CONSTANTINOPLE, DEC. zB.

A council of the minillers was held yenerday, and
ar Was declared again 1 RUB& The Ulemas have
pronounced it to be ; the flandard of the prophet
has been hoiiled ; all the country is in motion; the Pa-

chas of Romelia have received orders to advance with
their troops towards the Danube; another army ad-
vances from Afia, and will follow the famc direction ;
the Grand Vizier will take the command, and march
with the holy ftandard.

M. Italinfky was to be fent to the feren towers
the French ambaffador far from imitating the con-
duet of that Minifter, was the firft to advife the Porte
to fend him back honourably ; ten fail of the line

produced feveral falters ; the two Englifh (hips arc
Bill before Conftantinople ; the Britifh Minifter does
not appear to have had any inftruCtions on fo un-,
expeCted a circumflance ; it is the infulting pro
clamation of General MICHRLSON which has ex-
cited throughout the Empire this general move•
ment, the Turks fay that they would rather die
fighting fcymitar in hand, under the banner of the
prophet, than tubmit to fuch outrages. The patri-
arch, a venerable man, who poll-dies the greateft in-
fluence, and the Princes Callimachi and Suzzo have
made known to the Greeks, by a Proclamation, the
incalculable misfortunes which will befall them if they
do not limit their ears to the perfidious infinuations of
Ruffian Agents: alternate vktims of the Ruffian
arm:, of the arms of the Tui ks, and perhaps of any
other power, the country would be laid wage for a
century, but the brave have not ceafed to ezat in
Europe, and they will not fuller the van empire
which intends its confines to China, to reign alfo
upon the Bofphorus, the Turks may perhaps be
beaten, but they will eventually be conquerors,
they will have for them our powerful ally ; it is
this on which repofe our confidence, he will not
permit that their enemies fhould provoke them
any longer, that the people whom he has al.
ready feveral times vanquithed fhould deftroy the

ready his camp is upon the Viflula, already the Ruf-
fians which are in fight of our troops, fufficiently

mies will be confounded, and our empire will come
out of this Ilruggle and re-ettablifli itfelf upon its
natural alliances.

pears, from Monte Video on 'he 23 , t lalv, with
600 men; on thnt 26th paired in rafts the titers cf
Camelanes and St. J.tfeoh ; on d e 28th re idled La
Colunia del Sacramento, where I.e found D o, Getier-
rez De Is Concha, with a flan! 2, coati tin of fix
fchooners, armed with eighteen and thirty fix poun-
der>, one with thirty fit pound howiortrs, tier iyal
gun boats, thirty three at ined laoncheo and eight
tranfports. On the zoth the flotilla attack:d and
beat off an Englith In ig. On the ill of Augua he
was joined by too volunteers, equipped at the ex-
pence of the inhabitants of La Colonia. I-le err-
barked his troops on the 3d, and on the. followiro,
day effeaed a landing at Las Conchae, where he alfo
difembarked the failors and marines of the 1100,4,
amounting to 323. On the sth he entered St. lfidt to,
amida the acclamations of the inhabitants. On rh.
6th the weather was extremely tempeattouc, and the
Englilh loft fix of their at med launches. On the.
Loth, Linier entered Ntat;cleros del Miferere, ar If
fent in a fummons to Cyzr-T:al Beretford to ittrryo' r

lnfs of from 3; to .so kilted, anc to made oniony -,
five of them being wounded. At this irdfant the
Englillt General came up. with f,•eto coo to got,
men ; but Linier having opened a fire o grape Mot
on them, ' they difverted,' he rays, ' like a clo .u,
leaving behind a number Iltio.' Don J .aquin To,
ledo, a Midthiptnan, was the (My Soa )iaru vho
Coffered from the fi•e of the Enelifls, and !. e ; eroi,:ea
only a flight wound in the head. .
" On the i i th, I.inier opened a battery on one of
the Englith (hips,' whole mizen top-maft was ce:r:e4
away, :Aid theEnglili flag fell int., the wee; ; a ::at po
prognaflic of the event which was to take place the
day after in Eu:nos Ayres.' At tea o'cl ,ek, on tlc
lath of Angull (continues Littler) the Sp toith troops
advanced in two cola mns, by the flree. of La Nler.
ced and that the Cathedral. 'I It: snenty gir di ,rued

the approathi to.the fquare with. ei.,,hteen oi.ces

balconies oft the honks immediately atijoiaing thl
fquare and tl4 Cathedral. For about two ht.o s
the conteft wis maintained on both tides with ecral
firmnefs; valour, and obflinacy ; when at lenge). t' c
enemy gave way at all points, and retreAted ft. us
the fquare, which was in lantly occu, ied by our
troops; and, having betaken themfelves L4' the for-,
they hoitled the white flag. Eut, from the, e .1:1141-
attic ardour of my foldiers, it was a coofi.ierable.
111hgth of time before a flop c uld he pot to our ti e.
At length, keing Don Hihtrion de la Quintana en. r
.the fort with a flag of truce, they pre ffed forward
toward the gate and upon the counterfcarp :, fo that
myftlf and my (Acerb were obliged to make tre of .
'threatening language to refltain their impetuoroy,
and to reprefent to them, that , the het I had not yet
furrendered, that the white 'flag m;e).t be holed
only as a fignal of a fulpenlion ut arms, &c. In
fatt. had the Engliffi General been difpored to a,tt
with bad faith, he might have detained my Aide-de-
Camp, and nccationed a.horrible (laughter am ,to;
our troops, though, in no event, fuel as to, pret cot
MIT final fucceit. B it, far (tom taking In defocone
a refolution, he immediately hoilied the Spanith Big,
without treating of any ether "terrets than thofe an-
nounced to him by my Aide•de-Camp, who w0..1d
only agree to his furrenderirig at diferetioo. S . a
after, he left the fort, accerapanied by my isisie sic:-
Camp ; and, coming up to me, I briefly info in.-_,I
him, that the efleem due to his bravery induced rile
to grant him the honours of war. 'Accordinoly,
having drawn tip my troops in line, the Eagii!li.
marched out of the fort, to the number of r:.C.O, anti
laid down their arms at the head of our troops.
Their Infs in killed and wounded was tee r I ivat::
and five Officers ; that on our fide was 180 rank and
file, with the Midthipman Dun Jet 1 Miranda woond-
ed in the hand; and the Enfign Don Juan Baptitla
Fantin, my Aide-de-Camp, wounded in the leg.
" There were mounted in the fort 35 pieces of
cannon and four mortars. The muskets which have
been delivered up to us antoont to 1600. There was
no truth in the report that the arms in the magazine
of the fort had been carried 4.. ff. We have 'iurther
taken from the enemy 26 ricces of cannon and four
howitzers, and the colours of the 7111 Reimer',
which we have confecrated to our Lady of Lo:Urio."
Linier then paffes irone et.logies on the bravery and
perfeverance of his troops, and the patriotic !Pint of
feveral of the inhabitants of Buenos Are-, who had
contributed large Corns cf money for the telicf of the
wounded, and .the widows and children of the {lain."
In a lupplement to the Madrid Gazette of the 16:1t

vigorous defence of his Majelty'sdonaid no. in Europe

co-operate in the views of his ally, the Emperor of
