THE BLACK SEA FLEET.

It has been stated, in various quarters, that the
Sublime Porte has addressed to our Government a
remonstrance against the longer continuance of the
British Fleet in the Black Sea.

We are enabled to state that no such representa-
tion has been made by Turkey; and we repeat that,
until the complete and faithful excution of the
Treaty of Paris, the British Fleet will not be with-
drawn from the Euxine.

The points at issue, however apparently insigni-
ficant in themselves, really involve the whole prin-
ciple for which we engaged in the late war, and of
which we obtained the full recognition in the
Treaty, signed at Paris on the too credulous sup-
position that it would bo honourably fulfilled.—
