Constantinople Nov 30 report describes Ramadhan month where Muslims fast from sunrise to sunset and suspend hostility to focus on piety. Mufti’s Fetfa might excuse troops, while Mahometan forces advance toward Bazardick. Hope rests on Haifan bravery and troop discipline amid potential Ruffian advances. Also note South Carolina dispatch from Charles Town about Spanish smuggling vessels near Porto Rico.
