I continued to Wand on and
off during the day, but they (hewed no difFofition to

more.
I therefore, as every hour was of importance, bore
up at dnfk with the fquadron; we arrived off Point
Perquies towards the evening of the ad infant, but
the daylight would not admit of our attempting to
pals the caftles, and the fquadron came to anchor for
the night ; we weighed in the morning, and. when
I add that every Ihip was in fafety outfide of the
paffage, about noon, it isnot without the moll lively
(cote of the good fortune that has attended us.
The Turks bad been occupied unceafingly in adding
t.) the number of their forts, flame bad been already
completed, and others were in a forward Rate. The
fire of the two inner eagles had, on our going up,
been fevere, but I am forty to fay, the eifeets they
have had on our (hips returning, has proved them to
be doubly formidable : in fhort, had they been al-
lowed another week to complete their defences
throughout the charnel. it would have been a very
doubtful point, whether a return lay open to us at
all. The manner in which they employed the inter-
val of our abfence has proved their affiduity. I
transmit your LardOsip an account of the damages
fullained by the rap:dive (hips t as alto their lois in
killed and wounded, which your Lordlitip will per-
ceive is far from trifling. The mainmaß of the
Windfor Cattle being more than three quarters cut
through by a granite (hot of eight hundred weight,
we have found great difficulty in Paving it. I have
the honour to be, &c. (Signed) t. T. Ducey/oar's.
P. S. I am lorry to obferve that, in the courfe of
this letter to your Lnrdfhip, I have omitted to men-
tion that, having placed the lion. Captain Capel in
the Endymion, which had been advanced in the
tlyeam of the Borphorus, ft.r the purpofe cf aka-
taining when the fqoadron could Rim the current,
and for a watchful obfervatinn of the movements of
the Turks, as well as to facilitate communication with
the Porte, I feel myfelf indebted to that officer for
his zealous attention and alliduity during the time he
was placed in that arduous fituati rn. I. T. D.
Royal George, off Conftautinople, Feb.2r,
My Lord-1 had the honour of tranfmitting to
your Lord hip, by the late Firß Lieutenant t f the
Ajax, the various details relating to the ttarfaCtions
of the timadron till the 17th ultimo. Your Lordlhip
will from thence have been informed of my refolu•
Lion cf patting the Dardanelles the fill fair wind.—
A fine wind from the fouthward permitted me to
carry it into &ad on the morning of the t9th.
Information had been given me by his Majefly's
Minißer, Mr. Arbuthnot, and Sir Thomas Louis,
that the Tutkilh fquadron, confitling of a 64 gun
(hip, four frigates, and feveral corvettes, had been for
flame time at anchor within the inner cattle ; and
conceiving it poffible they might have remained there,
I had given orders to Rear Admiral Sir Sydney
Smirk to bring up with the Thunderer, Standard,
and Adive, and dellroy them, fhauld our patrage be
oppafed.
At a quarter before nine o'clock the whole of the
fquadron had paged the outer cattle, without hav•
ing returned a (hot to their fire (which occafinned
but li the injury). Tbis forbearance was produced
by the d-fire of his Majefty's Minifter, expreffed to
prefer re every appearance of amity, that he might
negociatt with the arongell proof of the pacific
nf our Sovereign towards the Porte: a fie
Bond battery, on the European fide, fired alio with
as little effect. At half pall nine o'clock, the Cano-
pus, which, on account of Sir Thomas Louis's
knowledge of the channel, joined to the Ready gal-
lantry which I had before experienced, had been
appoitted to lead, entered the narrow paffage of
Seitos and Abydos, and fullained a very heavy can•
nonae from both cattle% within point-blank Riot of
each. They opened their fire upon our (hips as they
continued to pats in fuccellion, although I was happy
. in °Vetting that the very fpirited return it met with
had fo confider ably diminifhed its force, that its effect
on the flevamoß (hips could not have been fo fevere.
Immediately to the N. E. of the caltles, and be
tween them and Point Pefquies, in which a formi.
dable battery had been newly ereded, the (mall (qua
dron which I have already alluded to were at anchor.
The van divifion of our fquadron gave them their
broadfides as they paled, and Sir Sydney Smith with
his divilion doled into the mittla, an: the tired• of the
fire was loch that in half an hour the Turks had all
cut their cables to run on (bore. The objea of the
Rear Admiral was then to deftroy them, which was
mull rapidly effeded ; as in lefs than four hours the
whole of them had exploded, except a fmall corvette,
and a pun boat, which it was thought proper to pre-
ferve. I inclofe to your Lordtbip a llatement of their
number, and when I add alto an account of the lots
his Majelly's Mips have fullained, I cannot help cx.
pteffing my fatisfadion that we have (offered fo
fliehtly; as, had any of their Rote (hot, ionic of,
which exceed eight hundred weight, made fuch a
breach between wind and water, as they have done
in our fides, the (hip pull have funk ; or had they
flunk a lower mat in the centre, it mull evidently
have been cut in two; in the rigging too, no accident
occurred that was not perfectly arranged in the courfe
of the next day. The frit fail yard of the Royal
George, the gait of the Canova-, and the maintop-
fail yard of the Standard, are the only (pars that
were injured.
It is at ith peculiar pi:afore that I embrace the op-
portunity, which has been at this time afforded, of
bearing tertimony to the zeal and dittinguifhed abi-
lity of Sir Sydney Smith ; the manner in which he
executed the fervice entrufied to him was worthy of
the tepntaeon which he has long fence fo juilly and
generally ellablithed. The terms of approbation in
which the Rear Admiral relates the condusL of Cap-
tains nacres, Talbot, Harvey, and Moubray, which,
from my being under the neceffity of palling the
point of Pefquies before the van could anchor, he
had a greater opportunity of obferving than I could,
cannot but be highly flattering ; but I was a more

immediate witnefs to the able and officer-like conduit
which Captain Moubray difplayed in obedience to my
fignal, by dettroying a frigate with which he had
been snore particularly engaged, having driven her
on (bore on the European fide, after the had been
forced to cut her cables, from under the fire of dire
Pompee and Thunderer. The fixty-four having run
on thole on Pefquies Point, I ordered the Repulfe to
work up and deftroy her, which Captain Legge, in
conjunction with the boats of the Pompee, executed
with great promptitude and judgment. The battery
on the point, of more than thirty guns, which, had
it been completely finiflual, was in a pofition to have
annoyed the fquadron molt feverely in patting, was
taken poffeffion of by the Royal Marines and boats'
crews of the rear divifion ; the Turks having retired
at their approach, and the guns were immediately
(piked. This fervice was performed under the direc-
tion of Captain Nicholls, of the Standard's Marines,
whole fpirit and enterprize can never be doubted;
but as circumftances rendered it imprailicable to
effea the entire deltruftion of the redoubt, orders
were given by Sir Sydney Smith to Capt. Moubray,
which I fully approved, to remain at anchor near
the Pefquies, and to employ Lieutenants Carrot and
Arabin, of the Pompee, and Lieutenant Lawrie, of
the Marines, to complete the demolition of the re-
doubt and guns, which when performed, the Attire
was to continue in the pelage of the Dardanelles till
i further orders. .
At a quarter paR five P. M. the fquadron was
enabled to make fail ; and on the evening of the next
day, the zoth, came to an anchor, at ten o'clock,
near the Prince's Iflands, about eight miles from
Conflantinople, when I difpatched Captain Capel, in
the Endymion, to anchor near the town, if the wind,
which was light, would permit the flip to Item the
current, to convey the Ambalfaclor's difpatches to
the Sublime Porte in the morning by a flag of truce;
but he found it impraaicable to get within four miles,
and confequently anchored at half pelt eleven P. M.
I have now the higheft fatisfailion to add. that the
conduit of the officers and (hips' companies of the
fquadron under my command has fully fupported the
oh-trailer of the Si-hills navy, and is deferving of my
warmeft eulogium. .
Having endeavoured to pay juft tribute to thok
whole duty neceffarily called them into this fervice, I
fhould feA myfelf very deficient if I omitted to men-
tion that his Maje fly's Minifter, Mr. Arbuthnot, and
Lord Burgerlh f. vho had requelled to take a cruize
with me) were among the molt animated in the com-
bat. To Captain Blackwood, who, after the unfor-
tunate lofs of the Ajax, volunteered to ferve in. the
Royal George, great praife is due for his able affift•
ante, in regulating the fire of the middle and lower
decks; and when the Royal George anchored, he
moll readily offered his fervices to convey a meffage
to the Endymion, of great moment, her pilot having
refufed to take charge of the (hip. From thence he
gave his Alliance to arrange the landing of the troops
from the fixty, and letting her on fire; indeed, where
[ active fervice was to perform, there was his anxious
1 defire to be placed. His officers too requetted to ferve
in the fquadr on, and their fervices, in patting through
the Dardanelles, met with approbation. I have the
honour to be, Sm. (Signed) J. T. DUCKWORTH.

Royal George, at anchor off Prince's Wands, Feb. 28, Ain.
My Lora--1 have to inform your L.,rdlhip that it
was perceived at nine o'clock yellerday morning,
that the Turks had landed on the Ifland of -Prota,
near which the lquadron was anch• red, and were
ereeling a battery in a pofition to annoy us. I im-
mediately ordered the Marines of the fquadron to be
prepared for landing, and the boats to be manned
and armed, and the Repulfe, with :he Lucifer, hav-
ing been direEted to cover them, they proceeded to.
wards the ifland. The Turks, on the (hips firing a
few grape to fcour the beach, quitted the ifland in
their boats, when all but one boat with eleven men
efcaped, the which, with two guns they had intend.
ed to mount, fell into our pofreffion.
At half after two o'clock in the afternoon Sir
Thomas Louis fent to inform me, that he had re-
ceived intelligence of a !mall number of Turks being
(till on the ltland, and requelting permiffion to fend
Marines to take them. My reply was, that no rifle
whatever mutt be run, but if it could be effected with-
out hazarding the people, it might ; and a party of
the Canopus's marines was immediately fent on fhore
in eoniequence, with the molt pofitive orders to Cap.
tain Kent from SirThos. Louis not to purfue the ob.
jest, if he found it attended with any hazard. At
four o'clock the party on fhore made the fignal for
affillance, and the marines and boats maimed and
armed were direelly ordered away from the Royal
George, Windfor Cattle, and Standard, with particu-
lar direCtions to bring off the Canopus's people, but
to avoid being drawn into danger.. A little before
(unfet an officer was difpatched with orders for the
whole to return on board.
On the return of the boats, which was not till after
dark, I heard with the deepell regret, the loft we had
fultained : a lilt of which 1 herewith tranlmit, and do
molt particularly lament Lieutenant Belli, a young
officer of the faireft promife, who had never ferved
but with myfelf. To account in frame degree for
this unlucky affair, it appears that the information
of a few Turks only having remained on the Ifland
was entirely talfe, as nearly too of them had retired
to an old convent, from loop holes is the walls of
which they defended themfelvcs with mufieetry. The
people of the Canopus had in the flea inftance ad-
vanced dole under the walls, and in endeavouring
to relieve them from their tsopleafant fituation, the
others fuffered.
In order if poffible to prevent the retreat of the
Turks from this ifland, the launches of the tquadron,
armed with their carronades, were ordered to row
guard during the night, under the direction of Capt.
Elliot of the Lucifer ; but npootiewd to haveithttdi efcngearpaeery
poffible vigilance, they are fup
in the night, as the next morning it was reprefented
to me, that only (even Greek imlabitants of the place
were remaining. I have the honour to be, Ste.
