We have reason to know that the fleet now fitting out at
Constantinople is intended to act against the Bey of- Tunis,
with whom the Porte has just ground for complaint. We
have also reason to believe that the French Government is
not disposed to favour the object of this expedition, and that
the fleet now at Toulon is destined for that part of the African
coast. The grand Question In this state of affairs is, how far
will the British Government interfere to prevent France
meddling between the Porte and its vassal ? On that point
our correspondent refuses to give an opinion..—Morning
