13 May. The British frigate Madagaskar left that day probably first destined
towards Prevesa to inform the Greek and Turkish commanding officers of the
latest decisions made by the Greek government and from there she was to inform

British or Ionian merchant ships were not allowed by the Greek to enter the
harbours and coast of Albany or Rumelia. The British ship of the line Asia
appeared 16 May off Corfu. She left 9 May Naples. On board was admiral sir
