hb'ect of the Turkish authorities in not recalling

nth due caution, to advance further into the
"Sian territory.
itThe Post concludes from the authentic accounts
received, that the Turks have not suffered
`c defeats in Asia, of which the Russian bulletins
'`‘'e such gloomy descriptions.
With regard to the assertion, that the French
t
ittivoy at Constantinople overruled Admiral Dun-
i:l4S proposition for action, the Post is certain that
cannot be contradicted, when it asserts that the
r, 'joy and action of the French government, so far
t'to having hampered ours, has always been rather
advance, and never behind, from the day the
:elach fleet sailed from Toulon to the Greek
Slaters, whilst ours remained in apparent indeci-
4at Malta. There is reason to believe that the
pabined fleets have entered the Black Sea; but the
05t does not think they will go to Sebastopol.
The Daily News says private dispatches contra-
ct the report of the entrance of the fleets, and

FURTHER PARTICULARS.
ENTERING THE BLACK SEA.
ttil is well known to nil who take an interest in
affairs of the East, that the policy of Russia,
lllee the time of Catherine 11., and indeed before,
has been directed to make the Black Sea "a Rus-
41ltn Lake." So high has Nicholas been upon this
e'iorite policy that he has, long years ago, formally
enimunicated- to every court in Europe the decla-
ration that he should consider the entrance of a
leet of any European power into that sea as a de-
taration of war
