there Is no instance OF the fleet Of any one country
showing more complete union OF spirit and of ar
ton, than was exhibited by the squadrons of three
Allied Powers together in this bloody and iestruc
tive battle. He attributes 10 the bright example set
by his gallant colleagues the Rear Admirals the able
and cordial support which the ships of the several
squadronS gave 10 each other during the heat and
confusion OF the battle Such union OF spirit & of
purpose; such GOODNESS & bravery under fire, S,
such consequent precision in the use of their guns
ensured victory over the well prepared ARRANGE
ments OF greatly superior numbers; and the whole
Turkish & Egyptian fleets have paid the penal,v oI
their treacherous breach of faith
The boosted Ibraham Pacha promised not to o,it
