one and the same time. To reinforce the first French
squadron under Vice Admiral Baron de Ia Suisse aud
The second under Rear Admiral Jacquinot, the
Conner, bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral Roman

with the Chaptai, Heron, and Narval steamers, by
Which arrivals the French force is raised constera

Der, but likewise in armament; and the uncivilised
Turk, who looks more to quantity than qualify Is
already drawing, to the prejudice OF England, I'M
favorable differences to the comparative resources
OF these two great powers, in which, for many con-
sideraons the government would do well to set him
right by ordering few more ships to the East 80 as
to make the British force, II not superior ut least
equal in vessels and guns to that of France, which
country has certainly sent for this service her finest
ships and most distinguished officers
On the 2Cth Of June, in honor OF the Queen OF
England's accession to the throne, Admiral Dundas
entertained at dinner the three French admlral5,
with their respective stats, and the whole OF the
CAPTAINS, as well of the French IA Of the Br tish

OF Napoleon III. were drunk with three times three
and one cheer more, under royal salutes from the

OF Admiral Dundas and the officers OF the British
squadron. This was responded to by the British
adMirars drinking the health OF Admiral de la Suisse
and the officers Of the French feet, declaring that
incalcuable good could not but result TO the entire
world ireni the union oftwo powers, whose combined
fsrces be might, without risk of being accused
Of vanity or boasting, pronounce irresistible, leu
whatever power, or even all the other powers to-
gether, attempt to battle with them. This speech
was received with deafening shouts OF appreciation,
and indeed, the noise made almost equalled that OF
the sautes previously fred. Many other toasts were
drunk and the party did rot break up until nearly
ten o'clock. Tie French Admiral subsequently,
entertained Admiral Dundas aud most OF the cap

the liners in tow should necessity call for more ac

where very high prices were demanded in conse-

an exchange Of salutes. The Turkish admiral de-

ticular in nquiring whether al the captains OF the
British force present were in attendance to hear his
message for such were his sovereigns commands.
The Shark proceeded to Rhodes, TO bring up troops
for the capital: and the Feizi Bahri to Smyrna,
whence she returned on the 26th with full cargo.
