Western Sun & General Advertiser, Volume 12, Number 10,Vincennes, Knox County, 7 April 1821 -3 NEW-YOR K, February 22. The following article has been handed to us by a respectable gentleman of this city : -- Extract of a letter to a gentleman of this city, dated at Smyrna, Oct. 20. "At length, I suspect, the government of the United States has sent an agent to Constantinople. A flew days past the U. States brig 'Spark' arrived here, and mr. Bradish, who came in her, proceeded immediately to Constantinople. He appeared anxious his character should not be known -- however, more than two months ago I learnt the English embassy at Constantinople expected the daily arrival of an American minister. The departure of mr. Bradish from the United States appears to have been a great secret -- it is most probable, however, the English minister by some means ascertained his nomination. I trust any negotiation, that may be undertaken will not be made through the medium of any foreign power, particularly the Russians. -- to be regarded as their friends would by no means be agreeable as a resident in the Levant -- neither do I believe any such mediation would be necessary. The Spark is to remain for dispatches from Constantinople." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.71.72.71 (talk) 15:15, 22 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
